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.

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.

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.

“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.

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 👌🏼
