If A STRANGER Parked A Tesla On YOUR Lawn And Used Your House To Charge, How Would YOU React?

Filed under 'I thought we heard everything', this bizarre tale seems almost impossible to imagine...Turns out not only did the Tesla Model 3 owner park on this strangers lawn, but they also plugged into the house for TWELVE hours to charge the #MuskMobile.

Inquiring minds want to know what YOU would have done should this have happened or does happen to YOU?

If you really thought you have seen everything, you did not watch stage 19 of the Tour de France today. An unbelievable turn of events featuring Mother Nature.

1.) Florida, of course it was
2.) This is the same as someone siphoning gas from your car, penalties should be similar
3.) He couldn't have charged at his friend's house?

Say you've driven to restaurant or fast food locale & discover your battery is basically on E....

Is it ok to just park on curb & plug your EV into their exterior outlet? overnight? would you really expect your EV to be there the next morning?

I'd like a minor update for this story - did the homeowner know the person the EV owner was visiting?

In today's world overrun with hate, malice and division, I think it's commendable that the homeowner didn't press charges or charge the Tesla owner for electricity used. My respect goes out to Mr. Fraumeni.

I have a Weatherby 12 gauge shot gun that I have at the ready just for that exact scenario that the article describes. It is used to defend against robbers and burglars.

If it's on my lawn, it means it's more than 200 feet past the gate to the property and all of the security systems (cameras and alarms) have failed. The car would not be my concern. The AR15 would be out.

I can't guarantee that the car would not inadvertently roll down the sloped part of the property and into the river.

It cannot happen on MY property - my house is over 1000 feet off the road - I actually have Several Telephone poles on my property to get the utilities down to the house - I do not have any Electrical Outlets easily available outside - they are behind locked panels - BUT I also do not power them up unless I am using them.

My entire farm is legally posted no Trespassing (I have had lots of hunters arrested for being on my property) One had the nerve - on Thanksgiving day - to actually walk with loaded gun - right up to the back of my house (Law says need to be 500 feet from dwellings), Not only was he arrested - the town towed away his car.

Trust us, Tom. No one is desperate enough to want your electricity because they would have to listen to you drone on.

Thank you, Mr Tesla owner. You're making us BMW owners look a little less bad. ;-)

Tesla owners are greater douchebags than Audi/BMW/Mercedes owners.

I don't think so, but then again I've only seen BMW drivers consistently be douchy on the road.

A douchebag once said: "I don't think so, but then again I've only seen BMW drivers consistently be douchy on the road."

The Silicon Valley stereotype that I'm hearing is that Tesla drivers are driving too slow (probably because of Autopilot). I'm not sure if that is much better than the douchy stereotype.
