The Performance up's that with adjustable dampers. Fremont has some of the worst beat up roads in the Bay area due to the number of trucks that come in and out of Tesla as well as the Automall area which is full of dealerships, and handled those roads near perfect!

I go to lunch regularly in a coworkers new Longe Range Dual Motor Model 3, and the ride is significantly softer and more compliant than my Plaid, even on the air suspensions softest setting. Incredible value for the money given all it delivers.

GM EVs now have access to Tesla Superchargers. Have to pay for your own adapters though

I have no idea... Lol
But, only a hundred years from horse & buggy and it looks so odd and out of place.

Things are moving WAY too fast. 🤖. 🛸

a century is too fast?

if you don't like the speed of change in the past century, you're really not going to like the pace of change this century.

For folks looking for a good home charger, don't get a JuiceBox. It worked fine for a year or so, but now refuses to auto start the charge when the vehicle schedule starts at 11PM. No settings changed on my side. The charger is still set to start charging whenever it's plugged in, the car is scheduled to request the charge to start at 11PM and the charger is confused when the request comes in at 11PM unless I go into the app and manually 'resume' the charge

I've got to keep it connected to the internet because it communicates back to my energy co. to discount my rates specifically for EV charging otherwise, I'd uninstall the app and let it run in truly dumb mode
