Haha, wtf?? I think I’d be more than annoyed.

My brother has been charging outdoors with a mobile connector for 6 years with no problems. The body of the mobile connector is mounted to a post and completely exposed to the elements, and it’s plugged into an extension cord that is also completely exposed. No electrical or moisture issues...

JFC! 😲 Idk what crazier/stupider… cutting a cable that’s energized or cutting a cable connected to a car with a driver sitting inside it. 🤦‍♂️

Pretty sure that’s only for L2 chargers, not L3.

Who wants to volunteer and estimate how much money they’ll be able to get for the copper. Not it! 😏

The Treasury dept had simply delayed implementing some of the battery content restrictions until 2024 to give them and automakers time to work out all the details. It was unrelated to the aforementioned incremental increases in the minimum percentages of battery minerals/components from North...

Given the highly unusual traffic patterns on and around April 8th 2024 (the day of the eclipse) with people driving to/from the path of totality, I thought it would be valuable/interesting to create a thread for people to share their experiences, particularly any congestion (or lack thereof)...

Wow. The rebates are being awarded real slow. Only 306 in the past 3 weeks according to the figures on the website. Unless they pick up the pace significantly, it’ll take months before the rest get awarded.

I'm quite intrigued by how this all works with the adapter (although my understanding is certainly impeded by a lack of fully understanding how the existing CCS communication protocols work in practice. But with that said...) In the video that you linked here, the "Director of Charging...

V3 Superchargers have liquid cooled cables, so any extension cable would have to be extra thick and heavy to carry the same current without overheating. And I’m guessing it would also probably require temperature sensors at one or both ends to throttle the current in case of overheating at the...

That link isn't working for me. It got hyperlinked weird. This should work: https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&bounds=54.31521760104852,-58.133790250000004,21.940969366305985,-140.39941525&zoom=5&filters=supercharger,nacs,party

You also need to consider that due to charge port locations a Ford plugging in to a Supercharger will often block 2 stalls intead of just 1.

Sure. My point was just that as other OEMs get access to the Supercharger Network, there will be less reason to specifically buy a Tesla over one of those other OEMs specifically for DC charging.

The Supercharger Network + fast and reliable DC charging would've been another good choice in this poll. Although that unique benefit to Tesla will be significantly diminished over the coming years as other OEMs adopt NACS and get access to significant portions of the Supercharger Network.
