General EV Conversation
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

I still don't want to live in an HOA but there are tree branches from where one fell from the storm, a big Leyland Cybres. It was cut up and placed on the side of the entrance boulevard.
It's annoying me. When our trees die, we pay good money to have them removed. We just had two removed, it cost us almost a grand.
You can't enter my neighborhood without looking at all that crap and I'm sick of it. Still, it'll get dealt with eventually and I don't want an HOA.

Thats just it, with no HOA how are those limbs ever going to get removed? You can try and get the county to do it.

My neighbor had a big branch come down right next to my property line and she never did anything about it. Her lawn service just has been mowing around it, so I paid to have it cut down and removed because I was tired of looking at it. Had there been an HOA they would have handled it and billed her.

Who knows. I'm not going to do anything but I know someone who lives in here will. SOMEONE will start raising hell somewhere and somehow.

I was very impressed with the actually smart summon teaser they shared recently. I remember the early days of summon where I was in an empty parking lot and it was very jerky trying to get it to come over to me

Gettting up over 80k miles on my 3 year old Model 3 dual motor long range. I also bought the acceleration boost that makes it faster than a model Y Performance.
Love how easy it is to own, and just get in and go. It’s been a terrific car. When you put 30k miles per year on a car, not having to fuel the thing with gas really reduces cost of ownership. I also charge at work about 1/3 of the time so that also helps a ton.
Starting to look at trading in on the new Highlander model 3 performance, or go back to a nice big substantial Lexus like a 16-17 LS460, or certified LS500. Even a base model S could be in the picture. The main thing that has been driving the desire to get back to a large Lexus is mainly that I miss the solid feel of my old LS, but I also want to drive something less frantic and aggressive. The Tesla attracts the worst people on the road and it’s grown annoying. So many people get all sorts of aggressive around me in that thing. Yet I’m invisible and ride serene when I’m driving our GX460. I’ll have to decide if it’s worth it over being able to run the climate control at any point (makes a nice makeshift home office), autopilot, etc.
