There are several listed as planned along the #1. Was this permit ever confirmed as existing?

With the Winnipeg & Brandon SC moving ahead it would make more sense for a SC somewhere in the Moosimin region first. No islands. Link from the West to follow. Maybe via MHat as per current projections map, although I still think via Saskatoon makes better sense.

Because the situation with CCS was and is very different in Europe. It is even a different adaptor. This has been covered in this thread already. Repeatedly.

Look, I understand it is hard taking the news that your pet desire is niche, at best. That it doesn't make a lot of sense to have it high priority when you look at effort vs benefit in the larger picture. I've been there, not a happy place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I'm a troll because people can't bring...

It means it is entirely rational for Tesla to make it low priority because it is a low use case because some anecdotal of people here don't stand up to reality of actual use out in the wild. EDIT: On top of the cost, because "profit margin" if you're looking at that requires accounting for...

If wipers that reliably work in rain were something approaching niche and we about vaguely irrational "feels good but sure it makes no money sense", you'd have a valid comparison. But they aren't and so you don't.

No issue yet with the 14 & 12 year-old on a few hours trips. I've not done longer than w/more than two people but space wasn't an issue at all. The 14 y-o is still in "beanpole" mode but is nearly as tall as me. We've even had three in the back for an hour+, including the 16 y-o that doesn't...

Then Tesla should definitely drop other items on the To Do list to pour resources into rushing the item through design, sourcing, and regression testing of hardware and software for the sub-%1 of customers that would buy it? For a standard that they don't control that is still finding its feet...

To which I responded pointed out an issue (and you even talked about rotating the connector? BWHAAHAH). Which is a lot different dimensions. Because CCS plugs are both monstrosities (Type 1 arguably worse because it's got the same issue as G/T, a external latch). It is sorta the bottom "ball...

And you don't grasp how in the minority you are? How niche that is, and so rightly down the priority list of To Do things? Where there are a quickly increasing number of other options of native charging?

Once upon a time there were cars that came with two different keys, one for the car and the other for the door which allowed you to do that dance with one set of keys. Either take one off the key ring while doing it, or I had a key ring that was actually 2 rings with a quick-connect between...

Tesla DCs are about as close to CHAdeMO as the later is to Supercharging, even though one's AC and the other DC, and they are flooding that "I'm out locally" use case where the Urban SC aren't in yet. I talked last weekend to someone that drives very widely, top 10 in unique SC locations. He...

Yeah, I missed the "not CCS" at the end. I tripped myself up on expecting something relevant to the discussion about CCS. :rolleyes:

That's missing the CCS portion, it's only the A/C portion of Type 2. Right?

Good god man, look at where the latch at the top of the connector comes to. :eek: Yeah "lack of taste and lack of foresight" and "quite content to scare the sugar out of potential BEV consumers so they'll stick with ICE vehicles" would count as "reasons" I suppose. :p
