I have two Tesla wall chargers at home my Lightning has no issues. My Rivian first goes red on the initial handshake then cycles to blue. It’s the waking up of the vehicle that is the fault. No need to imply and plug back in.

I’m never going back to any type of ICE vehicle. I’ll probably buy an Denali EV or another Rivian.

Well I guess I’m buying the Sierra Denali EV next. I’m done with gas and never going back! I love my lightning. The range is tolerable but I really like GM’s charging speed.

The last thing I want to deal with is the complexity of the gas/hybrid system, the additional maintenance and costs of gas. Too many negatives. If or when I change vehicles it will be another all electric pickup or SUV.

I charge to 80% max then run it down to 40-50% before I charge again. Once every couple of months I charge to 100% to balance the cells.

We have it in Georgia!

I have three A2Z adapters for Tesla chargers to charge our J1772 cars. Awesome company. Go with those for sure. The adapter you need is called Th Atom. It ‘s J1772 to NACS.

It’s a special rate plan that actually penalizes your use during prime time periods if you charge. Here is the document. They have had rebates in the past for chargers. I got a Siemens charger for free back in 2012 and the a Tesla charger in 2021.

I’m in Georgia.I have Georgia Powers EV plan so super off peak is 2.1859 cents per kilowatt from 11 pm till 7 am.

My wife and son are both on my phone as a key. Whoever gets to the car first and opens it is who the truck sync’s to.

I call mine Baba Yaga.

Thank you it is the screw where the wheel wheel liner meets the fender on the front. It has a wide thread almost like a Sheetrock screw.

Does anyone know the type and size of the screws used to secure the wheel well liners. I added mud flaps and ended up losing one. I used to go to my local Ace Hardware but it’s been taken over by new owners who shrank the old school hardware section and made it a home goods section.

You need to do an energy audit of your home. Then you need to also see if there is any special rate plans for EV owners. I am on one in Georgia. I live in a home that has 4 EV's. 1 Rivian, 2 Mach E's and my Lightning. We have two Tesla wall chargers and charge between 11pm and 7 am.
