Trashy Tesla Owners at Superchargers Mark D Larsen

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.

December 24, 2018 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.	May 14, 2019 Apparently not. A few months later, on the next roadtrip, I found more garbage tossed out at that very same Supercharger.
May 14, 2019 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!	March 11, 2020 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.
September 19, 2020 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…	September 19, 2020 …and more crappola at the smaller site near our Convention Center.

May 9, 2021	May 19, 2021 What? You don't like your takeout barbecue french fries? So you just leave it next to the Supercharger?
June 6, 2020	June 27, 2021 Yeah… while waiting to recharge, you can freshen up your toenail polish and then just toss the toe separator on the ground, right?

August 6, 2021 Why not floss your teeth while waiting for the charge to finish? You can then just throw your floss tool on the ground.	August 22, 2021
August 29, 2021	September 20, 2021 Nice. Bought some new shoes? Just leave the old ones by the Supercharger.
October 17, 2021	November 28, 2021 How delightful! These particular shitwits had tossed out three —count ‘em: 3!— rolled up dirty diapers.

March 3, 2022 xxx	May 1, 2022 The biggest haul yet! Just dump all your garbage behind the Supercharger cabinets. Who'll notice, right?
