  1. Charger sitting idle? Could make money and friends? Anyone thinking of Airbnb-modeled system for mapping/renting out private chargers for travelers?

    I read the original idea as “let’s have an Airbnb of chargers” And my point to that is, sure, but no need to ask for money. Maybe I I missread it, and your clarification made it easier for me, but I do believe there is merit that, in a situation, where a property is already on Airbnb, or such...
  2. Have power sharing between v3 Tesla Universal Wall Connector (NACS+J1772) and NACS wall connector, AMA

    I have the same Q- I’ll try to discover the power sharing heuristics, just had 2 vehicles at 70…80% to test and it did 50% 50% which seemed reasonable. I do wish the Tesla app showed 2 chargers in the garage instead of one for a quicker readout.
  3. Have power sharing between v3 Tesla Universal Wall Connector (NACS+J1772) and NACS wall connector, AMA

    For the Universal charger: A Tesla/nacs driver has zero difference in experience. Just grab the handle from the base and go. A J1772 driver needs to push the thumb on a button at the top of the handle as they take the “nozzle” out. It doesn’t require force to either press the button or remove...
  4. Charger sitting idle? Could make money and friends? Anyone thinking of Airbnb-modeled system for mapping/renting out private chargers for travelers?

    I guess I was trying to say the idea has enough merit that it was implemented and well, in PlugShare. At one point *all* the EVSEs there were privately owned or added as a wiki, only after they started connecting straight to networks. but the mechanism to publish a charge point, set metadata to...
  5. Have power sharing between v3 Tesla Universal Wall Connector (NACS+J1772) and NACS wall connector, AMA

    Interesting. Hopefully the recent updates to the charger experience in the app (which shows the name of the Tesla car when charging) hints that they are starting to get and publish that telemetry real time. But if it is a fixed schedule why not program it in? (Asking to learn)
  6. Charger sitting idle? Could make money and friends? Anyone thinking of Airbnb-modeled system for mapping/renting out private chargers for travelers?

    Early on the EV community we started doing this for free. I still have my house advertised on PlugShare. I won’t charge a fellow EV user for a charge.
  7. Have power sharing between v3 Tesla Universal Wall Connector (NACS+J1772) and NACS wall connector, AMA

    Have power-sharing of a 60A line across two Tesla Wall Connectors that can balance the load (up to a total of 48 A) The implementation of the Universal dock is surprisingly elegant and simple. Before I used a Lectron adapter (NACS to J1772) and put it on and off the end as needed. Tesla...
  8. Thermal images of my Rivian home charger

    I learned the craze around “phone extensions” that are deeply integrated fires back … given the pace at which phones and software moves. My first FLIR that attached to the phone went obsolete because of app updates. Another one a port issues. with those lessons, now I’d buy a standalone unit...
  9. Are there any products you need for the Rivian and nobody made yet?

    A little trash can for 2nd row R1S. https://www.evbase.com/products/riv...ldQV68DRBoC1nAQAvD_BwE&variant=43838794694899 This little cubby is awesome in quality but built to be Velcrod to a vertical surface which the R1S doesn’t have. A similar one with the Velcro on the bottom, and a shape...

  11. iPhone 15 Pro & charging pad not working

    my opinion is that the built-in pad is overengineered and undercustomizable. I’d rather it be a simple 2x charge spot that can be removed and see a 12v outlet below, where I could put my own 60W adapter. barring that, something closer to the stowNcharge solution
  12. OTA Tire Size Update

    In a Tesla it is a simple drop down where you choose which wheels you have (unfortunately they don’t let you plug in a correction factor or custom tire sizes if you are not using stock sizes). Doesn’t seem it should be rocket science.
  13. Input on 14-50 outlet install

    10 years EVs and EVSE experience- and a geek here. My biggest reco would be: Wire and breaker for 60A. Not higher. If you install only one EVSE, I’d make it a Tesla Universal Wall Connector (nacs and J) Why? 1) both connectors in one reliable package, 24 ft cable. You get OTA updates, and...
  14. 20" or 22" wheels for snow tires?

    Yup, That would match to 0.25% See results (offsets distorted so you see the contrast between wheels more easily)
  15. 20" or 22" wheels for snow tires?

    WillTheyFit.com is your friend. Shows the Nokias Hakk**etc 275/60R20 are 3.28% smaller than the 275/65r20 we did custom wheels and larger tires on our Model Y and this tool was great help (as well as a previous owner who tried on sizes empirically to see if they’d rub against the wheel wells etc)
  16. LinerX Floormats (All Three Rows) & Cargomat Liners (R1S/R1T)

    What’s the lead time for 2nd and 3rd seat back covers? Got the trunk portion and was so happy to w the quality and fit I decided to go full coverage. also, any plans for a sub-trunk liner?
  17. Front wheels from driver screen are turning in steering direction

    Wait was there a /s supposed to go there? (I’m one of those who don’t miss CarPlay)
  18. NEW Black Rhino 20" Forged Wheels on Rivian

    Forgot to say we have Black Rhino Mozambique 18” wheels on our Model Y with larger than stock tires and they are excellent quality. Interested in the aero characteristics of these too- I would use these for winter and every % counts on long winter road trips (especially without supercharger network)
  19. NEW Black Rhino 20" Forged Wheels on Rivian

    Aaand.. that’s exactly why one gets Compass Yellow with black wheels.
  20. Frunk Heat

    Yeah I would not put fresh groceries in the R1S frunk, it is a bummer because in the Tesla Y it was the coolest storage
