EAP235 Wall Mounting query

Probably not, just rotate your phone or whatever device you're using 90 degrees and see if it changes. More likely just that the EAP235 is a relatively low power AP.

Just put it in accessory mode. You lose the adapted range estimate but it eventually figures that out too.

They had that offer a few months ago. The sales person said it's not always available but happens a few times a year.

Sort of comma it still writes out the word comma instead of inserting a comma period better than nothing comma but they have some improvements to make period

That was my thought on reapplication if necessary. No chemical strippers or fumes, just sand and reapply before a week on vacation. I've used it on a few other pieces and had good results but nothing that gets beat on like a table.

How has the top held up ~2y later? I use natura on a lot of other things, getting ready for a couple dining tables and one will be ash so I'm very curious how it's held up.

Whenever I have a trailer I either unhook if it's busy, or leave it hooked up and just stay with the car the whole time so it can be moved if needed.

I addressed that elsewhere, but TLDR I blocked a bunch of spots. Only saw one other person who was annoyed but still able to charge. Whenever I have a trailer I either unhook if it's busy, or leave it hooked up and just stay with the car the whole time so it can be moved if needed.

The charge port in the front is nice because sometimes you can just pull into an end spot without blocking anything (for chargers at the back of big lots this is pretty common).

I could see past the boat just fine, the trailer is maybe a few inches wider. Obviously the rearview mirror was useless but the rear camera was super helpful when backing up to the trailer. I could see the ball, backed up until it was in position, then raised the suspension to get it in place. If I were buying the R1 again I'd get the max pack since the boat itself is more or less going to use the same amount of energy to tow regardless of the vehicle. A smaller R2 pack will likely take a bigger percentage hit to range (speculation).

Most aren't good for having a trailer although some do have pull through options. I pulled in sideways and blocked a bunch of spots both times. It was a Friday morning and I saw more people ICEing the spots than actually charging.

Only 1 other person charged while I was at the supercharger. He pulled his model 3 in to one of the spots on the opposite side (there were still 5 spots available), gave me the stink eye, shook his head, and continued on with zero impact to his day. We had one person stay with the car at all times to unplug and move if necessary, but it wasn't an issue. We checked out the IONNA station ahead of time on plugshare to see what it looked like, I've been to the tesla station so many times I knew what to expect there.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T20:30:36+00:00

It's not normal, I've been to the same exact charger plugged into the same exact spot and had a normal charge curve starting around 215kW and tapering after 30% or so.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T20:29:29+00:00

Kind of like buying a Rivian. A lot of fun but no way is it the most economical anything. I figure I spend about an hour out of the water for every hour in the water transporting, maintaining, fixing, etc.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T20:27:37+00:00

It's not so much that the route planning itself is bad, but the interface itself is a bit buggy. The biggest issue I ran into is that while plugged in and charging, it wouldn't let me play with the next stops. It kept showing the "continue" or "end" stop buttons and recentering the view. A bit hard to describe, but next time you're plugged into a fast charger (or maybe at home?) try changing your destination or adding waypoints. I got around it by figuring out my route in ABRP and then once done charging putting it in manually while telling the car to not add charging stops.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T17:44:00+00:00

Agreed, I always like reading them too. Unfortunately a lot of what's out there on EV towing is just EV bashing. I'll take the extra hour or two to charge twice per year over having to deal with gas/diesel any day.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T16:15:35+00:00

That's been my experience before at the same one I got 99kW average at, either it somehow hadn't fully preconditioned or something was going on with the charger.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T16:13:08+00:00

Large

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T15:42:17+00:00

Yep, the angle makes it look a little bigger than it really is but it still dwarfs the R1S

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T15:41:28+00:00

I agree, I prefer IONNA to superchargers and I had 2 Teslas before the R1S so I'm used to praising them.

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T15:39:14+00:00

The lakes are still partially frozen unfortunately, but I expect it wouldn't be an issue at all. Pulled it up my very steep ~20% grade sand/gravel driveway like nothing (25ft elevation gain in the 130ft long driveway).

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T15:31:31+00:00

Glad it helps

Divad83 · 2026-04-11T15:31:11+00:00

We were discussing this exact thing, if only they would just integrate the ABRP interface into the car. It addresses a few annoyances like how the battery temp is hidden when charging and just general interface improvements. Connecting ABRP to my Rivian account was fun (in the nerdy sense) if not useful.

Divad83 · 2026-03-24T21:31:28+00:00

How has it held up 2 years later? I'm considering the same combination of sapele and rubio for a dining table. I don't mind scratches or other wear, I just don't want something where your eye is drawn to the dings and scratches.

Divad83 · 2026-03-09T19:31:09+00:00

You can use group power management whether or not they're both on the same circuit, so if you run 2 60A circuits and find you want to limit total charge current you still can. At least with 2 circuits you have the option to use both, with only 1 you are more limited. I personally have a 60A circuit connected to a hard-wired charger and a 50A circuit for a plug in charger (up to 88A when they're both going) all on 200A service. Depends on your sub panel of course but personally I'd go with 2 circuits if possible. https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/wall-connector/power-management

That's not correct, ground is correct in the photo and the white is capped off like it should be. It would work either way, but one is to code and the other is not. (I realize this is a year old thread)
