So there’s been some media stuff about Tesla chargers going down or getting long lines in this extreme cold we’re having.
The factors there are complicated and mostly this is impacting people without charging at-home. As it happens, I’m now making a daily commute - just started in fact! And I’d like to report that my car is having no issues at all in this weather, and I haven’t even plugged it in to charge in a few days.
@TechConnectify@mas.to there’s been a decent amount of federal money flowing into local projects to install more fast chargers, but with what they cost I wonder if we’d be better off showering places with tons of cheap Level 2 chargers.
It’s a huge problem if there’s contention for a handful of fast-charging spots, but if you know wherever you go there will be a spot that can charge your car over the course of several hours, that would be a huge help day-to-day for those without a home charger.
