Tesla drivers calls it ICE-ing, after the initials for internal combustion engine: Its where gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles block access to Superchargers as a way to... protest electric vehicles I guess? It has to be frustrating to be barred from obtaining the single thing your car needs to function, but it looks like Tesla owners are looking at new ways to fight back.
Tesla Trip on Youtube is one of those folks whos pretty annoyed at the fact that people are anti-Tesla enough that big ol bro-trucks went viral for taking up all the parking stations at a Sheetz in Hickory, North Carolina.
Teslas are known for being capable of towing just about everything, including pulling semis up snowy hills. It definitely makes sense that something as simple as a truck would be easy cargo. But its still an amusing video nonetheless.
Yes, the video is staged by Tesla Trips Patrick Lawson and his sisterbut that doesnt mean they made it easy on themselves. They went out to an empty Supercharger station in Loveland, Colorado and engaged the trucks emergency brakes as a way to simulate what it would be like if someone had parked their truck in anger and refused to move.
In the video, it looks pretty dang simple. The 5,104 lb Chevy Silverado doesnt stand a chance. The message is clear: Dont mess with Tesla.
