I agree with you on this - the big picture moving forward should be interesting to follow over the next couple of years. Now that Tesla has won the charging standard war, Musk seems to be comfortable letting other charging networks step into the breach he created by announcing that Tesla would...

Six pages on the Tesla supercharging network - I am not sure whether to laugh or cry. I feel bad for the Taycan owners who look to Tesla as some sort of charging savior since there is no news coming out of Musk on what will happen with agreements that extend charging access to NACS enabled V3...

Because a V2 Tesla superchargers only max charge to 150Kw speed. Which is why you see on the Tesla map above that there are 3 stops of 40 minutes or more., and two above 25 minutes. Driving on I-40 from Kingman, AZ to Amarillo there are only two V3 Tesla super chargers capable of 250kW on...

Are you crashing in Albuquerque again? If so, stay at that Sheraton off Louisiana. It has a Tesla destination charger. Are you going to measure your trip in the Chargey app again? I have never been a fan of 287 - too much traffic, too many sections of two lane road, and too many ignorant...

Makes a huge difference with what? Are you planning on taking I-40 again between TX and California? The lack of V3 Tesla superchargers between Kingman, AZ and Grant, NM will not give you any advantage over taking the Taycan. Then you have have another V3 gap between Albuquerque and...

I am all for this if it means there will be a robot at a charging location to plug in my EV when it is cold, snowing, or raining!!!!!!!!

Derek made it to his destination. No need for training from me. Shit happens on the road, which is why I don't keep tight deadlines while on the go. Sometimes a charging stop can be 15 minutes or sometimes a stop can be 30 minutes, you never know. Sometimes you could be facing ferocious...

All that and no one bit on the new Beyonce record!!!!!!!! That's what I get for trying to sneak in a little levity into my nut job rants about charging!!!!

Why would a spun off Tesla supercharging network be relegated to become another Electrify America???? We will never know unless it happens. I am sure many people would prefer that a valuable piece of EV charging infrastructure like the Tesla supercharging network be controlled by a less...

Hopefully that erratic nut job lunatic decides to spin off the supercharging network once and for all. It would be best for the EV industry since the guy can obviously not be trusted with such a valuable resource. Now that the team that managed the alliance relationships to allow other car...

I would go Thule bars 100%. I ordered mine from a European retailer since I could not find what I wanted in the US, so you should have options to find solid bars that are also flush with the vehicle.

I have been seeing the recent reviews on the new Turbo e-hybrid Cayenne with the updated interior and larger battery and honestly I am intrigued as well, so you are are not alone @Vim Schrotnock My recent 850 mile/1360km run from Scottsdale to Denver took 16 and a half hours in the Taycan...

No brainer. Ice Grey.

I like my visionaries to be more a$$hole than megalomaniacal, that is all I am saying. Steve Jobs was notorious for being an a$$hole, but was no near the bottom feeding troll that Musk is. Bill Gates was laser focused on creating and expanding Microsoft. He is the exact opposite of what...

I agree with everything you said. Nothing wrong with being a megalomaniacal a$$hole when your focus is to lead industrial change. All that can be done without Elon Musk's penchant for bigotry, racism, anti-semitism, and anti-democratic fascist tendencies..

Let's not make Elon Musk out to be some incredible visionary who created an entirely new vertical. He is not the original spark of inspiration behind Tesla. Space X, the tunnel company, robotics, AI, or any of the other things he dabbles in are all evolutionary progress on things already...

It's all good, you do you. Between Electrify America, the Rivian charging network, State of Colorado chargers, and the slowly expanding Travel Centers of America locations, I can get to everywhere I want to go. Just the thought of giving any of my money to Elon Musk makes me want to vomit.

If I lived in the Pacific Northwest or California I would be way more excited about Rivian opening up their network than Tesla. They currently have 11 high speed chargers open in Oregon and Washington alone, and like 15 in California. They have one under construction in Seattle currently and...

Of all the different types of cancer out there, prostate is one of the more researched and more manageable, if detected early. Luckily, mine was. I elected for radiation treatment, so I have a future of blood work being done every three months to monitor to look forward to besides the havoc...

Jully 22, 2022 I got diagnosed with the big C. Obviously, it was so heavy duty stuff to deal with, so the next morning I got in the CT and loaded the bike on the back and drove from Denver to Idaho Falls for the first leg of my journey to Jackson to hide out, decompress, and cope. The picture...
