Every time I drive from Cape Cod to Boston the nav wants me to stop at a weigh station. Does it think the R1S is a commercial truck? Is it commenting on me being overweight? By the way, the weigh station looks permanently closed.

https://a2zevshop.com/products/dc-nacs-extension-cord-6-9-ft-2-3-meters I think this @A2ZEV NACS Extension Cord could be a game changer if it lets you not block spaces at Superchargers. I would pay $300 for this but I understand if others think it is too pricey. I'm guessing that the safety...

Does anyone have a recommended place for an inspection, where they will use my jack pucks to raise the vehicle properly? I've owned the R1S for a year and I'm overdue. Boston area preferred. Thanks.
