@h_thoreson If you are using it in the cold, you *must* precondition the battery. This heats/cools the pack (former more likely in winter) so that it will accept the stronk fast charging. Most problems in Winter charging are caused by the pack having to be warmed before it will accept a charge. It all sounds scary but it's not. It's just a different way of running a car.

@h_thoreson Most grocery stores have some level two parking spots; you can work it into your routine.

@h_thoreson I had a Tesla for a few days and having a gas station with a supercharger set at the end of my street made it pretty easily. Your savings in petrol will be offset by buying snacks in the concession, though.

@h_thoreson It really, really depends on your use case. If your commute can be covered by lvl 1 charging (can you do even that?) it's tolerable. Chevrolet recommended lvl 1 if it's less than 40 miles a day.

Failing that, you're into fast charging. If you can find one nearby it's not bad at all, depending on what KW your car can pull out of the charger.

@finner It's such a bloody racket.

This rain is something else. 24hrs of it now.

@andyc I knew he was in it but I thought he was doing alright. Things happen so fast at late stage cancer though.

@why Some weird weather at the moment.

I used to chat with Craig a lot about his illness, having been on the fortunate side of the coin myself. Fuck cancer.

@joeo10 @craigmaloney Oh Fuck, really? Oh no.
