    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Glad it's getting better Salty. I've been learning more about driving the Kia EV6, mostly about getting better range. Wow driving on 55 mph highways is so much better for range than an interstate. I drove to visit my parents and take them to lunch in my new EV6. I drove there on the...

    Really small cruise ship?

    There is a small cruise company named Uncruise. The sizes of their ships go to to yacht sized. Just depends upon the location. website There are many canal boat companies in France. Those go do to something like 6 people, maybe even 4. Your group could have the whole boat to themselves.

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    I agree that the tech will just keep getting better. When they offered a 5 year warranty extension I passed. First the Kia EV6 has a 5 year "bumper-to-bumper" and 10 year drive train (including battery) warranties. Second, I don't know that I'll own it past 5 years, and if so, I seriously...

    Oil - not good

    It's a Continental. The plane is a Cirrus SR22. So, it's a IO-550.

    Oil - not good

    I don’t think so, need to relook at the annual statement. That was just over an hour flight to Nashville.

    Oil - not good

    Got this pic from a partner. Said he saw some oil spray on the windshield when landing in Nashville today. The plane just finished annual a week ago on Friday, and this was the first flight. Looks like my wife and I will be driving to Charleston on Tuesday instead of flying. :(

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Depends upon your car. My Kia EV6 has no built in EVSE, not even for 110 v. I need to have something with a J-1772 plug on it; 110v or 220v. I bought a ChargePoint charger and put it on a circuit with a 50 amp breaker; which can run continuous at 40 amps. It charged up last night in 9:24...

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Not a Tesla, but an EV. I picked up a Kia EV6 GT-Line RWD yesterday. Flew up to Virginia to get one at MSRP. Lots of "market adjustments" by dealers. I figured it was somewhere around $8-10k less than buying it in Atlanta, or many other locations for that matter. A $400 airline ticket and...

    5G: your phone and cell plan in 2022 and beyond

    Yeah, the joke I heard about it was, "We have all this processing power on our phones and what do we do with it? Watch cat videos and throw birds at pigs (Angry Birds)." :oops: Phones and tablets have made huge differences. It is so much easier, and cheaper, to use FF/WingX/etc to get all of...

    5G: your phone and cell plan in 2022 and beyond

    The first commercial 3G network was introduced in 2001. 4G was first introduced in 2006, in Korea. LTE was introduced in 2009. They're more than a couple of years old. Definitely a bummer that embedded systems are no longer working, such as the data in the BMW. Of course, car manufacturers...

    5G: your phone and cell plan in 2022 and beyond

    People need to quit referring to them as cell phones. That puts it in the wrong mindset for too many people. It's a highly portable computer with a phone app. ;) Computer technology moves forward quickly and ditches old technology quickly too. Nature of the beast. We walk around with more...

    Anyone buying a Rivian?

    Definitely a chicken-and-egg problem. I agree, I don't see a lot of EV trucks pulling boats to the marina anytime soon unless it's a really short distance. Hard to get someone to start with no chargers. Doesn't make sense to buy chargers if no one is doing it. The first EV truck owners...

    Anyone buying a Rivian?

    Might not be as good in northeast as it would be in the southeast. Level 2 chargers are the ones people have at home. Also seen at many hotels. They are not as pricey as the Level 3 chargers.

    Anyone buying a Rivian?

    Sounds like the marina parking lot may be a good place for some Level 2 chargers in the near future.

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    I’m intending on calling the AG’s office tomorrow. I want to see if they can or will do anything.

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    In my continuing saga, I drove to another dealer that was advertising a Kia EV6, in the trim and color I want. They don't have it yet. Their website ad for it even says: "Recent Arrival!" It won't be here until the first week in April. So much for "Recent Arrival!" Not that that is far...
