    Tesla $7500 Tax Credit Coming Back?

    This bill actually sounds like it makes a lot of sense (mostly)... good incentives to push the right things... not (overly) "subsidizing the rich" or pandering to unions... So, "North America" means Canada and Mexico too? Guessing that's the concession to Ford's Mach-E being assembled in...

    Tesla $7500 Tax Credit Coming Back?

    So, no M3LR (57,990) or M3P (62,990)... and what's the official definition of an SUV? Is the Y "officially" an SUV? (I've heard is referred to as a "Crossover") ...Tesla mostly (or totally if Y is not "officially" an SUV) left out again...

    Tesla Charging in NYC

    There's a Revel Superhub in Brooklyn Revel - Fast charging stations. No parking fees, just pay for electricity. Not sure what fees are but this article from last year said $0.39/kWh Revel opens EV charging Superhub in Brooklyn after being blocked to operate in New York City. They provide chademo...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    After charging is complete, unlock the charge port either from the car or the app, unplug the whole adapter with the CCS handle from the car, then you can separate the handle from the adapter by first pressing the button on the CCS handle. The fit is very snug with the couple of CCS chargers...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    The adapter is locked into the vehicle when charging and also when car is locked, just like the J1772 adapter. And when you plug the CCS adapter into the vehicle, the little metal pin actually pushes in and locks the CCS handle into the adapter, preventing you from pressing the release button on...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    Ebay appears to be flooded with CCS1 adapters now... "down" to around $459 incl. shipping. Poor sods who paid up to $1k just a few weeks ago!:oops: And Tesla appears to have the CCS adapter in NA issue solved with zero effort... what do they care... the adapters ultimately are sold by them so...

    Frequent 50kW fast charging vs 150/250kW

    I understand that you do not want to use the SC (150/250) as your primary method of charging as that causes more/faster battery degradation. But what about 50kW (e.g. EVGo)? Is that less bad, or just as bad on the battery? Does the stress on the battery increase with charging speed, or is DC...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    see this post from Harumio's now closed account: CCS Adapter for North America It appears that you can order multiple units under 1 account, and maybe they've found someone to "collaborate" with them in return for some "profit sharing/commission". I wonder how long before T gets wind and shuts...

    LA -> Vegas roadtrip?

    Has anyone done a LA-Vegas trip in the height of summer and have experience to share? I'm planning a trip in July and was wondering how the car will behave in the intense desert heat... range hits, AC performance, any SC to avoid or favor, etc. I'm guessing a roof shade will be handy... anyone...

    CCS Adapter - ?

    The $60-70 is totally fair and even quite cheap IMO. The J1172 adapter is about the equiv of $48 on the KR site, and $50 on the US site. So, it might be a good assumption that when the CCS adapter is avail here, it'd be around the same of ~$240, but then we'd have to add sales tax... which will...
