It would be unusual to have a diode in the jumper cables. Should work both ways. Also, the 12v bms should keep the battery charged.

Legacy auto is reluctant to outsource any more software. They've been burned. AA/CP gives tech companies access and control of valuable data and control of the car. That's why Tesla did their own.

There advantages to net connected chargers...

Blast from the past. I have an OpenEVSE that I built from a kit about 8 years ago. Mounted outside house before I built garages. Still works and I use it occasionally. (But not this Spring since the Bluejays were using it as a nesting site.) New ones Connect to charging network or Home...

Nice Thunderbird!

I got the Charge Point Flex for free (including installation) from my utility. Works great and app tracks usage.

You really don't understand how software works.

My Teslas have automatic open/close. Seems like a no brainer. I never have to press any buttons. Garage door opens when I pull into the driveway and closes as I leave. Patience grasshopper.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the Wall Street analysts. They are generally clueless and have a herd mentality. I've followed Tesla stock for a long time and the analysts have been wrong most of the time. RIVN is still in a fragile startup phase. Things are looking good but they are still...

From Wikipedia: After Axel Springer SE purchased Business Insider in 2015, a substantial portion of its staff left the company. According to a CNN report, some staff who exited complained that "traffic took precedence over enterprise reporting".[11] The website has faced criticism for what...

Went to university in Philadelphia. Didn't venture out of the university cocoon so not much exposure to the native culture but I was not impressed.

Yes, mostly diy. Much cheaper. Also, some surplus panels. All are fixed ground arrays. Lot of tree shading so challenging.

My solar PV system paid for itself in 6 years. I now have free electricity. Net metering allows me to use the grid for free storage until I need the power. I don't get paid for yearly excess but come out about even.

Probably best for longer charges

The dual switches off the rear motor automatically when it's not needed and on when needed. The quad in conserve switches off the rear motors but they don't come back on when you need the extra power.
