Agreed! (And especially in contrast to a certain EV car reviewer...) And looked like it had been made fresh on site (not that prepackaged refrigerated version sold in some supermarkets)! Kind of amusing how in the prior video he praises the public charging infrastructure as being so well...

Wow, that’s weird - I hadn’t noticed that! AI was so impressive in removing the trees and trying to imagine the snowpack and topography behind them, yet also added a nonsensical “VF” in between two words and also degraded the rest of the text quality in the sign.

Yesterday I charged (at a whopping ~5.X kW!) at the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham Notch Visitor Center complex while on a short ski mountaineering outing Mt Washington in New Hampshire. I was thinking that the view would have been spectacular but for the pesky trees in the way. Then I...

Yes, looks just like my own Tesla unit at home. Pay via the Tesla app just like a MagicDock:

The nine units are on the edge of a vast parking lot, which is full (or nearly so) only when it’s used for shuttle parking during the Killington World Cup races over Thanksgiving weekend. Otherwise, Pico has been the forgotten stepchild ever since it was bought by Killington, with each...

Pico ski resort in Vermont yesterday. (Closed for the season, but still great skiing via skinning.) Tesla Universal Wall Chargers, payment via the app. Instructions to park diagonally, but … in which direction? And why? I was the only car charging, but I wonder how it works during the...

I’ve had great results from them matching a single tire after a pothole blowout. Also a great resource for getting some totally random tire for setting up an emergency full spare.

Yes, despite the Audi badge, it's just a slightly nicer ID.4, which is rather undistinguished. I didn't say anything to my brother-in-law(-in-law) about it, but I was really surprised he recently bought a Q4, instead of, say, a used Ioniq 5. When my NEVI brother-in-law bought his Q4 new, at...

I should have clarified: He acknowledges that his company's NEVI station doesn't work. He shrugs off suggestions that his company should so something about it (after receiving, let's see here, $631,622 in NEVI funding). Probably not worth bothering to make it work now, given that wandering into...

So on Saturday afternoon, my wife's brother, the CFO of the company with the failed NEVI station (the only NEVI station in all of VT, NH, MA, and CT), was driving down from Vermont to Western Mass to the house of my wife's sister for the "second" night Seder. (Yes, the actual second night of...

Ah, now I remember -- available in the Taycan staggered 21" but not 20". (Some of these staggered setups seem like a conspiracy to induce madness via tire model available! Our i4 is the same way...)

Woah, that is one interesting tire etailer -- when I entered a 20" Taycan setup, all sorts of brands appeared that I've never head of previously, e.g., Atturo, Cosmo. Same on searching for our i4, e.g., Zeetex, Evoluxx, Arroyu. Also, unless I'm overlooking something, the website seems to lack...

In the U.S., the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 prohibits a warranty denial based upon that. (A tire with the wrong size, load index, speed rating, etc. -- sure. But Porsche can't deny a warranty claim just b/c the tire doesn't receive its equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal.)

Michelin CrossClimate2 if you want it to do double duty as a winter tire. Otherwise, Continental DWS 06 Plus.

Wow:

I would usually excuse that at age 89, but if you're still able to get into and out of a Taycan, then you must still be in better physical condition that many lift-served downhill skiers I see out there!

If you're not an aggressive driver (at any age -- although I'm especially impressed by anyone still driving a Taycan who is a full three decades older than me!), then any performance edge of a summer over all-season is going to lose on a total year-round basis by having to run your winter tires...

Yes, that was a subject of widespread discussion, but the specifics were always lacking. When I set this NEVI db: https://evstates.org/awards-dashboard/ ... to include the categories of Conditionally Awarded, Awarded, Under Construction, and Open, total funding is $572.5m and Tesla's share is...

I can see how that would have worked as an inducement at some ski resorts in the early years of EV adoption. Now though, reliability would be a bigger draw. But I don't know of any ski resorts in northern New England with a decent chance of getting a plug on a weekend. Even on a weekday, this...

Certainly make sense in that context. In my context: The choices are kind-of-slow L2 vs even-slower L2. Nobody there cares in general, especially since given the free charging I suspect it's used almost exclusively by people who just want free kWh, rather than by people who really need it for...
