Just drove by. No change.

This is a graph showing the efficiency vs speed driven. It's approx 25k miles of data from my Model Y Performance. 100% efficiency is considered 'rated range'. Basically the energy consumption that would give you the range the car shows. I think the graph is helpful to understand how speed...

Loved exploring Maine a bit more. Check-ins for 2024-06-01 - Wells, ME (#1956) - Saco, ME (#1957) - Falmouth, ME (#1958) - Windham, ME (#1959) - Waterville, ME (#1960) - Farmington - Hannaford Dr, ME (#1961) - Jackman, ME (#1962) - Bangor, ME (#1963) Check-ins for 2024-06-02 -...

Wow that's terrible. I had no idea. I get invites from fake Elon accounts all the time, but the YouTube thing is news to me.

I have just been on YouTube watching what appeared to be a live video from an official Tesla event. Elon talking and taking questions from the audience. All of a sudden he talks very scripted, a QR code shows in the corner of the screen and he is asking people to send in crypto currency claimng...

Very true. From the start we knew it would only get more and more. But at least 10 years ago, when I started, you could catch the superchargers in your area and go back home and be god for a while. Today, the moment you drive, a new one opens. Oddly it is always in the area you just left, never...

I remember seeing a documentary about the golden gate bridge painting. There is a team that adds new paint over the entire bridge. By the time they are done, so much time has passed that they are starting right away again. It's a constant thing. Feels like this supercharger hunt has become like...

Keeping a key card in the car is similar, except a phone with a disabled key function is safer as the phone is locked. Even if someone were to physically break into your car, they still can't drive it as the phone is locked. I think it's pretty save to keep a phone in the car with the 'phone...

I believe even the very first Model S chargers supported 277 Volt. After all, they were used in the early V1 superchargers. Of course that was never official back then. I doubt we will see this catch on. Pubic L2 chargers are about 50/50 208 Volt vs 240 Volt. I haven't watched the video, just...

I did a scenic drive around the Northeast enjoying nature and picking up a few new stations on the way. 1400 miles in 2.5 days. Throughout the entire trip my efficiency was 270 Wh/mile which is exactly the rated consumption for my Y. Despite not optimizing my charge times at all (I usually...

What's the purpose of the feature then? The pairing process is too cumbersome if you have to do it over and over just to disable one phone temporarily. I assumed that was the whole purpose of the feature. And in fact it does exactly that except the walk away lock. Every other functionality of...

I can lock the car from my other phone or a key card. It will stay locked even if the phone is inside with 'phone key' disabled. It will not keep the car unlocked, it will not allow it to be opened nor driven. That's exactly what I expected from this feature. Just odd that there is this residual...

I had the worst time getting 'walk away lock' to work. In my previous two Model S it worked fine but I was using the key fob. With my Y and using just the phone it just wouldn't work. The car kept warning me the doors are not locked when I parked the car. I doubled check driver profiles and...

Looks awesome! I really have to come next year. I'll plan my work schedule around it.

I have been driving Tesla for 10 years. Currently a MYP. I sold the original wheels and went with 18 inch rims and Micheline Defenders. They might not be the most quiet tire on the market, but so far I'm extremely impressed. I put 22k miles on them and they look 'like new'. I was lucky to get...
