The case I got is called "Pitaka" and I got it on Amazon. It;s not cheap but it still looks great 8 month later, it's not going to offer the ultimate drop protection (won't save your phone when falling from the Eiffel Tower) but I've dropped it once or twice from waist level and it has been...

Wow first I’ve seen of those. I hope we get some in the Boston area some day.

I ultimately found an iPhone case I really like on my iPhone 15 Pro Max which actually works well with the inductive charger in my Model Y. Better than any other case and better than without a case. With this case I actually find that it can charge slowly when upright, faster when upside down...

I tired to argue to the board that for individual parking spaces we'd be ok with 1kW for charging for overnight (and multi day for people who work from home). We already have the infrastructure (120V AC outlets) and only need to run some conduits to some of the parking spaces and install a...

I see, so there are a few but not many by the sounds of it. So dual 40A systems both charging different cells simultaneously? Is that how it works?

For those of us who live in places without our won dedicated chargers, getting a large charge while on the go can be more common than you might think. The fact that there are cars hogging all the L2 chargers in town for 10 hours at a time is evidence that people need a lot of time to get the...

Why are there even 19.2 kW chargers on the market. I did a bit of googling but couldn’t find any cars that have 19.2 kW onboard chargers including the Cybertuck which has a huge battery.

Usually $0.30 per kWh around here. Occasionally free but extremely rare.

I’ve been working with my HOA to upgrade the 6 kW L2 chargers in the shared charging area of our garage with something faster. As with the shopping center example, its a not good that the average EV driver in my garage takes 10 hours to charge form 20 to 80 because it means people leave there...

I guess it depends on cost, right? If a split DC station costs $75k for 2 cables and requires a new transformer, and a 19 kW AC stations costs $20k for 2 cables, the AC station might be the one that gets built You’d also think the station operators would want stations faster than 6 kW because...

Sorry, I meant available. I thought it made sense in context…

In the city of Boston there are hundreds of public L2 chargers, however there are probably 5 in the entire city which are greater than 6 kW. I see the same trend for pretty much all of New England and New York and Ontario. There are Superchargers and other L3 chargers like Electrify America and...

Pretty sure that some updates push to your phone while others require you to check manually. It may be related to the priority of the update. Some updates Tesla wants everyone to have (recall for example which was a push), and others are less critical and Tesla might choose to save bandwidth and...

It’s interesting to know that the issue that I had could be resolvable by AC charging for a while then going back to a supercharger. That is exactly what I tried when I had my issue actually, not having known it was a fix but instead trying to prove it was not the supercharger causing the issue...

Another day another update! Today was a bit unusual, I got no push notification, my app showed no update and I checked 2 or 3 times throughout the day. Then at 2 pm I went out to do an errand and happened to remember that my "once per day" check via the car was available so I did it and sure...
