Where in the status chain (dispenser or app) is the status failing? BTW would a bit of self driving tech in the dispenser be able to report the stall was occupied, even if not connected help with better status?
I'm hoping Tesla opening their charging network to all EVs will kick the other chargepoint networks in the seat of the pants. Maybe losing business to a superior competitor will motivate them to take maintenance more seriously - and that includes making their apps reliable.
Any ev is good if you have home charging. The Tesla network so far is unbeatable for road trips :) That said good luck with your channel. It was interesting and eye opening. I have a MP3 P and a Chevy bolt . The bolt is wonderful in town and anywhere I can round trip to the house. But I bought it 400 miles from home . Coming home I had to get towed home because the reported chargers were out and I ran out of juice . Embarrassing having a brand new car towed home ! Ty AAA PLATINUM for my 200 mile “free” tow . If not that would have been crazy expensive.

Could be either, I imagine. But not totally sure. The dispenser and app already have the ability to communicate status, but the tech is unreliable.

I’m hoping for the same- and it really couldn’t come soon enough.

Home charging is a game changer…I imagine! Inaccurate dispenser reporting can leave anyone stranded. We all need AAA Platinum. Thanks for the support!
