Only thing that bothers me about gas stations are those damn little mopping robots in QTs. I swear they stalk me and try to cut me off everywhere I turn.

could have been a v2 charger where i believe the 'capacity' is shared so you may not (likely won't) get 250.

i haven't supercharged my new model Y yet. will report back when i do.

But I must say I’ve never seen any charging stations like the pics above. Never seen any with a cover and I’ve charged in Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Vegas. You’re living in EV capital.

Exactly. Charging stations like that don't exist on the east coast...they are in weird spots with nothing around, nowhere to eat or get a coffee etc. Walmart parking lots and behind Comfort Inns etc. The new Bucees on 81 is the only one that is remotely like that and their chargers are around back with the dumpsters and you have to walk all the way around the huge building to get in, but at least you have something to do for 25 min.

I lost the same amount of weight with just a shot every week and I still eat whatever I want, sounds way better to me than dieting and exercise lol

being aware of your 'journey' as you've shared it with me, i am in awe of your determination and discipline without resorting to drugs. don't let haters make fun of your huge accomplishment.

Just to be clear I was absolutely joking with what I said. Meant no "hate" whatsoever. I'm as lazy as can be, losing weight without the help of these medications is incredibly hard...if it weren't for them I would have lost zero weight lol

I've never shared a charger. Rarely been anyone else at the supercharger when I was there.

Wasn't any different for my son's 3. All 250kw chargers. I was the only person there. 20 kWh in 14 minutes at 34 cents.

Ev sales are not too hot, CHDM is pounding everyone, and domestic mfgs are in need of a bailout.

So everyone gets money.

Nobody is paying people to buy these Tesla's coming by the truck load.

Nobody paid me to buy two of the best sellers in California. I'm just wondering how much Toyota pays you

To be fair, we did pay you to buy those Teslas and those on that truck likely were all ordered prior to the expiration of the tax credit.

Every Toyota I ever bought Toyota paid me factory credits. My last Toyota I bought (Sienna) they gave me $6500 factory credits which I used as part of my down payment. I didn't see it that way when Toyota gave me the factory credits, I don't see it that way when I bought my Tesla's, which I would buy again and again, with or without the tax credit. Also remember, Model 3 and Y were best sellers here even when they ran out of tax credits
