EW! Don't dump your trash beside the Supercharger!

DavidB · May 15, 2015

This morning I was forced to deal with a dirty diaper someone left right beside the Port St. Lucie Supercharger, Florida.

Seriously? Especially when there is a dumpster just past the row of chargers? Clean up after yourself!

Yuck!
I would hope that SuperCharger users would be more considerate than that.
I suppose it could have been left by an ICE driver. Don't know why they didn't hold onto it until they saw a garbage can (okay, I can imagine, but still).

Hopefully it was just a mistake. Being a parent of young kids does weird things to your brain, on top of dealing with sudden back-of-car diaper changes on an uncooperative kid. I've driven away with a dirty diaper on the roof of my car before (not the MS).

That right there in the picture is a pull-up diaper, the kid might have taken it off him/herself when mom/dad wasn't looking.

I have visited that SC and there must be 2-3 huge dumpsters along with Moes and Starbucks to throw away trash.
Guess that kid had a s*itty time at the SC... lol

Good catch! guess I don't know my diapers that well.

Perhaps this is what happened. The thought that the parent possibly didn't know makes me feel better about the situation.

Also possible. Yes, I remember some silly blunders I made back when I had two children under 3.

Looks like it was strategically placed lol

If it makes you feel any better, the Chademo charger nearest to us, often has a sparkletts bottle left next to it ... re-filled ... yellow. I tossed it once myself ... but after that ... forget it.

Another argument in favor of the pano roof!

(In my case, it was a wallet)

Once again, I'm embarrassed to be a native Floridian.

this happened in england too, but worse. A few cups of coffee and a plastic bag with rubbish in, dumped next to a SC.

You could argue they need bins but really, if that were me i'd take it with me until the next stop!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned being left intentionally as an anti-Tesla statement.

smells like poop

The trunk of a Model S, especially when fitted with the optional rubber mat, is a fantastic place to change a baby. Looks like someone made the swap, set the diaper aside for later disposal, and forgot about it. No excuse, but easy to do with a crying kid.

I love Auntie Annie's!

You know what they say, sh*t happens!

Unfortunately there are no places to put trash at "my" supercharger (Lakepoint, Utah). But I'm not about to mess up the place so any trash in my S goes home with me.

Are there any Superchargers where there is a trash can? I'd be surprised. There is no maintenance at most locations. I guess there are people in the world who think trash cans magically empty themselves.

As a parent, while I go out of my way to make sure I don't leave diapers (and trash behind), I will say, it is easy, especially if child is disabled, to set a diaper down with full intention of trashing it, and forget. I've done that before, but went back and trashed it as soon as I remembered.
Change diaper, put kid in car seat, strap em down, instincts are to hop in and go.

EW! Don't dump your trash beside the Supercharger!
