That was the exact view I had with my wife. We are savvy and reasonable with our other spending and investment decisions. But we work insane hours, and I wanted her to have something that puts a huge smile on her face in exactly how she wants it. Very aware of depreciation, etc. It was not an...
While younger me would say, I would have a very hard time parting ways with E63S Wagon (because they are ideal ICEs in my head)... after going full EV, I just do not miss ICE. And this comes from a guy who would replace CAT-back before the new car hit 1st 500 miles. I was intoxicated by Jag's...
So to follow up. I ended up spending many hours on text messages, samples, etc., and likely drove Gabriel nuts at Q Care here in the Boston area. Here is the progress. Window tint and then coating next. I have never seen my wife that happy about any vehicle :) .
I was just in AZ and was blown away by the availability of charging infrastructure. I am renting EV next time. I was in Sedona and could have had my pick of networks to use.
I bought CT with 19.2kW on board because I wanted optionality.
Here is the reality for home charging - base charging setup is just fine. To do 11kW charging, you are doing a sub 50A circuit. That is 6AWG wire that is not that hard to run for most electricians. And absolute majority of home...
Since I refuse to give Elon a penny, I went with the ChargePoint Home Flex hardwire version. After reading everything @daveo4EV wrote in one of the more detailed threads, that was the best bang for the buck and max charging capability in my case (my CT4S has 19.4kW option)
We decided to settle on the color and get the car wrapped. If it were my money, I would be all over the CPO with that sweet warranty and just wrap the car in the color I want. And you already let someone else pay for that hard initial depreciation.
TTS vs GTS performance... 99.9% of the time...
I love Porsche... but not $3200 for EVSE much :CWL: Also in MA ClipperCreek 100amp version is not certified for incentives. Interestingly enough, none of the Porsche EVSEs are listed either as approved devices for the upcoming local state-managed charging program incentives.
So sounds like for under grand max one can get is 12kW from ChargePoint Home Flex hardwired as long as it is on 70 or 80amp circuit (https://www.chargepoint.com/drivers/home/installation/flex/)
ClipperCreek claims 15.4kW on 80A circuit...
You live in the US. We have thousands of class action lawyers just waiting to pounce at this. Were you expecting a love letter with profound apologies? C'mon. Let's be real here, folks, and stop mental ma$$turbation on what PCNA shoulda coulda. You are getting $600 to buy something else while...
Torn between JuiceBox 48 and Chargepoint Home Flex hardwired. 48amp minimum for me, though tempted to go with something like ClipperCreek HCS-80, but it seems to lack any ability to track charge history or remotely monitor.
P.S. Not considering anything Elon makes.
When I had 987S, I had a collapsible spare that made me worry less. Is there one that would fit CT4S with standard brakes? Does anyone have one?
What size and does it fit in the trunk?
This wall looks like one of my EE or SE employees or co-founders would have in their garage. Much respect.
I am looking right now at how I could do DC to DC. I have PV system that I specifically speced so I could do direct DC-DC down the road.
