Meh . . . two years away for the R2 and loaning them $100. Seems like they announced to try to get more runway. Hard to believe that $45K price will stay 2 years from now too. I hope they succeed, and the vehicles look nice, but I am pretty much done with 2 year waits and deposits.
And no date...
I got an email from my insurance company (State Farm) about a new free program called "Ting" today. It is a smart home monitor to look for arc faults in your wiring, and to prevent house fires. They are providing the monitor for free (normally $99) with three years of monitoring from the company...
New (Yesterday) install for my truck that I park outside, that I was using an extension under the garage door until last night.
ONLY Tesla I will ever buy - Universal Wall charger to be ready for NACS someday. 😂
I have also found that little lock symbol to be sometimes unreliable. I either push the lock button that is in the car when getting out, or push the bottom two numbers on the door pillar to lock the car if I got out and forgot to do the former. I do not trust walk away lock, and it is a pain in...
I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago and went into the Vinfast store at a mall. The cars just don't seem "right". Part of the issue I think is the lack of a driver display just like the Tesla - although someone said they do have a HUD. Anyway, I was not impressed.
I ordered this yesterday for pickup on 10/31 at Best Buy to use as an outside charger for my Lightning. Now that everyone is going NACS in the future, I think this is the best option to be "future proof" and also to accommodate those who come to our house who will have a NACS connector as EV...
Hoping Ford rethinks the value proposition of this. They had it priced correctly out of the gate. No way I am spending $1,600 a year on this between my Mach E and my Lightning -as much as I like it, not worth that much more.
OK, all you people smarter than me and that can make apps - we are soon going to need a "Charge Buddy" app instead of the "Gas Buddy" app as EA is now moving to location pricing so we can find the cheapest juice on a trip.
You might want to try a product other than wax. I have had good results with 303 Graphene. Easy to apply, and does a tremendous job of water beading.

Lots of videos out there too on YouTube on different...
While I have not totally given up on PAAK, I keep a fob in the car at all times. If you worry about that, you can put it in a faraday bag. Me, I just leave it in the center console, and lock the door with the keypad, just like I would if running or going on a bike ride. I don't want a situation...
