I have another trip to Colorado planned for next weekend. I had given up hope that I would I would receive the adapter in time but you guys are making me believe there’s an outside chance. Then again I’m suspicious that you all have concocted a cruel, belated April Fools joke.

I wear suspenders and they really scuff up leather seats. I did extensive research on seat covers before I took possession of my Lightning to try to protect the seats from my suspenders. I finally gave up on seat covers and went with side clip instead of back clip suspenders so I could still...

HSW and light bar installed yesterday.

Just a few observations about the reservation numbers; Tesla/Ford will be shipping out about 8 to 10k adapters a month. April only has 1300 reservations so either the ramp up in April is going to be very slow or shipping won’t start until the last week of April. If all these free adopters for...

CCS1 extension cables are already available for pre-order but they are not cheap.

There are three V3 Superchargers at the Trinidad, Colorado location that don’t show as available to non-Tesla EVs. I found out through PlugShare. Is there way from the physical appearance to tell whether a Supercharger is V3 or V2?

Two Pilot locations and nine Tesla locations in Texas received NEVI funding but the majority of the new Flying J/Pilot and Tesla locations in Texas are not benefiting from NEVI funds.

They’re there. Zoom out, turn on the “Show only coming soon” filter, drag up the list view and then scroll down to see the Flying J and Pilot listing.

I feel your pain but I have to say that the reliability of DCFC chargers in my area has improved dramatically in the last six months. Locations that I used to avoid if at all possible I now use routinely without trouble. Hopefully reliability will also improve in your area soon also.

NY , PA and NJ look pretty much saturated on PlugSharee with existing and planned DCFC chargers, much more than many western states. Of course I don’t know where you are or what you’re trying to do DCFV chargers but your case looks pretty isolated. Maybe you should reivaluate what you plan to...

The website you referenced doesn’t do a very good job of tracking planned projects. I think PlugShare does a better job since it is updated by users truely interested in planned charging locations. Here is a screenshot from PlugShare showing South Texas DCFC locations:

Us Ford EV owners have been so obsessed with gaining access to Superchargers I think we have lost sight of all the new DCFC chargers getting installed. Have you looked at PlugShare lately? The number of DCFC chargers under construction or under permit right now is just phenomenal! The NEVI...

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and Statewide Transportation Improvement Program update (STIP) dates. As the names imply, a TIP is local whereas a STIP is statewide. I know that's not what you were hoping for. supercharge.info says that the Wichita Falls site is under permit and was...

Do you feel the excitement? A small thing happened but this small thing will have a huge impact on EV adoption. This small thing that happened I have been saying should have happened ten years ago and because it didn’t happen EV progress has been constrained. What happened? Tesla opened up the...

I received my Lightning a whole year earlier than I expected based on where I thought I was in the reservation line. Here’s crossing our fingers that Ford figures out how to get there adapters out much quicker.

The battery really never goes to zero even though the gauge says zero. There is always a buffer. When the battery gets low the battery management system will reduce power to the motors and when the battery gets really low the BMS will turn off power to the motors completely. But no worries...

At the risk of side tracking this thread, I have to say that your statement is wrong on so many levels. To prevent a diatribe I’ll just state that our government reflects the conflicting interests of the population. I do also have to say though that the EV revolution we are in was started by and...

Hot damn!!! After about an hour of trying I was able to reserve and received the conformation email. Delivery not until May but after such a long wait at least I know my Tesla Supercharger adapter is coming. It looks like we already have access to the Superchargers so now I envy those that...

There has to be at least 4 charges capable of charging at least 150 kW and the chargers have to be available 96% of the time but requirements that Tesla was really having trouble with is that the chargers had to use the CCS standard and the chargers had to have card readers.

The TXDOT website identifies 1st year awards for Texas NEVI locations, nine of the fifty locations identified list Tesla as the awardee. I am more than a little surprised that Tesla won the awards with all the resistance Tesla has had to NEVI requirements. It’s going to be interesting seeing how...
