I CHARGED my Porsche EV at TESLA SUPERCHARGERS and was SHOCKED to discover RIP OFF PARKING CHARGES!

Summary

The video follows a man test driving electric vehicles, beginning with his own EV Porsche. He plans to try Tesla's Supercharger network now open to other EVs. However, he learns Tesla owners are being charged exorbitant parking fees to charge at a Renaissance Hotel.

After testing two stations, he arrives at the hotel and confirms the unauthorized outrageous fees. He calls for a Tesla charger boycott of the hotel, arguing owners shouldn't pay to charge. Though not always an EV "evangelist," here he takes the owners' side against greedy "scum-sucking leeches" imposing fees.
