larger battery adds weight and minimal range and cost. ( ..diminishing returns..).I get about 260 miles with the smaller battery and that, in the real world, is fine (for me)...pee stops and food stops typically coincide with charging.
I just took in my car for ANA6 recall update. It took about a month to get the appointment ..but they did give me a loaner. Much to my surprise my Service Advisor told me that they might keep it as much as 2 weeks!.(altho it might take less)..why? because, he said, they are doing them in...
The very first time I charged the plug got stuck - quite an introduction!
I have seen it subsequently fairly often and have found that releasing via the PCM (Charging | ....) is highly reliable. hint: act fairly quickly since it sometimes relocks itself (in my experience)(if you still have a...
In my personal experience, the EVolve chargers that show in the EA app or web site DO allow free Plug n Charge (which surprised me, to be honest ..but I was happy!)

I've actually travelled that route this summer and it went well (I pretty much stuck to the interstate system). A fair number of EA chargers (and New York State has, also, EVolve chargers that are associated with EA and give free Plug and Charge also). Syracuse itself has an EA charger and 2...
I got on a waiting list at Gold Coast and after about a week or so they called and scheduled for Sept 9 (with loaner). We will see (and report) how it goes.
I love to stay at hotels that have chargers. In Niagara Falls, NY recently stayed at hotel with 2 Tesla chargers. I used my Tesla Tap (for the first time) and it worked just fine. Ironically, I found myself charging next to a real Tesla and they were interested in how I was able to charge. Also...
The locking situation bothered me until I realized (from a post on this forum) that I can link the folding of my mirrors to locking the car. In my garage, I do NOT want to lock. In public, I simply check the mirror position to know if I have remembered to lock....
I just traveled from Long Island to Albany and then on to Niagra Falls and back. And I actually went to the EA charger in Albany. Like almost all EA chargers (and EVolve, a New York Stare effort that sometimes uses EA chargers), there were problems..BUT, I was always able to get something...
