From what I understand I hear you need an advanced degree to sort out a Georgia Power electric bill. In most places it is complicated, with my service, the delivery fees are slightly greater than the supply fees so quoting the cost of the energy without including the cost of the delivery and...

I would avoid any SC with a line, since Teslas like to not park next to one another, a legacy of V2 SCs, even a half full site has no CCS charging spots. And I doubt you get any likes for taking a spot and waiting. You did right to move to the EA but someday that won’t be an option and you will...

My thought as well.

The advantage is now, there was no advantage when you had four fuses and a 30A alternator. You may wish to deny the facts but there real advantages and 48V architectures are coming. Your car or tractor once ran on a 6V system, 12V proved to be better handling bigger loads so it took over. But...

I have a fairly smart home and don’t know where there are any DC runs except maybe POE, you got me on that problem. And modems, computers, LEDs and other electronics can accept any input voltage, sometimes an AC wall plug, sometimes a DC wall adapter. My point is you have DC-DC converters on...

Not sure I would agree, unless you are running some old school filament bulbs there isn’t much that works directly off the 12V supply without some sort of DC-DC conversion. The benefits of 48V in wiring harness are not only cost and weight reductions, but also the resistive losses are reduced...

I am no lawyer but since there many perfectly legal ways to gain a monopoly position, it isn’t a problem until you abuse it to punish competitors and you start getting the attention of government or regulatory agencies, think Microsoft and others and now Google. Which raises the case of SpaceX...

I am no fan of Tesla but given they had to bootstrap a charging network to support their growing base of EVs, I’m not convinced they abused their natural monopoly of charging Tesla EVs. Their monopoly was earned being a first mover and efficient producer, for many years you could purchase a...

I try to think rationally so I could be in big trouble here, but I assume Tesla has to balance the marginal revenue gained by opening to other EV’s (just Ford and Rivian so far) with their own demand which is much higher. It makes sense to me to not open it up if it’s relatively near a...
