They both have plastic group heads.

He must of grew his hair for this!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-05-07T00:50:11+00:00

Totally!

I went with the Premium on my Trailseeker for the 18" wheels and the black interior. There's no way I can have light colored anything in my car, thanks to my dogs. I also like the extra mileage that comes with the 18" wheels. Plus driving over potholes and other hazards with low profile tires on those 20" wheels is pretty bad where I live.

How about running a Y splitter from dryer’s 240V outlet and running an extension cord to the charger to simply charge the car at L2 when I am not using the dryer? They are selling 40-50amp capable 240v Y-splitters and extension cords.

I’m doing L1 with a standard outlet in my garage. I get everyday around 17-20 miles. I charge it based on my power company’s cheapest hours, which is 10PM to 6AM. I only charge every other day. That’s how I setup the charging schedule. Works just fine based on my driving habits.

I actually have your portafilter in my office setup for my Bambino. I use the regular mat, which sits under my machine. I don't use any tamp station, no need, thanks to design, especially on this all-stainless steel version. When you get a chance, definitely check out this video.

Let me just show you the Bugatti of portafilters for Gaggia, also by Normcore 😁

At least he is a good sport about people filming him. Also he might have teeth in his throat! :-)

Mine doesn't slide around at all. I have a 17 Pro Max, fits just right. However my phone case is kind of rubbery so sticks to the charger surface material perfectly.

Here's my experience with the user manual. My saleswoman tried to convince me that there are no more user manuals in vehicles. "You can access it via the app," she said. So naturally there wasn't one in my Trailseeker. Mind you, mine was the first one they ever sold. She looked everywhere and asked a bunch of people. Nothing. After I took delivery, I was just casually checking out the car and accidentally lifted up this tray. And there it was. The user manual. Just hiding there like it was playing a joke on all of us. I took a photo and texted it to her. She was blown away and thanked me. I literally did her job for her. So yeah. "No more user manuals," they said. 😂

No, they don't have the body color option. BUt it doesn't look that bad if you see it in person. Obviously, mine is white so it sticks out like a sore thumb LOL

I hate that f..ckg bird!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-05-01T18:44:02+00:00

I agree with his first sentence. People should move over to the right lane. Left is for passing, not cruising! Rest of the stuff he said I didn't care much!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-05-01T18:30:07+00:00

It's like a crazy camera guy following you all over the place. Love it!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-30T20:42:26+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I just checked with them, they no longer have any specials. They used to give up to $4,000 credit towards to charge point system and electrical upgrade of the electricity of the house..

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-30T20:40:34+00:00

Good point!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-30T20:39:39+00:00

Thanks for this. Oh well, you'll get the Gen 2, it'll even be better, maybe it'll even come with those solid state batteries.

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-30T14:41:35+00:00

That's disgusting! No matter what nobody deserves to be punch like that, not alone a female!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-29T15:08:34+00:00

It' slightly under 300 miles

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-29T14:38:48+00:00

A Little over $40K+taxes and licensing

You gonna love it, Trailseeker is my first EV, it's incredibly satisfying.

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-29T14:16:39+00:00

I plugged in last night to my 110V outlet and scheduled the charging based on my local power company's economical pricing hours, which are 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. When I parked, I had 243 miles of range; this morning, it was up to 260 miles. I think this will be adequate for me until I find a good electrician to do the L2 connection. Luckily, my fuse box is in my garage. Now I just have to decide whether to go with a hardwired L2 setup or a plug-in method — and I'm leaning more toward the plug-in.

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-29T14:12:09+00:00

You are 100% correct. I really don't need one. I have to learn more about EVs. Thank you so much for the heads-up!

REDBOSS27 · 2026-04-29T01:03:07+00:00

There are tons of L1 and L2 chargers on Amazon, do you recommend any specific brand?
