As a frame rate junky that loves smoothness, this is something I wanted for a long, long time. Tesla finally implemented hardware video decoding on MCU2 with the 2023 holiday update! This has lots of benefits that I'm going to geek out about.

Because of this, all 3 cameras in the backup camer...

Wassup ya’ll! I wanna thank everyone for all of the inspiration and knowledge shared here, it’s helped me so much in making decisions about modding my new Model Y.

Saw a Cybertruck charging at Firebaugh yesterday. First time seeing one up close in person. Pretty amazing and it really draws a crowd. Can’t wait to get one!

2023 was another record breaking year for stations as Tesla opened up 538 new sites to bring the total to 2,362 sites in North America. I'm expecting close to 700 new stations in 2024 with the pace that they are on.

Some of you might recall metal keys-needed mutiple keys to open door, another to start the ingnition, another to unlock glove box, etc, Then in the late 1970's came the single metal key-one key to open door and same key to start.

My family and I rented a Model Y from Hertz on a recent vacation to Orlando, FL. We used it for a little less than a week, mostly around the Orlando area, but we did a day trip to Fort Lauderdale. Hertz and Tesla did a very good job setting the cars up so that Tesla owners will feel right at home.

Was wondering if it might make sense for Tesla to consider making owners' home chargers and parking spots in high demand areas available for rent when the owner isn't using them. So as a holiday project I threw together a financial model, interacti...

Terminology:
First gen 3 car - Model 2 (M2) hatchback (Elon was convinced this was needed)
Second gen 3 car - Robotaxi

This poll references the robotaxi. I think it is likely that the gen 3 platform will be designed with Robotaxi in mind. I will likely run a similar M2 poll following this ...

(Title should read 'maximum'

) Just thought I'd share this. Dec 21 was a clear day, which was great as it showed me what to expect as (mostly) best case for the shortest day of the year. Unfortunately, I didn't have a clear day last June 21st to compare, hoping this year will be.

Today I replaced the nearside front headlight on my 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance (5YJ). Here is a brief outline of the job.

Intro
After hitting a pheasant, the headlight lense cracked, causing both the headlight and indicator to fail. Apparently, the phase 1 Tesla Model 3 nearside front headlight...

It dwarfed the Model X on the other side. Looks stunning in person, even though it was really dirty. I’ve heard people who hate Cybertrucks say they’re even uglier in person—this has got to be the most polarizing car ever. I, for one, love the design.

It had a dealer plate, so obviously a company/t...

I’m thrilled with my Tesla after 6 months of ownership. I was an optimistic purchaser and it has largely delivered. I’ve learned a lot and liked a lot. Here are a few areas that have been meaningful to me.

For those of you that have read my previous posts you know that I was determined to purcha...

1) GAS PRICES-when they go up, all you hear is everyone complaining about how they can't afford to it. Gas prices go down-everyone is lined up, fighting over who was next.

2) LINES UPS-no not at the pump, when U go inside to pay and there's an old person checking his lotto tickets, holding up the ...

Chris and Julie Ramsey left the North Pole in March in an all-electric Nissan Ariya, and just finished the first pole-to-pole drive ever.

So this BMW spontaneously erupts in flames in the parking lot at my work. I was parked on the driver's side. I used summon to save my Tesla, thank you. The car on the passenger side was also burned/melted. It wasn't a Tesla.

It was the first time I had a super critical use for the feature, but it w...

As winter approaches, thoughts often turn to the challenges of cold-weather driving, particularly for Tesla owners. One common issue is the loss of tire pressure, a problem exacerbated by colder temperatures. While not as dramatic as a flat tire, driving with reduced tire pressure can lead to safety...
