cliffs of this thread that i made are:

-found a "used" '17 with almost 24k miles (its 14 months old though)
-started out at $24k
-haggled back and forth online and got down to $21k
-visited dealer saturday and for them down to $20,500
-im happy as a lark so far!

just a couple things i've noticed so far that maybe someone can answer for me.....

1. when connected to BT i don't hear my phone when texts come through. what am i missing?
2. i've seen older threads so my apologies if its been answered....can i change my default charge to 12amps over 8?
3. what is your level 2 charger of choice for home?
4. is there any way to turn the electronics on without starting the car? (my FFE would be just to push the start button without your foot on the brake)

and last but not least (i couldn't find a definitive answer on GDOTS website)......

5. can i get the AF tag and use the HOV lanes in GA still?!? ;)

So I got my plug from Chris, but I do think it's the right one. I'm no electrician however, but is this a NEMA 14-30 plug?
The neutral blade is keyed to allow plugging into one of 14-30, 14-50, or 14-60. So by intentionally omitting the neutral blade, it will plug into any of the three. Your factory charge cord (EVSE) will only allow a max of 12 amp charging, so all is good.

(And Neutral for other applications isn't just that. Frequently, 240v equipment also has 120v service drawn from one or the other hot to provide for things like control panels and indicators. Parts for that kind of thing are often just cheaper to source for 120v.)
