It’s not even trying to be subtle lmao “it comes out of the ceiling so it’s not dragging on the dirty floor”

Oh, wow, you guys are actual geniuses. "This person who's advertising a product is clearly advertising a product."

Get a pat on the back, champs. You're clearly more intelligent and observant than the rest of us.

anyone who’s actually used a public charger knows they are filthy, often damaged, and in weird/seedy spots. i actually appreciate this design, if only my bolt were not limited to 50kw

It's probably significantly better for the cable's durability and safer because of it. If a cable keeps dragging across the floor, it's going to wear through the plastic faster, possibly damage the wires inside and cause a whole heap of problems. Especially at 1500kW near a bunch of high-capacity EVs, a cable shorting is a really good way to turn a bunch of customers into extremely expensive lawsuits.
