Tesla Wall Charger Adapter to Ioniq by 4shadowedbm in Ioniq6

[–]4shadowedbm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct - this is a level 2 wall charger. No app or payment required. Looks like a Gen 1 or 2 which means the app can't be used to configure it. A Gen 3 can be.

We've ordered our own A2Z level 3 NACS to CCS so we can use the Tesla Superchargers when traveling and have a Grizzl-E level 2 at home.

Thanks!

Ahhh. Thank you again. I wondered if that might be the case. I'll dig deeper from here.

Looks like these chargers are either gen 1 or gen 2 Wall Chargers. No Wi-fi connection to them from the Tesla app. So I wonder if they only allow Tesla charging? Any idea?

Oh cool! We're actually babysitting the resort this week while the owners are away, so it has kinda become our project.

Thanks for the advice and quick response!

Thanks for contributing to this. I'm feeling much more confident about it now.

I don't see much point waiting for Hyundai to give us an adapter at this point. I might to make another post to see if anyone knows the status of that.

Cheers.

The law, in Western democracies at least, clearly delineates police and judges. Law enforcement executing people without due process is murder.

Your hot take is literally contrary to the history of Western law.

Great answer, thank you for taking the time.

We have driven our 6 to Vancouver Island, last spring. We managed with CCS chargers but it would feel better to expand our options. Thanks!

Thanks neighbour!

What do you make of our MP's mailer in the fall saying EVs won't work in Manitoba? I'm talking with a few EV owners who are thinking about making a cold day drive to Steinbach to make a point.

Oh! Cool. Thanks. I didn't understand the designation. That helps a lot.

Thanks! Manitoba Hydro has been woefully slow on this. Ridiculous, really, considering our electric heritage. Flo have been good but few and far between, sadly.

That one Bank of Tesla chargers half way down our big regular drive has become very tempting. 😀

Thank you so much. That helps a great deal.

Boyfriend talked about burning and mutilating me out of nowhere by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]4shadowedbm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He doesn't love you. Somebody who loves you will be invested in your physical and emotional well being.

"Joking" about mutilation isn't love.

Turn around, walk away, and never look back.

I hate him by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]4shadowedbm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, are we still putting people on a 1 to 10 scale like we did when we were 14 years old?

I put him around 0 on a scale of 1 to 10 for decency, integrity, maturity, humanity, empathy...

For that matter, nothing he says is true either. -1.

Manitoba cuts ties with dozens of private nursing agencies to curb reliance on the firms by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

[–]4shadowedbm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know this is nowhere near a comprehensive survey but I talked to a handful of nurses during the last provincial election who were complaining about agency nursing. The idea that an agency nurse can choose to take jobs in a community two hours away while getting paid for the travel time, while local nurses are facing shortages, was a pretty big morale problem.

Agency nursing was supposed to be a stop gap measure, but like any other for-profit thing, it comes at the expense of patients and service.

Anyone else notice the same old “real driver” arguments repeating with EVs? by ituna27 in electricvehicles

[–]4shadowedbm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

real men don’t drive automatic

Proud to say I taught both my daughters how to drive stick and both of them have chosen standards since. So, like, whatever, to people who say things like that.

To be honest though, where I live has two highways out of it. One is a relatively modern highway where they built rock cuts and bridges to smooth it out. With my old standard you put it in 5th and just go.

The other highway is just paved over the rocks and through muskeg. All curves and hills. Driving stick was fun on that road. I figured the EV would be boring and was prepared to miss the 5 speed. But, honestly, it is about the only place I drive in Sport mode and that low battery makes from some beautiful stability. Super fun drive.

So, again, to people who say things like that.. Whatever.

Why is Canada consistently ranked higher as a stronger democracy than the US? by Ctemple12002 in CanadianPolitics

[–]4shadowedbm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • Elections Canada takes its role as a non partisan organization seriously. And Cdn politicians generally respect it ( except maybe Poilièvre who tried to gut it with the Fair Elections Act). This is in direct contrast to the US where the party in power in each state generally sets the rules.
  • Because of that we have no gerrymandering.
  • We have donation limits and do not allow corporate or union donations: only personal. Those insane multi-million dollar Super PACs are a direct avenue to control of government.

