I already posted about seeing a Nikola at a charging station in Bedford, PA:
https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/charged-next-to-a-nikola-this-weekend.11751/
But I didn't share about my very first time DCFC in Staunton back in July. It is a station where you can pull through, and I was just disoriented about where to park the truck so that I wasn't blocking another spot. I ended up pulling up next to a nice guy in an EV6 and going to plug in the truck.
"Hey, you won't be able to charge while I'm still here," I hear as I'm about to plug in. "Oh crap, rookie mistake!" I say as I look to see I've got the second cord from the same station in my hand. I then talk with him a bit about which were the 350w and 150w stations, and he tells me to avoid the CHAdeMO station that "probably won't work for you" since I'm not driving a Leaf.
At least I only looked silly in front of one guy and his wife and not the entire internet.
