Fuck Elon Fucking Musk.
I needed a hotel tonight. I’m on my first long distance trip with my new EV (Toyota BZ4X). The Marriott web site says this hotel has 8 EV spaces. Nice.
I ask at the front desk. “Oh yes. They’re just there, first level of the parking garage. Can’t miss them.”
Giant sign in the public lot says “EV chargers”. They are all Tesla. Only Tesla connectors. If my car’s plug fit (it doesn’t) it would mean paying money to the world’s worst living human. I won’t do that if I can avoid it.
So these are not “EV” charging spots. They are #TESLA charging slots. Neither the hotel nor the city knows the difference. Neither the hotel nor the city’s information says ANYTHING about what the spots are. Lucky for me, I have enough juice to go to a non-nazi charger tomorrow.
Makes me so angry. I was counting on this and now I have to deal with it tomorrow. Watch this thread for the OTHER EV charging frustration I ran into today. First; I need to go to the hotel bar and get a drink.
