    Help: Horrific battery draining while parked in long term parking structure - I've got 12 days to go

    FWIW, Earlier this year I parked my Y in the Ft. Lauderdale Cruise Port covered garage for ten days just a little nervous. Prior to parking I charged to 98% and left the vehicle parked at 92%. I turned off sentry and climate control. I returned ten days later to a charge of 77%. I think a future...

    4/3 MC Cable for the Charger

    Why are you buying the material? A professional licensed electrician does not go to Home Depot to purchase their material. They deal with electrical supply houses that sell higher quality material than big box stores. My NJ licensed electrician used #2 four conductor aluminum for a over 150 ft...

    4/3 MC Cable for the Charger

    Use a licensed electrician from your state that will apply for a permit and inspection. Installing a wall charger that draws 48 amps is a device improperly installed can start a fire, burn down your house, and provide an out for your insurance company not to pay. I'm just sayin

    Based price in invoice

    I'm sorry that I ordered the seven seater in 2022 when it was $3000. Used it once and the third row has been folded down ever since. Only very small children can fit back there.

    Do I have to buy and carry extra charger in the car for long trips?

    I have all of the above as well as a CC1 adapter and a 30 foot extension cord. Never had a need to use any except the CC1 adapter in 30k miles and seven round trips from N.J to Florida. I only camp at Marriott properties that have hot showers, comfortable beds, indoor pools, fitness centers and...

    Frunk Latch Failure on a Saturday Night

    I think it was just a random failure. Last year I had a trunk latch failure. The Frunk is often used as I have a Costco cooler in there. What made me happy was that the Tesla Service Center on Okeechobee Blvd in West Palm Beach Florida is open at 7AM till noon on Sunday.

    Model Y - vehicle 4 weeks old already 2 tire punctures - warranty coverage?

    Although I've had the misfortune of replacing three tires on my Y, at least the Tesla tire repair van comes right to my house to replace and balance the new tires. I have no intention of driving 75-80 MPH on I95 between NJ and Florida with plugs in my tires. Two dangerous in my opinion.
