The middle option is with a FIXED frame, is $779 with the box as quoted before. $929 for the swingaway frame with box. The box by itself is $629. There are 2 box sizes, 1 is taller than the other. The X-rack large bag is smaller than either box, so I chose the standard box which weighs...

I'm not suggesting you jump an ice car with your EV. I'm suggesting you need jumper cables to charge your low voltage battery from an ICE car, so it can start your computers and turn on the dc/dc converter to charge from the traction battery, as well as turn on the computer to allow the...

Stowaway with fixed frame is $779, but has a full polycarbonate box. That one is $600 with a fabric box. A bit pricey for a fixed frame either way.

Many serious offroad vehicles have rear and even front lockers, controlled electronically or by air. Many factory vehicles, like van's and trucks can be optioned with a rear limited slip which is different, but can aid in providing power to both wheels. These systems are nothing new and have...

Battery quality has gotten far worse over the years. In my line of work, I've seen a massive amount of warrantied battery jump in the last 10 years. Especially since we no longer have an lead smelters in the country, alot of the lead is recycled probably not as pure is my guess. I left my...

If you can still find it, you can buy a Thule Combi. It only weighs 55lbs and the self supported tongue weight on a Model Y is 160lbs. So you can load 105 lbs of cargo into it. That's like 2-3 full size suitcases worth of stuff for road trips. You can also buy a Stowaway2 which has a...

A multimeter (keep batteries removed until needed) and a flashlight also with batteries removed until needed. I've seen flashlights and multimeters destroyed by batteries that leaked and causes corrosion. You will also need a long set of jumper cables in case your 12v battery dies, if you...

Never listen to RV dealers, they have self serving interests, they don't care if you're safe. The problem with the R-Pod 171 is the tonuge weight being 325lbs empty and dry. Most of those weights are also typically published without options on their website. If you fill the propane tanks...

To answer my own question, you also have to turn off WIFI, as well as bluetooth. Now it works.

I just installed the Android version of the F9 display, but every time I click on the Android icon, it just tells me "invalid" and won't allow me to use the android system. Car is in park and doors are closed. Hansshow support told me to turn off bluetooth and that still doesn't work. Has...

Does your car have the Biohazard Defense Hepa FIlter?? If the filter elements aren't replaced every 1-2 years, the airflow from fresh air can be very low. So when the system switches to fresh, you can have issues with airflow.

You might want to just buy some Alpha-Rex replacement headlights.

Red Arc brake controller says 9-16v operating range.

I'm on my second 3 week business trip out of country. Last time, all I had to do was turn off Sentry mode and cabin overheat protection. The car lasts a very long time in sleep mode. On my first 3 week trip, I lost maybe 3-4% battery percent. I supercharged right before I parked it because I...

I bought a used one of these on facebook marketplace for $200: StowAway Cargo Carriers - Versatility in Action. Works well, but I haven't tried it with a supercharger yet.

I personally wouldn't own an EV without a home charger. Supercharging all your trips will hurt your battery life expectancy, and it's not cheaper to supercharge than gasoline.

I've had the iPhone 15 Pro Max since it came out and and my Model Y since mid last year. I don't have any issues other than the first time it tried to sync. It was trying to sync all my contacts and things like that over bluetooth which ate up all the bluetooth bandwidth. I had to wait a...

Hopefully this should not have been a surprise when purchasing your Y. If you watch any of the Investor day speeches or Battery day speeches, lowering the price of Tesla's has been a top priority since before the Model S launched. It's been a stated goal to bring EV's into mass adoption and...

I designed and 3d printed extensions to hold the backplate in place. I installed a headrest tablet mount which raised my headrest a few inches, so I needed to extend the bars so the backplate wouldn't fall back.

That's pretty dumb of your state. Vehicles still need to have good steering, brakes, suspension, working lights and most importantly tires to operate on the road. All of those parts are fully in common with gasoline vehicles and tires wear out even faster on EVs. My state still has safety...

Holding the steering wheel balls doesn't soft boot the car. It only restarts the infotainment system, including the screen. You can literally do it while your driving down the highway.

Get a few free decibel meter apps for your phone and try them out and compare the results. Place the phone in the front and the back of your car and near each door, compare results. Inspect the trunk seal in case they screwed that up. Inspect the window glass on the hatch, perhaps they redid...

It wasn't there 2 weeks ago when it snowed. I can guaruntee you that much. But I can check for software updates when I get home tonight. This would save me from having to buy the S3XY buttons commander. I have a Model Y LR. Unless you're talking about only the newer Model 3 Highland.

The only other consideration is towing, if you want the full 3500lbs tow rating, you need to use the 19" model Y rims and tires. Even the upgraded 20's are capable of towing the full 3500lbs. If you don't tow, then there's no need to worry about it. I believe the 18's are 8.5" wide, unlike...

