FWIW, I have used a NEMA 14-50 with a JESLA since early '15 and couldn't be happier (I had the setup done for a previous PHEV and another EV). (Note the Jdapter was not available when i got it in 2016). The tesla UMC is a great base EVSE with the swappable adapters, it is great for both...

I have a 2014 B-class with premium and multimedia packages. I have the becker map gizmo and for the sakes of me I can't find where to plug it in. There is no slot in upper or lower glove compartment, and I can't see where Mike plugged in his - maybe you could post a picture (things didn't change...

Hm. Sorry for off topic; My opinion with having used both is that touchscreens (as long as not terribly designed- maybe the leaf's is) end up being safer (why? maybe less eyes off road and less cognitive tax, but I hope some empirical studies look at the differences)

Hmm, not really, I am getting a Jesla and 40A is it's max; and before I had a modded Panasonic that gave 24A. I'm carrying my little padlock :)

Thanks bcurious; how do you do this?

The issue is that for the sort of scenarios mentioned some results are undesirable (and possibly dangerous/illegal) - If you have a mobile/portable charger you own, it's great to have a way to secure it, because it can be stolen. Tesla will lock their UMCs into the car; when locked, optionally...

Where did he plug it in? Do you have the Plus Package? I see no place in the glove box to slot that box in or any type of connection.

Has anyone done an analysis of the app traffic to the back-end (posts, get etc). It could be theoretically possible to either mimick those calls in a better designed app/site; or do a 'host' html app/site that loads the original site internally and wraps it with new html and just hooks to the...

I heard from a dealer pricing for 2015 models was released Wednesday; and they are starting to offer leases but can't guarantee delivery date for the west coast states as well beyond "sometime in april/may"

CHAdeMO stations are great (who uses SAE??) - especially if you mod your Be to get a JdeMO ; but I'd also like to encourage high-amperage L2 (haL2) installations with more frequency; cost per station is lower and it can be easier to arrange with quasi-destination charging (hotels, lunch, parks...

(Super helpful JeffRay, thanks. One internet for you!) I have no idea, in the past we have bought our MB and any other car locally... I'm assuming moving a vehicle would cost like $1500 which would pretty much offset approx 30% of those savings. Any experience with such costs? But good to know...

Hey TheStig, thanks a lot. I appreciate the effort. If you had them both to a side leaving some room for someone else, or do they take up the whole of the back seat? We are looking at upgrading the seat for the older one to a Clek Foonf which is only 17 inches across, and also we can stagger...

Thanks! We may upgrade a carseat to a Clek Foonf or Radian RXT which are thinner (16-17 inches) than other fatter models. The idea would be to have: // [carseat] - [carseat] - [adult] \\ I would not have guessed it would have same interior rear space than an E500. Seems really room then for...

Thanks GlennD. Definitely I hear you about taking an existing inventory car. (Alas, not every car company is like Tesla). The one with the range extender and options is the bluish one; not my favorite. Anyone else has some recent reference points for leases? If the 2015 model has noticeable...

Hi All - newbie here, glad to find a small group of enthusiasts. Any pictures of your B-Class with carseats in them? come on, you must have them. I'm trying to figure out the fit for 2 car seats in the back. The Leaf does an above expectations job of leaving space for a (thin) adult in the...
