    Today all Teslas come with a lithium ion 12V battery (powering the lights, windows, wipers, display, etc). Prior to 2021, Tesla was still using lead acid 12V batteries. A lot of people wanted lithium ion 12V back then and were suckered into buying these aftermarket ones. I almost did as well. Here's why the aftermarket lithium ion 12V for Teslas should be avoided and are possibly even dangerous. The lithium ion 12V provided by Tesla work properly, unlike the aftermarket ones timestamped in this video.

    Looks like a home made bomb. Shady company too if they’re dodging questions pertaining to it.

    this is ponderous

    Ford leaving an industry standard....and moving to a competitor's device.

    something is up.

    looking at 22 sales...For Ford to move to Tesla connector....what does that do to the industry standard connector(s).

    I guess in reality....relatively NOBODY uses non-Tesla chargers.

    At this point, lets just make the Tesla connector the standard. Elon built more charging infrastructure in 10 years than the Feds could build in 50 years. Open up all the charging stations to all the brands and keep building it up.

    I’d go R1S for sure. No question. Unless they made a RC R1T at 4000 lbs or so.
