So the deal with my charging situation at my condo is this:
Before I leased the car, my condo property manager said getting power at my spot wouldn't be a problem. After signing the lease, 5 electricians confirmed lack of electrical infrastructure to support an additional circuit. It wasn't my property manager's fault; she just wasn't aware of the requirements. A $100k infrastructure upgrade is needed and the HOA isn't willing to take the hit on the reserves. I've sent out homeowner surveys, looked for grants, called every California EV group possible, and even emailed Tesla, all to no avail.
@OilSucks - I'm tired of getting up at 4am to Supercharge for an hour before work twice a week. I'm tired of making trips to Los Angeles or Palm Springs, planning the entire trip around charging. I'm tired of waiting in lines at Superchargers only to wait another hour to charge. I'm tired of visiting friends out of town and having to ask to plug my car in at their house. If I could charge at home, I would probably feel differently. This has been a major lifestyle change and I'm absolutely sick of it, honestly. I paid my last 2 lease payments ($1600) early JUST to get rid of the damned thing and be done with it. I would rather burn $1600 than keep it another day.
I bought a hybrid Wednesday and
cannot WAIT to spend 3 minutes pumping gas to get 600 miles of driving.
Sure, it's going to be like driving a tampon compared to the Tesla but, I will gladly deal with it versus having to charge.
If Tesla works for you, I truly am happy for you. They
are extremely fun to drive and are sexy as hell! My experience just wasn't the best.
