Came home this evening from a trip to Ponder, taking 35W north to southbound to 35E, a pretty common move to get back into town.

And holy shit - there is NO space to adjust to the speed of traffic. You have maybe 20’ to get into that right lane and get going. There’s no shoulder and no space to fit your way into traffic. I don’t know who came up with this, but someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed trying to make that same entrance.

They HAVE to know that this is a dangerous move to enter a moving roadway with that space and that limited distance.

Saw one of the first new ads against Talarico this morning, selectively editing his comments and portraying him as some sort of fringe lunatic. Lots of clips with him talking about skin color, his faith, the border and trying to treat everyone equally. At the end, plastered across the screen was a nickname they’re likely to use “Low T Talarico”.

This was assembled by one of those wackadoo PACs and is likely to bombard the airwaves with this message and silly attempt at a nickname in the coming months, but the message they’re attempting is clear, so be prepared.

I wrote a few months back about L1/2 tripping the breaker at my home and any L2 charging failing. I can take it to an EVGO, for example, and it charges fine. I went through the effort to get a replacement Autel charger for my home and even had an electrician come out to replace the breaker and review the overall setup, though I’ve had no issues with either a Tesla or now my 2022 SEL.

Took it to the dealer and, weeks later, they said they’d fixed it with a SW update but upon bringing it back home, it failed again. I brought it back and after a few more weeks, they determined it was related to the ICCU. They replaced that and a fuse and told me they’d tested on L2 and got it to 80% before giving back to me.

I just returned home, plugged it in and was hopeful to finally see a resolution and put this all behind me. Plugged it in, went to the Autel app and started a charge only to see “charger faulty” once again.

I feel like I’m back at the beginning again and will have to again find a local L2 to see if it works or fuss around with this home charger yet again. Has anyone seen this many issues trying to replace a part and charge at home? I cannot seem to find anything right in all of this and am about to reach a point where I’m going to sell the thing just to be rid of it.
