  1. Comparison: EA vs CP vs EVgo trip charging

    And, according to Plugshare, $10/hr parking fee after the first hour!. Sheesh
  2. 7 Major Carmakers Launch New EV Charging Network In North America!

    Please, please adopt the Tesla charging model: park, plug, and charging starts. No cards, no menus, no start buttons to push, no key ring fobs, nothing. One time you register your car with the charging network, then you plug in and your car does the communication, starts the charge, and bills...
  3. SAE is standardizing the NACS connector – making it less dependent on Tesla

    I'm hoping SAE doesn't try to fix something that's not broken. Tesla does so well in selling cars due, IMO, in large part to their charging network. It works, it is everywhere, it's reliably operational, and it is absolutely plug and play. I hope a committee doesn't decide they need an app, or a...
  4. Jim Farley on Cybertruck: "I make trucks for real people who do real work, and that's a different kind of truck."

    Did you include the refinement costs in your estimate? Check who owns the largest US refinery. Don't want to get into a back and forth on this, just saying EVs use an American fuel and ICE vehicles do not.
  5. Jim Farley on Cybertruck: "I make trucks for real people who do real work, and that's a different kind of truck."

    And they (as do all EVs) use American fuel. That's a huge deal considering how much of $ spent on each tank of gas goes straight to the Middle East.
  6. Lightning Retains Full $7500 Tax Credit For <$80k MSRP Buyers in 2023

    Is Mach-E only half rebate because it isn't US made, but foreign produced? I know the purpose of the various rebate rules was to encourage American business. Or is it a battery component or assembly reason?
  7. ‘22 Pro Totaled: Advice Please

    Agreed 100% with fair treatment from USAA. I get the 20% additional payment rider, it is kind of like gap insurance but nothing to do with loans. Since often the value of a car may not be what you would expect (we all would like a new one of course), that 20% is a good deal. As for the...
  8. Circle K charging station experience by Out of Spec Kyle

    This! Tesla long ago (in EV time) set the standard for a charging experience…plug in and you’re done. This is almost as good, one simple extra step of tapping your phone or watch with Apple Pay on a screen. No app, no screen menu, no NFC card, no resetting the screen, no doing things in the...
  9. Tesla to open ~20% of U.S. Superchargers to all EV by end of 2024

    Agreed as far as raw numbers. But if you know a Supercharger is available on your route, you basically have zero anxiety about whether it will be working. Priceless.
  10. [Updated with Ford statement 2/15/23] 🛑 Lightning Stop Production / Stop Shipment Issued (due to potential battery issue)

    In an interview recently, Sandy Munro was highly complimentary of the F150 and Mach-E build quality. Except for the Teslas he's studied which are much better overall than anyone, he said the 2 Ford EVs were in 2nd place and WELL ahead of all other EV manufacturers that he's torn down to date...
  11. Nice to see...EV Charger ticketing

    A statue enacted in Florida in 2012: "366.94 Electric vehicle charging stations . . . 3)(a) It is unlawful for a person to stop, stand, or park a vehicle that is not capable of using an electrical recharging station within any parking space specifically designated for charging an electric...
  12. Could we expect price drop soon?

    Not surprised, really. Two cars, basically competing with each other for sales. Those who finally choose one of them understandably think they made the right choice and think it is better. Ford owners overlook Tesla's far superior supercharging network and zero ADM/dealer packs; Tesla owners...
  13. Tesla slashed prices

    That's the last published price for the entry-level CT, so no lowering needed. I expect a higher final price, though, since it appears they have several years of orders on the books. https://www.torquenews.com/1/data-shows-over-3-million-tesla-cybertruck-orders-and-its-not-surprising
