Nope….

I’ve got tow straps but nobody is around yet. Sitting around on the curb hoping someone will come by. With my luck it’ll be a BMW Isetta

LOL no tow strap needed for that....

Not near Northern VA are you?

If you have a tire iron & a wheel chock

Chock the wheel so it won't roll back further.
Place truck in tow mode
Use tire iron on a lug nut to rotate wheel.
Move a few inches / foot at a time relocate the wheel chock.
Maybe you can muscle the truck yourself into position?
Helpers push you up the hill?

The place was a wasteland. Not a soul I. Sight. Tried rocking it and chocking it but I’m just weak sauce. Luckily 7 drunk girls piled out of a minivan and came to my rescue. She’s plugged in now and I’ll end up on some social media site I’m sure..

@TaxmanHog beat me to it.

So it takes 7 drunk girls and 1 yellow buddy to push a lightning 5 ft? Not bad.

I’m sure just 1 drunk girl would’ve done but I’m not going to complain.

The $1 million dollar question. I’m parked like a jerk, taking up 3 spots across because it was the easiest. How long do I let it charge for before attempting to move it - and potentially getting stuck again when I back it up

What's the charging speed? If it's one of those slow 6kwh I'd go at least an hour to be on the safe side. Maybe tell the front desk and have them call you if the parking lot suddenly fills up and it becomes a problem?

That’s a good idea I’ll let them know. Although I’m pretty sure it’s just me and those girls in this hotel. There’s no other cars in the lot.

When someone physically threatens you, or it’s above 3 miles of range remaining.

Just make sure you get their number so they can help push you again...
