Is Zhelko essentially mainly talking about "Max-Pain" or something similar?? "Max Pain | Maximum-Pain.com"

Did you get a USB-C and a Lighitng? or a Micro USB and a Lighting? (and need another micro usb)

Have: USB-C Need: Lightning San Antonio/South Texas Area.

The car comes with a cloth to clean the screen?!

Does Discount Tire know how to lift Teslas, or specifically the Model 3, at the right spots? Was thinking of buying Murphey's Law device just in case they don't, but not sure if worth it if I'm gonna be going to discount tire for that. Also, if in a town where they is barely any Teslas, I would...

is it random whether you get USB-C or MicroUSB? (and always get a lighting?)

Thx, sounds good! So just to be make sure, have a fused disconnect, such as the OR and RV box you linked, should be enough, and connect the Wall Connecter (HPWC) from there, and there wouldn't be a need to make any changes to my current 100A panel since its not gonna be a subpanel? If so, this...

So IF I were to do this install myself (or got a newbie electrician -licensed though etc), what would be easier/simpler/safer? a) Split the AC connection to 45amp and 15amp, 45 to AC and 15 to wall connector, via a "subpanel?" (I think this might be what the electrician referred to as the...

yeah, not entirely sure how to go about this, its both an issue and a nonissue, lol. We own our condo, and every condo has a different owner (most rent it out so don't live there and don't care about stuff, just don't want to pay extra for anything). We used to have an association, but that...

Also, I found out there is an unused meter space (for the whole complex) that I could also use and pay as a residential unit (as long as its under my name not a company name) which means I can have a free nights contract, so basically charging at night would only cost me $19/mo plus tax vs...

Yes, the current panel is 100A. So I would essentially then be using the current panel as a subpanel? Does that sound like the right thinking? The cost to that seems cheaper than I would had expected, suppost most of the cost will come from the work done and any additional wiring then? I'm...

Yes it is a 200A meter, its a FOCUS AXR-SD smart meter with CL200 (I'm assuming this means its 200A). So then, if I already have a 100A breaker box, I can theoretically get a subpanel that goes directly from the meter base that can be as big as a 100A one?

Thx! Thats good to know. So I can add another Panel outside that connects to the meter base? Would it be considered a Subpanel? Is that in addition to the 100Amp Panel inside the apartment? or would it still be limited to whatever is available from the 100Amp Panel inside the apartment...

Oh, you mean like the circle one with the number of watts, lol. Thats outside close to where the AC unit is located.

My Meter base is inside one of the room's closet in the apartment/condo and in the second floor.

Or would the only solution to this be to connect it in such a way that I only charge car while AC is off (which I can do manually)? I could once or twice a week, turn off the AC and charge the car for a few hours. AC doesn't need run 24/7.

Based on that AC unit info and since it says min 45Amps, could that 60amp connection be somehow split to 45amps for the AC unit, and 15amps to the Wall Connector? 15amps at 240V should be plenty for me for daily use, even just a regular 5-15 outlet may me just enough and occasional go...

This is the box that’s already there (is that a sub panel?) and the AC unit info.

Would slim or tandem breakers require new wiring from the main panel to the wall connector? The issue with the main panel is that it’s in a closet in room (in an apartment/condominium I own), so not so easily accessible, and adding any new wires to it would require to break through the wall, and...

So my breaker box doesn't have enough space to add another (and too costly to run a new wire from it anyway) so the electrician suggested to use the wire thats already outside that goes to the AC unit and attach it to a new smaller box and an inverter, then connect the AC from there and run a...

Yes, I heard again before I saw your reply. I totally agree with you, I knew it was about the integrators, but thought it was in relation to the suppliers, but I think I have a better understanding now of what he meant, thx.

I thought it was about Tier 1 Suppliers, though the topic in relation to automation, I took it to be that Tier 1 suppliers were not as easy to work with as Tier 2 and 3, which could explain why they stopped using alcantera in model 3.

LMAO, yes it is, I'm in Central Time, I knew it was two hours behind, and we are two hours ahead. Just tricked myself I suppose, lol!

Its already passed midnight in CA!....but yeah Ryan, remember that Secret Plan Part Deux? took forever on that one and was all last minute late at night typing it up.

Thx, but of course I did a search before posting. No definitive/helpful answer I could find. Certainly nothing at all on the second question (which is really my main question, perhaps I should have asked that first or only).

