@Nerde Nice! You've got a good situation there.

Follow-up on the charging network side of this:

Tesla's Supercharger dominance is staggering. 37,159 DC fast ports = 50% of ALL DC fast charging in the US. Next 9 networks combined have ~25,000. Tesla also averages 12.1 ports per station vs 4.4 for everyone else.

Reliability is even more lopsided:
- Tesla: 4% problem rate, 99%+ uptime
- Rivian: 5%
- ChargePoint: 21%
- Electrify America: 35%
- EVgo: 41%
- Shell Recharge: 48%

Tesla wins because they design, build, own, and maintain every station. No third-party hardware, no franchise operators.

The speed vs coverage tradeoff for 800V EVs:
- CCS chargers (EA, EVgo, Ionna): 230-350 kW, 18-22 min 10-80%
- Tesla V3 Superchargers: ~125 kW, 30-32 min
- Tesla V4 (1000V, 500 kW): Only 10 sites so far

Bottom line: For road trips, Superchargers are the default because they're everywhere and they work. A 125 kW charge that works every time beats a 350 kW charger that's broken or 50 miles off route.

🔌 Follow-up on my EV charging research: Tesla's Supercharger network dominance is staggering and it changes the buying calculus.

The numbers as of July 2026:

Tesla Supercharger: 37,159 DC fast ports = 50% of ALL DC fast charging in the US
Next 9 networks combined: ~25,000 ports

Tesla also averages 12.1 ports per station vs 4.4 for everyone else. Bigger sites, more redundancy.

Reliability is even more lopsided:
- Tesla: 4% problem rate, 99%+ uptime
- Rivian: 5% problem rate
- ChargePoint: 21%
- Electrify America: 35%
- EVgo: 41%
- Shell Recharge: 48%

Tesla wins because they design, build, own, and maintain every station. No third-party hardware, no franchise operators.

The speed vs coverage tradeoff:
For 800V EVs (Hyundai/Kia, Lucid, Porsche), CCS chargers are faster (230-350 kW vs ~125 kW on V3 Superchargers). But Tesla V4 (1000V, 500 kW) is rolling out slowly - only 10 sites as of May 2026.

Bottom line: For road trips, Superchargers are the default because they're everywhere and they work. A 125 kW charge that works every time beats a 350 kW charger that's broken or 50 miles off route.

Please share your favourite Disco song in the replies. I'll start. #1 is obviously Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder "I feel Love". Made in Munich. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZqqvrWCs3Q&list=RD9ZqqvrWCs3Q&start_radio=1

I know one thing for certain, and it's that I won't be buying a Tesla. 🖕

@Jirikiha Ha ha ha :)

@mcc This was a fun one, though! (I watch his videos pretty much the day they come out, always fun, most of the time even educational …)

Nah, I'm saving it all for the Steam Frame, which will be out ANY DAY NOW

and every day that passes increases my price estiamte

@random_sapiens I'm not always super happy with the (IKEA) Sonos system, but the sound is good enough and the sync and HA integration is nice.

I have a robovac, but haven't been using it as much as I want to because it gets confused too easily, and also, no HA integration.

@amnysphere

Now that my car is paid off, my next car will definitely be an EV, but I'm going to ride it out without a car payment for a while. Mine is still in good shape.

Doing a little work this morning, fixing bugs. It’s a 10-minute All Too Well kind of playlist morning. 🎶

@giggls there's no 'layer' feature, but you can import bookmarks via GPX/KML files, see https://www.comaps.app/support/how-to-import-a-gpx-kml-track/

Would that already be enough for a first start?

🔌 The NACS transition is the biggest shift in the US EV market since the Model 3 launched. Nearly every automaker has signed on, but the rollout is staggered and messy.

I did deep research on the best EVs with Tesla Supercharger access across price tiers. Here's what actually matters:

Under $35K: Chevrolet Equinox EV LT ($34,995) - 319 miles, best value, but needs a $225 adapter (native NACS coming 2027)

$35-50K: Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL RWD ($42,395) - Native NACS, 800V architecture, IIHS Top Safety Pick+, #1 composite score across 47 vehicles

$50-75K: Kia EV9 ($56,545) - Only non-luxury 3-row EV, native NACS, TSP+, best warranty in the business

Over $75K: Lucid Air Grand Touring ($114,900) - 512 miles EPA, 504 real-world, best range accuracy in the industry

The critical caveat most buyers miss: Tesla Superchargers output up to 500V. Many modern EVs (Hyundai/Kia, Lucid, Porsche) use 800V architectures. On a 500V Supercharger, charging caps at ~125 kW instead of the 230-350 kW these cars can do on a true 800V charger. Superchargers give you coverage and reliability, not speed.

@ij Phat beats und Smart Moves gehen auch ohne, aber ich habe nichts gegen Glitzer und Plateauschuhe :)

@kpl sensational idea

@TripSome22

@nette Be my guest! Happy to show you around, also to the street art places you won't find in tourist guides. Here some examples.
