This is pretty common and accepted as normal around my neighborhood. It's a minor inconvenience to walk around... this reaction seems crazy
CarlottaVonSprockett
My neighborhood (and my previous one as well) doesn’t even have sidewalks. I hate it, but I guess the developer didn’t want to bother.
PetiteMortAuFromage
It's pretty. Looks like modern art.

This is the wrong response. You walk over the car. If it damages it, oh well.

Yeah this is so dumb. My friends city won’t let anyone park overnight in the streets so they have to squeeze into driveway like this. Paint?

This is ridiculous. It’s not a Tesla thing, so many people park in driveways and block the sidewalk in all types of cars. It’s not ok but…

It doesn’t warrant this either.

Ummm he just mentioned the brand. Couldve been as easily "mercedez"
milkmyrod
Both are proper dick moves. There could a be a legit reason that he parked there as a one off? I'm not sure what but there could be.
RoyalOss
Even if not a legit reason its still a dick move to doo, that probally costs thousands as the entire paint job has to be redone
DangerTrain
Wow, somebody yesterday also had a neighbor do this exact same thing, same picture and everything. Or you're pretending it's your neighbor.

This seems over the top. Sometimes shit happens and you gotta park that way. I'm doing it now because my mother-in-law died. long story.
MagnaAnimusMessor
My driveway is shared. Can only fit 1 car without blocking sidewalk. But get ticketed for “street cleaning” from 2-6 am.
MagnaAnimusMessor
And they street clean at 3 in the afternoon. It’s just another money-grab for the city. My driveway sucks and so do all my neighbors.
funkystay
I agree that this is over the top. Odds are a family Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe call the police instead of vandalizing his car.

No no no. This is good just like this. Response has to be hard enough for them to actually learn.
pvtpastapajamas
if they didn’t realize what they’d done, they’re not gonna learn anything. other people’s belongings aren’t yours to destroy
jaakkopaakkonen
People are not going to learn if ypu dont give them opportunity to do so. Whether they actually learn or not is irrelevant
jaakkopaakkonen
But side walks are there for tesla owners to park on?
serenityfast
To actually learn? Why are you immediately assuming the person does this all the time or is intentionally disregarding it? Goddamn.
Mithi
Because you can not "unintentionally" park across a sidewalk.
Mithi
And No, the driver will not really learn, but him being afraid of his cart being vandalized again will no longer par it outside.
serenityfast
Gotta be honest dude, but everyone I know would think it was a drugged out psycho, not someone mad about the parking job
jaakkopaakkonen
Because i woukd never do it, so yes.
serenityfast
Plus, you never even considered for a second the other reasons someone might park there. Including disabled.
serenityfast
But you would commit a felony in the off chance the person might figure out what your psychotic episode was supposed to mean? Yeah?

Parking over sidewalks is not universally illegal.
leodavinci1
Either way it is a rather common occurrence in residential areas. So much so that nothing is usually done about it.

Varies wildly from neighborhood to neighborhood.. and how much behind that beat cop is on his quota.

Yup the side repeater cameras look unaffected, if the owner has Sentry mode enabled then it would've captured it.

I've never heard of a sentry system not working. What are you even talking about?
Howlingowl
Teslas are notorious for terrible build quality, recalls and vehicles needing to be sent back to the factory. In essence: they’re shit cars
errrikblack
Yea but I don't believe there is any data or anecdotal evidence for sentry systemCan you share any nhtsa reports on recalls or anything?
Howlingowl
In 2021, a bug in a software update caused the antilock brakes to activate after coming out of sentry mode. 12,000 vehicles were recalled.
Howlingowl
So, let me get this straight. You AGREE with me that the cars are shit and don’t work. But when I make a joke saying so, instead of laughing
EconomySwordfish4
Also, when it's off? Wouldn't that drain the battery. If the cameras continue recording and saving those recordings is a tesla ever off?
errrikblack
Sentry system always operates when off unless battery SOC is like 10% or something
Ghlargh
Since it's an all electric car it has a MASSIVE battery, a normal gas car can run a camera system for weeks, a Tesla could run it for years*
Ghlargh
* of course the Tesla has other always-on systems as well so in reality it would only last a few weeks.
killernerd
1/2Not entirely true, if sentry mode is off the main battery disconnects after a couple of hours turning it "off" except for key detection.
killernerd
2/2 in this state the main batt barely loses any charge, maybe 1% every couple of days to internal resistance. Now with sentry mode ON
killernerd
4/2 drains 3-5% of battery per day. Source: I own a Tesla

They aren't parked on their driveway, they're parked on the sidewalk. Which is public land and illegal to do.
fruitybootyhole
Still not the right way to handle things
MagnaAnimusMessor
Honestly I’ve had to block the sidewalk too. It’s a shared driveway with my neighbor and we get ticketed if we park in street at night.
Leithreas
I don't personally think it's a huge deal, like jaywalking, but any asshole trying to claim it's legal is wrong.
MagnaAnimusMessor
Depends on the city ordinance.Got a $50 for blocking and then the cop had to walk to 5 other houses on block to ticket them for blocking too
DickInAToaster
They are parked in their driveway. This is perfectly normal and legal in my state.
Travtwohander
Perfectly normal in a lot of places, it really depends on if this is a neighborhood or downtown city area.
SybilCrawley
Sidewalk and boulevard are in the city's right of way. They tow cars that block sidewalks where I live. (It's a hazard for snow removal)
DickInAToaster
Where i live it doesn’t snow and most homes have cars parked live this at night. In the AM ppl go to work and it mostly clears up the sidewa
DickInAToaster
Regardless, destroying someone’s private property is unacceptable. I would even say the paint may be totally unrelated to the sidewalk.

As someone who walked my elderly dad around the neighborhood i approve of this response.
