    I'm unable to verify visually but I believe the meter should be set now, can anyone in the area confirm?

    2020.4.1 incoming

    +1 to the ping-pong issue. HW2.5 here, though it seems like HW3 isn't affected? It appears the lane centering control system is underdamped as the car not only often takes a up to 5 seconds of ping ponging to "find" the center of the lane but also overshoots and crosses lane lines when making...

    Wifi HPWC & its application as a Distributed Energy Resource (DER)

    My guess would be the potential security/privacy issues of automakers opening up their customer's cars to utilities (& potentially unwanted others). With a direct connection to the charger itself, utilities will not need access to anything related to the vehicle. If the connection gets...

    Wifi HPWC & its application as a Distributed Energy Resource (DER)

Distributed Energy Resources are the hot topic in the industry as regulatory agencies are pressuring utilities to explore non-wires alternatives when...

    Supercharger - Swartz Creek, MI

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    I'm at 260 Wh/mi with my 2018 S75D @ 32,400 miles. I drive it in the cold but not in the salt. I do some spirited driving on occasion and I go on a lot of road trips but I guess what helps the most is that my default driving style is sunday grandma - ha.

    Supercharger - Swartz Creek, MI

    About 5 guys were still working on the wiring and stuff today It would definitely be awesome to have V3 here, but the infrastructure installed by the utility was sized for a V2 station and I haven't seen a new load request come through for this site unfortunately... Unless they're planning on...

    Supercharger - Swartz Creek, MI

    A bunch of guys were still working on the wiring in and around the switchgear cabinets today. Wondering what they're doing with the extra red inner plastic parts for the pedestals.
