    NACS adapter resume shipping to Ford EV owners

    For those lost in the backcountry, Ford had delayed promised adapters from April/May into June after delivering a few thousand in April. Well today the adapter spigot reopened and multiple of the unshipped April adapter recipients are finding notice their official NACS adapters are shipping from...

    Thinking of trading my Mach E in and have a few general questions about Rivian software/UI

    Mach-E GT owner with an R1S. I have no issues with it, I have a good dealer so accessing service isnā€™t a problem. If it is only two of us we take the Mach-E, it is about twice as efficient as the R1S if you care about operating costs. I just have my iPhone mounted with the Open Source EV phone...

    EV use can be more expensive than gas

    Just throwing this out there, why should it be cheap? A carbon-free transportation system doesnā€™t necessarily align with the carbon-extraction model of the past 300 years. I donā€™t pay anything for charging three EVs at home (25kW of solar panels) so while I am price sensitive on trips, no...

    Tesla supercharger access delayed for other EV brands

    Nah, Tesla is in the rear view mirror now and xAI and SpaceX are where the real action is happening, especially if his pay package is voted down.

    Tesla supercharger access delayed for other EV brands

    About 300 out of 2000 employee were let go. This facility is where Tesla Solar operates, where employees label video for Autopilot/FSD, a power electronics group and the Supercharger manufacturing. I donā€™t think they do the NACS adapter manufacturing there, looks an awful like the MagicDock...

    Tesla supercharger access delayed for other EV brands

    Just weird, like this snippet Which is it? GM says it is still on for spring so I donā€™t think you should claim they are delayed when GM actually said adapters will be available for purchase later this year. Volvo didnā€™t comment at all so donā€™t lump them in and Polestar said this which might...

    Tesla supercharger access delayed for other EV brands

    Based on the slow Ford and Rivian rollouts I already assumed this to be true but I donā€™t know that I would consider pcmag.com as an authoritative source. So far the only other news reports I can find are quoting pcmag.com as their source so Iā€™ll wait for someone better with their own reporting...

    Any updates on receiving the Tesla charging adapter?

    Only if everyone stops asking and only those that receive an adapter announce its arrival. But there arenā€™t any since none have shipped since the initial allotment and in the meantime the machinations of some in the past few pages are mind boggling. Given the uncertainty, either get an adapter...

    Any updates on receiving the Tesla charging adapter?

    Anything is possible since Rivian has no real deadlines to meet but would,love to see more R1 owners get one. But Ford has promised about 5000 in June, two of which are mine. Should Ford disappoint again I would suspect something has gone horribly wrong with the production of adapters and...

    Any updates on receiving the Tesla charging adapter?

    You ordered the bundle so have two adapters coming, bigger one for the DCFC Tesla SCs, smaller one for Tesla AC wall chargers.

    Supercharging limitation - is this new?

    I was referring to personal use, without multiple charging failures which is my usual experience when on the road using DCFC charging. Commercial use, towing, a string of bad luck with SC connections and other situations that I canā€™t even imagine are likely to run into the Tesla discount limit.

    Supercharging limitation - is this new?

    That is more restrictive but realistically I donā€™t think I have ever charged five times in a single day so I would sign up if I were looking to use the SC Network. What it does prevent is widespread sharing a single Tesla account. We have three non-Tesla EVs in the household and would share a...

    Supercharging limitation - is this new?

    Even if it applies to five individual SC sessions, that would be 1000 mile days so not much of a limitation unless you are doing a Cannonball Run Challenge.

    Supercharging limitation - is this new?

    At a site, keeps the ride-share people out. Keep moving and you are good.

    Living With The Chevy Silverado EV For (Almost) A Week

    I thought GM made the decision to drop CarPlay/AA from EVs models. This very recent Ars Technica review of the RST trim says CarPlay is gone The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EVā€™s great range comes at a high cost and it isnā€™t the only review to mention it as Autoweek says the same In their...

    Conflict at the Supercharger

    This is a great plan but fails to address the wider problem of the many others that arenā€™t enlightened like you or just donā€™t care. My fear is that charging at an SC will become a race to the bottom and where everyone is left unhappy whenever there is even modest utilization.
