    New Tesla Service Center - Columbia, SC

    I'm guessing it is due to them operating in a bit of a legal grey area.

    12.3.4 Intervention within first 3 minutes

    You can have it choose a speed automatically, but you can also set it to follow limits or limits with an offset. You don't have to speed with it if you don't want to.

    Tesla Lease South Carolina

    AFAIK, that is just a parts distribution center and will not affect the sale of vehicles. Changing the rules for sales would require legislation at the state level, and that seems incredibly unlikely.

    Supercharger-Covington, GA

    Is this going to become like Wal-Mart, where they can't put them in the parking lot so they put them in the adjacent parking lot? It is kind of funny that this has happened both here and at Commerce, GA now.

    I'm on teslamate 1.28.3, tesla 2024.3.10, and an Atom. So far, I haven't seen the issue.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    That makes a lot of sense. Some solve it by having a L2 inlet on both sides, but I'm sure that adds cost.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    They seem to be focused on getting to hands and eyes free on the highway. I think that's the most immediately useful function anyway.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    I really don't understand why people are so sceptical of their timeline. They've launched three products into volume production with remarkably few issues. Their production execution of their strength.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    They aren't as bad off as they appear, tbh. They still have well over $7B. My biggest concern is the early stages of launch can be really expensive. They'll need every $$ at that point.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of those are issues that Tesla faced as well. Tesla did manage better gross margins, though. Also, Tesla didn't make the mistake of needing an entirely new factory to launch Model 3. Tbh, I still think the timeline for the Georgia plant is Rivian's largest ongoing...

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    Given the shape ground clearance, and range, this might actually be the strongest Model Y competitor so far

    Superchargers needed at the N.C. beaches

    I've seen low cost builders put in two laundry rooms complete with 14-30r just so the buyer would have options Having an extra outlet is no big deal. The ones at that house are decent grade too. You don't need massive penetration for $100 of parts on a new home to be worthwhile. As others...

    Superchargers needed at the N.C. beaches

    Tbh, it probably should be code. Afaik, all houses with gas ovens still get a 14-50, just in case they swap to electric. If we can manage that, why not an outlet in the garage? But I'm sure there'd be a lot of pushback.

    Supercharger - Greenville, SC

    I'm guessing the other supercharger Is still up? At least I hope so. I wonder if the hotel was getting tired of the constant traffic? It always seemed like an awkward site to use.
