Are Elon Musk’s toxic antics alienating Tesla’s key buyers? While Tesla is arguably still the go-to electric vehicle brand worldwide, in California, the largest car market in the U.S., registration of Tesla vehicles has reportedly dropped by a massive 24 percent between April and June — the third straight quarter that sales have fallen in the state. Futurism has more.

Electrify America at Plymouth … one charger is down shown in the app… and one more shows available but actually down (won’t activate) and the 350kw that I waited 10 mins for is reduced to about 170kw
I’m glad my car tells me the charging power is limited by the charging station……

While I was in western Mass I finally got to try an Alpitronic HPC charging station! BP pulse opened a "gigahub" near Logan airport which has 4 of these, but they're usually out of way for me. These 400kw chargers are among the best in the industry - fast, reliable, and easy to use. At least that's what I've heard.
This one is from the Mercedes Benz charging network at the Lee Outlet shopping mall, conveniently located right off I-90. It has a food court and bathrooms. I activated it from ChargePoint app, very easy. Charging started in no time. Max charging power recorded at 318kw! Very satisfying experience. Now they need to work on Plug & Charge ;)
