Junkyard Find: Lada Niva

When I went to Iceland to abuse some Subarus, I managed to visit a couple of Reykjavik junkyards and poke around a bit.

  • FreedMike Some clarification would make sense here: Tesla is laying off the team responsible for BUILDING NEW Supercharger stations. Apparently the ones already being built are going to be completed. The folks who maintain the current network are apparently unaffected. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/30/business/tesla-layoffs-supercharger-team.htmlAlso, many other other manufacturers are switching to NACS in the upcoming years, and some of those companies are already providing Supercharger adaptors for their non-NACS vehicles. Some Superchargers can already accomodate non-Tesla vehicles with a built in adaptor called the "magic dock."Given all this, my guess? They're trying to maximize utilization of the current system before building it out further.
