    I’m writing this at a supercharger on the way back from mother’s place. No I didn’t stop at ford again. My stress only lasted for 5 seconds after the owner ripped the cord off my car and I jumped out. Once I realized the car was ok because Tesla engineers planned for jack asses slamming the...

    Actually quite bored of your comments and lack of ammo. If no one can produce a publication from a dealer on the subject. It’s just the Wild West then on what is and isn’t ok.

    I 100% agree. I’m a check verify kind of person and didn’t see the harm stopping for 30mins as other leaf owners had to see if this could serve me in a emergency situation while visiting family in a rural part of Florida. And I’m glad this encounter happened when I was alone and not have family...

    “What the owners says Trumps everything” Interesting word choice. Could reveal your true troll identity if this is politically motivation. I never once said I was entitled to anything. And left immediately after the owner ripped out the charging cord. But you continue to make up stuff and...

    I wasn’t being serious. But at least talk to the customer and give them the benefit of the doubt if possible and be nice.

    You kinda went on your own tantrum there. I’m not asking or suggested for Tesla owners to band together. I said before i’m not looking for sympathy. I actually like many Ford trucks and mustangs. Which is why was shopping for a new truck. I also don’t own any Tesla stock or ford stock. I hope...

    Sales guy was supper nice and said yes to charging. He then proceeded to almost walking me almost completely back to the restroom. I felt guilty asking the guy to go look at cars in the hot son. Didn't want to offend them and on what I was really thinking putting them down compared to a larger...

    All jokes aside its clear there is material to open the debate about this issue. Which is the whole point of this thread as I'm not looking for sympathy. On one side you have people that think if a Nissan leaf can charge at non-Nissan dealers like Ford without harassment so can Tesla. You...

    Hell no is right, they don't discount anything. I called this morning to check and spoke with manager. They told me I had to get a punch card and only have two punches so far. After the 10th punch I get a free ice cream from Baskin Robbins. We are talking about icecream right?

    I asked for permission and got it from a sales person. Was I suppose to chase down some owner at a golf course to get more approval. With proper policy and procedures and training none of this would have happened. Tesla trolls are real

    Common sense would say that if the dealer knows they have the potential to sell many cars to this family business why not heavily discount one truck to sell them 10 more later. Of course other dealers will be shopped for comparison.

    I already said earlier. My family bought two trucks from this dealer and many more from another. Why would I pick a fight with my best chance at getting a discounted truck. That would be pretty stupid. My goal is to find a new truck by July. And I asked for permission to charge for the...

    If they want to put a sign charging is only for certain people with non-offensives vehicles like Prius and Leaf that's fine with me. Just own up to it and stop pretending to be one way or the other and make the policy that everyone can follow. Marketing/Sales 101 Things went so well recently...

    Hotels make it very clear they are for patrons only with signs and notifications on Plugshare. I'm not one to cross that line either unless unless I'm staying at the hotel. What surprises me is that other Nissan Leaf owners had charged at this public listed location without any issues or...

    Less than 5 seconds is all I had before he started ripping the charging cable out. Of course I would have said that had he given me time but he was on a mission. I wanted to start this thread to see if any others had experiences like this at other dealerships because I haven't. Is Ford...

    Fair point, I was kinda curious to see if I could ever use this charger in a emergency situation where I stayed at my parents to long and needed enough juice to get back to Orlando. It seemed more practical to wait catching up on emails for work until my mother finished her doctors appointment...

    This dealership like many other Ford dealership was listed as a free public charger on Plugshare. According to Plugshare other cars including Nissan Leafs had checked in recently and used this charger with no problems or payments expected. This particular dealership has since removed their...

    Owner of Weikertford.com in Lake Wales FL kicked me out for using their Level 2 charger after I had already received permission to use it from a salesperson. While visiting my parents I decided to visit the Weikert Ford dealer in Lake Wales FL to see if any improvements had been made to the...

    I do enjoy the reitz union and the food court options, it’s just the slow level 2 charge 15 miles an hour doesn’t add to much like you said. So far I’ve used the reitz union, O’Conner center, law school, Audi dealer, dental school and Whole Foods on archer. Just getting to these locations eats...

    Just did a google search on the contractor PAVEL REDKO listed on the permit. And it’s pretty scary what I found. R3dko.com is the website for the contractor. The site doesn’t look like a legitimate electrical contractor company website and the guy lives in Atlanta. Don’t want to be quick...

    Ugly red line is where superchargers are. I've only been there once and it wasn't even 50% capacity. Also noticed a pretty empty garage behind the Ulta. So I can only speak of my one time there and this google satellite view. The cars that do park in the back where the superchargers are...

    It just doesn't make any sense when other Tesla Supercharger construction sites are going smoothly and coming online fast. In my legal experience, anything someone tells you on the phone is considered hear say. So we can't conclude Tesla is to blame. Putting them on notice forces them to...
