^ I thought you had to be joking with that joke, but I searched on it (didn't dare watch the video), and indeed the video really has that quote (and more!)...

^ Thank you for watching that video on my behalf so I don't have to discover on my own how Elon can accomplish all that thanks to ketamine.

If only the crystal-encrusted plug handles were color-matched to my custom Taycan fuse box cover. Seriously though, I agree that VAG (and its 9% partner Siemens) will most likely consider/approach a path to business viability after the consent decree period expires at the end of 2026. What that...

All excellent questions -- I look forward to learning the answers over the coming years! Question for you though: have you found a list of NEVI awards won by Tesla? Since these are won on a state-by-state basis, perhaps no such spreadsheet/database exists for awards broken out by state and...

Jealousy and obsessing about what ... Elon has on a personal level? Definitely not! Jealousy and obsessing about what other people have in access to all TSCN V3 and [pending] V4 chargers? YES! Based on my access to V3 chargers with the automatically deployed Magic Dock CCS1 adapters, yes, more...

I am well aware of such costs for the owner/operator. Which is exactly why I have in other posts elsewhere pointed out that the spread between DCFC per/kWh prices vs wholesale kWh prices is not a meaningful indicator of profitability (even if demand chargers are included). But once a DCFC...

re "Whether it is profitable revenue is hard to say for sure; the prices they charge aren't cheap and can be upward of $0.50/kWh ,so presumably, they are at least breaking even, if not profitable, on variable cost of electricity." ... I'm surprised that Magic Dock pricing spans a relatively...

Okay, our household is guilty of that! But all the houses have two-car garages yet all the households (except ours) have only two cars.

All charged up: ... and somewhere to go: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/location-location-location-post-artistic-photos-of-your-taycan-with-scenery.2117/page-34#post-304098

I've been looking forward to taking (and posting!) these pictures even since I bought my [new-to-me] CT in late August and took delivery in September. The ski touring was also good: https://www.strava.com/activities/11334232970 As for driving a Taycan up this road, my 4CT is not as fast my...

YES! Elon could lay off all the employees working on marque identification and authorization for the pending waves of different car manufacturers. In return, Tesla gets lots more revenue in the short-term. Longer-term repercussions of Tesla drivers enraged by the influx of CCS1 refugees...

Tell that to my subdivision neighbors whose cars are always in their driveways! (Or should I ask them what's in their garages...?)

Agreed! Although prior experience in a specialized industry can of course be good, both EV Connect and EA are such miserable half-hearted ventures with indifference toward reliability that the corporate culture there must make for an undesirable professional background. Perhaps during his...

^ That's a good piece, thanks for posting. This part though is somewhat misleading: One example is state departments of transportation, which are now in the process of determining what companies will win awards to build charging stations under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure...

EA self-promotion is outstanding, no need for improvement there! The puzzling part about its actual substantive plans for the future is that the plan has not been released yet. Specifically, the CA-only investment plan (which is accountable to a CA state agency) for the final 2.5-yr cycle of...

I had been about to provide my opinions on your four topics: Beyonce's new country album = I am vaguely aware that Beyonce is a musical performer of some sort, female, right? Electrify America = The consent decree $2b sure would have seemed to me like a good idea at the time, but apparently VAG...

Our household's experiences with my wife's i4 and my CT at the Magic Docks in Enfield CT, Brewster NY, and Clark NJ are so totally unlike anything we have experienced in the Northeast at any other network. (Although I hear consistently good reports from the NY state-run network, but I just...

So happy to be greeted by my CT at the deserted trailhead at sunset after this far longer than expected ski tour: https://strava.app.link/vrCgNG0jfJb

FedEx. I was not home at the time, but my wife signed for it.

My timing was almost exactly the same. But I would have been fine receiving it weeks or even months later. Compared to the total amortized cost of Porsche ownership, $600 is trivial, plus it's an entirely unanticipated bonus payment anyway. (I submitted the receipt for a Tesla Universal Wall...
