Why do Tesla owners tap before charging?
Recently, I’ve watched some videos in Tiktok about Tesla and I found that many Tesla owners tap the back light of their Tesla 4 to 5 times before charging. Why do they do that? Simply – that’s one way to open the charging port door. It’s hidden behind a panel that looks like part of the drivers’ side tail light.
Should you wave to other drivers?
The best advice in these situations is to never wave someone into traffic. As mentioned above, you can leave a gap and let them in, but never make eye contact or wave people in. Waving or gesturing can indicate that it’s safe, which then means you’re taking on a duty/responsibility.
