Quick backstory: When I purchased this shirt online around a year ago, it was before #Tesla christened it’s connector previously known as Tesla plug as the “North American Charging Standard” (dba #NACS), and way before they started inking deals to allow other car manufacturers to use the plug in their vehicles.

Fast forward to today, and it’s practically a political statement.

Here’s earlier this week grabbing some free juice for my #IONIQ5 at a Tesla destination charger via #teslatap adapter.

As power standards in the US are complicated, the charging cable #BMW provides here only plugs into a slow standard 110V (15A) socket. So, I've switched to using the Tesla Mobile Connector with a #TeslaTap adapter (#J1772).

This decreases the charging time at home by 4X and has adapters for a larger series of plug types while on the road (220V 20,30,50A, 110V 15A,20A & more), not to mention #Tesla Destination chargers.

Ran my first errand with the #BMW #CE04 today: a critical burrito run to Cosmic Cantina. It was a ride easily done by bicycle (4.2mi round trip the safe way), but it felt like freedom nonetheless. It received two random compliments from nearby pedestrians, including "That's the most unusual looking BMW I've ever seen".

I also tried the #Tesla to #J1772 converter (#TeslaTap Mini) for charging - it works beautifully for medium-speed charging!
