    Low power mode

    It would be beneficial to have a lo power mode - obviously not for infotainment or displays but for climate control and driving modes to extend battery range

    Telo reps dropping into Slate event - very positive

    not deep diving 30 posts into a thread to see a video that has benefit has been posted, I did a Quick Look to see if it was a main topic, it was not it’s a forum, there can be posts inside a thread and a thread itself your logic - no one should bring up AWD ever again because it’s in a post...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    that is correct, if you have all night to charge (most people do) also you would not be able to benefit from off peak charging (in my case that would save me 50% on the electricity used to charge) and I am uncertain about this but is 220 charges more efficient? kind of like a 220v air...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?
