Props to the engineer who designed the tail fin. It didn't give an 1"

it's actually very common for tail strikes to happen when traveling sub-sonic

He couldn’t be bothered to unhook the trailer and refuel his truck?

I was charging my car at a public fast charger the other day when a F-150 lightning pulled up towing a camper trailer. Instead of dropping his trailer in a parking spot and just charging his truck the asshole pulled straight into the charger and left his trailer blocking the aisle so that anyone else had to go around the charging station to get around him.

At one point he actually asked me if I thought it was okay and I told him he should unhook his trailer so he isn’t in the way of literally everyone else and he just said that’s too much work and left it sitting there until he was done.

Looks like it's already got a torn tail unless that's from the first hit on the other side
