No more zone lighting in the app...I think I remember being able to turn on the lights and control them in the app. It has been a while.

Why am I planning for retirement? Why not just buy fun stuff and use it up? What is the point of it all?

That is what I was thinking. The industry responsible for the damage controls the information and messaging related to the damage...As I was reading it I was thinking this is not an apples to apples comparison. By the time the transportation sector is 90+percent electric, consuming 1100 Terra...

And EVs will be blamed for the high cost of electricity. 5 years ago they were saying the grid couldn't handle the EV load. Data centers will soon be using more power than EVs. In my current searches they say that data centers will consume 10 percent of us energy annually and that a 100 percent...

I have a lectron extension cable. I don't use it often since I installed another evse. I use it to go from the front right corner of one garage bay to reach outside for EV charging when not parked in the garage. It is a 40ft 40 amp cable. The cable is thicker than the cable on the fcsp.

I know that it has been a while, but state of charge Tom had an old charging video of the lightning starting at various states of charge going up to 80. There is a hard limit at 80 percent that drips charging down to under 60kW. If the battery is in the correct temperature range, no matter the...

I understand that it does this, but why? If I want a HOT steering wheel let me have it HOT. If it gets too hot I can turn it off. I also have increased my wheel temp to 39C from the usual 35C (which made it significantly better). My wife's Volvo has 3 heating levels. High will make your hands...

I have continental vikingcontact 7 winter tires on my lightning (well not on it now. It is not yet winter). 275 65 18, about an inch smaller diameter. They are quiet and gave been great the last few years.y only complaint would be the balance seems off just a bit with a vibration from the upper...

We got our emporia evse in Feb/March this year and it is the older one.

GMP clearly states which EVSEs are compatible with their program. We have two flo home X5 EVSEs and one emporia. However they go about getting the data, it needs to be easy for them. I would have used the fcsp if it was compatible with their billing, but the ones they provide work great and are...

Oops. I ducking hate it when my ducking phone ships the bed when it comes to properly censoring me.

Switch from reverse to drive. On my Volvo EX90 the gear selector is on the right side of the steering wheel (opposite the turn signal stalk). Drive is down, reverse is up (the stalk returns to the neutral position after actuation).

Very nice. One of the other cars that I drive regularly has a column shifter. I have now swiped at air trying to shit into drive on the lightning and activated the windshield wipers on the Volvo xc40. Column shifter just makes sense, is always out of the way and works great.

Exactly this. Lightning charges pretty well up to 80 percent, then drops to almost 60kW. It will stop at 90 percent unless you override and tell it to charge to 100 percent. At 90 it is charging at less than 30kW.

My only carvana experience was selling to them, twice (Volvo XC90, Toyota Tacoma). I provided the title to them, but if the title was not provided I could see it being a problem. I would hope that if carvana was paying off the vehicle loan that the title would be sent to carvana, but if sent to...

I hope this was intentional and not an oops. If it was intentional was it really necessary in the earlier model years? Why was it there if it wasn't necessary? If it was necessary what changed? Did anything change other than the accountants insisting on cutting costs? So at best something else...

I only dcfc while traveling away from home. I found a local free dcfc at the power company headquarters and gave charged there when my daughter is at dance class (10-15 minutes there and back, an hour in total to kill). The dcfc is 120kW and limited to 300 amp. I'll take whichever EV needs the...

But then it isn't surge pricing. That would be time of use pricing. Surge would imply that demand increased.... Maybe the surge in surge pricing is just that. A surge in the price irrespective of demand.

I have solar with 2x powerwall two backup. This can run our entire house (natural gas heat/hot water). What I would really like is to be able to charge the powerwall from the truck if necessary. During the summer I can easily get plenty of charging from solar. Even on a overcast day we...

The best thing about 1.6 miles per kWh is that with an ER battery you consume just over 2 miles per percent SOC. So if you have 75 percent remaining you should be able to go at least 150 miles. My most recent towing experience averaged about 1.7 miles per kWh and using the 2 miles per percent...
