All (DC only) NACS to CCS or CCS to NACS adapters are dumb adapters. Just rearranging and adapting pins. There is no communication to the vehicle nor the charger happening. So any failure to start charging is really on the charger or vehicle (and vast majority of the time it is the charger due...

I'd be interested to hear if the updated version does solve this. I'm probably not keen on swapping out as it is only a maybe minute or two inconvenience and eventually NACS will be swapped over or NACS chargers will be in the areas I go. This problem though just goes to show how bad CCS is as...

My A2Z still works and mostly works great. The only issue I have is how tight REMA cables are to the adapter. It can be a tiny ordeal to get it to separate on them... and sadly the charger I use it most on is a REMA cable. As for how much I use... once or twice a month. I frequent rural areas...

Driving east on I70 from Denver to Kansas City at ~60mph, it is not only possible... but likely! Definition of edge case though.

That's odd... I drive through it all the time in the winter and never had it stick like that. I even left it for a couple months once and it mostly washed off, couple small spots the barkeepers took care of. Mag chloride will etch clear coat very quickly, especially on modern, very soft paints...

If you wash within a few days after, you won't get those spots. If you don't, a little barkeepers or equivalent will take them right off. Mag chloride does that to all finishes, just more noticeable on stainless. I got my truck in November, been all through Wyoming and Colorado winter, ~10% of...

If you keep the CT at or under 70 pretty consistently, you should be getting great efficiency. It really starts falling off a cliff there and 80+ is a pretty large hit. Second factor is temps... and more cold than hot. These cells like to be >50f and close to 70-75f (truck will attempt to heat...

There's a much less intensive way to get this answer 123,000/339=362.83. Just know the rough amount of battery in Wh and divide by the number Tesla gives you.

I've used a matte one on each of my Teslas... makes a large difference in prints and glare. At this point I'm not sure I'd make it an hour without installing.

With my CT, three things kill efficiency.... speed, wind, and temps. If you can avoid those, you'll see very efficient numbers that no other EV truck can even come close to (even if you do hit these, the CT is still very efficient in comparison). On speed, keep it below 65-70 and it is...

Just to clarify for OP... it is 50 lbf-in (5.6 Nm). Don't go torquing those tiny bolts to 50 lbf-ft... you'll bust everything. :ROFLMAO: Odds are the screws just lost a bit of connection through the years an heat cycles. Checking the connections should make it clear.

It is a screw and bow tie setup. The screws included are probably 5mm too short to be easy, but if you fiddle a bit they thread in. The piece that attaches to the l track actually has the circles machined into it, so once they are in the l track and tightened… they sit solidly in there (also...

This divider would probably be a good option there. As long as you're not hauling a heavy generator and not tying it down... the 'weakness' shouldn't be an issue.

I have this sectioned divider. It works really well for my use case with it. In my case, I'm not using it to contain heavy loads. I use for when I go my cabin carrying a few big bottles of water, cooler, and other odds and ends. It is never enough to fill the bed, so I section off the area...

The A2Z is a good unit. Just know it is a tight fit on some CCS chargers (especially those with REMA connectors). It takes a bit of a wiggle to get it separated sometimes.

I've only used one V4- with the 325kW unlock and it was more of curiosity test than anything else. I do use a 350kW CCS station (1000v capable) on a longer stretch I have routinely. It is one where I have to have a deeper charge (a ~5-75% sort of charge). In that instance, it is actually quite...

It absolutely isn't a myth, at least in comparison to Tesla. In my experience, EA is the best >150kW non-Tesla network right now. And somewhere between 15-20% of the time I have had some sort of issue. Whether that be slow charging, stations down, payment issues, etc. Only a couple times have...

100% there is real, lab verified data that shows where the degradation happens and the impacts... and that living in a certain range is best for battery health. It is just that in the real world there are so many factors that the impact just isn't that big. 150k miles on a 300 mile battery is...

Unless there is a manufacturing issue, you won’t notice much difference in degradation from staying in the 20-80 range and driving it to 2% and charging up to what you need at a given point (ie just don’t go above 80 all the time). Yeah there is lab proven data to show it stresses batteries more...

The idea of NEVI is good, the execution has been poor. Very few states have managed it well and actually worked to have the funding serve areas it was designed to. Colorado is probably the best example. They spread out the bids and specifically targeted areas that were/are underserved. Next...