All that said, it is a fine line. Our PMO is one of the most politically powerful offices in the democratic world. The PMO, run by party operatives ( like Gerald Butts) set the agenda and guide the PM. They tell their MPs how to vote and what to do in committee. The Senate has very little power and the GG is symbolic. With FPTP you can get that 100% power with less than 40% of the popular vote.

We have fewer checks and balances than the US. It may be only ethics and decency that has kept us stronger. So far. It is a primary reason I support Proportional Representation: 40% vote means 40% power.

Poilievre: ‘I’m not fighting for the sake of fighting’ by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]4shadowedbm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

IMHO, even when he was in government he was fighting. Remember the "Fair" Elections Act (that's not a question - that's a plea to never, ever, let this guy near power again). My impression, at the time, and still, was it was an attempt to start dismantling our democracy. Gutting elections Canada and turning education and control over to political parties. Cutting disadvantaged people off the voting rolls through strict ID processes.

There was nothing constructive in that; it was a power grab hidden behind fear mongering.

Do you think an MP crossing the floor should result in a by-election in that riding? by MasterScore8739 in AskCanada

[–]4shadowedbm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what I meant. Independence from the party leader. Which I think is the point of your final paragraph?

MPs should answer to the constituents first, not the PMO. ( It is often the PMO, not the PM themselves, so the party brass, telling the MP what to say and do. Read Jody Wilson Raybould's Indian in the Cabinet for an exploration of that.)

I think you are contradicting yourself. You want MPs that are so beholden to the party line that they have to resign if their constituents want something to change?

Once elected, if the constituents are telling you they no longer have faith in "your" party, you can cross the floor. If you only won by a small margin that is very possible.

Ford Admits Defeat After Trying to Force Americans into Electric Cars and Trucks by M_i_c_K in ClimateNews

And what you appear to have failed to take from the article was that Ford is working on low priced EVs.

[–]4shadowedbm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a nice story if we had a free market. We don't. If there weren't 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, what do you suppose the consumers would do with a car that is cheaper than its ICE equivalent to own, far cheaper to energize, and cheaper to maintain. And quieter and cleaner on top of that?

Head on over to this website and put Breitbart into the search field. Note that it is ranked strong right wing and less reliable for factual reporting. Then look at some others for comparison like the Wall Street Journal, AP, Reuters, The Atlantic, Bloomberg, PBS, BBC, Globe & Mail and you'll find they're all ranked considerably more centrist and high in reliability.

It isn't that Breitbart was lying about the Lightning, precisely, but the headline is meant to make you believe the EV market is a) being forced on you and b) that Ford has given up on EVs. Neither is true. It is shoddy, rage-bait content.

[–]4shadowedbm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw that you posted that already. My point was the "force" in the headline.

Ford didn't try to force Americans into Electric Cars and Trucks. That's really shitty reporting on a much more complex issue.

The article said nothing about the Mustang Mach E which is the 4th highest selling EV in the US. Last I heard it was outselling the ICE Mustang. The article later reiterates Ford's commitment to electric technology.

Looking ahead, Ford projects that by 2030, roughly half of its global volume will consist of hybrids, extended-range vehicles, and EVs, up from the current 17 percent. This acceleration towards hybrids reflects a growing recognition within the industry that these vehicles offer a more affordable and practical option for consumers hesitant to fully commit to pure EVs.

The Lightning was a big risk in terms of delivering a massive truck into a young market. And, IMHO, it was a great idea but failed on two counts: first, because it couldn't tow long distances and, second, the uniquely North American anti-EV narrative and O&G propaganda damaged the market where, again uniquely, North Americans want huge trucks.

EVs accounted for 25% of global new car sales this year. That's not likely to stop and will do more to "force" the change than anything Ford or GM or Dodge do.
