I see the value and the gen2 tesla UMC is a bargain buuuuut $250 seems like a lot for what is essentially a rewired extension cord, these things can't be that hard to build. I give cheap knockoff companies a few months before they start cranking these things out for half the price, or less.

Soy based wiring insulation, that's actually kinda funny, my neighbour has a 2016 Tucson so all the rats should spend there time over there, I'll be safe in my driveway, We have 2 cats plus all the neighbour cats, rodents aren't prolific around us for some reason.

Fair Enough, now we need to find a lower priced "tesla tap" and we're in business, although 300+240 is still not bad for something reputable.

That'd be great but I'm not seeing it anywhere near that price even used stuff is a bit more, a new "tesla tap" is like $250 without the UMC. I've seen articles of a past sales of tesla UMC's for like $300 but I can't find them anyone now, all back ordered I suppose.

they're getting cheaper for sure, I "want" 32 amp or higher but I guess 2 amps don't matter terribly. My biggest issue with these brands is the mobility, I want something easily transportable and stoweable to be used on anyone 14-50 outlet. How often will I do that? I dunno maybe never.

In this part BC were 8 cents low tier and 12 cents high tier rate plus running fees, it's safe to assume with grid tie you'd never bump up into the 2nd tier and utilities buy back surplus power at I believe 10 cents as a credit payed back in cash yearly, my maths on a wholesale self installed...

The Zencar does seem a little bit better then similar priced competitors with the RFID card selectors and you can also get them from amazon. You've got to wonder what happened to switches? shake it? tap it? how is this cheaper or more reliable?

has anyone used some of these cheaper chargers coming up on ebay? They seem to be getting down into the 400 usd range https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2322090.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.X40+amp+evse.TRS0&_nkw=40+amp+evse&_sacat=0...

You can through the infotainment centre, there are various ways to set up the fob/locking feature the vehicle personalization section, check your manual.

I can't foresee any logical reason it would begin tapering it's charge at 50%, right when the chemistry is at it's most viable.

rgmichel, EldRick, Unless you're driving 50% of that power away you guys should really review your energy usage habits. Anyway an expensive product like a "powerwall" really only makes sense when tied to a point of use power generation system like solar or wind or whatever you got going on. If...

Pretty pricey, especially for what is essentially "half speed" fast charging

I don't see how you'd be in danger of discharging the airbags doing what you describe, If you're real nervous you could disconnect the power harness for the seat, that'd keep the airbags quiet. Side note, I have a 2018 on order and test drove the 2017, now I don't have the same seat issues a...

In theory you can use off peak charge settings to dictate what hours you're charging is active, you can set this to a time you know you won't be charging (like a time after you leave for work) and in theory use priority charging for other times of the day or if you want it to charge up...

In 2028 when my bolts battery is fading to the point I'm having trouble driving to the wall to take my shift defending our nation from the muto-savages of the American wastes that I might be able to upgrade my power electronics and perhaps battery cells to accept a higher power density and...

And there's still a few models yet to report numbers, I would expect bolt sales to pick up when they start delivering the 2018MY.

If I remember correctly from that same inside ev scorecard the tesla 5k a week goal wash pushed to July? It's in the model specific breakdowns.

For plug in it's higher then 1% in the USA and higher in most of Europe.

You'll here arguing to the contrary but according to all recent testing and study lithium chemistries are typically happiest in the middle of the SoC, so around 50% and un happiest at the top or bottom, so in the lower and upper 20%. It's important to know that just how these batteries are...

Or set your off peak times to when know you're not going to be plugged in, like right after you're going to work. All that aside I think the battery will condition weather it's plugged in or not down to about 30% SoC? If that's the case just don't plug it in unless you want it charged or maybe...
