Cars and Bids is a terrible metric for gauging market price. They only allow one or two on there at a time as an active listing and it's always one or two bidders with extra money who will pay if it's the color/config they want. In the beginning when R1's were scarce, there were people lining...

We had the 6 seater as well. The open space between the 2nd row seats made it much better for those with longer legs to use the third row. Of course it's usage dependent, if you have taller adults in the 2nd row as well, it all gets real cramped. My wife and I are both 5'8". She has all of...

I'm curious on his insight as well. We owned a Model X for 4 1/2 years and loved it. Sold it because it was a 2016 P90D and used car values were WAY UP with all the covid shortages and it was insane to not capitalize on that. Besides, it was just time with its older less efficient motors --...

Even if you have pre-march '22 pricing, you won't make money flipping at this point. They're selling 2nd-hand for less than current MSRP. Too many people bought and tried to flip and with interest rates up and especially bad on used cars, it's just not in your favor. You just might be able to...

Yeah, that's excessive. But it looks like they're dumping all their engineering/ planning/ BS fees into the permit section. The $799 for basic installation is also high. That's what they're going to charge you before they even see what you have to work with. If you need longer runs of wire/...

Yep, it's month to month. I keep EA on the standard option without the monthly fee since I've only used it in my local driving twice since getting my Lightning in December and once when borrowing my friend's R1T. Now if I'm going on a road trip, I'll upgrade to Pass+ since I'll be charging...

Multiple factors at work here. Strikes, parts shortages are still a thing, 2023 model year has all but run its course, yet 2024 order guides are not available. Saw a reddit post where someone had their Lightning canceled, but dealer tells them the allocation is still assigned to them. They've...

Just FYI, I am now accepting tips for any and all posts I make on this forum. Please choose from one of the following amounts I have conveniently set up for you: - 20% - - 30% - - 45% - ...yes, I realize tipping a % of nothing is still nothing. Tip culture needs to end right now.

Yeah, 2-2-2-4 is overkill and what you want if you're feeding a 120A sub-panel in your garage. So 75 should do it. At least for a ballpark price estimate. You don't need 6-6-6-6. I would run that by an electrician, but I don't know if the aluminum wire is going to be the right choice here...

How long of a run do you have between your electrical panel and charger location? His aluminum wire proposal is fine for running a feed to a new sub panel or disconnect for the charger, then copper from there for the last few feet. These charger units are equipped to take 6 gauge copper. That...

I've installed several ChargePoint Home Flex chargers. The manual does not in any way imply that you only lose the 20% from using the plug. Your electrician should automatically know that any SUSTAINED loads are to not exceed (in nominal operation) 80% of circuit capacity. The Charge Point...

With 50 Amp direct wired, you get 40 Amp if you have it set up properly. Same as if you connect with a 50 Amp plug like a NEMA 14-50. Does not matter if the device is direct-wired on the circuit or not, the maximum sustained draw allowed is 80% of the limit. So a 60A circuit charges at 48A...

That must be new for 2023. And how does that apply to other restrictions on wiring multiple devices to 240V circuits? I'm not sure what would qualify as restricted access... If software controls would be adequate.

It's a pretty big battery, so depending on how much daily driving you do on average, you will find more or less value in higher charge rates. The amps you select are the circuit breaker size, not the charging rate. So, if you select 50A, then you will be installed on a 50A breaker and charging...

LOL... After waiting almost 2 hours I finally got into chat with customer service. They say they're canceling/ processing my refund. That only took 10 days to get to that point. Let's see how well they follow through. Sorry, to hijack threads, I just happened to be here and vented my...

I've got a Hummer EV reservation that I can't get refund either. GM blames dealership, dealership claims they have now knowledge/responsibility. Credit card company can't help because it's been like 2 years for whatever. And I'm now fighting to get my $1000 back from Rivian. I'm livid...

Tesla does sell the "Corded Mobile Connector" which is permanently wired with a 14-50 plug and does not have interchangeable plugs, that one charges at 40A. But yeah, it's too bad they downgraded the max charge limit with UMC gen-2.

well, we don't know any details yet for an R1S max pack, other than they said they would make it. Can't configure it yet, no pricing, no specs. R1T max pack seems to offer little benefit for the cost and is greatly watered down from what it was supposed to be. As a max pack hold-out, it's...

Hmmm... Weird. I wonder if they're building some estimated cost savings into the up-front pricing for the dual-motor by trimming some warranty incentive off the back end. Bean counters do funny things like that. What about in California where EV batteries must have a 10 year warranty as...

I'd say GM's new system is better than Rivian's, but GM isn't building it... They've hired a dedicated team that's partially embedded with Google's games and entertainment divisions. The system is running a full Android OS so is no different than setting up a new Android tablet. Their UI is...
