Re: [EVDL] Products with temperature sensing in the AC plug?
It is the same size as newer plugs on small appliances. It is black, shaped more like a shoe box than round. I guess it is just a normal plug on an old fabric cord.

As Tesla’s volunteers aid the company in orienting large numbers of new owners with their vehicles, the demand for quality electric cars is becoming more evident than ever. This weekend saw something remarkable happen in the Tesla community. With the company currently attempting to address Elon Musk’s self-dubbed “delivery logistics hell,” some owners of Tesla’s electric cars stepped forward to offer help. The idea was initially pitched by IGN reporter and Ride the Lightning podcast host Ryan McCaffrey on Twitter, and Elon Musk promptly greenlighted the suggestion, stating that any help would be greatly appreciated. The community mobilized itself immediately, and by Saturday, Tesla’s delivery centers had volunteers who were ready to help new owners with the features and functions of their electric cars. Even Elon Musk himself was in Fremont’s center, interacting with new owners. Reports on social media and in forums such as the r/TeslaMotors subreddit suggest that Tesla’s volunteer-augmented delivery efforts have been largely successful. One such account came from r/TeslaMotors subreddit member and Model 3 owner u/jpbeans, who narrated his experience as a volunteer in one of Tesla’s delivery centers. According to the Model 3 owner, Tesla gave them Guest badges, and they ended up helping owners on several topics, from basics like opening the Model 3’s door handle, to navigating the car’s functions through the 15? touchscreen. On Twitter, similar accounts were shared. Twitter user @GuyTesla, who volunteered in Tesla’s Littleton delivery center on Saturday, even noted that a nearby Jaguar dealership inquired how Tesla would be able to store the vehicles being delivered to the site. When informed that the electric cars were not staying in the facility, the staff of the legacy automaker were reportedly a bit shocked. Inasmuch as the Littleton volunteer’s observations are but an anecdote in an otherwise busy delivery weekend, the demand for premium electric vehicles should be undeniable by now. Over the years, Tesla’s electric cars, despite the company’s teething challenges, proved successful in their respective segments. With the Model 3, Tesla has begun an attack into the mainstream auto market, and the electric sedan is starting to make some waves. In August alone, the Model 3 became the 5th best-selling passenger car in the US, being outsold only by the Toyota Camry, Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and the Toyota Corolla Family, all of which are lower-priced vehicles. Tesla is pretty much unchallenged in the premium electric car market, though highly-anticipated competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz EQC and the Audi e-tron have recently been unveiled. While these vehicles have long been hyped as possible “Tesla-killers” due to their manufacturers having decades of experience in the auto industry, the performance of the vehicles, as well as their battery tech, seemed to be a bit subpar compared to Tesla’s electric cars. This was addressed by Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi recently, when he noted that contrary to a prevalent bear thesis, there is “no actual flood of competition coming” for Tesla’s vehicles. The recent offerings of premium legacy automakers have caught the attention of Christina Bu, General Secretary of the Electric Vehicle Association in Norway. Norway is among the world’s leaders in the electric car transition, and it is one of the countries where Tesla’s vehicles hold a formidable place. After the reveal of some of Tesla’s competitors fr

IKEA plans 100% electric home delivery in key cities by 2020

That will put it well on the road toward its target of 100% electric global
deliveries by 2025.
Ignore the picture. I'm going to go ahead and assume that Ikea isn't
planning to use Nissan Leafs to achieve this, but the Swedish home
furnishings giant is apparently planning a rather incredible feat of 100%
electric vehicle home deliveries by 2020, initially targeting five
prioritized inner cities (Amsterdam, Los Angeles, New York, Paris and
Shanghai).
It's just one part of a broader commitment to sustainability that has
already seen the company rethink its previous contributions to throwaway
culture, cut back on meat sales, and commit to 100% electric deliveries by
2025.
Crucially, the effort will also see the company flex its muscles in terms of
influencing consumer and employee transportation choices—pledging to provide
"access to charging stations for EVs across all IKEA Group touchpoints
across 30 markets, such as stores, offices, and distribution centres by
2020."
Given that stores like Target are also pledging major investments in
electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the next few years, and that
electrification of road freight continues to march forward, I'm quite
excited to see what the collective weight of corporate activism can achieve
on transportation. While we environmentalists often (and sometimes rightly)
like to rag on capitalism, it's hard to argue against the fact that
corporations have played a major role in mainstreaming renewables and
pushing back against anti-climate politics in the last decade.
Maybe we'll see a similar effort on our roads. I'm not sure I'll be counting
on the big box stores to push the cycling agenda quite as strongly, though.
We might be on our own on that one...
