I’m an M3 res holder. The other day, following a major power outage in our state, my neighbor, an engineer, told me that when I get the Tesla, it can "power the house" during outages. Is this true? Is a Tesla a PowerWall on wheels? I’m sure it’s not that simple. Has anyone used an EV to power...

Why do people do this? I think they are just as bad as ICE drivers parking in EV spaces.
I see it happen a lot in Austin TX (just moved here) where the EV parking and etiquette aren’t as good as California.
I guess it will get better over time.
Véhicules Électriques Simon André (VÉSA) is an independent EV buyer/seller in Trois-Rivières. They have already a couple of Toyota RAV4 EVs which Toyota doesn't sell in Canada. If you want an EV that is only sold in the U.S., Simon André is a good choice.

best members,
For school I do a project and I want to tune a car with the OVMS v2.
Unfortunately, the OVMS v2 is no longer available, so I'm looking for someone who has 1.
Is there anybody who wants to sell him? or would like to loan for money so I can do my project.
Kind regards,
Dylan
It just dawned on me that in the future, when I'm making weekly drives 5 hours in both directions, I'll be at the supercharger just long enough to go for a jog. What a great way to break up a long trip! If it were a gas pump, no one would even consider it. But while juicing up the battery, I...
