Guys, I appreciate the feedback but I think most people haven't actually spent much time looking at this. We're not talking milliamps, we're talking like 300w for 5 hours brought it down like 8%. I'm also finding I'm not alone having had others echo the observation on both here and Reddit...

This is not my observation. I was putting at 300 watt load to it and it was dropping the same as when I had a 15,000 BTU A/C drawing consistently over 1500 watts.

I don't have a lot of electron knowledge, just enough to get me in trouble. I'm going to make a few statements that I'm looking for you electricians/engineers/smart people to correct if I'm wrong. Then my questions, thanks in advance! AC circuits always have current being supplied and when...

I'm personally having solar installed in the near future but I'm having a generator transfer switch put in for now. Ultimately the solar ecosystem I'm buying into (Enphase) is developing its own bidirectional charging system and I anticipate that being a bit more OEM-agnostic and I also have...

I like the grill mod. I'd probably love it without the logo. I volunteer in disaster relief, so familiarity with interstate rules is a thing for me and most states allow blue. This is from ChatGPT so check to be sure, but generally speaking blue is allowed for volunteers who are "official."...

Very difficult to beat dealer trades in states that offset sales tax. You expose yourself up to countless scams and wind up maybe eeking out $1-2k max than what you would have gotten at the dealer. Here in Long Island, NY, it's just not worth it. Exceptions are if you're selling a "collector's...

Exactly. Lock up and go do good elsewhere.

We're not assuming. Tesla literally fired every single person on the Supercharging team. That's the only part of the story we know. As for "mystery third party" who cares? Could even be Lectron or A2Z at this point, there aren't too many people out there who want to gear up to produce these...

We don't know what we don't know. I can prop up a hypothetical but my point would be is we don't know what we don't know. I'll do it partially: In my head they're likely getting a bare bones Tesla team, likely even a single person or two feeding them erroneous information. "We'll scale as...

Well I agree Ford is pissing people off. That's why they'll likely find a supplier to make adapters and "break the agreement" in the long run. I don't think they know how this will go down. I'm telling you this is a really tough spot. It also has the CEO's attention since Farley has been out...

That's a very good observation and one made myself. My working theory (need to confirm this) is that it's energizing each circuit in perpetuity at the current stated because that's kind of how AC power works on some level. You make the power available on the circuit to use and you can choose to...

Honestly while it may sound unbelievable, Ford doesn't have answers to provide and they don't want to throw a supplier under the bus they need to work with moving forward. That's my honest answer. I've been in these decisions before. I mean, nothing like this, this is batshit if you want my...

I understand their situation, to be honest. You have a supplier agreement that you have to honor your end of the bargain on. You also have an item that has to undergo qualification for certifications. You have two "lowish" volume vendors out there making the item without certification. The...

Hey everyone. Don't want to leave you hanging. I'm waiting to post a video/call to action for next time until we have everything hammered out. I was working on something just now to convey a concept to provide power to facilities. Figured I could share this while I'm working out the details of...

I can say now that we’ve met and are all getting along very well (these guys rock) that I’m working with Cajun Navy Relief. This has legs guys we have good footage and pics to pull together into a call of action. Still trying to figure the best play, Lightning focus? Lightning and PowerBoost...

Looks like we're going to deploy 1 truck for now as a pilot potentially with an organization I've been talking with. Will fill in details once it's all final. I'm planning to go down there and make use of the truck however they can use it and make the actual goal to collect media so we can rally...

Contact has been made with a few organizations currently operating in Houston, if you can volunteer your time and vehicle on short notice, please let me know!

If there's one thing my experience has taught me it's that my experience means jack. Every disaster and even every hurricane brings with it different challenges. That being said, if you're traveling with rescue workers, they tend to make ways. You need to make yourself "special" which isn't a...

Hi all - We're looking for a preliminary show of hands. A few of us "organizers" are trying to get a sense of who may be willing to help out with disaster relief in the continental US. Ultimately our "hook" is going to be exportable power. The loose idea is going to be as we scale...

Understand this, but I work in specifically PR and operate in automotive among other sectors like say, sportswear. All of this is highly choreographed. My observation over the past decade has been as we transition into the "YouTube era" it's become perfectly acceptable to "release" stuff without...