I'm swapping to Tsportline 18's, Eagle tires are garbage in the snow. I'll probably start with the Michilin All Season 4's. The main reason I'm going with Tsportline are that the wheels are properly machined for the Tesla hub, no need for any center bore adapters. Most aftermarket rims are...

Mine was through Tesla but with Wells Fargo. I recieved mail from them a few weeks later where I could set up an account on their website. You can set up payment there.

I bought this kit on Amazon because I like the Tesla specific jack with the nub to fit into the jack point of the car: Amazon.com The quality looks good, the bag was sturdier than I thought it would be and all the tools fit in the bag with the tire. However, I store all the tools under my...

I was driving around just fine, didn't feel unsafe until the regen kicks the back end out. I'm downsizing this year to 18" tires with better all-seasons. But Tesla should bring back the limited regen button. I had an adequate amount of traction with this tires otherwise, it's only the regen...

My MY LR with the 20" wheels come with Eagle F1 tires which are not that good in the winter. I modulate the release of the GO pedal very well under normal driving to maximize regen but still be comfortable. However, this past week in the snow, the regen with these tires is down right scary...

I also bought the Ungodly Designs hitch cover, it's magnetic. Comes off with just your finger.

I got them cheapest on Ebay, $34.99 for the pair with free shipping.

At hose prices, I think alot of reservations holders are going to walk away. It's too far from the original projected pricing.

$80k for Dual Motor is a bit much. The F-150 Lightning FLASH Extended Range is $72k. They also added a heat pump finally. At that price, the Cybertruck is a hard sell for me.

PRICE will be everything with this launch.

Yep, if you use a multimeter with one probe in the ground hole, you'll only see 120v to any other pin. You'll only see 240v with respect to each other, not ground. I'd stick with 6 guage wire for the wall charger and a 50 amp breaker. You're not losing out on anything, the extra 8 amps...

I installed 4/3 cable on a 14-50 Hubbel 9450 outlet on the other side of my garage next to the breaker. Since I only had to buy 5ft of wire, I used 4/3 MC cable instead of 6 guage. And I installed a Tesla wall charger on my main parking spot in the garage, but I used 6/2 wire since it was a...

Here is a handy Amapacity Chart I printed out and keep handy: https://www.cerrowire.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Cerrowire_Ampacity_Chart_210405.pdf I also wired my garage with 6/3 NMB and a 50amp breaker. You're not missing anything, just a few minutes slower. The longest charge I've...

I have a similar mat(looks identical) in my model y. Gives it a very luxury look in the back when I open it. I only have my emergency supplies and portable charger in my middle hidden storage. Items such as a car jack, plug kit, air compressor and portable charger. So it's not often I would...

I'm going to put my Turkey in the Frunk when I pick it up, thanks for the lesson learned.

I have a Model Y with 20" Induction wheels, I would like to try. I wanted to do the Magbak's but they're overpriced. Yours are more reasonable. I also own a full frame camera with lenses and I know how to use lightroom. So I can take good pictures.

Would be nice to save trailer profile. In the driver profiles, you could save another with a certain trailer, and it would remember the usage data for that trailer.

Yep, use the chat option in the app and explain the situation. They can sort it out on the backend.

Use Waitingfortesla.com and try to snipe a deal on a discounted or demo car. You can save several thousand that way, but you have to keep watching the page and filter it by cars in states you're allowed to buy from. Also, we only have single phase power in the united states in nearly all...

While true, the 12v battery in a Prius will last 9 years. That doesn't mean you shouldn't replace it sooner. My 3rd gen prius fuel mileage decreased at about 5 years. It turned out the 12v battery was the culprit as the gasoline engine would have to turn on and run more often. The prius does...

Yes, BMW and Mercedes recommend every 15k miles, which for most people is once a year since the average driver does about 15k miles per year. It used to be 30k-45k intervals, but they lowered it. Bosch recommends you replace their Hepa filter every 12k miles, but they're the ones selling the...

I don't think he's wrong. All of my previous cars you could smell the exhaust of other cars. So that's bad in itself. Only Tesla, BMW and Mercedes offer better higher quality air filtration. Tesla just offers it standard. Here's an article: Tesla's Air Filters Are Way Better - CleanTechnica

Air filtration is a double edged sword. Make the filter material more restrictive and it cleans the air better, make it less restrictive and too much outside pollution and smells come into the cabin. I think Tesla chose to use a more restrictive material, but make the filter significantly...

No, I thought I remember reading of geometry changes to the suspension too. Which means different lengths for everything, meaning it's unlikely to retrofit to an older car.

Maybe your external air filter in the frunk is clogged? Recirc wouldn't use it and can circulate air freely. But if pulling from the outside, that filter needs to flow freely.

That happened to me the first time I picked up and used my phone on the highway. The internal cabin camera uses AI detection and must know that it's a phone. Therefore it got really mad at me and blocked me from using FSD for the rest of the trip.
