Not yet. The car got to calgary at 12:30pm. They do all their service updates through the phone app so I will just get a text message when they figure it out. Looks like it’s inside the shop...

Probably some glitch in the matrix. Be interesting to be a tech there.

Tesla stocks are way up and they are reporting nice profits.

This is a real problem. Tesla chargers lock into the port so people can't come and unplug you. This is important because it means someone can't steal your charge cord. If they did unplug you, you would get a notification from the app saying "charging interrupted at (whatever time it happened)".
Also this is why charging speeds are important. The current superchargers are maxing out at 150kw which is 3 times faster than other 50kw fast chargers. The new superchargers going in along the trans canada highway are v3 with a peak rate of 250kw. 1minute of charging at 250kw is the same as 5minutes of charging at 50kw. The biggest change to driving electric is the charge planning so getting that time as low as possible is very necessary for speeding up adoption.

These studies depend a lot on what the grid that you're drawing from is using. You should check out this video for a really in-depth explanation...

I think an electric service van is coming eventually. Rivian is building a bunch of electric delivery trucks for Amazon. Mercedes will have the first electric van but I think it's more suited to hauling the family around.

I think an electric pickup for the farm would be great. Lots of idle time on farm trucks, in winter they get used as portable warming huts and might be the light plant when the watering bowl is frozen in the dark. I think it would be great to have one.

I’ll have to pay. Lesson learned.

Do you have to pay for the tow to Calgary as well as the repair?
They used to use plastic insulation , now many manufacturers use soy , corn and peanut flavored insulation because that it is environmentally friendlier for rodents.
Had one chew a hole in a PCV water line a couple years back. Those lil buggers will chew through anything.

Yeah, and mice already liked chewing on non-peanut flavoured wires... I’m locking my cats in the garage for a few days.
Ripping apart my dads car right now to see if they have been in it. This is what the front of a model S looks like...
Didn't know that you were Mickey Mouse fan, do you have the hat with the big ears from your youth?
