Like I said, they used to, doesn't sound like they still do. Don't believe me, prove me wrong

That was hard.

That's just level 1, the standard 120V outlet trickle charge. Not what we were discussing, but if they don't even do that anymore...

Maybe it was a promotional thing?

If a permit is required, you can bet the inspector will look real hard at your service. I had an inspector cost me a lot of money, I installed an AC in a home using an existing 30 amp breaker not being used, he made me upgrade the service regardless of the fact it was an abandoned CB. System required 30 amp 250 volt, the breaker was 30A/250vac.

There I fixed it. I’ll let google know.

If you purchase a new Tesla vehicle, it won't come with the bundled level 1 charger. You can buy one, but it's probably better to spend that money on a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. Tesla's high-capacity lithium-ion batteries are expensive as hell to change and can’t be extinguished if a fire starts.

"No longer includes" meaning, they did at one time. So thanks for proving me right

When are you ever wrong?

If you actually read what he posted, it says nothing about installation.
And it's about the level 1 charger.

"Tesla USED to include either a NEMA 14-50 connector (level 2) or a dual voltage (120 V) connector (level 1) work on all its vehicles."

This one time, at band camp.....

What's your source for that quote?

They did used to provide that like the first year. I think it was valued at $2,500.
They also gave people FREE UNLIMITED charging at any Supercharger in the country.

What happened before has NOTHING to do with the current state of EVs.

Still waiting for you to prove me wrong.

I didn’t even think about how water would affect them. We have street flooding quite often. Maybe it’s not salt water, but still not a good idea to drive in it with a high voltage car.

There are videos of a Rivian driving out I to the water with a boat trailer. Like up past the wheels deep.

I mean…we can do this for the next 100 pages, until someone shows some actual statistics:

This sounds like fun. I'll even add one that I took myself...of a Ram truck...on fire...in the middle of rush-hour traffic...

For those truly afraid of the fire risk, Google any battery device in your home along with the words “caused house fire” and then circle back to this conversation.

more importantly is how far can you pull a travel trailer with an EV truck? Or how much are you going to pay for replacement batteries when these fizzle out after a few years or how much actual petroleum actually is needed to mine the cobalt, process the cobalt and where is the power coming from to charge EVs. Commiefornia is asking people to not charge their EVs as its straining the grid. Great idea but the world is not ready for 100 percent EV Hybrid maybe but not EV