It comes down to statistics. Essentially, a car stopping when it doesn't need to would be a Type I error. To greatly increase the chance of stopping when it should, you would likely also increase the chance of having a Type I error, stopping when it doesn't need to, which if this happens too...

Has anyone tinted the rear window on their Model 3? How does it look? (roof part too dark?) Also, I heard the service centers are recommending you do not tint the rear window, due to the electronics in the rear. Can anyone confirm this? If so, any thoughts as to why exactly tinting the back is...

Much much cheaper than the DreamCase ($600). Di you sleep overnight in the car? Camper mode?

Are there any estimates for the number of 3's delivered (on their way) per week to Canada?

I thought he wasn't going to be able to charge since it was a US vehicle, while in Europe. Didn't he mention Tesla persuade him not to do it and gave payed for the car or something + dinner with Elon? Or was that just a bad joke? I see now his plan is on the way for the europe trip, what changed?

So despite the hundreds who recommended against leaving out Tesla, nothing was changed. The reason being, a Tesla car sell transaction does not occur in state. So, is this implying that no taxes have to be paid either? I'm fine with that then.

I don't find this as "sneaking around". They made an honest attempt at solving the problem. You think people rather have their phone shut off than simply use a little less power? If people were essentially asked, " would you like your phone to be slower? If yes, go ahead and update, if not...

You also got to remember what Elon (or Tesla) said about the firings from not too long ago. They hire some of the best people, and still fire some because they need people who are more skilled than those who work at competing companies. This guy does seem like he was a great employee, hence why...

I thought that your Tesla car warranty is void if you drive it to Mexico (but not if driven to Canada). Please correct me if this is wrong. I still wouldn't want to drive my Tesla to Mexico, but may consider for something quick.

Took these today. Imgur: The magic of the Internet Right behind JcPenny you see in the background there is a food court, and there is a movie theater and chuckee cheese on Dillards side.

So what part of the current proposed rules prevent Teslas from qualifying? The only thing I read from there was that there will be a list of approved vehicles. So we should mainly be requesting to include Teslas in that list? I did not read any language about only buying via a Texas Dealer...

Yes, how did Laredo just pop up?!!! I have been keeping an eye on supercharge.info every day. Never even saw the permit or construction. I'll drive by tomorrow and check it out.

I would agree with this, except you are missing the point of what is actually going on. Its funny how so many people are shorting Tesla because they do no think they will be able to produce so many model 3's as fast as Elon recently claimed they would be able to. I'm able to do quite a lot of...

I would recommend to not get a loan on a car (or anything) for any amount that is above your total savings (or net worth). In other words, if you cannot afford to pay it cash, do not buy it yet until you can. Next, once you can buy it cash, get a loan for it if you can invest what you have. If...

But what about in terms of resale? If you buy a car for 85k without EAP (enhanced auto pilot), then decide to sell it a year later, lets say you can sell it for 50k. Now, what if you bought EAP a week before you decided to sell it, does that mean you can sell it for 55k? (50k + 5k for EAP)

Looks like you do: Critique My Strategy: Blindly Buying the Base Model

If you enable it later, do you pay sales tax on it? (From the state where you live)

Two questions: 1. If I buy a model s now and pay for autopilot (AP2), and I decide to buy another one (assuming its also AP2) a few years later, can I transfer the autopilot from the first car to the second one so that the newer one has autopilot (without paying extra for it) and the older one...

The pictures shown with the phone dock are without a case. I would imagine there are some cases that are too bulky and would understand it may not fit, but will you be able to use the phone dock with an "average" case on? It will be annoying if I have to take the case off every time I go in to...

So no chance at getting tax exempt through HB2971?

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, I would agree with you about that, but my earlier point was that it was created electric vehicles were not an option, so this needs some updating or at least revisiting. But how do we push that to happen?

"Subsection(d) provides that the generation of wind power, solar power, hydroelectricity, geothermal electricity, tidal electricity, or nuclear power are considered carbon-free sources of energy." Section C is the one about hydrogen, which is where it defines as accepted hydrogen I would...

Anyone have any updates/success that we could use? I found the following online: \begin quote" BILL ANALYSIS H.B. 2971 By: Chisum Ways & Means Committee Report (Unamended) BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Texas and the United States face increasing gasoline prices and an ever increasing...

As others have noted, this would not help. However, what may be helpful is if someone opens up a "regular" dealership and buy 1 or 2 used teslas to have for display. Then be pretty much an advertisement outlet and learning resource for the public. Perhaps have a computer available for people...
