I simply meant they might raise the price if a incentive was available. It was a joke, not a reason to write a short story.

Really? Then why is he asking what we think? I offered him my opinion, I’m not forcing anyone to do anything.

As long as they don’t raise the price, by $7500.

Keep it, and invest the amount of the payment in Tesla stock?

I assumed it was paid for. Obviously, I shouldn’t have.

The safe bet is to keep the model S. The payment on a Y will be a lot of money.

I have a Chevy Bolt, which has a camera monitor in The rear view. You can use it as a camera, or a mirror. I prefer the mirror because of presbyopia. It doesn’t require my eyes to refocus. The camera is still useful if the line of sight is blocked though.

They are in NNY and other areas in NY, MA, also the UK. Voluntary special time of use rates can be obtained by providing a registration from your electric car. The special rates make sense if you can shift some load to night time. It’s around 1 cent a kWh at night, and and around 8 cents at...

Bummer. National grid has “Special Time of Use”, you have to provide an electric car registration, you pay more during peak times and much less from 11-7am. After one year they provide a break down of what it would be under standard rates, and you can switch back if it didn’t save you money...

I’d say that too. Free has an appeal all of its own though. There is a free on near me that is around 25 kw, which would be twice as bad.

Here in NNY, there are a couple of DC fast chargers that’s are free, but only one that has chademo. Those are definitely an exception, not the rule.

Charging at home, especially if you have lower rates at night, is much cheaper. For instance, I have national grid for electricity. If you have an electric vehicle, you can get Special time of use rates. For me that’s roughly 0.03 per kWh at night. My bolt has a 60kwh battery, so it costs...

They made cars like that at the end of a run, because they broke the dies on the stamping machines.

These are in areas where there is no DC fast charging. These are also chademo and CCS. Sorely needed on 81 and the thruway. EA chargers were often down, and there were none in Watertown, Syracuse, Plattsburgh, etc. Upper NYS was a fast charging desert.

In NYS, NYPA has begun building a network of high powered chargers. 50 miles apart https://www.nypa.gov/services/clean-energy-advisory-services/evolve-ny

The Chevy Bolt has a cool setup. The rear view mirror works like a regular one, until you flip the lever at the bottom. Then it’s a camera monitor. Useful and practical. Works well if your view through the rear window is obstructed.

Supposedly two buildings in Austin, separated by a road for Tesla Semi. Covered, I think? Battery production, Model Y, the Cybertruck, and the Semi will be made there, I believe. It’s possible/likely that there will be other buildings on the property. They also bought a second property, I...
