That's pretty cool. Good to see the first town in the US to use nuclear power has a fast charger!

I don't disagree, but this is what Tesla has said on their website.

Interesting. I have found the trip planner to be fairly accurate. A 23% swing would be concerning. Having a CCS adapter isn't a bad idea. I think they were $250 last time I looked. I generally plan out all our stops before the trip. I look at each SC option and look to see which ones have...

Since the rear tires are wider than the front, I've read you can't put them on the front without risking rubbing when turning at full stop. going from left to right only reverses the tread pattern which potentially cause less traction on wet roadways. Performance tires generally only have one...

I would go through the connection process again. It's fairly simple if you have all of the information needed.

I have always found L2 chargers at hotels to be free. Those in parking garages are a rip off considering the amount of charge you get for the amount of time it takes to charge. When going to stores or shopping centers with free L2 charging, I don't even bother. Trying to find them can be a...

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you were using navigation to SCs so the battery preconditioned prior to arrival. This will help with charging speed especially when it's cold. Took a short trip from Boise to Vegas in early December last year with no issues in our MYLR. Generally the car...

I have tried reviewing video on a computer once. If I recall each camera is a separate file? I found it faster to review video in the car. This allows you to view 4 files at the same time and delete them all at the same time if you want. I'm a noob at this so I'm sure there are more...

I haven't messed around with the wall charger settings. Can you set a time for your car to start charging? I know you can set it to be charged and ready to drive by setting a departure time. The car then determines what time to start charging based on different factors.

I assume we will all find out at the same time. Any word on the M3P release date? Just holding out so I can by a M3P cheaper or same price as a M3LR after the $7,500 off.

I don't know if I would agree with your point. When putting AT tires on trucks, I usually get asked if I wanted the white lettering inside or outside. From the tire stand point, I don't see what difference it makes. From a performance POV I do see a difference such as water discharge. But by...

Interesting. The MYLR I took delivery in December from Freemont had mud flap on the front wheels only, and PPF on the rear. I have yet to return the ones I purchased before delivery (mud flaps and PPF) if you are interested, IM me.

Just a question. Did your MY come with mud flaps on the front wheels from the factory?

Congratulations on our new car.

Have you entered the route to the SC into the car's navigation? It's pretty reliable including taking into account elevation changes.

Also, if you know someone with a Tesla, ask them to put your commute into the car's navigation system. It's pretty accurate and give you a ballpark idea. At the very bottom of the directions, it will tell you what your charge will be if you arrived at your destination and then returned to your...

Consider the environment you will be driving in. I have been in constant freezing temperatures for a while. My MYLR is parked in a garage at night. I drive about 27 miles each way to work and park outside for about 10 hours. The highs may reach 32 but generally the temperature doesn't get...

I believe it's based on the account you ordered the car from. I find more advantages having both vehicles on the same account. My wife received 10,000 supercharger miles which both cars should be able to use since the miles were added to the account, not the car. Also I am paying for the My Q...

You should receive text messages asking you to complete the tasks via the app, and to schedule a date and time to pick up the vehicle. Sounds like you have done all of this already. You may get a text Friday as a reminder, otherwise I wouldn't think anything of it. You can always reply with a...

I would especially at the new lower price. What other EV 4 door can match Tesla AND have an adequate charging network?

Just a thought. Hopefully our insurance rates go down since the value of a totaled vehicle is less now. Also, for those with some sort of vehicle replacement policy, cost to replace a new Y or 3 is cheaper.

While I'm not expecting anything, if Tesla gave FSD or an extended warranty I would be happy with that. In the end, I made the purchase a month ago and agreed to pay the amount Tesla asked for. I never heard of people wanting to pay more money to Tesla when the price went up after their...

I would like to know the relationship you are insinuating. What is the connection between the price paid for a vehicle and understanding a complicated tax code? Only accountants buy EVs, or someone who isn't smart enough to understand the tax code doesn't make enough money to buy a $60k...

If I'm understanding your response, you are not understanding my post. I am talking about those who increase pre-payments to not incur a tax debt. Of course if you claim 5 kids when you have no kids, the tax credit will help. But if you claim zero kids when you have one or two kids in order to...

