Glad to see another one of us finding solutions and our trucks. I was explaining this all to my Brother in law tonight as he is looking for a decent solution to backup power during fire outages in the Sierra foothills.

we decided we wanted some lake time so we came up to our house at Shaver Lake Ca. The trip is 150 miles but we wanted a burger in Kettleman City In N Out so we stopped and charged it to 80%. I was averaging 1.9/kwh until we hit the mountains. The elevation gain was about 1 mile/kwh but still...

BTW, I’m so sorry your trip went so bad. I know that stress first hand. We are gearing up for a trip to PNW and in to canada and plan to use the Tesla network. There’s so many special cases when it comes to having a good experience and the on,y reason I know most of these special cases is 1. Had...

There’s two Kettleman Superchargers. The one you went to with the lounge is just for Teslas< there’s one 2x as big just East by In N Out. That’s where we have to go with our Lightning even though we haven’t yet. I have the NACS adapter but if/when I need a little juice on this trip (it’s...

PG&E is a pretty massive organization. Who knows what corporate cluster could be going on internally…. if I were in your situation, I’d not apply using the Lightning (I didn’t). I applied as did my neighbors and my mom using my Yamaha generator that is on the list. There was zero ”prove it!” or...

Here’s what they gave me. There‘s not a backside to it. Hope this helps.

Got the weird “we appreciate you“ email this morning and then just after dinner I got the “shipped” email. I’m #6352. I JUST ordered the A2Z adapter too. I may try and adapter arbitrage the A2Z at the Rivian forums. Yes, that makes me a bad person, greedy and a capitalist….guilty as charged.

Our daughter called us today to let us know her summer schedule (teacher) and asked us to plan a visit to her in Tacoma mid July. That’s a casual 5 day drive from central coast California. Wife and I went back and forth all day on taking the Tesla Y, Lightning, camping, trailer etc. When it...

I think I do at home. We’re up at our cabin for a week but when we get back I’ll take a look.

Thanks so much for circling around and letting me know my posts were beneficial to you. Only needed it twice this winter and only for a brief period but it sure is nice to know it’s there if/when needed, especially since we are 100% electrical and on a water well. It’s not perfect but the...

Here’s a pic of the V4 chargers (V3 power cabinets) I came across in S Cal. They’re all magic dock and you’ll see the pedestals are in the center of the parking spot. The cables are longer too. The location was horrible though. It was at the exit of a Burger King drive through so every 30...

Thanks for weighing in. For anyone interested, These can still be found on eBay and even here it appears for cheap. https://www.pioneerbreaker.com/product-p/9450.htm the issue was finding the right cover which was the HBL7777 (not HBL7777A). I think I paid $12/each for the actual outlet and $20...

I pulled one out of storage and took some pics. I think I’d describe it as “industrial”. It’s heavy duty in weight and in feel.

Would appreciate some informed opinions. On our vacation house I had a porcelain Hubbell Nema 14-50 installed (Hubbell 9450). I found a handful of them on EBay, old stock still in their boxes, new. It doesn’t appear Hubbell makes these anymore but they’re built like a tank and USA made. i...

For clarification….i have no interest in being a bidder nor buyer but trying to figure out the scam angle. Thanks for weighing in all. Fun to read the interpretation and analysis of the hive. Just landed in Hawaii so two weeks of vacation commencing.

I plug mine in every time I park it and hold the charge at 85%. The truck will need power throughout the day/night and I’d rather it pull from the shore power than the battery. Walk up to the truck and you’ll hear the charger/wall connector click on, that’s the truck pulling a little power for...

Screenshots. The scam is probably that you ”win” and then wire money off to some untraceable account in the Bahamas.

I’ll do a screenshot since I’m already down this rabbit hole.
