Agreed. My next EV will have to have the 62 kw battery at a minimum or bigger.

yeah. I wonder if they will have a similar production lifespan similar to Fisker...

Anyone know a good place to order a SeaSucker ski rack for the Model 3?

I'm not sure if SeaSucker racks are vehicle specific seeing as they are "universal" but for price and local availability, ModulaRacks in Surrey has it for $539.

If you collect Canadian Tire Money and have a bunch saved up, Canadian Tire can probably price match it (listed for $599) while using your Canadian Tire money towards it. It's too niche of a product to be widely available. For something like this, I recommend buying locally in person than online.

just go for a tesla next time, they have a lot more flexibility for charging.

^^ not necessarily, Tesla uses some special plug so none of the public chargers I've been to plugs into Tesla's. Super store, IKEA etc

Tesla sells adapters.

Do you mean off road capability SUV?

There are Model X, Model Y, Ariya (coming) as SUV. You also have Kona and Niro as CUV. But only AWD are Nissan and Tesla. But I am sure the Koreans will soon have full EV on Telluride and Palisade.

The difference is Tesla will have adaptors to use other plugs (J1772, CCS or Chademo) but all other EVs cannot use superchargers. So I would opt for Tesla on my next EV.

as batteries get bigger, even at Level 2 charging will take quiet some time. So able to use a fast charge is a good backup plan. Even at the going rate, it is still far cheaper than gas.

Teslas come with the ji772 adapter.

Where do I get this JIZZZ adapter?

I think it stopped coming with the vehicle recently but you can order it at the tesla site or at the tesla store

There is going to be a huge wave of plug in hybrid and electric vehicles from many of the major auto companies in the next few years. It is making me wait a few years before upgrading mine or my wife's cars. Technology is moving at such a fast pace now - it only makes sense to increase the number of CUV's and SUV's that are electrified.

Like any technologies, it gets better as time goes. To me, it's the ridiculous gas that prompted me to go EV. So earlier I get in the quicker I start saving on operating cost. Plus gov't incentives will quickly dry up as electrify rams up.

I just bought a Model 3 and it came with one still.

As others said, use an adapter. The biggest benefit to Tesla is the Charging network and the big batteries. You won't need to charge at Super Store and Ikea any more as the battery simply holds more capacity. My current Tesla goes over 500km on a full charge. Over 90% of my charging is done at home while i'm sleeping.

anyone recently got a telsa? i wonder how the fit and finish and quality control is now.

Other than the charge port door sticking out a bit I have no complaints.

Thanks, went to check them out.

One concern I have with these are they are easy to steal. If you're using it for bike rack, you can mount them on and off easily. But different story if you wish to get it for ski racks as the temperature would be cold, wet, and maybe even icy.

Any sort of aftermarket hacks to make these 'lockable'?

^ isn't there Tesla specific racks, I've seen cars with them. That's mounted to the side of the roof and isn't suction.

For those that have EV chargers installed at home is it worth the rebate that is offered? BC hydro website says "Single-family homes can get a rebate of up to 50% of the purchase and installation costs of an eligible Level 2 EV charger, to a maximum of $350."

Wondering if I should just install a NEMA 14-50 and use my portable charger and call it a day.

It depends how much you drive? Cuz I was thinking of the same thing, leave one charger at home and one in the car for emergencies or if I'm out somewhere and need to charge

It was much easier, faster, and ultimately cheaper for me to go the NEMA 14-50 route. At 32A it charges fast enough for me (easily finished over night), and in a pinch, you *could* just unplug your portable charger and take it with you.

Small %, but prone to glass crack with those.
Suction would be easier to remove for the other 10 months in the year.
