(originally mentioned in Vendor - Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology)

For anyone interested, there is now a new open source project that allows using Tesla model 3 and Y (as well as S and X and other car batte...

I grabbed a well-used Gen 2 Wall Connector with a known bad terminal block pretty cheap hoping that I could repair it. Turns out it's not that hard.
Although I have a model 3, I figured this was the best place to post this as this 80A Wall Connector is likely only used by older Model S/X owners.

I...

All,

My 2023 Model S Plaid is in the shop for a track package install, and the loaner vehicle Tesla provided me is a 2023 Model S with a steering wheel. I have seen countless threads on steering with a yoke versus steering with a standard round(ish) steering wheel, and I am finally able to make an...

Last night I run for the first time the build in Battery Health test from service mode on my +3 years old Tesla M3 Long Range (E5D battery) and +75.000 Km. I got home at around 21:20 with 5% SOC so I said this is a good moment to kick the test. I recorded data with Scan My Tesla during the test and ...

Ok so as im preparing to get delivery of my M3H i was getting a bit antsy about how bright the LEDs are on the front of the Wall Connector.
As my WC is near my driveway facing towards the house i didn't like how it lit up the front of the house and created a glow thru the windows. It looked like the...

Test drive of a petrol car

Having heard so much good about petrol cars, we decided to test drive one. They are said to combine cheap price with long range and fast charging. A winning formula on paper – but how are they in real life?

We sat us in the loaner car at the car salesman’s office. Automa...

Exterior:

The finish match is perfect. It looks very OEM, it looks like it belongs. They nailed that part.

Yes, it steals space from the opening to the storage area...I've not yet tried to pull things out, but it's definitely ...

Lots of thoughts.
The door thunk, sound insulation and softer ride quality are amazing improvements. I was mentally expecting good improvements but was still impressed. It's like a civic to a Toyota Avalon. Almost felt like magic. BUT there is a considerable loss of steering feel and response. The c...

I imagine that early Tesla adopters were stoked when superchargers started popping up around the Bay Area. next layer will be when there are more V3 chargers, and people with an old S like me can park in the slow lot.

speaking of early adopters, does purchasing a CT make you an early adopter?...

30000 mile review of my 2022 Model X Plaid. Just over 19 months of ownership and 30k miles so far and I enjoyed every single mile. Now for the good and the bad. Let's start with the bad: As we all know, fit and finish is not Tesla's strength, so, some of the trim really does not line up perfect even...

I wanted to share my initial impressions and first 1,000 miles on an oversized set of 235/60R18 tires on the Model Y.

Ride quality has been overall improved. It’s not Mercedes S-class level of plush or quiet, but it’s much more compliant and muted than before. There’s a clear “pang” sound at...

I took delivery of my MYLR in December of 2022…so a bit over a year, and a bit over 16,000 miles.

A little background: Years ago I had a Civic hybrid, but I had never owned a pure EV of any kind. My first thoughts of Tesla, back in the early 2010s were: "Too exotic and expensive for me, and that ...

I recently watched a range test on YouTube where a Cybertruck was driven at 70mph at a steady state under decent weather conditions until it could not drive. The truck got around 254 miles of range and consumed around 500 wh/mile, approximately.

Here's what that would cost per 100 miles at current ...

Purchased my first brand new car since college (which was a 2001 SVT Mustang Cobra that I still have).

2023 MYP, black interior, tow hitch. Paid $53k which I think was a pretty decent price since I’m in a smaller market and it stickered for $55,490. Could have gotten a better deal on an MSM but 1...
