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.

    The charge ports on non-Teslas, meanwhile, are also in a different spot on the vehicle, meaning they may have to park parallel to a Supercharger, taking up two spots. That’s what happened here; “I had no choice but to park in a way that blocks two stalls,” according to the Rivian driver.

      Well yeah, that’s the additional context.

      Specifically, they have to park on the next spot to the right of the charger they are using, as the port on a Rivian is on the left front corner and the Tesla cables are really short. This happens basically on any EV that has the port on anywhere else except the left rear corner, or the front right corner.
      Which is most of them, as it seems the standard spot to put it is in front of the drivers (left side) door.
