    Wiki Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates

    L3 in the CCS world charging rate is 30-360kw L3 in the Tesla Supercharging world charging rate is 100-250 (waiting on V4 front and back ends for 350+ kw) You have to appreciate TSC, but have to work on the gaps, get those CCS converted to NACS

    Need a new tire on 2024 M3LR already - okay to get just one Michelin Primacy MXM4?

    You did not state rhe 32nds of tread left If you go new, do at least two matching on same front or back but the old ones that will stay need to be high 32nds of tread If you go used, easily found online, same do pair, and go for used tread depth as close to what’s staying on the car

    Model Y Competitor Coming - Volvo EX30 0-60 in 3.4 Sec, Starts at $35K

    I have a relative that works at a Volvo dealership and they are definitely NOT building an EV culture amongst the staff. Think this 1/2 hearted approach on the street, live with customers will not help Volvo Cars (China) win big with EVs. Funny, across the street a Vinfast dealer is opening...

    again i understand, but most in the USA like to have some control over our destiny, any opt in for a minor cost benefit to the owner, is a huge benefit to the grid management, but we loose control feel the deck is stacked against those that opt in, we get little benefit I like the utility...

    My local utility, like most in the USA, are subsidizing way overpriced less functional, non Tesla integrated WCs as a fakeout to then become big brother, like the thermostat offers by them, as to cut the EV charging off during a brownout I get the reason, but don’t want big brother preventing me...

    But don’t forget, as Elon said, 4680s will be cost competitive by years end Is that vs LFP? If that’s the case, which I don’t think that is true, it would be a major industry disruption. Think the plan is 4680 vs 2170/NCM cost competitive Side note, hope Andrew Bs plan for gen 3, 3a, and...
