No but that's a great show. Have been watching them for many years. I have a small YT channel.

Great idea

It would mainly be on video for social media.

On the product, on EVs, etc. there is a lot of curiosity around CT. I also have a Rivian R1T so some comparison etc. I just though it would be a lot of fun too. Heck I'll buy lunch 😀

Trying to link up with a local CT owner in Maryland to create some content and help educate the public about the product. Anyone near Maryland willing to collaborate on this project?

Hi Joe, there are a lot of resources in the area for Tesla owners. The Electric Vehicles Association of DC has some great resources. I know some members of the Tesla owners club are also in EVA. https://evadc.org/

Says you need to contact the MVA. Titling - Excise Tax Credit for Plug-in Electric Vehicles - Pages

Bump for an awesome vendor! APlus does excellent work! My Tesla and now my Rivian fully protected.

These guys have very competitive rates. USAA is usually competitive too but not as low as USSFCU. https://www.ussfcu.org/resources/rates/rates.html

True... I couldn't pickup on video until i put my camera right next to the driver a pillar. The final time i took it in the senior tech said he thought the sound was coming from the passenger side. Shortly after they said it was characteristic of the car. It appears to be a design issue in...

I bet the OP didn't anticipate this kind of response 🍿

The reason this problem happens is the code is not clear enough IMO. Electrcians will tell you because there is no 55 amp breaker they can round up. They will also say that the EV charger is hard wired and will not pull more than 48 amps (less than the rated ampacity). Lastly they will say...

Greetings! Im looking to change the color of my Rivian R1T 21" wheels. I want to do a satin or gloss black. Can anyone recommend an experienced and reputable paint/powder coating vendor near Frederick, MD? TIA

If you ask me it's basically like a dinosaur reviewing a Tesla. You know from the start it isn't going to go well. In this case a Toyota tech. I mean EV will take a lot of $$$ away from that industry. At best this is not an unbiased review for sure.

Per Tesla they have to be on seperate breakers. They will count as one load though for load calcs. Two options that come to mind are some tandem breakers (to make room for a second double pole breaker) or a sub panel. I have two 60 amp breakers in my setup and 60 amps of allocation so its 120...

A plus took care of my MYP. They did excellent work. They have my R1T for full PPF as I write this. 20% is what they did on mine to match back windows. Limit in MD is 35% but never had issue. Even if you get 35% tint it's still questionable due to some tint already in the windows. If you...

As1 is the line across the top of windshield. It's usually 5 or 6" from the top.

I'm not sure what the factory tint is on the back two windows. When I had mine done the shop matched it with their film and said 20% was best match. 20% is dark at night....if you drive in rural areas or areas without street lighting frequently you may want to go lighter. No shops will do 20%...

In Maryland anything below 35% is considered too dark. With that said many folks have gone with 20% and not had any issues. 20% seem to match the rears the best. 100% legal is usually a 40% tint. If you go with 20 just keep in mind that police can give you a hard time if they decide to check...

Congratulations on your new home BTW!

This ^ Builders are just checking a box the county requires them to check. They are doing it for as little cost as possible. I like the advice above for a permanent home charging setup in your new home.

Forgot the roof issues: Roof and A Pillar on Passenger side Misaligned and lacking coverage in high impact areas Roof on drivers side lifting up because of misalignment

I want to start by saying that I accept responsibility for my choice to have the job done out of my home state and on a short timeline. I will never make this mistake again. In hindsight I should have just applied track wrap to the high impact areas and taken it to my trusted installer in MD...

Each charger should be on its own 60amp circuit per Tesla. They each share the amount of power allocated to the "site". For example I have two TWC and each is on their own 60 amp circuit. I have allocated 60 amps to the "site". What this means is that the chargers can draw up to 60 amps...

Get a long range and then get the accelleration boost upgrade. That will shave half a second off the 0-60. Almost as fast as P with none of the trade offs.

Wall Connector includes integrated GFCI protection - do not install a GFCI circuit breaker. From the manual for the TWC. TWC has integrated GFCI protection. Gen 3 Wall Connector Manual - Tesla...

Even if it's a low volume car, it's a problem that more units are entering in new unsold inventory. If Tesla doesn't want to change price they could offer a cash incentive to take delivery from new unsold inventory which I think would help at least some.

Right which is why they need to reduce it to bring in another set of buyers. That market is no longer buying it.

