[UPDATE] I'm 99% sure the blue Tesla villain is now illegally hogging the ADA charger.

Right before I even had a chance to complain, our management sent out a community-wide courtesy email about EV etiquette and handicap parking rules. It seemed to work initially, as the car disappeared for a short while—whether by coincidence or because of the email, I'm not sure.

​But they’re back today, and I strongly suspect they’ve doubled down on their audacity.

​They are parked in the B1 ADA-accessible Tesla charging space, but they’ve intentionally pulled in head-first. They have always backed in previously, so this feels like a blatant attempt to hide their dashboard from a quick glance, making it much harder for staff or other residents to easily check for a handicap placard.

​I know this car's history: they previously hogged a regular charging stall for over a week without plugging in. I haven't walked up to the front to verify the placard because I don't want my face recorded on their Sentry Mode, but everything about this screams "illegal occupancy."

​Seeing them potentially block a space meant for residents with disabilities, especially when our building is already short on chargers, is infuriating.

​My roommate suggests I just ignore it for my own sanity. But I’m struggling with a dilemma: do I just close my eyes to this potential violation to protect my mental health, or do I keep pushing to hold them accountable?

​Has anyone else reached this point of frustration with a neighbor? How do you cope when management's generic emails don't stop the behavior, and you're just left to deal with the anger?

[Advice needed] Neighbor blocking apartment EV charging spot for over a week without charging.

​

I live in an apartment complex, and there’s a blue Tesla parked in one of our B1 EV charging stalls. Here’s the catch—it’s been sitting there for over a week without even being plugged in. Just using it as a VIP personal parking spot.

​I already contacted management, but they haven't done anything about it.

​Seriously, what is going through this driver’s head? As an EV owner, you’d think they’d have some basic etiquette for the charging community. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of neighbor? How do you get management (or the driver) to actually take action?
