I thought most auto assembly lines were 24/5 or 24/6, not 24/7. The extra days are for maintenance and repairs.

I am very happy charging my Tesla X at home at 17kw. Wish I could do it on the road more. Many destination chargers, especially at parks, are 19kw.

Thank you

About half dozen of nut covers have disappeared. Various Amazon ads mention different sizes and colors. Some say 3, Y, and S, but don’t mention X. Aren’t all Tesla lug nut covers the same? I have a 2018 X on stock 20” wheels. I also have the 19” snow tires.

Everybody had different lives. I have FUSC and about 1/3 of my kWh are from SC. I road trip a lot. I also have good charging at home. I estimate I’ve used about $10,000 of SC.

Many ICE manufacturers are failing to sell EVs. They are coasting on their history, and not advancing. There used to be a lot of horse carriage makers, … until there weren’t.

I think the biggest problem ICE manufacturers have is their dealer model. The dealer can’t sell EVs (too complicated to explain) and dealerships are likely to earn less on-going revenue from EVs. Dealerships have benefited from outrageous manufacturer marketing budgets (GM spent $1,400 per car...

But does it actually save more than a minute or two? Does anyone know if the 150 kw line would extend horizontally to 60% before declining if not charged at 240 kw+ for a few minutes? 22 kw @249 kw takes about 5.3 min. 22 kw @ 150 is about 8.8 min. Time savings delta 3.3 minutes. And if you are...

Ok , I thought he meant 320 and 322 were scandously far apart. My dumb-dumb.

In the real road does 250 kw charging make a meaningful difference over 150 kw? For a typical charge, saves maybe a minute or two? It sounds like people claiming the 0-60 times impact the length of their daily commute. Does 0-60 sub 5 seconds get you there regularly faster than 7 seconds...

Dividing 256 by 80% gets 320 miles vs 322. I don’t understand your comment.

I charged yesterday at Rockland. I looked carefully for any sort of distinctive signage for the NEVI posts. Nothing visible.

No. But somebody who lives Florida will jump in real soon and say “Yes you can! Don’t listen to the naysayers.”

Isn’t Rockland 250 kw, so the 150kw spec irrelevant? Also the transformer says 1000kva.

I wasn’t aware of any differentiation, except one was a more spacious handicapped space. They all appeared casually to have magic docks and not have different signage. I will drop by end of next week.
