Driving My Tesla

No gas, can’t put any in if you wanted to. Electric car, charges right from the wall socket, well, sort of. When we brought the car home after a good long drive I plugged it into a wall outlet in the garage. Then I tapped my phone and the charging port opened and I then inserted the plug and here we were charging…what could be easier. True, it was easy, sort of.  If you plug it into a wall socket with your standard home-power configuration the car will charge completely. The problem is… it will take you about 32 hours…not so great. Especially if you charge it on a long trip…might need to book an extra night at the Wonderland Motel.

 

Problem can be solved by putting in a 240 line and a super charger and that will cut the time to about 4-5 hours.  That means once a week after work you charge it, wake up, unplug, you are good to go for another week.

Now, I learned all this after the fact. I did not know that you could use your phone and the Tesla app for all this and was using a key card that Tesla provides. You simply run the card over the center door post — it opens. You get in and go.

Sound like fun right? Wrong!
