Tesla owner in Romania has built a homemade Powerwall.
Tesla owner has officially built an automatically deploying and retracting vehicle charger in the garage, according to a new YouTube video from Pat Larson (via Reddit).
Using a raspberry pi to run the automated software, the owner built a fully extending charger arm, which effectively plugs into the car automatically before beginning to charge.
