Mine has been leaking quite a bit. I put a cup under the car to collect and analyze it. It’s clear with no odor. I’m going to trust it’s condensation from the AC and ignore it.

These are great ideas. Anyone using the only the 60% (with a person in the rear passenger seat) with a big dog? Think adult German Shepherd sized. Enough rough?

I find this extremely interesting. Sounds like they installed that camera with plans to go hands free at some point, then eventually learned that the existing camera wasn’t going to work the way they intended, so they bailed on the idea all together. Disappointing. My guess is some time in the...

While I agree with the sentiment, EA won't be forgotten. Unlike EVGo, Chargepoint, etc. EA exists because they have to exist per an agreement between VW and the US Gov to pay for the diesel cheat scandal. So even if no one goes there, pretty sure they need to remain.

With this EA announcement I'm betting there is a VW announcement coming within the next several weeks...

I don't disagree with any of your points. I would say however, that CCS infrastructure does exist today and it gets the job done. Let's not start cutting the CCS ends off cables and put in NACS, but for new chargers, let's focus on NACS and maximize ROI. ~10 years from now, CCS probably...

There will be adaptors available next year and I believe like Rivan, the other OEMs (Ford, GM, Volvo) will be giving them for free to their CCS customers. Even if not free, how much money would be saved for everyone to be sent a free adaptor vs including CCS on chargers that wont really be...

I’m not sure if that’s true. I had to get my headlight replaced. I called Rivian and they said a non-certified wouldn’t be able to get the part. They also said they wouldn’t touch it because it was a collision. I also took it to a non certified place for an estimate per my insurance companies...

If that happened EV OEMs would have a choice. break away and lose access to Tesla SC or stick with Tesla. Since the entire point of switching to NACS is Tesla SC access, pretty clear that will never happen. A massive Tesla SC gives Tesla the power. And my assumption is all these agreements have...

The best EA experience I had was when I was doing a pretty deep charge (~30% with a goal to get to 100%) on a trip and the charger crashed at about 90%. I tried to restart the charge but the screen was frozen and for more than 24 hours when I went into the EA app it said i was still there...

100%. I've never driven a tesla and have never been to an SC, but I for sure would prefer to pay more for reliability. I have an EA membership. I wont in 2024 regardless of the price difference. EA is fine, but not something i'd consider "reliable." *assuming non-Tesla cars will have a good...

Ok, how about this stat - 46% of all non-Tesla EVs sold in 2023 Q1 will have access to the Tesla SC network next year (GM, Rivian, Volvo/Polestar, Ford). That's just under half and was 0% about a month ago. At the rate of these agreements (about 1 every couple weeks) will be well over half by...

While I think VW will be one of the last, I don't really think they care about EA that much. EA was an obligation to the US government over their diesel cheat scandal. They care about selling cars. Going to needs NACS + Tesla SC access to sell cars in the near future. They will move to NAC in...

By end of this year probably every major company will have an agreement in place with Tesla with the exception of maybe VW and Toyota, but they wont hold out long. The move to NACS is happening fast and being left out of Tesla SC at this point is a loosing proposition. This now puts NACS (and...

While I love the idea of customization, I've been pretty happy with the information layout. At any given time you can see battery info (driver screen), nav info, music info, time, outside temp, and climate info all at once. There is really not much more I'd like to see frequently other than...

Invitation? I thought it was one of those legally binding agreements between 2 parties…

Blocking two? Worst case wouldn’t it be blocking one and legitimately using the other?

I’m not a fan of this change. The reason it was there in the first place was to support hands-free driving. While you don’t technically need to monitor the driver to enable hands-free, the fact that they did not mention the impact to future hands-free features makes me think they are pivoting...

I did before posting. I don't make claims without making sure I know what I’m talking about. Your claim of dozens of EV makers commited to CCS vs 4 with announcements on moving to NACS is obviously an extreme exaggeration. EV sales through Q4 2022 (not dozens)...
