General EV Conversation
Same, Nov 24th! I've been using it more, and the one mistake it made yesterday was I was on a stretch with an arrow light for a left turn lane (it was the only stop light), and although I wasn't in the left lane, when it turned yellow my car started to stop, I had to hit the throttle to keep going. There was nobody behind me so nobody needed to slam their brakes, but had someone been behind me, it would have annoyed them at the very least
Got my universal charger installed yesterday. 60 amp breaker. Getting 45 miles per hour of charge at 48a/240v. Didn't really need it, but it was almost free with referral money, so all I paid was the installation cost. Wanted to get a licensed guy out anyway to do a long list of things, so he cut me a deal. That wire from the breaker box to the charger is expensive.
congrats bob. you may not really need it but it sure is convenient.
i think my car can take 11kw AC but i don't think it usually happens at that rate and i think it's because of the scheduling settings. i can set when i need the car charged by (say 8am) and if it starts charging at midnight, it's got plenty of time to charge (my typical charge is from 40-50% up to 80%) so it doesn't need to go at 11kw, it goes slower which is better for the battery.

it was close to that with the Foundation Series add-ons, but you can order a non-Foundation Series now, with quick delivery, without the 20K upcharge. You don't need to be a reservation holder to place that order, they are open to all now. So the buyer here got a good deal.
