For the last couple of months, something has really been grinding my gears, but I figured it was a fad that was going to go away.

I picked up my new Tesla Model 3 in October 2019 at the Salt Lake City Delivery Center. Since then, I’ve been very pleased with the Tesla Supercharger network that allows me to travel cross-country on Interstate highways with only a little inconvenience compared with my previous trips in gas-mobiles.

A couple weeks ago, we covered Aptera’s buried announcement that it will be using the Tesla/NACS plug for its vehicle.

One of the main barriers to widespread electric vehicle adoption is the need for growth in the charging infrastructure available. Fortunately for Tesla drivers (and soon others, too), the Supercharger network is fairly large already and is always expanding — with a recent update even leaking the locations of several of the automaker’s upcoming charging […]

Tesla is adding Superchargers week after week across the world, but where should its next Superchargers go? Always a fan of crowdsourcing, Tesla is asking customers — well, customers on Twitter — for suggestions on future Supercharger locations.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said several years ago that the company would open up its Supercharger network to non-Tesla electric cars — automakers just had design cars that were compatible and contribute to the cost of developing the Supercharger network. Despite some hints after a couple years that some automakers were planning to team up […]
