Typically at a Tesla Supercharger, there will be one or more charging stalls that are located on the left side of a section of spaces rather than the back of the space, so accomodate the minority who can’t back in or are towing.

Two things can be true: the driver-side rear quarter panel can be the best spot to put it and it could’ve worked best for a head honcho at the company.

I’m not sure parallel parking or compact parking is better than having to simply back in to a traditional parking row.

I’m sorry if this is how you’re finding out that you, the consumer, end up paying the extra cost of a tariff. I wish you had known before the election.

That’s some impressive mileage! My wife’s Model Y is at 24,000 but 18 months old (16,000/yr, and she only commutes 9 months per year). A lot of that has been some long trips, NH to Florida and back, to Toronto and back, etc. EVs do indeed make good road trip vehicles, despite range anxiety claims by non-EV owners. I…

Hyundai Ioniq 5N

Saw this surprisingly relevant meme image yesterday:

I did watch the replay on ADS-B Exchange and I agree. It looks like they had been using the river as a reference which unfortunately was also the final to RW33

Sold my 1987 Fiero about 7 years ago (wow time flies!), so now my oldest is a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT that I bought new way back then.

I think they are discontinued globally now. I do wish we got them for a few more years, because I would love one of the newer facelift in blue as just another car. I’ve torn mine down and built it into a rally car, only a few bits left missing. In US spec, it literally does not have a muffler which is a large…

Perhaps it would look cool with a scoop, but intercoolers mounted in a vertical orientation seem to work out fine. Mine has vents for the intercoolers down by the fog lights, and the thinnest slit of a vent that ducts up to the top-mounted air intake on top of the engine.

Couldn’t you still use a grill vent to duct to a top-mount intercooler, provided there is enough clearance? And just the general movement of intercoolers away from the top and down to vertical positions.

Thanks! I haven’t had to look yet due to Tesla Supercharger’s marketshare but I’m sure I’ll come across one eventually. I do use ChargePoint whenever I’m in Boston, but I use a slower J1772 with adapter and just leave the car there until I’m leaving the city again

And don’t worry, you won’t have to use Tesla stations if you don’t want to. The Gravity will come standard with adapters for J1772 and CCS chargers

I had been wondering that too. I didn’t see news of it on Jalopnik but I had seen it posted on other automotive sites, pointing to the Out Of Spec Reviews video where they were charging the Ioniq 5 native on Supercharger.

And because of not needing taller tires, can use stock fenders!

Better yet, just a flat glass ceiling where you can stand under the track and watch the undersides of the cars whiz by.

In my personal experience, barely anybody in real life has any sort of negative reaction to it being a Tesla (excluding Cybertruck). More or less an internet trope. The most you get are people who want to ask dumb questions about myths they heard on TV that are about EVs, but not about Tesla specifically.

Agreed. New England is full of Tesla Model Y but definitely way way less Model 3s. Absolutely can be had for under $25k used, especially just normal AWD trim. I daily a 2018 Model 3 with 18" OEM wheels and snow tires and live an hour away from the question-asker and can vouch it is regionally appropriate. (Photo from…

I don’t know if you’re getting a G8 GXP manual for $18k unless it’s pretty close to the end of its life. Here are all the G8 GXP auction results on Cars&Bids (and the ones that don’t specifically mention Manual are probably automatics)
