Comparing cost per mile using total energy from trip screen metrics vs wall charger metrics and compared with ICE

Yesterday I updated the Tesla app so and connected my wall connector in the app so that I could get a sense on the true energy usage. Then I did a little math to figure out my cost per mile:

  1. Miles driven yesterday: 56 mi
  2. Approximate electricity cost rate for my last billing cycle (in...

FSD getting things right

Hi all -

I've been using FSD for the last 8 months. And while I experience a fair amount of screw-ups and disengagements, I've also noticed how comfortable I'm getting using FSD on every drive. It occurred to me that we (rightly) put a heavy focus on where FSD needs to improve. But I think this can...

Alternative, DIY refresh Model X rear camber correction

I was thinking about this over coffee. Anybody who is considering spending $400 for the Macsboost kit could DIY this for next to nothing. I need somebody to confirm the relationship between the spacer thickness and the camber, but I don't have a refresh X. If anybody is in the Bay area I'd be down t...

FSD beta - first time user reactions

I have got to be honest. Full Self Drive capability in Tesla goes further than any other vehicle designed by man (or woman) but it left me wanting for more.
I bought my Model Y Long Range on Friday 9/1 and took it for a little ride from Houston to Corpus Christi on Sunday 9/3. Here are my first reac...

Sign of the times in Phoenix

I've only had my MYP for less than 2 weeks, but it does train your eye to spot other Teslas. Yesterday I was driving on the 101 north through Scottsdale when I notice a model S in front of me. I caught up and dropped into line. The model S was following a model Y, and the model Y had a 90D in fr...

Tesla FSD - A Five Year Perspective

My Model 3 was delivered in mid-August 2018. While I originally just had Enhanced Autopilot (EAP), I quickly paid the extra $2000 to get FSD as rumors swirled about Tesla charging more in the future. What's my opinion after 5 years of testing and playing with Tesla EAP and FSD? TLDR: It's pretty muc...
