was at willows, CA yesterday - there is a 4 stall EA site at the Walmart… 3 of the 4 stalls were dysfunctional and the one stall that was running was "power reduced" the 12 supercharger stalls @ thunderhill raceway however worked great and provided a reliable and simple 150 kW charging...

the North American Tesla network has more stalls and better reliability vs. the hape-hazard CCS1 network the network does not have the "top speed" of the 800V CCS1 options, but in practice from 2018 to today the 800V 350kW EV chargers have not be reliable or plentiful vs. the slower, but more...

where in hte bay area are these chargers? and V4 Superchargers are still an open question as to their max power…

nicely done - but still maybe a schooss optimistic - but I won't quibble…

new app - download from app store as of today - only shows up in the "whats new" tips when you first launch the app - there seems to be no way to get to "new NACS" settings at this time so it's listed in the "what's new" tips but seems to be unavailable in the app at this time we'll see.

any vampire drain will deplete the 12V battery very quickly - there is not much capacity since they don't need to do much … 12V battery is typically not covered by warranty any more than brakes are - it's considered a "consumable"… the dash cam is likely root cause here - but also the 12V...

one of the most powerful questions I learned later in my career (as a computer software engineer/manage/architect) "What are you optmizing for?" many times decisions are driven by unspoken optimization goals…forcing people to articulate what they optimizing for sometimes helps everyone realize...

this is what’s hard it’s nearly impossible to determine if a given charging site is 400v-mostly flying blind basically the only thing you can actually do is _HAVE_ the booster - trying to predict when/how you'll use it is a fool's errand in my opnion - you as a driver don't control the voltage...

this remains my point - it's close enough as to not matter - but it's gone well beyond not as good as Porsche…and for a 4000-6000 lbs street car that is doing daily driving duty…well I sort my potential cars into two categories: crap not-crap most cars that most people buy are "crap" in...

J1.2 engineered the battery such that the booster is no longer required - it can now charge at 400V/150kW (or more) natively there is much debate about the "necessity" of the 400V/150kW booster for the J1.1 vehicle's - it all depends on how many 400V/150kW fastDC chargers you plan to use -...

as to if vendor "A" is +1 vs. Porsche or Porsche is +1 vs. any other vendor - that is a constantly moving target…and on any given day one car may or may not equal the other and by next year another advance will give one of the vendor's an advantage until the others catch up… but realistically...
