Magic Dock was an experiment. It will not be expanded. The new solution is NACS on third-party vehicles. Magic Dock can’t be scaled because it results in one non-Tesla EV blocking two charging stalls. This cannot be expanded beyond the few locations. There may be an adapter, but it will have...

You don’t understand the difference between the Magic Dock solution and a native NACS connector? Do you need help?

Tesla uses much thinner cables at DC chargers than the cables used at CCS chargers. I never said they were made by Tesla. I called them NACS cables because they are connected to NACS handles. If I called them Tesla cables, you would jump on me too. How would you like me to refer to them? I...

It can’t charge at above 50 kW. It will clog the superchargers if it’s allows to be charged there.

NACS is just a plug. Google it. It’s on the Tesla web site telling you exactly what NACS is. It’s not a protocol. It’s not a charging network. It’s just a charging connector (male and female).

Chevy Bolt won’t get access to the Superchargers.

Tesla uses shorter cables, so they can be of lesser gauge and still support the same amperage. The CCS1 cable with the CCS1 connector is unwieldy. I have to use two hands in the winter to plug it in, and I’m not a weak person. My wife had to use two hands in the summer. Some older people often...

If you provided him with the money to purchase an EV, you could question his choices. Otherwise, what the hell?

Yes, it’s too much to expect being able to travel in your brand spanking new EV anywhere an ICEV can travel with reasonably short fueling stops. This is, indeed, a prime example of instant gratification. Bad Americans. Bad, bad, bad.

The reason for Rivian’s to switch now even without a deal with Tesla is to future proof itself. Just consider how few Rivians have been delivered so far and compare it to the number of Rivians that will be delivered between today and a year from now. A year from now this problem will be 10 times...

CCS is not dead. CCS1 is dead.

This makes zero sense. Rivian operates RAN, which is CCS1 based DC charging network that doesn’t allow access to any other brand. It’s doesn’t make CCS1 not an open standard.

We all know that, but that doesn’t mean that the ability to equip an EV with a NACS receptacle in the charge port must come bundled with the access to the Tesla Supercharger network. These are two separate things. If tomorrow EA announced that they will equip every stall with a NACS handle (in...

And for the second time it goes grammatically incorrect.

And yet, those two parts are not directly linked. If the NACS specification were opened from the get go, CCS1 would unlikely take root in the US (and Canada), as the NACS connector is so much better than the CCS1 connector.

Deer are ones of the dumbest animals. But even dogs get hit by cars and chase trucks trying to dive under trucks’ wheels. Even the smartest dog breeds can’t understand the danger of moving vehicles unless specifically trained to do so.

What kind of valuation should Rivian have when it loses more on each vehicle it sells than the gross proceeds it receives from the sale of each vehicle? This is unsustainable in the short term, not to mention the long term. I hear the Rivian’s valuation is equal to its assets. That’s what it...

Because they weren’t programmed to avoid moving vehicles.

This is a $22,000 repair.

I have the information to rebuff every single one of these points, and so do 80% of people reading this nonsense. This is such obvious bullshit that it doesn’t deserve more than what my comment already said. To humor you, I will explicitly rebuff #1. NACS supports up to 1000V.
