    VolvoXC90 T8

    My mother in law is ready to drop MSRP on 1 of these “electric” vehicles. I don’t know sh#t about them. Does anyone have any experience I can share with her to either make the correct decision or avoid problems.

    Why Do Electricians Charge So Much To Install EV Outlets?

    120 isn’t all that less dangerous than 240. 120 is way more likely to “grab” and hold on longer. If you aren’t comfortable with 240, don’t think 120 is safer. OP. If you’re only going a couple feet, if you have 2 open breakers then this completely doable. There are many Youtube videos to walk...

    Anything I'll miss upgrading to "just" a M3 SR+ from Audi A4?

    Probably been said here but.....you won’t miss gas stations, but make sure you have your charging figured out, You won’t get 300+mile range. Trickle charging is almost hopelessly inadequate. Make sure you have a way to guarantee quick and efficient charging. Otherwise, I traded a 540 for this M3...

    I absolutely Love driving my Tesla

    Love my car, got talked into a stealth performance by the dealer (if they are even dealerships). So glad he did, i don’t usually go fast, love the 30-70 acceleration getting into highways. Only had one person want to challenge in a Nissan GT-R, red light to red light maybe 1/8 mile slightly...

    Tesla Garage Door Opener

    Bought a myQ system, app on the phone plus hardware. Not expensive at all and allows for remote monitoring and control over your doors. You can share the control over multiple users. Super easy to install.

    3 weeks, less than 900 miles, being towed to Service Center

    No real insight here I’m <7 days <200 miles. but i feel fornyou, the money and excitement in getting this car would make the disappointment so much worse. Keep us informed, I’d like to think Tesla is going to take care of this fairly and quickly.

    Charger options

    Not so much a question but a fortunate turn of events. The building complex my business is located had massive fire damage. As in my entire office is down to the studs, insurance is 800K into this. Anyway, asked the landlord if it would be possible to put 220V line in the exterior wall to...

Nothing....then remembered i had opened front trunk and my daughter closed it, all seemed normal but...

    Short Commute - Trickle Charging OK?

    Thanks for all the useful information. I was hesitant to move forward with the 3 based on limited charging capabilities. My commute is short and I live 5 minutes from a supercharger. I take delivery Nov 5 and absolutely cant wait.
