    Trying out a Tesla - > J1772 40A rated plug adapter

    Nice idea but I think you'll be disappointed if you try it on a Tesla Supercharger (if that was your intent). That charging requires a "handshake" to get electricity which anything other than a Tesla will not provide. A destination charger, however, will work; no "handshake" required. But...

    Forgot to ask when you were here: what camera are you using for all these great shots? Nothing better than early morning departures especially when the sky has a bit of a personality!

    I was going to ask whether you were going to try Key West. I didn't notice chargers but a couple places you could have used the Tesla tap. Did I ( or anyone) mention the app PlugShare? Great in a pinch. I think that's how I found Gulfport Outlet mall and the destination chargers/J1772s...

    Electrify America completes 400 charging stations

    I think he was trying to say all EA has to do is pick a site and build. They are prefunded with money from the fine; they know where the money is coming from and there is not much downside to not doing anything rapidly. The sites are out there but the ones I have seen are rarely used. On the...

    Just saw Willie last week in Orlando; I know the tune! Your "cosmic" stay must have conjured something: 77mph at 7777miles. There has to be some significance. Lots of sevens in that shot. ALSO: Rocket Launch: March 6, 2020 11:50 PM EST | SpaceX Falcon 9 CRS-20. Cape Canaveral. PS...

    Been there and done that, too. Although the "been there" was Chattanooga and there were no Border Patrol SUVs. Sleep well out there in the pitch black? EDIT: Well, sorry, I was quoting and replying just as you were answering the questions I had.

    Copper Mountain RV Park 39886 E County 9 1/2 St, Tacna, AZ 85352 Call ahead. Very nice and accommodating, especially during summer off season. Not much to do, so bring a book. Very clean and fairly new. Via Plugshare app.

    Checking out the "Marfa Lights"? Or, putting a driver's car through its paces in the mountains of West Texas? Doubt charging infrastructure will allow you to continue on US90 through Del Rio, Tx ; but I-10 should be scenic as well.

    Guess that's a way to recover their $2 Billion dollar diesel gate fine. <EDIT>I perhaps stand corrected upon further research: Though Electrify America is housed in the same faceless office complex as Volkswagen’s U.S. headquarters, the settlement calls for it to operate as an independent entity.

    Teslas do not do that. Opening the frunk requires the key fob or the frunk button on the Media Control Unit (MCU)

    Perhaps the cat is not too keen on you appropriating a cousins name on your license plate?

    Taycan fire in Florida garage

    Objection, your Honor. Mere speculation. Tesla fanboy has nothing to gain. But what about the people who want to scare you away from an electric vehicle? There are roughly 170,000 car fires per annum in the US and they are rarely (perhaps only locally) covered. Light up a Tesla or Taycan...

    Well, I am learning all sorts of things on this forum. The latest Universal Mobile Charger is different than my generation 1 model. The manual seems to imply it checks circuit based on the plug inserted (e.g. NEMA 14-50). Will have to check auto manual as I know something adjusts amount of...

    I no longer have a " drive for 3 hours" capacity. :blush: The Tesla charges rapidly from a low state of charge (SOC) (5 or 10% to about 50%); maybe 15 minutes. So on road trips I rarely (unless absolutely called for) charge much higher than that. In fact, I take the charge/mileage necessary...

    Guessing if the Porsche Universal Mobil Connector (that is a thing, correct?) is anything like the Tesla's, one plugs it in and the electronics check the circuit and use or limit accordingly up to 80% of the circuit rating. The resulting amperage shows up on my screen.
