The Bldg management will have to put up a sign that limits use of the charger parking spots to X number of hours/day or something similar similar along with a warning that offenders will be fined or towed at their expense.I'm reviving my own old thread out of simple frustration with they Model Y owner. I'm rip snorting mad (at my building) and this awful woman driving this Model Y. I'm tempted to post a picture of her vehicle and licence plate here.
So, let's get to the "not so bad" part first... We have a new EV in the building. Polestar. Guy gets in super early and take one of the two charging spots pretty much everyday. I think that's fair game but he often gets a full charge and just stays plugged in for anywhere from 2-3 hours after he's charged. I got my new Model S with Sentry so what does my camera catch...
Polestar guy comes out of the elevator with Model Y lady who is parked next to the staircase. He's done charging. He waits by his car while she drives around, he pulls out, she pulls in. He takes her spot right next to the stairs, she take the charging spot, not affording anyone else a chance. Frankly, this had NO effect on me personally but now we have abut 8 EV's in the building do others are not being given an opportunity.
Fast forward to yesterday...
I have a handicapped employee. She parks in the appropriate designated area, there is ONLY one spot. She comes to the office, after having to walk much more than she should have to and upset because "someone without a placard was in the handicapped spot". I went down to see... and low and behold it was Madame Model Y. No placard, she's not disabled, in fact, her only disability might be the six inch stilletos I saw her with from my Sentry mode.
I took pics and sent it to the building. Her explanation... "she was only there temporarily, while she was waiting for Mr. Polestar to move his car". She was probably parked there for 30-45 minutes. Other than a "warning", our building really did nothing.
I think all of this is a result of a few factors...
1. Human nature is inherently bad and offering "free" anything (like charging) brings out the worst in people.
2. Laziness is a disease. Both Ms. Model Y and Mr. Polestar refuse to park anywhere more than a few feet from the elevator entrance (charger is 10-15 feet away). They will literally move mountains to ensure they don't have to walk more than a few steps.
Was thinking of leaving a picture of her car parked in the handicapped spot right by the elevator bank saying notifying other tenants. Really efing annoyed.
The real answer would be a monthly permit for EV owners along with an appropriate cost and instructions as to maximum time per day at the charger. Violators would have their permit revoked.
