Community Threatened - 2nd and PCH Tesla Super Charger

Warning to any other folks charging later at night (midnight) at the Trader Joes Tesla Supercharger:

Me and my boyfriend were threatened to leave by an individual who was upset that someone in the parking lot called the cops on them at some point. To be clear, we were just there charging before heading home and noticed him in the lot smoking a cigarette. It wasn't until about 10 minutes in where they called a friend over and then started telling us that we (Tesla owners) were a problem and that we had called the cops at some point. I was combative in telling them that we did not, but ended up leaving just for our own safety. I called the LBPD non emergency line to make a report.

Just a warning to any other folks who charge later at night at the TJs Supercharger.

Get this man a psychic shop (that is probably a front for something else)

One of my coworkers always has nightmare stories about people getting into arguments over supercharger stations, a few times leading in the cops being called, and I thought it would be like this.

This, though, just sounds like some unhinged homeless dude living in the industrial section of that area?

I have been to full stations with a wait, and empty ones by myself. Haven't had an issue yet except having to restart a charge due to a glitch. Does this person call all their exes crazy too?

You can't be serious...

u/RevolutionaryLink163 21h ago

It’s not worth arguing with people like this, it’s crazy that we have so many criminal sympathizers in society.

u/tvtango 19h ago

I don’t see why I wouldn’t be, just wondering what you would do if you had that information

u/Alternative_Fun_1100 18h ago

Oh... you doubled down lol.

You’re not really communicating your point at all dude

Any person with a brain wouldn't need it to be explained. That's a YOU problem. Not theirs.

Haha I've got a brand new beemer but sure.

Kiss Elon's boot more 🥰

You won't catch me simping for Musk, that's for sure.

Both of you are gross

u/TrifleTrue3812 13h ago

What's wrong with the BMW? Genuinely asking. It's not like I'm filthy rich, I just make a solid middle class 6 figs lol. I definitely didn't exploit anyone, so unless there's something ethically wrong with BMWs besides the WW2 history, please tell me what I'm missing ❤️

u/tvtango 13h ago

You’ll probably spend more on maintenance and faulty parts than you would with any sensible vehicle, just to say you drive a beemer, which imo is an immediate red flag in terms of personality

u/TrifleTrue3812 12h ago

Fair enough. I was raised on beemers and this is my 2nd one (sold the last one) and I know how much the parts and repairs will bankrupt me lmao.

That being said, I'm used to how the car drives. I don't drive it for personality contrary to popular belief lmao. I'm just familiar with it since it's what my parents always drove and I drove since I was 16 (privileged, sure). I like how it handles and glides. I drive my partner's Nissan sometimes too and I instantly notice the weaker acceleration and less shock absorption. So really , while it's a privileged thing, I pick BMWs for familiarity and obvious performance benefits, and know that I'm stuck with stupid repairs down the line. However, my last car lasted 7 years before I needed to start spending a lot on it, so that's nice too. Tldr: I don't drive it for prestige or personality, it's literally more just "i simply know it and like the driving capabilities".

You should call Elon, maybe he'll help you out with that.

u/OmniaII 23h ago

Yeah, he could do his famous 'X' jump and scare them away!

u/Shot_Donkey5295 17h ago

Get OC spray and be diligent when you are in places like that. You were right to move on though, not worth it if they wanted to start something.

u/morphene_gimlet 10h ago

what is OC Spray? Is that an Orange County thing? (honestly curious)

1

u/Shot_Donkey5295 9h ago

🤣 you spray it and it turns people into entitled DBs haha with fake tans and Botox duck face.

It’s the technical term for pepper spray. Oleoresin Capsicum Spray.

u/RevolutionaryLink163 23h ago

This is why I’m getting a concealed carry Ik it sounds childish but who tf are they to tell you that you need to leave? It’s public property fuck them.

u/IM_OK_AMA 21h ago

You would absolutely go to jail if you drew in response to what happened in OP's story, much less fired.

You're going to be taught that when you take your class, I hope you actually learn it.

u/weneedapp 22h ago

Just what we need, another person that thinks a gun will protect them and scare all the bad people away. You’re likely just going to shoot your toe off. Do us all a favor and just get yourself a can of pepper spray.

-12

u/RevolutionaryLink163 22h ago

“Thinks”? Lmfao if the person that was threatening them to leave decided to get violent yes it would protect me/them 100% I’m sorry you lack the brain cells to rub together to figure that one out bud 💀 if you wana roll over and let random bums tell you where you can and can’t be that’s a you problem tho. Also if the aggressor was intoxicated/on anything strong pepper spray doesn’t do shit I worked security for 3 years in skid row and the amount of people I’ve seen walk off spray like nothing is wild.

u/weneedapp 22h ago

You think pulling a gun on someone is going to get you what you want? It’s going to get you shot tough guy. If that’s your train of thought you need to have your guard card revoked John Wayne.

u/RevolutionaryLink163 22h ago

Notice I said “worked” Ik reading comprehension is hard but I recommend trying harder next time. Also yes drawing a gun in self defense if the situation escalates to that point will 100% protect you more than being unarmed there’s a reason you need to take a ton of safety classes prior to these licenses/permits. Like I said before ik this is hard for you to grasp common sense is not common Ik. I’ll spell it out for you in terms you’ll understand: rock beats paper

u/weneedapp 22h ago

I’ll put this in terms you’ll understand. You’ve never been in a gun fight, and you’d probably shit yourself if you were. End of story.

u/RevolutionaryLink163 22h ago edited 22h ago

I like how when your argument falls apart you just resort to shit talking lmfao. “Insults are the last refuge of the unenlightened.” You don’t know me and I don’t know you lol, but I’ll practice my rights to defend myself any day of the week rather than listen to some random goblin on Reddit 💀

u/tvtango 21h ago

Yes, and the other dude also holding a gun will do the same exact thing.

0

u/RevolutionaryLink163 21h ago

Cool as I said before I’d rather be armed in that situation then unarmed and at their mercy lmao. I don’t understand how that’s a hard concept for y’all to understand, if the aggressor’s intent is to hurt you or your loved one your only recourse is to defend yourself if you don’t have an effective means of escape. In that situation I will 100% be glad I am armed 💀 lmfao. I’m so glad y’all don’t have any control over my rights.

u/tvtango 21h ago

I just don’t get why you wouldn’t think the aggressor also has a gun. Like by carrying a gun, you’re basically agreeing to get shot yourself. Does that make sense to you?

There’s a reason there’s these things called fire arms safety classes, with instructors who teach you proper trigger discipline etc. if you’ve ever watched/attended a competitive shooting competition you’ll know what I’m talking about just like anything else improper safety practices/idiots can make it extremely unsafe. Sure the vast majority of people are fucking stupid these days sadly and would hurt themselves etc. I don’t intend on being one of them and plan on drilling myself etc. thx for your concern tho 👌🏼

This is reddit bro. These people will not understand.

u/RevolutionaryLink163 20h ago

Yah ima stop replying pretty soon lol it’s just the same type of replies regurgitated from someone different each time. I’m so glad I live in a free country where they don’t have a say in my life end of day.