Tesla doesn't have dealers and they sell direct to consumer. No it's not as bad as the great recession but I don't think anyone is claiming it is. That is not really an apples to apples comparison. By the nature of how Tesla does business they should carry very little inventory. I stand by...

Tesla has regional engineers too. You can request to escalate. I would want to know who made the determination and then hash it out with that person. If that fails escalate.

Tesla either has to cut the prices or incentivize them if they aren't going to curtail production. If they can't reduce the price they should produce less. They can't continue to let inventory pile up as that would be even worse.

One could say your basically paying $2,000 for 5,000 miles of use. Its not a whole lot of money, but personally I might keep the $4,000 and run the car for a couple of years. Either way its not a huge amount of money, and if you can afford to pay it I say go with your gut.

Yeah come back to let everyone know how you like the MB

What are you gaining from this? From what you have said your losing $4,000 and the only upgrade is 20" Induction wheels. What am I missing?

I would cap the neutral and use the existing ground. Make sure the wall connector is properly comissioned for a 50 amp circuit (not 60).

Yes, Tesla released an upgrade in the Tesla App and I think you can also get to it in car as well. For model Y long range and model 3 long range. It's a acceleration boost which reduces the 0-60 time of each car by half a second. MYLR goes from 4.8 to 4.2

This is a good idea. I don't blame you for not wanting to have to come out of pocket.

How about this. Discount MX to79,990 so it qualifies for the federal EV tax credit. Making the effective price $72,490. That's a 19% price cut....less then what they cut off MY. I might buy at that price. The trend with buildup of inventory is not good. Could Tesla be trying to shift some...

Did you get FSD 😎. The only time I would worry about this is if you need to sell or have lost a job and can't afford payment. Otherwise just continue to drive and enjoy the vehicle. Eventually you should be in a positive equity position....it will just take longer because of all the price...

Yes #6 should be used IMO. Also if it's starting at 48 amps was not commissioned properly. It will only output 48 amps if it's commissioned for a 60amp breaker. Why a 50 amp breaker? Unless you don't have capacity it should be installed on a 60 amp breaker, hard wired, with #6 (preferably...

Nobody knows how long. We can only speculate. Everyone wants to know when HW4 will be coming to Model 3/Y and that's unknown as well. Nobody really knows when that will start. In typical Tesla fashion the hardware change will likely occur first and then we will wait for software to play...

Yeah I don't think it works. From what I read the MX and MS vehicle that have HW4 a lot of the functions don't work yet. FSDb is on older release so will not be installed on those. Tesla tends to release hardware long before their software supports it.

They should have EAP standard on vehicles at that price point. I test drove an X with 879 miles on it tonight. It's a nice car but I'm not crazy about the yoke. That would have to be swapped with the round steering wheel for me. If it were 85k I think that would make sense but at 97k to...

Had to get reimbursed for a screw up with tags. Took me from July to October to get the check. Be persistent, ask when you should get the check, and follow up that day if you don't get it, continue to do so. Eventually you will get it. There is also dispute resolutions as well....but I would...

Take it to a tire shop that has a road force elite balancer. The LR should transmit less NVH into the cabin than the performance model. If your getting significantly worse vibration above 60 MPH that is indictive of a wheel/tire issue. A road force elite balancer will detect issues with the...

I guess the $3,000 increase is paying for the three years of free supercharging?

The Tesla interior, regardless of what the materials are, feel much more upscale than the F150 Lighting Lariat that I looked at. It is a nice truck but it is way overpriced IMO. I expect the interior to at least feel upscale in a vehicle that is pushing 100k. Ford put their dealers in a...

Its rated a 80 MPGe by the EPA. Slightly lower than a Mach-E GT Performance. At that price point with only 180 miles of range...I don't see how it can compete. The model Y performance is rated at 111 MPGe and the LR 120. With recent price cuts those cars are about the same money.

If something is/isn't a lemon is determined by state laws. Here in Maryland it has to affect the use OR the market value of the vehicle. Something like this I think checks both of those boxes. The market value part is obvious. If there is a problem with the car and service is unable to fix...

Wife has a Rivian R1S on order prior to the price increase. I am going to try to test drive a used example of an R1T. The Rivian Interior look higher quality. My complaint with the F150 is they had this material that looks like stitched cloth but its actually plastic feeling. A lot of hard...
