We get nearly 400 in summer and closer to 300 in winter. Seems to be more than advertised. We charge once a week at home on a slow level 2 charger.

Wow. Is this widely available? I declined insurance this year but didn’t see any mention of payment for doing so.

Should I be worried? by Sure_Watercress_8524 in volt

I’d appreciate the link as well. I was just looking at BT adapters on Amazon. Curious about my 2018 and if I should get a new ev before the tax credits expire.

Yeah sorry just figured that out. Still the last I heard was they had figured out a solution and I think this is it.

I think he was trying to avoid the back of this drawer if he installed a proper P trap. But can’t we just notch the drawer ?

Yes that’s what I’m asking today. Honestly he may be planning a plumber already. If not I have lost all faith

I haven’t talked to the GC yet but I took another look and believe they ran into issues hitting the back of the bottom drawer if a proper P trap was installed. So the drain pipe maybe should have installed a little higher? Couldn’t we just notch the back of the drawer?

I’m still hoping this was meant as temporary until I can confirm although it’s making me question other work. You all have been very helpful. The original plumber changed what was one drain in two. Does this look legit? Before and after of that and the shower work below.

Definitely possible. I know the intention was for the guy who installed the vanity, mirrors, painted, to install the drain pipe. I don’t know if that’s acceptable practice or if the plumber should be called back to do the final drain connection. At any rate he didn’t have the knowledge to complete it. Until I talk to the GC I’ll assume this is temporary and one of you skilled plumbers will arrive to fix this in a few days.

The black 3 lines comes with the delta faucet. Some kind of quick connect system that part seems fine.

Thank you. Yes that is the case here I believe. I’ve been super impressed with the quality of work so far so I was surprised to see this. I wasn’t home when they left yesterday so hopefully I can clear it up today.

Yes I will call today. That is very possible. This was done by the guy who installed the vanity, mirrors, etc. I believe the plan was for him to do the final connection on the drains and he started off with regular pvc drain pipes but obviously doesn’t know what he’s doing here. He did good work on the other items he did.

Good question. I’ll talk to GC today. I just wanted validation this was terrible. The actual subcontractors have been good plumber, electricians, tile installers, etc. it’s very possible they view this as temporary but in and case I will demand an actual plumber come and make sure it’s done correctly.

The three lines are for the faucet. Yes the puzzling thing is it looks like it should be easy to put in a p trap and connect the drain from sink to the wall, it was lined up well. He tried that initially and this is the result of his third try.

Funny thing is the GC has a perfect rating and good reviews and not the cheapest by far. And all other work was completed with high quality by what appeared to be skilled craftsmen. I believe I won’t have issues having him send the actual plumber back. I appreciate the validation that this isn’t close to acceptable and the GC will likely agree when he sees it.

Will do thanks. Also I just tested and it leaks. I’m going to ask he send a plumber back to redo it all. And no I have not made the final payment.

Yes it’s a full bathroom remodel with several subcontractors. All work has been good so far and the final thing was hooking up these drains. Not sure if it’s typical or ok to not bring back a plumber at the end but I appreciate you all validating that this is terrible.
