I live in the SF Bay Area (rarely below 35F) and buy my "anti-freeze" washer fluid when I am in the Sierras, or visiting Reno. I only add it when going to those places (or just before going). I don't fill up full full and I add water when I get back home (where it barely freezes, ever). So if...

CA requires that HYBRIDS have a 10 year/ 150K mile warranty (including PHEVs). I know of no special law in Calif for pure EVs.

Stop by sometime when someone is charging and ask. Maybe wikipedia was wrong.

And V3 Superchargers started rolling out in quantity beginning in 2021 (I think) - there are a LOT of them now.

Oh, and there are (since early 2023) a few "Magic Dock Superchargers " with CCS plugs + credit card readers: https://electrek.co/2023/09/26/tesla-expands-superchargers-non-tesla-electric-cars-us/ Magic Dock locations have a an adapter built into the station so you can use the Tesla app...

According to the " Frequently Asked Questions " at the link I posted above : Generation 3 and above Superchargers will be enabled for non-Tesla vehicle charging throughout 2024 in a staggered rollout. Generation 1 and 2 Superchargers will not be accessible using the Lectron Vortex Plug.

Info on the NACS -> CCS1 adaptor can be found on Lectron's site (take with a grain of salt) : https://ev-lectron.com/products/lectron-tesla-to-ccs1-adapter-tesla-supercharger-to-ccs1-adapter-compatible-with-gm-ford-rivian-mercedes-nissan-500a-1000v Personally, I am wondering how "plug and...

You should look at a mobile app called plugshare. (It is also a web site at plugshare.com). It is completely free and a great way to find chargers near where you live - very important if you can't charge at home. You can configure it to only show certain charging networks, or certain types of...

I don't think that the warranty is over. the charging socket is part of the "charging system", and should have an 8-year, 100K-mile warranty, not the 36-month warranty for everything else.

Bring it to a dealer ASAP - it should be covered under warranty (since it is a 2019, hopefully you bought it after May 2019). At any rate, it seems that the charging socket is part of the "charging system", and should have an 8-year, 100K-mile warranty.

I seems that the closer they get to a "real" fix, the more denials are issued.

Am I mssing something? Is this any different than simply setting "Hilltop reserve" (for older Bolts) or setting max SoC to 80% on newer Bolts? Well, I *suppose* that it does have some diagnostic features that will warn if it detects bad cell(s) ...

Heree is a link to the Emporia User manual (PDF) so that you can search the document on your computer : https://www.manualslib.com/manual/786787/Emporia-Rl1.html

ChargePoint aren't much better along that route. A little, as you can get to Blythe (a dual unit install east of Palm Desert and a dual unit site in Blythe) but you can't get from Blythe to Phoenix just on ChargePoint. They also should install a 3-4 unit site near New Hope. (Or maybe near the...
