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.

They had signage saying tesla only, and the car was parked across two spots, so I can believe the owner looked like a massive dick without additional context.
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.
Calling the police becase somones a dick ? If he double parked at CostCo woukd he have called the cops, or taken a pic and posted in /c/assholedrivers ?
If you’re reading this as me defending the tesla owner calling cops, I’d just like to point out that I’m not.
