  • If people behave like adults and don’t mind moving their car (as long as they are inside of course and not eating or shopping somewhere), the best case scenario is only one bay is left empty, no matter the numbers of stalls there. By stacking from the end towards the middle with the right side port cars on one side and the left side car on the other, would leave just an empty bay somewhere in the middle. But, I doubt it will be that easy, hence why I might limit myself to V2 at first, as long as it’s less than 50% busy there.


  • I hope so for those already using busy Superchargers. Personally, those that I’m using aren’t that busy, if at all. Often, even in the middle of the day, I’m alone charging. It happened twice two weekends ago at two different eight stalls V3 Superchargers. I was the only one charging for the whole 15 minutes we were there. If it does become s shit show though, I’ll route to V2 Superchargers (still lots of them on my routes) which won’t be opened to other vehicles (lacking CCS protocol) until things calm down.









  • Musk only owns 13% of Tesla, and that was before that Twitter fiasco. There are thousands of employees that work there, not just one individual. I couldn’t care less about him. It’s what the Tesla brand stands for that interests me. If it wasn’t for Tesla, there wouldn’t be a big push to EV like we’re seeing now. Push that is dragged down by big manufacturers doing what they can to slow it down. Do I wish Musk stepped down for CEO? yes, but it won’t change my mind about the company.






  • Some cheap receptacles have their metal contacts going only half height of their slot. If you put a new one, make sure those contacts go full height, just like the pins on your charger plug. Also, make sure the electrician torques the screws to the correct settings. My Tesla Wall Charges states to torque the screws to 5.6 NM, which is tighter than hand tight with a screw driver.
