Who has or is planning to get an electric car / EV Talk

You’ll see that more often as Tesla opens SC up for other manufacturers cause a lot of those do not have the charging port on the rear left, and the cable length does not really support any other location on the vehicle besides the right front I suppose but am not aware of any EV having the charge port in the right front

I could see a lot of resentment from Tesla owners as they should be getting charged an idle fee for the blocked stall.

Dongle anyone?

I can see that…
As for dongles, afaik the charging cables on SC are water cooled, so dongle is questionable

It might have been. But typically you put your final destination in, then let it pick the SC for you as needed.

Next time I’ll test it out. But I don’t really need SC’ing much.

LOL Yes neither do I. Most trips are from and to home. And come to think of it, when you put it like that. I don’t think I’ve ever put a fast charger as the final destination. I’ve always had something else, and just added it as an extra stop.

Tbh I just had to look one up.

Not really for me. It looks very flat. I like the wheels.

Oh wow much nicer than the ****** Prius we’ve had. Never seen that one. We hated our Prius so much that we got rid soon, and I had to make up to my wife so we got an anti Prius; Mercedes-AMG GLS 🤣

The new Prius looks even better in person vs the pictures. And they decreased the dangerously slow 0-60 to a much safer 7.2 seconds which was 10.5 before.

I really like what they did…

I wonder if your polestar will manage it better if you set a L3+ as your actual destination? A destination L3+ that is at least 2x the distance it takes to precondition.
