Never stop making these.

I've been on US Mobile for several years. You can choose between the Verizon, T-Mobile or AT&T networks. I'm on the Verizon SIM. Yes, you are deprioritized. No, it's not an issue.

I've been very impressed with US Mobile's support, though I've only needed it a couple times.

Pretty sure mine was attached to the paperwork when I got my non-provisional drivers license at 18.

Are you me? You said it much better than I could.

Me too! I have a Niro EV now, which I like, but it's still bigger than I need and isn't a great road tripper. Comfortable, but slow.

Our options are basically the model 3 or the Leaf. Unless you go crazy expensive with Lucid, and they aren't small. I was hoping you knew something I didn't.

In the US? Where?

You have to hold it extremely still. Like mount it on a tripod still.

That's a podcast voice. Nothing to worry about.

One pedal driving does not disable the brake pedal.

That's a good question. There will have to be something to prevent DC from being applied to the j1772 pins when using the wrong adapter.

I haven't seen any technical info on how the DC adapters will work. I'm just guessing, but I would assume that the DC adapters will be active and take part in the handshake between car and charger. If you try to use a passive adapter, one side or the other would determine that the DC pins are not physically connected and refuse the handshake.

So, magic!

If I understand it correctly, J3400 requires bidirectional data link with the car before connecting DC current. J1772 is a simpler pilot voltage/resistance value across the two signal pins, which the DC charger won't recognize. So, nothing would happen if you plugged that adapter into a DC charger.
