    Ohlins DFV Coilover Kit Installed!!

    It doesn't matter how good the damping is if they didn't get the spring rates right. So it's interesting that their website gives all the attention to Ohlins and neglects the Swift springs. Based on the OP driver feedback, it sounds as if they did a good job.

    I drive past twice daily and nearly always check how many and what kind of Teslas. Awesome addition the the Panama City Beach area.

    Gov. DeSantis Announces 74 New Superchargers Along the Turnpike

    Thanks for the heads up about the planned Gainesville and Crawfordsville chargers. The latter is in the panhandle. Regarding the VW settlement, I don’t understand the comment about the turnpike. The map shows chargers far north of the turnpike. The settlement funds were to benefit the State...

    Gov. DeSantis Announces 74 New Superchargers Along the Turnpike

    We got burned with one of those VW cheater diesels, and there are zero chargers shown for Northwest Florida. In my town, we can get 500,000 tourists during peak season. Major interstate, rest areas, communities recovering from Hurricane Michael. Guess the votes aren’t needed here.

    Daily / Frequent Supercharging

    I actually appreciated the question posed to me about my personal use of the PCB supercharger and battery degradation, as it ultimately served to inform my use of this supercharger, since I live and work here and pass it twice daily. No problem with moving the posts, but I wanted to say that I...

    Thanks for the data. I read the Electrek article and the first few pages of the Science Direct article (I have access to the full text). I appreciate the caution and follow-up info, which will inform my charging practice. My takeaways are that 1) Li-Ion batteries can suffer degradation with...

    Supercharger - Panama City Beach, FL

    I’ve seen one location where the chargers were split into two groups on different sides of the building. So that’s another possibility. I wonder if these will be the latest advanced chargers (forget the terminology) for the most rapid charging.

    Supercharger - Panama City Beach, FL

    Woo hoo! I e-mailed Busy Bee in September of last year (2019) and asked about Tesla Superchargers at PCB. They were very congenial but coy about it. I’m still skeptical, since it’s PCB. But this would be very exciting, because I test drove a Model Y today in Sandestin. And these PCB...
