For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

While EVs won't allow starting the car whilst charging, they will allow the charger to be open, and the cable is likely a dummy so wouldn't be registered as "plugged in". Thus allowing this joke outfit to drive around like this.

Teslas can detect a plug that's not connected to anything.

I own a Tesla, and I also own a broken charger. I assure you it won't let this happen

Just went out to mine, plugged a cable in with nothing on the other end. Could pull off fine

I went out to mine and realized I don't own one so I have nothing to add to this conversation.
