The encounter between a Rivian driver and uninformed Tesla owner highlights ‘a need for better education and communication within the EV community,’ the Rivian driver says.

    genuine question: why call the police anyway? say the tesla driver was right and there was no compatibility. what were they thinking the rivian driver is gonna do? worst case scenario is they are gonna realize their mistake and… leave?

    like how is this different from me seeing someone accidentally filling a minivan with diesel and calling the fucken cops about it? i feel there is something more malicious going on here than “a need for education” unless i am missing something.

          It’s a cult. As with most capitalist cults, you’re only accepted if you spend money how they want you to.

      Maybe he thought he would fuck up the charger.

      I think they were just angry because the Rivian isn’t designed for Supercharging and so was parked sideways across two parking spots.
