Shoutout to the guy in the dilapidated house on my street who has a fucking Tesla plugged into a regular extension cord running out his kitchen window! (hexbear.net)

Probably a drug dealer.

My lib ass sister (who I still love) is thinking of getting a Telsa but doesn't know if she can get a charger station installed at her place. I was like, sis, just run a cable out of the kitchen window like my man down the street!

A fancy charger station charges way faster. But a standard A/C cable can work.

Going to go down to the tesla dealership and torture the sales guys with questions like "why doesn't it have USB-C?" and "Well my phone can charge wirelessly, why can't this thing?"

lol like a landlord is going to care about infrastructure.

they could be making extra money charging for the power but that would be providing an actual service and therefore would never occur to a landlord

[CW: body horror] imagining a bird melting on top of an improperly installed EV induction charging station.

I know, how long is it taking this dude to charge his car? 9 hours?

Full charge on level 1 is like 40 hours lol. If you're driving like 40-50km a day like most people you can top it up enough overnight though

Turns out.. it’s 3 miles per hour with the normal ass wall plug. More than double if you got the big A/C adapter. Even faster if you got ones that need a technician to install.
