I know for some pre-2021 Teslas to use other brand CCS chargers, some needed a hardware upgrade for compatibility. Doesnāt seem crazy that they could reverse engineer an adaptor to make it work backwards. But wishful thinking and clearly more complicated than that
Simplistic question, I know, and yes, I have used the search button on the forum. But at a very simple level, if a Tesla can differentiate between the different types of superchargers, and adapt to different protocol or handshake to recognize and accept a charge from them, Then, what is the...
I spoke to Granger last month when I was Lightning shopping. Theyāll sell to Canadians if you have a US address you can use. Apparently the warranty is applied immediately to your vehicle and you can see confirmation in the app? Valid in Canada and US. I have a US drop box, and I notified my...
Right now for a ā24 in Canada, thereās not much savings going for a Pro over an XLT. The XLT is eligible for the āford employee pricingā promotion with about $6500 off MSRP, there is minimal to no discount on Pro. If you go standard range, then you also get $5000 off for the federal iZev...
If I were you, I'd keep the Powerboost and get a cheap Bolt or Leaf, or a very used Prius to do the commute. You'd be way ahead $-wise. Trading an already expensive vehicle to buy a rapidly-depreciating EV truck is not going to offset any gas savings. That said, if you really want a...
Thanks for everybody who chimed in with their experiences. Good to hear lots of positive experiences on here along with some of the bad. After thinking it through, I am going to sit on the fence for a while longer I think and see how the EV landscape shakes out next couple of years. As...
I had a $100 reservation from Chevrolet a couple years back and got an email to come in and order one, which I didnāt do, but it is orderable for sure, in WT trim anyway. The RST initial allocation may be sold out but, Iāll be Chevy has a pricing reality check and will need to drop prices a lot...
Your salesperson sounds behind the times. It is available for sale in Canada now in WT trim to both consumers and fleet buyers, limited stock at dealers but my dealer would be happy to configure and order one. The RST consumer trim is later this year and will be pricey. We Canadians have WAY...
Not concerned about stranded for low battery or not planning charging stops. Much more about getting a HV battery failure or DC charging failure enroute or on future trips. I get all the comments that new cars can break and it is a risk with any vehicle. But this seems like a fairly...
I had a Pontiac in the 90ās that had a gas gauge stuck on empty. It was the original Guess-O-Meter. Ran out of gas more than once. I think it gave me excellent preparation for Lightning ownership.
No, fair. But still a valid question to someone who is an experienced and knowledgeable Lightning guru. I have appreciated your insight on here about lots of topics.
If only. I have searched the country and literally a handful of leftover ā23 XLT ERās anywhere and none within 1500km of me. This one is an extra $5k off as an untitled dealer demo with 2000km on it.
