I’m guessing they were figuring in round trip plus charging and rounding up. It feels like that when on vacation anyway.

The crypto QR code scams are everywhere. People are stupid.

Nice that it’s charging! I would also think slow would be best.

With that and a high quality regular extension cord and regular adapter you should be fine. The problem with dryers in many houses is the distance from the car. You need a high quality heavy gauge extension cord that has the proper plug/socket. There are extensions that can go on the Tesla...

If I’m looking at a map correctly, that’s not far from Poncha Springs supercharger?

Model 3 is super easy to swap the 12v. Put in the new one, see what charge level it says for the main pack and if there are any errors. Then report back. If the screen doesn’t come on or the main battery is dead, disconnect the 12v so it doesn’t drain.

As you mentioned last. Moves to Texas. Makes political contributions. Takes it to the new Texas business court with political appointees.

Well, you did ask if you should keep the climate control on. :) But some of the charge going into the battery gets converted to heat. Heat will have a tendency to rise. But I believe the bigger part is the computer under the dash. While it does have a cooling system, the computer can take a...

No need to worry about the cabin temp when you are not in the car.

That’s good. I’m just surprised to see 2016 now because my 2017 s100d gave the warning almost 6 months ago (and was ultimately replaced for free).

Wonder if they moved this warning to after warranty after they were pushed into covering it under warranty.

What is the month the car was built? It was only cars sold early 2017 that had transferable free supercharging. They changed to current owner only unlimited supercharging around March/April 2017. So salvage status may not apply.

Teslafi is a cloud based data logger that I use. They all work about the same way. The app polls the car at some interval (think 20 seconds or so). If the logger decides the car is idle, it will stop polling for 10 minutes (or so). That allows the car to fall asleep (if it’s tired). Then the...

I don’t believe this is true. There is no learning that takes place in the car. Tesla may grab disengagements and blend those into the data set to train the next version.

Sure. They can open it up and check. But if it’s a fuse that doesn’t need to be replaced, it really should be free.

You may be referring to keysavvy. But I don’t think they pay the tax credit up front. I doubt most used car dealers would go through the effort (or even potential risk), if it’s even possible.

It’s easy. She keeps her 2018 model 3 and when it’s beyond repairable she shops for something she likes (and that probably includes stalks). I was trying to nudge her to a new car as we’re past warranty and there are good deals to be found.

Sure. And find out there are firmware issues over the years like the aftermarket 12v lipo batteries? That won’t go over well my wife at all. There is a saying about happy wife…

Strange, I haven’t had any problems. Clearly you have.

Maybe with variable ratio. That doesn’t apply to the model 3 that my wife refuses to buy because of the lack of stalks.

Voted no on my paltry 30 (way underwater) shares.

Isn’t bmw limited to use locations? If so, that could make it safer. I find FSD pretty good and use it all the time, but it sure as heck dies some crazy very unsafe things too!

Front bumper and wheels are replacements with factory painted parts. Door is body shop. Just because they did one doesn’t mean they will do the other. It’s discounted for a reason. Don’t count on it being fixed unless it agreed in writing at pickup.

I heard it was empty boxes to uninstall the current equipment and send it back? /s

Apparently there are improperly designed ones - https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/12-volt-power-outlet-in-my-tesla-model-s-plaid-has-burned-out-3-1000-escort-redline-360c-detectors.279261/

@oholladay where they the ones pictured in post 129 of this thread or even more in another location?

Reference?

Are you sure the are v4 and not a different brand?

@shred86 the job is so much easier if the trunk opens.

update to add, you could try something like scan my Tesla or find a 3rd party that might give you all the cell levels to check balance.

All they are going to tell you is no errors. Won’t give any insight into if it will fail in 30 days. unless your experiencing problems, I feel like it’s a waste.

And if it goes that way, EVs simply don’t make sense. Especially in the view of the random public. So tank the company one way or another. (Yes, extremely view and not total reality, but for effect…)

Yea. I purchased the replacement motor elsewhere (eBay) and it turned out to be more ($88 or something).

Only blowout I’ve ever had that couldn’t be solved with a compressor was a bmw with the inside tread so worn out it went through the cords. Total user error. Everything else has been a slow leak.

Might be a different brand. Like buccees in temple.

The universal wall connector specifically allows sharing a branch circuit in the manual. The WC2 did also. The WC3 does not show it this way. Ultimately it will be up to your inspector on how it can be connected.

We have 3 EVs (2017 S, 2018 3, 2016 Leaf - leaf purchased in 2019). We do just fine with a single Wall connector. Each car drives ~50 miles per day and we plug a different one in each night. I seriously considered getting another wall connector and doing the power sharing on our WC2 but as...

I’m shopping for an f150 lightning now.

Reading that thread, doesn’t look like anyone has them yet and generally getting the runaround.

Mine is still “winking” - but it’s getting there.

I don’t think that carries through all cases because most CEOs are not “in your face”.

Nah, hand out the big CEO bonus and move along. /s

Starting from the top, from the looks of it.

battery powered security cameras have motion sensors. Most commercial security cameras are running all the time.

Putting the back plastic part back on was one of the biggest pains ever (for me anyway).

I believe Texas covered the folks that got screwed with dynamic pricing. Power companies won. Customers won (because they were saving oodles up until then). Taxpayers…. Well.

Look up service mode (Google). You hold the logo in one of the screens and type “service” as the password. See if you have any errors listed.

Definitely not normal.

If it's that bad, people should not be driving. Even those people that put on their hazard flashers and lean over the steering wheel and squint like it helps.

I have my doubts that this would help and of course it needs power for the blower.
