Aptera wants to adopt Tesla’s charge connector for its solar electric car https://electrek.co/2022/06/21/aptera-wants-adopt-tesla-charge-connector-solar-electric-car/

If Tesla is outproducing everyone combined, why is the EV charging plug "standard" a J1772/CCS hack and not Tesla's, which is clearly much better designed?

Lectron makes one. https://ev-lectron.com/collections/tesla-owners/products/lectron-level-2-charger-16a-32a-with-modular-plug-nema-5-15-14-50-portable-charger-compatible-with-tesla-model-s-model-x-model-3-and-model-y

I had a similar repair done and it was $8K.

Yup it's all one piece.

Is it because the electric motors don't use regular axles? Otherwise it's a very basic component that's already been mastered for centuries.

The lower right looks raised too.

That extension cord looks very thin. I got another one off Amazon and it's very thick, over one inch in cross section. It stays significantly cooler than the UMC charging cable.

Not even a line of code, just a flag from 0 to 1.

Even 80% is too high. If you can keep it below 70% or preferably 60%. In your case I would just charge to 90% since you're not staying at that high SOC very long based on the amount of driving you do. Just make sure it's not charged to 90% until right before you leave in the morning.

Is Depth of Charge more important or State of Charge more important? If I charge to 75% and drive to 50%, should I recharge back to 75%? (Less Depth of Charge) Or should I wait until 25% to recharge? (Less State of Charge)

Even if I granny feather the brake I get hit with the hard braking penalty. The regen braking brakes harder than I do.