Agreed. Would be nice if the feature was allowed after acknowledging several times if needed, that the owner understands the risk and accepts responsibility of not allowing the change to be made. But it's a government mandate and the government knows best. :rolleyes:

If the government was honest and intelligent about wanting to increase the amount of EVs for the general population, then I agree with almost everything already said. The best to do this would of been an instant rebate at the time of sale. This would not only lower the price of the vehicle, it...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm with you 100% and I'll try ORM next time. I don't care about range on my daily commute for the same reasons.

Wow you can save thousands if bought in Tasmania. Does anyone buy there and then drive of ship it to their state? I know these probably sounds like stupid questions, but I'm American so it's expected. :)

hahaha A Pacifica minivan is considered an SUV? What a joke.

Yep, pretty much.

Cool, thanks for the info. Okay, so then my next question is why not always have a Tesla in off road mode? I can if you are planning to accelerate hard, then you may want most of the torque/power going to the rear. But for day to day driving it would seem a 50/50 to front and back would be...

Are you referencing 523.5(b)? I'm not aware of what 4 requirements the MY meets. The ground clearance is less than 20 cm, so #4 doesn't apply.

Just curious what the price is down there. My brother-in-law in Victoria said the import tax on cars puts the starting price around $70k?

I'm not finding a solid definition on a SUV. I found one from a legal website based on federal law. Based on 26 USC § 179(b)(5)

Yes, the M3 and MY I drove were both 2023 models. Fairly standard butt print with a 36" waist.

I'll give it a shot. I think I read off road mode disables tracking control though. If so, have you tried both, and which one works better? Having basically 4x4 without traction control, or mostly RWD with traction control?

My state vehicle registration lists my MY as "UT" or utility. Merriam-Webster defines SUV as "a rugged automotive vehicle similar to a station wagon but built on a light-truck chassis". I'm not finding a rock solid definition. Besides, adding two more seats doesn't put the MY from 4,400...

About a week ago I was driving my MYLR on roads with compacted snow with rain/frozen rain. This is pretty much as bad as it can get without being stuck. IMO opinion, regen sucks while driving in these conditions. On the flip side, the traction control does an amazing job. I found the back...

What a load! What difference does the number of seats make? If I take the third row of seats out of a Tahoe or Explorer it's no longer an SUV? I will be interested if this is changed, or if the IRS is now part of the anti-Tesla club.

Wow, beautiful car. If it's in the condition you state, it should sell fairly quickly.

The seats seem narrow to me as well. Good to hear either me or the car will wear in. :)

Well that pretty much sucks. Interesting why some models would have it (or keep it) while it is removed from others. I'm not fussed right now in the winter time. But it would be a nice option come summer.

Resuscitating the thread to confirm the "vent" option no longer exists?

HAHAHAHA Bolt EV? Then he would be without a car since they are all being recalled, given the repair should be quick. Should be.......

I would be interested in your wife's opinion. She obviously has a lot of knowledge and insight I don't. Feel free to message me if you open to the idea. I get not posting it here and starting a war of company X being better than company Y.

I took delivery of my MY the day before incentives added 10,000 supercharger miles. I asked if I could be given the miles since I took deliver about 9 hours before the miles kicked in. I was told no. I tried. At the time of delivery, I received my $3,750 discount which is what Tesla offered...

Interesting. About 10 years ago I left GEICO for State Farm and saved a lot. What started the process what I was hit by a DUI driver with a suspended license (for DUI) while driving a friend's car who didn't have insurance. I had to pay for everything up front and GEICO reimbursed me via a...

There are so many things to consider only you can make this choice. Are you already pre-qualified for a house if that is possible where you live? I assume you will be financing all or the majority of the house. Keeping your debt-to-income ratio lower is good. In my opinion, for someone to...

I received a phone call from a customer service agent who told me about the free supercharger miles. Since I was curious, I asked how Tesla gives "miles" of charging and asked if there was a formula of how many miles a kw offers. She told me she didn't know much about kilowatts and didn't know...

I did have it set to Auto, but it wouldn't turn on, so I kept turning it on and off. Another issue was the de-icer smeared across the windshield and I didn't know the first 20 minutes how to turn the windshield washer fluid on. I was expecting it in the menu, but eventually just pushed in the...
