I was thinking with all the changes it might be a good time to bring back a fleet update.
Weird, my SCv2 station is now open to other brands, but it's the last revision of v2. My friend's friend was caught in the SC Team purge, but was hired back in a higher role by just saying he'd work for them again. Their was internal and leadership issues, it was apparently easier to start over.
Wait, where is this supercharger? I didn't think any V2 were open or even could be opened to non-Teslas. Outside of Europe, that is
The trouble with thicker cables is they are a pain to handle and position to insert into the car. Literally a pain, as I currently have 3 damaged discs in my spine. I can manage it, but it hurts. The one thing that EV charging still lags behind is usability for those who have physical limitations. My 83 year old mother and my friend in a wheelchair will both struggle with 300A cables. Maybe both of them together would manage that NACS cable with the extra handle? Most Petrol / gas stations have an attendant who is happy to assist and the hoses are just much easier to work. Even where we have chargers at gas stations locations, the gas station attendants are usually reluctant to have anything to do with the chargers as they are operated by a different company. If they do help, it's purely out of good will.
I put thick cables between my legs and draw them further out, so that the plug goes straight. Not sure if that helps you, but I thought I should let you know. Cheers!
How did you clone yourself and drive two cars at the same time? 🤔

Great video to watch as a Portuguese. We have a solid network, but the confusion of apps does not exist. We have a public network and 2 private ones. The privates are one from the largest supermarket group and they only have chargers on their locations, in private property. The other is Tesla, but they "can't" expand more because the attribition of electrical lines specific to charging stations depends on the chargers to be on the public network. The public network is unique, because everybody can sell energy for any charging station. The fight here is for price, and some companies sell energy very expensive. The price has 3 components: the electricity seller, the owner of the station and the government. Being able to activate any station from any provider is great and makes the access very easy, but it makes the price be very high. And, finally, credit cards are being implemented...
I hope to get an EV in the next couple of years, this gives me hope that it will be just as easy as owning a gas guzzler.
It puts you in Africa because the app defaults to Lat 0, Long 0 before populating with the correct location, but I'm sure you already knew that...
Good video. Where you stopped in berry Hill is the old 100 oaks mall lol. You gotta see the theater at night it's pretty cool looking.
Question for Robert: which adaptor are you using? I have the Lectron one and getting the NACS cable off it can be an absolute pain.
I have the A2Z Typhoon. The slide lock is slightly irritating, but it's much lighter than the Typhoon Pro
babe wake up, 40 minute aging wheels video just dropped
The Tesla app could actually be starting you at Null Island. There's no actual land there, but its a common default location for maps because the coordinates are 0⁰N, 0⁰E.
I figured that's what's it's doing, but it would be pretty easy for them to make it default to my last location or even the US rather than null island
I've noticed the same in the Tesla app when charging my Bolt.
dinner entertainment. yay!
As someone who bought an EV6 last week... I'm mildly anxious watching this
I'll spoil it for you. The thing charges incredibly well and the CCS network performed admirably. The only let down of the EV6 is the built in nav, but there's no need to use it unless you it's cold and you need to precondition
Ah! A good reason to stay awake a bit longer!
