It's great for parking in cramped spaces, at least at home (where you won't get yelled at in a public parking lot). I use it daily so that I can get out of my car before parking it in my carport next to my neighbor's giant SUV.

I could see it useful to have “Tesla” parking spots that are 10% narrower to improve space utilization.

Yes, humiliating other people is hilarious...

I assure you it wasn't nearly as big of an obstacle to the guy writing the ticket as you think it would be. Humans are very good at improvising when a new situation is thrown their way.

I assure you, bothering someone like this when they are trying to get through their day is not hilarious to that person. Not only did your friend act like an ass and part illegally or over the time limit, but they then risked possibly running over a person's foot or something while fucking around.
It's particularly hilarious when you and several buddies are watching the meter maid try to put a ticket on it. It's probably occasionally useful for adjusting a car in the driveway but yeah, it's 99% party trick.
It could theoretically be useful for attaching a trailer but most Tesla owners aren't doing that and the collision detection system will probably go crazy and prevent you from getting close enough to the trailer to actually couple it to the car.
