I Parked Next to a Tesla Today....
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2025 12:51 am
On my way to the local Safeway today I pulled up behind a Tesla stopped in a left turn lane with a red light. The light turned green and I had to honk my horn after about 30 seconds or more to remind the driver that a green arrow means "go".
It turned out to be a lady driving and she was also going to Safeway. So I followed and ended up parking in the space alongside hers because it was the best available spot. She didn't get out of her car. I thought maybe that she thought I was going fire bomb her car or something so I got out of my car and quickly walked past her and went into the store.
After about a half hour I returned to my car and the Tesla was still parked next to my car. I couldn't help but notice a couple of signs sitting on its dashboard.
So I took a photo.....
Sign on left: "Stay Silent You Stay Powerless" On right: "Musk Is Stealing From You"
I wondered if those words were heartfelt or were simply meant to deter vandals - and if something like that would actually work
So, I keyed her car and then quickly drove home.
Just Kidding!!!!
(and I'm aware that I was likely recorded when I took the photo)
