Also, good luck getting your model S/X repaired in a few years. I doubt Elon is going to warehouse 10 years of spare parts.

I feel like this could be said of any vehicle that gets discontinued (and doesn’t share parts with another model). Getting a Chevy Volt replacement battery pack from GM is pretty hard I hear.
 
I wonder how long till Franz leaves. If Tesla is going to wind down car sales in favor of autonomy why would he stick around.

Didn't the Tesla board give him that astronomical salary to get him to refocus on Tesla?

there are a bunch of milestones in it that mostly related to robots and crap. He should have no problem meeting the car sales milestone, even if they drop down to just model 3 and y. (Cybertruck is de minimis sales)
 
I went ahead and scored the BMW authorized Lectron CSS adapter (there's two, this one is like $15-20 more, it's the Plus with interlock)., direct from Lectron. Sign up on the Lectron site for 5% off, delivered in a day, free shipping.

It's well, a CSS to NACS adapter :D No case, I found a 3rd party for $16, but I was like, heck, the box is smaller, that's the case, especially since it's just getting tossed into the underfloor hatch storage.

I'm going to give it a shot in the next week (not this weekend, this weather ...), our '24 is fully updated, and I have a Shell Recharge account, so it's supposed to suppose P&C (Plug & Charge), drive up, plug in, done. We've got two V4 locations like 5 miles aways, one at a Wawa, 8 stations I believe, and a new one I've never even seen (I used the Wawa with the Model 3 a few times when I had free juice) on the other side of I-95 that's like a 24 station location.

And of course now the OEM nav supports finding those stations and kicking in preconditioning as needed. :)

I figured the extra options for $177 delivered wasn't a bad deal, and heck, if we wind up with the next vehicle having native NACS (or ... and hear me out ... not going EV next time ... :oops: ) it would be easily sold online.
