This might be the route I want to take; it solves the issue of not needing additional adapters or cables with mismatched ends.

Going this route; should I upgrade to the Generac 9854 (with 50A wiring and inlet)? Thinking about future-proofing for a life after the Lightning, and want to avoid doing things twice.

Still available!

When I installed my EVSE, I had to do a map drawing. I got out the ol' trusty, dusty tape measure, did an exterior wall mapping of the home, and drew it out in Draw.io. My city also has a portal for permits, where you submit your permit, but also look up permits for work performed. But that...

California here; I had to ask my dealer to not install the plate bracket, but the dealer made me sign something that said "if you get ticketed, it's on you, not us". California also has a sticker plate option for the front plate. It costs about the same as a plate mount, and doesn't look half...

It is! PN NL38-10C823-AC (Edit: update with today's date. Winter vacation has me off by a day 🤣)

Tri-Valley/Livermore

New Ford Charge Station Pro (FCSP) available in the SF Bay Area. Received in April, opened today (already have a charging setup so I have no need for this). Willing to travel (located in East Bay, but can meet up in agreed upon location). $400 OBO.

I noticed Google Maps (on Android Auto) has a feature where it will estimate your charge at your destination. Also, key advice: have a co-pilot who is familiar with the apps/tech, so the passenger can adjust while you are driving.

Rough guess is that the outlet is 220V/30A, which gets a Tesla Model 3 LR in that ballpark. 30A x 220V = 6600 W (6.6 kW) Model 3 LR battery capacity: 82 kWh 6.6 kW/82 kWh = 0.0805/h = 8.05% battery capacity added per hour Model 3 LR range = 341 miles (note: driving efficiency of ~4.1 mi/kWh)...

Simple solution- they'll charge off Pro Power from any Lightning at Tesla Superchargers- An $80k adapter!

Big winner here is Hyundai/Kia, as it reduces the likelihood of finding a Bolt tying up a 350 kW EA Charger.

You could try getting the GT springs, which help with the pogoing effect. I had a GT and didn't have any issues with the suspension pogoing. Now as far as travel, it was good, but not great for the MME GT. It fell short of a Macan or x40i at the same price point. It took me a while to...

I did this with ZWave; the Android app is projected on the screen and able to open/close the garage. Chamberlain does have an app for their garage doors (myQ)

I know you jest, but in most (if not all) Lemon Law states, that is exactly what happens. What you are offered is a Ford Buyback, which gets you the pretty bog-standard return a Lemon Law lawyer would net you, but not having to shell out extra for lawyer's fees. The only reason to enlist a...

Ladder Rack?

Anyone get their A2Z Adapters shipped? I've been waiting over a month, and at this rate my Ford adapter is scheduled to arrive before the A2Z one. Their shipping announcements are confusing as well, as it implied all adapters ordered ship within a week ("Free Shipping - Orders will start...

I'd be happy with two things: 1. EA (and every DCFC) provide the rates as advertised. Put a big f'n banner like we do for gas prices, to show station wait times like you do at the butcher, and show the average charge rate. Let them all know their 150kW charger is really outputting 66 kW. 2...

This article is stupid, and emboldens folks to attack those of us who have a legitimate need to charge to a higher percentage. To wit, if you are an EA subscriber leaving L.A., and traveling I5, you are putting a lot of trust in the EA service in Bakersfield being operational; if not, you are...
