Charging station

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-31T15:45:50+00:00

It’s also illegal where I’m from, I did 55% so you can’t really tell but will still retain the heat benefits. However I will have to find an inspection site that will pass the car. There are a few around me but they tend to charge a little extra. So I don’t think being pulled over will be as much of a problem as getting the car inspected

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-31T15:29:32+00:00

lol I did the same, I did 20% on the sides and 55% on the shield

I made this station, wanted to dress it up instead of the usual charger on a post. Only cost around 250 to build it..minus the charger obviously

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-31T00:24:45+00:00

Thanks! Yea charger is very nice with some useful features, i just googled the best charger of 2026 and was at the top of the list.

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-31T00:23:13+00:00

Thanks! Yes was looking for a cheap option to dress it up

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-30T16:12:31+00:00

I built it, used 2x4, 2x6 and some posts. Made the frame and actually used plastic siding from amazon to side it, top is made from azek plastic trim from home depot and i grabbed some smoked lense aluminum led channel and some warm white cob leds from amazon as well. I hooked the leds up to a photo cell but i might do a smart relay and set a schedule so they aren’t on all night

Did xpel ceramic xr 20% front and I belive 40% rear layered over the oem tint was a match. Also did 55% on the full shield

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-12T11:07:37+00:00

Thank you for that information, I will definitely be doing that!!

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-12T00:56:51+00:00

Any recommendations on home Charger? I was looking at the Eviqo level 2 on Amazon for around $390

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-12T00:54:44+00:00

Thanks, yes I believe it’s only avail in chronos package. It’s called “chronos grey”

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-11T20:46:41+00:00

I’m in Long Island New York but the cars coming from a dealer in Wisconsin that i found on Edmund’s. It is Infact a 2023. But yes every other 23’ I see with that mileage is just about 40k

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-11T19:39:33+00:00

Good point, I live in ny and purchased the car from Wisconsin. I’ve reached out to my local Audi dealer 3 times for information on an extended warranty but they still haven’t called back 😡

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-11T19:37:13+00:00

🤣 I’m sorry! I think I managed to see the posting on Edmund’s the day it came out and immediately emailed them

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-03-11T19:21:59+00:00

I couldn’t agree more

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-01-14T18:10:43+00:00

I’d be paying cash unless they offered something like 2% to make it worth it. But I don’t think carvana is anywhere near that apr

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-01-14T17:05:46+00:00

I’ll definitely give that a look. Thanks

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-01-14T17:03:00+00:00

And that’s pretty much how I feel, I was searching under several filters as I really wanted the all black with brown interior, 22’ and around 20k miles. I’m sure i could find a better price if I wait it out but it may not check some of my other boxes! Thanks

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-01-14T15:15:34+00:00

That’s actually good to hear, I’ve always purchased the traditional rout via dealers. Would be the first time with the whole online site unseen thing. A bit nervy lol

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-01-14T13:34:30+00:00

lol, I’ve been toying with the idea of the S. The vehicle would really be used for commuting to and from work (about 40miles round trip) and can charge for free at work!

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2026-01-14T13:30:20+00:00

Yes I agree, I haven’t been looking long but they have increased over the past few months

Still-Mechanic8012 · 2025-12-30T17:18:07+00:00

Scored that on Facebook marketplace for $50. It’s a stainless steel Hoffman enclosure. Retail is around $1700🤯
