Ever since the start of construction on my lane way house, I'm dealing with the short term pain of Tesla ownership.

Since I don't have a driveway to plug in to an outlet, charging it in front of the house is not an option as it's a liability issue with City of Vancouver, and I'm aware you can apply for a permit to have a cover on the electrical cord but just another night mare.

Month to date, spent about $60 bucks in supercharging with my monthly trip meter sitting at 800km, which is so not worth it. Once in a while I'll swap cars with a friend just to access his level 2 charger.

EDIT:

Before construction it was a pain free ownership. Plug it in a regular outlet, and schedule the car to be pre conditioned before departure.

And now, we can't really pre condition it because it will drain the battery, and once the car gets rolling with the heater on, it will drain even faster so that's a double whammy.

.
can you not put tiny cones then paint that section of the cord with orange paint?

Yes, once laneway house is completed we will be moving into it, and definitely be equipped with a level 2 charger.

EDIT

Expected completion date tail end of summer or beginning of fall

Walking through residential areas of Vancouver makes me want to pull my hair out. Everyone with Teslas, running extension cords through trees charging their cars. For fucks sake, didn’t you think of this before you bought the car? I think the city should outlaw that 100%.

Yeah, why not just make them pay to pull a square up, lay the wire under, and re-pour the concrete. The city could make some revenue from it.

Those that live in an apartment and have charging at your parking stall, does your strata have a flat monthly fee for charging or is it metered and you pay by usage?

Have a friend that lives in a newer build that has a charger built in to every stall. It's metered from what I'm told. Theirs is turned off since they don't drive a plug-in though.

Damn that must be a bizarre site to see.

I haven't seen any of that in my hood.

thank goodness that doesn't happen on my block, several EV's, tesla, e-mach, etc ... few elderly people on my block go for daily walks, bad enough the tree roots uplift the sidewalk, i can't imagine more tripping hazards. some are so elderly can't afford to trip and take a fall it would be scary.

So I went to Audi to check out their q8 etron. It’s quite small. Like significantly smaller than I thought it would be. It’s basically rav4 sized interior / maybe even smaller than that because I couldn’t sit behind myself with my own seating position up front.

Also the interior is nice but it should be a lot nicer if they want 120k for that. Way too much piano black gloss and the screens are small and uninspired looking. Center console is also weird with the two metal (maybe plastic?) bars running across the sides but underneath is where the cup holders are. You can’t fully cover up this gap so it just looks out of place.

Tesla gen 2 mobile charger with nema 14-50 adapter. Paid $300 to have the plug installed in my garage. Also you can pick and choose which adapter fits your needs. Another reason why Tesla is ahead in the EV market.



14-50 adapter $55
14-50 plug installation $300
Tesla gen 2 mobile charger- came free with car
My total cost $355 for level 2 home charging

I liked the interior. Yes I agree it's small. The trunk was much smaller than I envisioned and it's not really an upgrade in size over the family X3.

I'm not ready for a new car right now, but will be in a year. It's still looking like plugin hybrid SUVs for us. Cayenne E is $140k, X5 edrive is $100k and it's all a little pricy for me. I'm waiting for the full reveal of the Mazda CX-90. The engine specs are great, inline 6 turbo, 340hp/369tq with plugin hybrid as an option.

The X5 is amazing for utility and nothing comes close imo as a package. But if the Mazda comes in at $75k. I can't argue with $25k in my pocket for slightly less niceties, and the current Mazdas are no slouch in terms of build and material quality.

IMO Acura is dropping the ball hard right now. They have their MDX Type S which really is only comparable to a X5 40i without the fuel economy to boot. They have their fantastic hybrid SH-AWD system and aren't using it. It really only needs a slightly bigger battery to boot out a plugin hybrid out the door and they've got a bigger chunk of the market. I honestly would be very curious in a product like that.

Isn't there a full electric gv80 coming out? I thought most of the genesis cars will have a EV version. You can always get a vinfast and I've seen quite a few new outlander phevs around already. Too bad it's not 0% financing or else I'd be pretty tempting

So the new Sony car uses facial recognition to unlock the car. No need for keys or a phone to unlock/start the car. Crazy.

Lexus RX450h+ will be coming in late 2023/early 2024
It will be a Plug-In Hybird (should be using the same RAV4 PRIME plug-in, around 50km since it is heavier)

I am on the waitlist (deposited) since last Nov2022
trading in my RAV4 PRIME

That's going to be pricey as hell. I was looking at the last RX hybrid and it was already over 100k. The Prime drivetrain is going to push it into 120s+?

A NX450 phev is something like 90k out the door already.
