Tesla says stop putting wet towels on charging handles to get them to charge faster TL;DR a well known hack is that if you put a damp towel on a supercharging handle, it'll help maintain charge rates. Tesla says that's not the best idea and may cause overheating.

Not that I would get shocked, but I wouldn't put anything wet on a supercharger handle. The v3 and v4 cables are liquid cooled anyway

Ugly day for Ford stock - getting hammered today for a bad Q2 performance.

Bad Q2 in general, or based on EV sales? Please don't make me look it up myself 🤣

EDIT

Nevermind

"The Detroit automaker said its profitability was affected by increases in its warranty reserves used to pay for vehicle issues. The costs are related to vehicles for the 2021 model year or older, Ford Chief Financial Officer John Lawler said during a media briefing"

Kyle and team from out of spec do it constantly. I wonder if he'll post a 45 minute video responding to the statement

Master implies that he's good at it

Dude is just bad at editing his thoughts and his videos

My wife agreed to watch one of his videos on the BMW i4 with me. After 5 minutes she gave up and left the room. I don't blame her. I only hung in for another minute or two.
