Actually, when I go to refuel my car I am required to stop at a "special exclusive spot" to refuel. It's called a gas pump.
It’s not exclusive when it’s intended for 99.9% of the driving public.
That’s like saying your crappy non handicap parking spot a mile from your work is exlusive to able bodied people.
These are the same types of "rolling coal" idiots who make their diesel trucks pollute on purpose, or people who intentionally waste energy on Earth Day.
They are fighting a losing battle, tilting at windmills. The number of Tesla charging stations keeps dramatically increasing. Even in the ones shown, they were ineffective in blocking the ports.
New European Model 3's are going to be able to use CCS chargers also.
How often are these guys going to want to sit around doing nothing. Much ado about nothing.

It’s a prank, not a global conspiracy.
It was intended to rile up Tesla owners which apparently has turned out to be a massive success, hence multiple news stories on it and at least 3 duplicate threads on this forum.
Reading some of these post which claim this stunt is immature yet offering up an even more immature vigilante fantasy as retribution is exposing hypocrisy at its finest.
Just for clarity sake, many of the Superchargers are not located in a "refueling island" but rather taking up what may have been traditional "parking spaces". To some, they see the loss of parking spots, often in choice locations.
By way of an example, our local supermarket came under fire for removing traditional customer parking spots and turning them into EV parking spots. Non EV drivers complained about the loss of their spots and the justification of providing refueling while shopping for EV owners but not the same for other fuel vehicles. After studying the complaints, management removed and relocated the EV charging station to spots that were back by the fueling island. EV owners could still park anywhere they wanted just like fossil fueled vehicles, but if they want to also refuel (recharge), they need to park where the fossil fuel vehicles refuel. Surprisingly, with the exception of a few EV owners, most understand and accept the rationale for the change.

It sets a precedent that we can forsee a world in the near future where specific parking spots are designated to every imaginable car company. Popular venues can auction off good parking spots to the highest bidding car manufacturer.
Putting a rock thru some glass can go a long way lol
