I got this car less than two months ago. It should be covered it is certainly not wear and tear.

I saw this today on the drivers seat. Seems the seam is ripping apart or what?

Maybe I am. This car is an investment for me I want to last a while (100k+ miles), which is why I am overthinking the degradation. Thanks for the response it makes it feel better about fast DC charging.

Even if its from 20-85/90? Also if I charge 15 minuets 2-3 times a week at EVgo is that ok? Lower KWh but more frequently? Is that ok for the battery’s health?

In specific regards to this response, is it okay to SC once a week or so? From what I am gathering it seems like most of the negative affects Tesla fixed and the studies aren’t including conditioned batteries likes Teslas. Because during the semester there is a supercharger on the way home

What gauge Thanks for the reply. I do also have an ICE which I plan on using more in the colder/winter months anyway. As for home charging I plan on doing it when I get home at night and removing it when I leave in the morning. The outlet I am going to be using is an outdoor receptacle which I...

Hello! Would this require new wire or just a new breaker and receptacle?

Bad news is that I just identified the breaker that the outlet is on and its 15 amps.

So it is possible that there is a 5-15 receptacle on a 5-20 line?

Is it possible a 20amp outlet does not have the T cross?

Gotcha. I will have to check to see if the breaker for the outlet I am using is a 20 amp. In terms of draw, it should be the only thing. But as for safety if for SOME reason there is something else high draw, the breaker would pop correct?

Just by a quick search online to identify a 20amp breaker, it appears that if the breaker has a “20” on it then its a 20 amp? Because the breaker says 20 does that mean the outlet is 20 too? My breaker box has quite a few of these 20 breakers

Thanks for the response. What would you consider very cold weather?

I think the home was built in the 70s. Do most homes already have 12ga wiring? How do you check for that? How much did it cost for your mothers upgrade? With the upgrade, how many miles/hr does it charge?

My 120 V is in a home so im assuming 15 Amp. As for the super charger there are but I heard frequent use would kill your battery with degradation. That is what I am more concerned about truly is if the 50kw chargers by my home are going to really have a impact on battery degradation due to...
