    Tesla price cuts' impact on insurance rates

    I have AmFam Costco Connect and although it's the cheapest I can find, I've been dreading my renewal with the horror show that is insurance here in California, in Florida, and I'm sure, other states too. Obviously they're no longer offering policies in CA and FL but I've kept it and had no...

    California holiday road trip (Modesto-Sac-LA-Tijuana)

These are the temps after about 5 hours of 48 A charging inside a garage with ambient temps in the 80s. Take a look.

    So I had a delivery date set for yesterday and had provided my payment info uploaded to Plaid since I'm paying cash.

    So there must be a perfectly good explanation for this map above or may just be a typo. if not a typo then did they slip another one under us?? Edit: never mind. It looks like ABRP is listing all future locations as currently open superchargers.

    I figured I might as well start a thread on this one. I realize these "coming soon" locations are more aspirational than anything but boy would this one really fit the bill for all the Yosemite travelers, especially in the winter time when there can a bit more range anxiety than other times...

    So yesterday I went to the urban supercharger in Buena Park, CA which is inside a public parking garage. They were fairly busy and I saw a spot available and the adjacent spot ICEd. Not only was the spot ICEd but they happened to be well into the spot that was open and that I would pull into...
