    Just got my electric bill and it's just about 1,000kw more

    I just got my electric bill this morning and it's almost 1,000kw more than last month and my bill went from $85 to $280. I don't get it, it's hotter this month so the AC was running just a bit more and my car probably only used 300kw or so. I only charge the car about 7-10kw a day. I know some...

Does that mean that the temp probe is inside...

    I found some charge things online and one is Blink and the other is Charge Point and I think I can buy cards from both of them. How do I find out which one to buy in Tucson or does one work with the other?

    Rear camera picture isn't sharp and clear, it's kinda blurry

    The salesman and I both agreed that the camera doesn't have a clear picture. Just curious if anyone else has the same issue. It seems like it's just a little out of focus.
