A woman parked her new Jeep in her assigned parking space at her building. Then the Tesla owner who parks in the space beside her confronted her for "riding the line" and threatened to report her to the homeowners’ association (HOA). Who’s in the wrong? Morgan Roos (@morganroos96) posted a video about her parking impasse. To start, she says, "I’m telling you it has to be a joke living here. I just got cussed out by the guy that parks next to me, right? Another Tesla owner." Since Roos purchased her Jeep a week earlier, she’d been parking in her assigned spot in her building’s parking garage. Her video clearly shows that her Jeep is well within the lines—though it is of course possible that she moved it. Either way, evidently, the way she was parking wasn’t acceptable to the person assigned to the spot directly next to hers. She says he yelled at her (accompanied by profanity): "You’re riding the line. I’m going to report you to the HOA." In her TikTok, Roos says, "I literally barked back, ‘Dude, I’m in my lines.’ He’s like, ‘Don’t talk back to me, little miss,’" Clearly incredulous, she adds, "Little miss, is this building a joke? I just got a car. What the [expletive]?" Is The Tesla Driver Out Of Line? In the video's comments, viewers weighed in on whether the woman or her Tesla-owning neighbor is in the wrong. "Him watching this from his Tesla POV," wrote one viewer, accompanied by a stock photo of a confused man in his 70s staring at a cell phone. A second person said, "Morgan, he’s parked half in someone else’s spot. Just call a tow truck." A third person said, "I work in insurance. It is always the Tesla owners that give me trouble." "‘Little miss’? To a six-foot-tall woman????" asked another person. Someone else agreed,, "‘Don’t talk back to me’ would’ve launched me into orbit." Others offered practical advice. "I think it’s time to move, sis," said one. "This place is so dramatic." Teslas: Do They Cause HOA Problems? Yes, insofar as they are unconventional cars that require electricity. HOAs have blocked owners from charging in their own garages. Citations have included homeowners being in violation of rules prohibiting from running cables along the ground. Charger installations can be complicated and require HOA approval too. Owners have also clashed with their HOAs over who pays for the electricity and installation. Can You Report A Neighbor For Parking Incorrectly? The specific rules vary by HOA, but most communities have parking rules that residents agree to abide by when they purchase the property. Those rules may include which vehicles you can park on the site, where you can park them, and how long they can stay. So it’s possible the neighbor could report Roos to the HOA, but he’d likely have to document the lane infraction and the HOA. If the HOA found the evidence compelling, it would likely have to send Roos a notice of violation before actually doing anything to her vehicle. And the HOA would have to respect any state or local laws regarding towing. Most experts advise neighbors to handle these disputes peacefully (i.e. without an angry confrontation laced with profanity) in order to avoid escalation. After all, it’s usually easier to talk it out than to let it get so heated that one or both parties ends up saying or doing something they regret. Motor1 contacted Roos via email for comment.
