I feel like that, but there are some times I’m just cutting off my nose to spite my face not going to Tesla. I supercharger so infrequently the $$$ amount is minimal, and the $$$ difference very small. But if all possible I’m with you.
I wanted to ask about that. While awaiting my R2, I leased an Equinox EV with the CCS port. I purchased the correct adapter from GM, and have used it a few times at Tesla stations (I charge 90%+ at home.) I had no difficulty using it. I suppose it’s mildly inconvenient. When I had a Tesla M3, I...
Most Excellent! I used the EA charger at the Needles CA Walmart (not much out there) driving from Vegas to Palm Springs. Some quick cheap shopping, and back on the road.
If you want to go from A to B (not a Rivian thing) then an Equinox EV AWD. I’m leasing one waiting for my R2. Roomy, fast enough, reliable (so far.) Not bad looking. Avoid the FWD. And you can get them cheap.
I have owned several RV’s and towed vehicles behind (TOADS). But, I’ve never owned a travel trailer. For the knowledgeable on this forum, here’s a few questions (knowing that the firm information isn’t really out there yet):
How much of a travel trailer will I be able to tow comfortably...
An old Car and Driver column (? P.J. O’Rourke?) about new Jaguars said they needed to come with a Pinto loaner. Maybe a Corolla or Elantra with the R1S.
I have an Equinox EV on lease with an R2 order as well. I went to the Pasadena Space, looked at the R2. Seems very close to the Equinox. The Equinox is 4 inches longer, 2” wider than the R2. The Lyric is bigger still. I think the R2 is closer to the Optic. (Same car, fancied up).
My daughter moved into a house with a 10-30 dryer plug in her garage. We were able to use that at 24 amps, using an automatic splitter from Amazon. Works great, there’s a plug for the dryer and for the EVSE.
Driver rear will make Tesla Supercharger use much easier. My Equinox EV is driver front, more difficult. Easy at EA. I’m 95% at home/rooftop solar anyway, but visiting my daughter 400 miles away requires a couple of charges, and Tesla is clearly most convenient. Apparently they recently...
