This sparks joy. Chargla still needs some balancing since it still looks a litte top- and front-heavy BUT i've seen other attempts from big companies not looking that good in later stages of development. So: Two thumbs up!

The crowd of people sitting quietly by watching was great. “And here we see the charger gently approaching the truckla as not so scare her off. She opens her charge port in an accepting manner. My goodness look at the aggressiveness by the charger! I didn’t think he that much spark in him.”

I have missed Truckla. I’m glad she is finally getting water proofed. She is too cool to not be fully living up to her potential.

The ending alone is worth the like. You are cool for sure! Good job.

Nice update video, that ending somehow is perfect for your channel. Actually finishing projects is always hard, got some issues with that myself those last details that are at times important too (like waterproofing) are worth getting done as tedious as they might be. Would've been absolutely essential here where I live but I guess in LA it can wait.... a few years. I must admit I was slightly disappointed in the tailgate not being automatic in its opening and closing, but it certainly looks sturdy and functional. I'm not sure how I'd describe that scene when observing the charger trying to do its thing for the first time, be wary of rogue teslas getting near chargela though! They might want to steal some free electricity.
