A listing of all internal space measurements.

After the latest software update, the Sky Force game (a space shooter) was added. Since I love those kind of games, I decided to give it a try.

Okay, so apparently while I was not watching, Tesla silently increased the price of the charging. Previously there was a price table for the entire EU, usually an equivalent of 0,25€/kWh. Now, the price varies wildly country-by-country, and even supercharger-by-supercharger. For example:

In the Home Charging in Finland - Basics article I’ve described the basic options of charging in Finland, and I have concluded that Schuko-based charging makes the most sense. However, recently I’ve found a 800 EUR option for a wall-mounted charger which includes the RCA/RCCD fuse and the installation, which makes it very competitive against the Schuko charging.

After purchasing a Qi-wirelessly charged phone, I decided to order both the Jeda Wireless Pad (in order to charge my phone) and Jeda USB Hub (in order to hide my TeslaCam SSD drive).

The road through Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania/Poland is very good in terms of road quality, but there are no chargers with “great” reliability - usually it’s just one stand with one AC plug and one DC plug. If it’s broken or occupied, be prepared for a fallback plan to find alternative charger.

The situation is far from perfect - only K-Lataus and Tesla provide great reliability, so you always need to plan your trip and considering falling back to another charger if need be. Also, there are lots of players with their own smartphone app or a tag, which you need to have installed in order to charge. Luckily, things are improving and several providers will now allow you to charge simply by paying with your credit card (Tesla of course, but namely K-Lataus and PlugIt and also maybe others). However, if you wish to go for a longer trip in Finland, I still recommend you to register+get the tag at least with the biggest charging network providers.

Charging from the Car Heater Plug Box is a very intriguing possibility since the Heater Plug Box provides Schuko with all the cabling and the fuses already installed. However, you need to look out for the following things:

One day I decided to hop on the EV revolution and got myself an used Nissan Leaf. The price was decent, and so I thought it could be an excellent testing grounds for me to evaluate whether I’m ready to fully switch to EVs.
