Tesla Factory Employees Drive Some Surprisingly Cool Cars
It seems Tesla didn't account for all of the employees it would need to run its Fremont production plant, because parking at the facility is a nightmare. It's so bad, an anonymous worker has taken to shaming bad parkers on Instagram.
The person behind Instagram's teslaparkinglot posts nothing but pictures of badly-parked Tesla employee vehicles, with a side of snarky commentary. While scrolling through the stacks of terrible park-jobs, though, you start to notice something interesting: Some of these Tesla employees drive pretty great cars.
Among the horde of regular economy cars, we're able to spot some true gems. While the normal cars outweigh the standouts in the crowd, it's clear there are some true enthusiasts working for Tesla Motors.
Here we see a classic Ford Bronco poking its nose out from behind a couple of very badly parked cars, itching to get out and be driven.
This E38-generation 7 Series is parked directly in the middle of the lane, blocking quite a few cars from leaving. It still looks pretty boss though.
Strangely enough, the account was even able to spot a car with a Tesla-issued parking ticket. While it would probably fetch a high price on eBay from some Tesla mega-fan, we're not sure how it could be legally enforced, since Tesla is not the police. The Instagrammer seems to indicate that the tickets mean nothing.
The owner of this sweet EJ-era Honda Civic with extra-wide wheels doesn't seem to care that he's blocking some cars from being able to leave.
A badass white Camaro was parking prominently in the 'EV-only' section of the lot, despite the high likelihood that there's an internal combustion engine under that grimy hood.
Teslas aren't the only electric vehicles showing up to work at the factory. Someone brought a battery-powered bike to work, and plugged it in before starting the day. Unfortunately, the rider took up an entire parking spot in the process.
Whatever the situation may be at Tesla's plant, we're glad we're able to see all of the cool vehicles its employees bring to work everyday. There's definitely a vein of gearheads at Tesla, which could help explain cars like the Model S P100D, which does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds.
