Are they blind? lazy? don't give a shit? (Click to enlarge) |
I will confess that one of the biggest disappointments I have in the electric vehicle movement has been the realization that other EV owners can be absolute slobs, just tossing out their garbage on the ground. I guess I was too naïve, too stupid, to have assumed that those who had gotten rid of polluting tailpipes would, by definition, care about the environment, keeping our world clean, being considerate and courteous to others. My idealism about their basic decency has been shot to hell, reinforced every time I stop by our local Superchargers to help clean up the site. There is a huge garbage dumpster there, at the end of the row of Superchargers, as shown in the above photo. Those who plug in when passing through St. George are either blind, goddamn lazy, or simply don’t give a shit about the world we live in. I have posted below some of the litter that I have gathered over time, and I will undoubtedly add more photos in the future.

The first year we had our Model 3, while on a roadtrip, I was appalled to see that some Tesla owners had just dumped their trash out at the Superchargers. At the time I assumed that it was just an rare instance.

Apparently not. A few months later, on the next roadtrip, I found more garbage tossed out at that very same Supercharger.

It was particularly irritatating to witness such a lack of decency, consideration, concern for our environment, since there was a garbage can only 10 steps away from that Supercharger!

On a subsequent roadtrip, when we stopped at the Superchargers in Las Vegas, fellow owners had again dumped out their trash all over the site, so I put on my gloves to gather it up and throw it away.

Although I never use our local Superchargers, I resolved to periodically stop by there and gather up the crap that Tesla owners would toss out there, like this junk at the main site…

…and more crappola at the smaller site near our Convention Center.

What? You don't like your takeout barbecue french fries? So you just leave it next to the Supercharger?

Yeah… while waiting to recharge, you can freshen up your toenail polish and then just toss the toe separator on the ground, right?

Why not floss your teeth while waiting for the charge to finish? You can then just throw your floss tool on the ground.

Nice. Bought some new shoes? Just leave the old ones by the Supercharger.

How delightful! These particular shitwits had tossed out three —count ‘em: 3!— rolled up dirty diapers.

The biggest haul yet! Just dump all your garbage behind the Supercharger cabinets. Who'll notice, right?

Black sheep, black sheep, litter like a fool?
Yes sir, yes sir, two bags full!

So kind and considerate of the Tesla owners who tossed out 2 dirty diapers on the ground, let alone all the other trash.

I’m just a nanny for the Tesla toddlers who have money to burn…? What a generous tip.

So much for Thanksgiving, Tesla owners.
