New road trip video ⚡☀️🪫🔋 With a @tesla Model Y + @Ford Lightning my peak rates expanded 3pm–midnight at $0.60/kWh. One Powerwall isn’t cutting it so I drove 2+ hours to pick up another and stopped at Supercharger #50,000! Join me for the full adventure! 👇

We finally got Ionna charging in the Bay Area and it’s perfect for an EV San Quentin escape 😆 I brought my Lightning as part of the Bay Area Lightning Club and NorCal EVs and joined the Bay Area Rivian Club for a fun morning at this great location in Larkspur! Check out the full tour and video...

I noticed that too. They are really trying to cut costs on this EV 😆

What part of “based on” was confusing? I took their images, including the ones from their windtunnels and sketches and combined them into one to make a thumbnail of a truck that doesn’t exist for which they did not provide an image yet. Why are you so emotional about this? Feel free to send me...

It’s not fan art it’s based on the images Ford themselves supplied during their presentation, and I had to make a thumbnail out of something so I based it on that.

Ford’s upcoming EV isn’t a Lightning replacement and isn’t chasing Tesla, it’s chasing new volume. LFP + 48V + a compact electric truck could be the most important move Ford has made in years. I break down why this strategy is smarter than people think and where I’m concerned 👇

Closing the loop those who’ve been following along on my earlier posts about my Tesla charger issue and the Hubbell outlet failure. They reached out and I’ll be sending it them to figure out what happened. Maybe we can get them on the Turn Down For Watt Podcast! I set out to test a new EV...

Keep us updated idk how they will figure out what happened with such a crazy fire. Never seen anything like it. Scary and glad no one was hurt.

Just spontaneously no previous issues warnings, not charging, didn’t hit anything?

Yeah I think I’m going to send it to Martin Meek who I do our podcast with he wanted to tear it down and check it out. He does Martin Rebuilds and is an engineer so it will be interesting to let him take a look

I can’t really put both the probe and plug in at the same time I don’t think it would be in the way.

I might open up the outlet and see what is going on inside. I’m not too sure internally what happens when the plug is pushed in to the outlet if anything is damaged internally or being separated but the way it works when unplugged again just seems so odd like it springs back and makes the...

Here is a follow up testing the Hubbell outlet check out how strange this failure was 👀 I’ve Never Seen a Hubbell NEMA 14-50 Fail Like This!

I’m going to take some meter readings tomorrow and see what I get. I’m at work now but I’ve had some folks curious about that so I’ll see if anything stands out.

Definitely never checked the torque of the lugs 😬
