Man Who Licked Electric Vehicle Charger Finally Regains Consciousness

A 39-year old Midkiff Springs man who licked the end of a Tesla Supercharger cord to see if it was working has finally regained consciousness nearly a year and a half after the incident.  

Doctor Button Wykopf said the unidentified Model 3 owner doesn’t remember much, other than “a big flash of blue light and the intense smell of burning hair.”  

“He’s dizzy and his tongue sticks to the roof of his mouth whenever he says the letter “L”, but otherwise he’s doing pretty well,” said Wykopf.

Asked to comment, Tesla spokesperson Gordo Utz said simply, “Don’t lick the charger.”
