4S is the sweet spot and IMHO the minimum entry point… I personally coming from a Model 3 Perf. opted for the Turbo - I simply couldn’t stomach the idea of “slower” for more money - so I went for equal for more money.

Tesla Model 3 is very very hard to beat for performance vs. price…Porsche loses here. If you want a great car and a mediocre EV buy the Porsche If you want a great EV and a mediocre car buy the Tesla Porsche does software/tech as well as Tesla does mechanical engineering… Tesla does...

80 amp is 64 amps charging rate for one vehicle… which is 15,360 watts - or 15.36 kW - @ 3 miles/kWh that is a charge rate of 46 miles range per-hour of charge…that's pretty good full charge time @ this rate for 84.3 kW @ 10% charging overhead is: 5.97 hours _WORSE_ case vs 5 hours for the...

clipper creek HCS80 has share2 function where two HCS80 ‘s can be configured to share load off a single breaker

_IF_ it were to do this you would most likely need the Porsche Home Energy Manager to do this - but I'm not sure if it will manage total load between multiple (2 or more) Porsche Wall Chargers… I'm very interested in one of these - but so far it does not appear to be a "thing" in North American...

if it's a 60 amp breaker and wire it's safe it's probably a NEMA 14-50 receptacle - and it's probably a NEMA 14-50 EV charger (EVSE) which mean it's configured to only pull 40 amps there is no way for the EV charger to "know" there is a 60 amp breaker/wire - and it think's it's a 50/40 amp...

that is the charge rate of 9.6 kW “raw” - which is a 50 amp break (40 amp charge rate) - what charger are you using and how is it configured - with 60 amp breaker (48 amp charge rate) you should expect 10 kw or more shown in the vehicle during charing.

there is no denying Tesla’s influence on the industry - people can throw rocks all they want - but this _IS_ the Tesla business model

if you had only installed a 50 amp (breaker) - (40 amp charge rate) -the screen would show something like 8.8 kW instead of 10.4 kW… the 10.4 kW means you’re using the full 48 amps (60 amp breaker).

Tesla.com does not show me that price as the cash price - right now at this moment I can't get the Model 3 Performance to your price I'm not paying Elon for FSD 58,990 is the price before "savings" _NOT_ including potential savings (which are BS BTW) how are you getting it to 71k?

no question the Taycan looks and drives better - but again I'm just saying "if you're bored" you should test drive one - they are a hoot - they have their drawbacks - but also their charms - personally I'm done with Tesla for now - we'll re-evaluate in a few years - but as a car person I like to...

it's not that bad - and most people can't tell the difference, but everyone can feel acceleration just visited the AMG site CLA-35 is 4.8 sec - 47.9k base before options CLA-45 is 4.0 sec - 55.9k base before options C-43 is 4.5 sec - 59k base before options C-63 is 3.8 sec - 70.6k base before...

Base price before options of the M3 line up - nothing there quicker 0-60…BMW brakes will be WAY better than the 3 - but mpg of 22 vs. 110 mpg - and BMW maintenance isn't quite that cheap either - no maintenance on the 3 - and the 3 includes "driving aids" - so it costs more, is slower, and uses...

I"m simply wondering what is our there in the low 3.2 sec AWD 0-60 and low 11.4's for 1/4 mile for $59k out the door…

https://insideevs.com/reviews/343552/tesla-model-3-0-to-60-mph-how-quick-is-it-compared-to-other-teslas/ 3.2 sec 0-60 for the Model 3 Performance 3.0 sec 0-60 for Taycan Turbo w/Launch Control so I was wrong - I’ll update the posting but the Model 3P _IS_ faster than a 4S - which is why I got...

just to remind everyone - I didn't say go buy a Model 3 - I said go test drive a Model 3 for "fun" - they are nifty little run about - and quicker only slightly slower than a Taycan Turbo for about 1/3rd the price - you should have an idea what all the fuss is about - and then you can get back...

It should be noted that for levels 6 and above the newly available North American Porsche Wall Charger for $1600 is probably _GREAT_ choice - it has adjustable AMP’s so it can fit most _ANY_ install and provides support for charging from 20-80 amps (24-100 amp 240V breakers) - if you’re going...

so 13” (or 12”) is required for building code - cause they don’t want to much exposed wire… so there is no function difference as I noted, but it’s a building-code/safety/requirements thing.

no reason - a supply cable is just wire with a plug on the end - short cables are cheaper and 13” seems about right for positioning the charger vs. the plug - also the longer the cord the more “hassle“ it is to manage, hide, prop up or simply keep it out the way - also for 240V wire there are...

i saw and reacted - what an awesome write up - nicely done!
