Just because the company is Chinese doesn't mean it's using slave labor or abrogates human rights more than other companies. ?‍♀️ -Crissa

The cables will wear out in ten years, and most of the cars will, too. Most Superchargers don't yet support adapters. So it's a bit early to say that CCS1 cars are supported by the system. I fully support the changeover, but charging stations need to support the last ten years of cars, not...

It was a collapsed rideshare company. Not related to the cars, specifically, just not enough demand for the debt they took on. And it was all old video. -Crissa

You could build such a thing forty years ago, during the Carter Administration. -Crissa

Weirdly you guys are complaining about the government being always bad... ...and then arguing for the result the government is taking. What is the negative consequences when safety regulations are required? The negative consequences for pricing pollution and climate change into products? -Crissa

Yeah, but that only works with an analog load. All the power is consumed. Basically, the battery acts as a capacitor in the circuit, and deals with demand spikes. -Crissa

Even a solar panel needs a battery to power something. ??‍♀️ -Crissa

They are what? How? Should the government just... leave communities without charging behind? Should they pay for chargers that only one company benefits from? -Crissa

Which is it, man? It can't be both. The government should be in the market meddling to make sure the safe things, the least environmentally costly things win - and that consumers don't lose when the standard they bought into is deprecated. -Crissa

Yeah, but when you put it in as a destination, it tells you how full or empty they are and will offer suggestions of other ones which are less full nearby/on path. It also preps your battery for charging. -Crissa

There are hundreds of thousands of CCS1 vehicles on the roads today. There will be two more years adding hundreds of thousands more, at least. To complain about the administration's choice to support those vehicles throughout their lifetime is to be rather disingenuous, isn't it? -Crissa

Do you use the Tesla navigation to select the station for you, or do you just roll up? -Crissa

That's what administrations are supposed to do: interpret and implement the law. There are hundreds of thousands of CCS1 cars on the roads in the US, and two more years of them before Ford and GM switch. Both are on track to make another hundred thousand onto the roads each year. So yeah...

No one in this thread said that. More variety in charging devices, places, companies, yes. Ports, no. -Crissa

None of those things say they can't make profit on 50+K vehicles (the ones being discussed). And not making a profit is not the same as losing money. -Crissa

I don't think anyone does, but they're actually putting wheels to the road with their own supply chain now so... I'm thinking the Bolt was more like Tesla with the Model S and today it's more like GM is Tesla just starting Model 3 production. Those first nine months were really bad. -Crissa

Do you really think they'll sell fewer than they do now, and their margins won't improve? That's TSLAQ level doubt. -Crissa

Well, my first cell phone was in 2002. And it wasn't mine, it was 'ours'. I got the hand-me-down phone until my HTC Evo 3D. But we've always been tech savvy. Spouse was a design engineer for cellular test equipment when I met her and I was doing database programming. -Crissa

That's why I haven't had a phone with a custom charge cable since... No wait, I never did. Even my first cell phone used a standard barrel connector. Tho its charger was a cradle. -Crissa

This means what, though? Bolt sales outnumber each thing not Tesla. They even outnumber Model S. And they did it having to recall all of their batteries they'd sold over four years. You don't slow charge at a Supercharger. And a Lightning will take twice the time to slow charge at any given...
