Mrs WD got to use the level 2 charger I installed at our office building. After a 4 mile commute she didn't need a charge, but if it was going to be cold or hot she would plug in and use her phone to tell the car to cool or heat itself before she got in it to come home. She loved that. |
That good to know. We don't have a garage so it will be important to know too. I've read up on the weatherproof charging cables and weather. I've seen the price range on Gen-1's from the high 12 to low 18's all depending on trim levels and dealers vs private and CarMax etc.
The more I research the more I find myself having to pull the reigns back and hold short for the trim package I want. We have several Chevrolet and GMC dealers that sell the cars the tote as "certified" and most of them time I'm better educated on the features that the sales rep. I'm polite about it, well until they start feeding me BS and assume I know nothing about the car and start bringing up meaningless chatter, then I call them out.
The funny part is that negative press(righteous and data backed) is actually hard to find, which is shocking since there usually is never a shortage of negative press on cars. When you have people, like yourself that are onto the Gen-2, kinda indicates something.
