If you have full coverage, I'd call the insurance company. Even with a high deductible, insurance will probably be liable for some of the bill.

Yeah, but check out that ? 'catalytic converter'.... :)

What is your opinion of the noise level when it's working hard and you're in traffic or sitting still?

Simple answer that it is achieved using the EPA testing protocol. You achieve it when you drive in mixed driving and realize 2.44 mi/kWh of consumption. It's not easy, almost impossible to do driving at high speeds. Pay attention to consumption, not the GOM. If you don't need to regularly...

Enjoy your virginity! ;) Until this feature pisses you off and/or ruins your day with sudden unintended braking in traffic or unintended acceleration from a 30 mph sign recognized as 80 mph, I have a suggestion that works well when OPD is off. Rest your left thumb on or near the CANCEL/RESUME...

Sorry, no, I use a Chargepoint Home Flex. I've been interested in the Juicebox saga because Chargepoint is struggling, too. The links are from another EV forum.

You may want to check this. My Lariat ER shut down power to the 12V Power Port on the passenger side of the dash 30 minutes after the truck shut down. I really liked these Jebsens. But, the one with with USB-C was replaced twice by the company before I gave up on it. The twin USB-A is still...

Don't forget Tesla Magic Dock Superchargers that are along the way that have built-in CCS adapters. The key tab for finding them on the Tesla Supercharger finder web site is "Superchargers Open To Other EVs"...

Not really something to make light of.

I bought one of these NEMA L14-30P to NEMA 5-20R (x4) adapters, similar to the Champion 2x above: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ND14VZF And, an L14-30 extension. One extension gets the multiple 120V receptacles into the house: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0881CDKH5

Third line from bottom of ad.

Unless you mount a GoPro, you're not likely to ever see them closed. They default open on the Lightning as a fail-safe. They close to improve aero above 40 mph. AFAIK, Lightning does not go through a test sequence when starting as this YouTuber refers to in a 2015 ICE F150.
