If this store owner is served by Duke Energy, it’s likely that these chargers and the electrical work was heavily subsidized by Duke. Duke electric charger program

For the naysayers in this thread, I suggest watching Omar’s video with AI Driver. I stopped paying attention to Omar’s videos awhile back as he seemed overly optimistic (to put it kindly). AI Driver is much more balanced and has historically called out FSD when it fails. There are takeovers...

Drove by this afternoon and it’s nearly reassembled. I looked for any changes, but everything looks to me like it did when it was completed originally. Hopefully will be back online soon.

Thanks much for the quick reply. Great to know about the wire length requirements and the torque specs. l’ve no proper gauge wire, Polaris connectors or drivers capable of applying proper torque inch lbs (learned something new today). Looks like a call to my local electrician is in order. My...

As the title explains, I’m thinking about converting my NEMA 14-50 socket that I‘ve been using with the mobile connector for the last 5 years to a Tesla Universal Connector. The hard part was done 5 years ago with the conduit/wire run and breaker work. Seems like the work needed would be...

For anyone with Spotify Premium, the audiobook of Isaacson’s Elon Musk biography is available for free with the service.

PSA for everyone that will have to fight Tesla FUD from friends and family over the holidays. As of today, approximately 70% of Tesla vehicles impacted by the NHTSA Autopilot recall have been remediated (1,400,000 vehicles), all without a visit to a dealership. This was accomplished in the 11...

Looks like it.

Wow, quick work in the last few days. Good news is it looks like the transformer is in place so these may come online soon.

If you take Elon at his word, two orders of magnitude reduced from a starting point of ~300,000 lines of code is about 3,000 lines of code (300,000 / 10 / 10). The LLM’s like ChatGPT have a very small chunk of control code, the bulk of the size of the entire package is the parameters. It will...

Good progress after approximately 1 month. Looks like the plan changed as stalls will be v3, not v4.

No one is buying EV’s from the big 3 as they have Osborned themselves with the publicity around moving to NACS. Word has gotten out on just how dismal the non-NACS DC fast charging infrastructure is in the US. Very few people are willing to spend $$ on a car that they can’t reliably drive more...

I thought the one in Alabaster, AL was just using the Lowe’s address as a place holder and Tesla would build across the road as there is a large grassy section that would work well. You can get to food establishments from the Lowe’s parking lot, but can be a bit of a hike.

The quoted cost of the cheapest Corolla LE model with no options on the Toyota website is $21,900 but you will be very hard pressed to find one at that price at your local dealer. $24,500 was the lowest optioned price I saw online and even then you still have the fight with the dealer regarding...

Drove by this morning, no sign of equipment or construction.
