Pickup Truck Driver Caught Unplugging Tesla Model 3 While Owner Was Sleeping Inside | Carscoops carscoops
have become increasingly helpful in catching people in the act. And in the case of this Model 3 Performance owner, it caught a pickup truck driver trying to unplug his car while he was sleeping in it.
Given the cost of gas these days, the pickup driver could have been bitter that EV owners have to pay next to nothing to fill up their cars. However, the price they do have to pay is long recharging times. For this owner’s Performance, its 82 kWh battery was being charged with a 7 kWh charger, which would take over 10 hours if he was going from 0 to 100 percent charge.Tesla’s Sentry Mode Catches UK Woman Keying Model 3, Video Used As Evidence In Precedent Case
More than likely, though, he was just topping the battery off, but that would still take quite some time, hence the decision to just plug it in while he slept. When the incident occurred at 11:30 PM in Ontario, Canada, the car was the only EV in the lot, and the Sentry Mode video begins with the blackpulling up right behind it. It then shows the pickup’s driver coming around side the Tesla to tamper with its charging plug, at which point the video stopped because the car unlocked.
In the end, the pickup driver was able to unplug the charging cord from the vehicle, but the Model 3 owner’s adapter, which converts the North American standard J1772 plug to the proprietaryunit, stayed locked in the port. It’s one thing to do something like this to an unattended car , but it takes a whole other kind of boldness to do it when there’s someone in the vehicle.

The 2023 National Seismic Hazard Model – What's Shaking? | U.S. Geological SurveyWhen you push on the gas pedal in the car or put on the brakes, the car goes faster or slower. When it is changing from one speed to another, it is accelerating (faster) or decelerating (slower). This change from one speed, or velocity, to another is called acceleration. Technically, then, acceleration is how much the velocity changes in a unit time. \r\n\r\nDuring an earthquake when the ground is shaking, it also experiences acceleration. The peak acceleration is the largest increase in velocity recorded by a particular station during an earthquake.
