Tesla Leaves Woman Stranded After Intentionally Blocking Her from Charging Vehicle

An 🌵Arizona Tesla owner became a spectator to the drama around her own car as a paperwork mistake led to her being unable to charge her car.

The drama began with what Erine Erickson of Scottsdale characterized as a fender bender and churned away in the background until she sought to have her car’s battery replaced, according to KTVK-TV.

She got her battery, but did not know that while her car was there, technicians turned off the supercharge feature that would let her charge the car in 15 minutes.

Oh, and no one told her.

In fact, she didn’t know she even had a problem until she stopped at a supercharger station and nothing happened.

“That’s when people saw me and came up to me and people were trying to troubleshoot it,” she said. “But nobody had ever seen anything like it.”

The result was, as she put it, “3,000 pounds of metal in a parking spot downstairs.”

So why did someone do this to her? The long and winding road of the story goes back to the accident she had.

Tesla said that when the battery was being replaced, its technicians checked Carfax, which claimed the car had been totaled in a collision and had a salvaged title.
