I guess this depends on the definition of AC and why I said "climate system". By "climate system", I guess I'm saying the same thing as you say "AC panel". Now, if you are turning off just the AC portion of the climate system, then your climate system is still on and so will behave differently...

It is not adding the voltages together and I never said that. As @cafz explained, they are wired differently to the usual 3 Phase power outlet so you actually get 3 phases of 240V each running through a HPWC. Look at the OP's original picture. They are charging at 16A but are getting 12kW...

Did you note that I said "effectively"? It is 240V x 3, while technically not 720V, it is effectively 720V. If I charge with single phase and 5A it is charging at 1.2kW (240x5). If I charge with three phase and 5A it is charging at 3.6kW which equals 240x3x5.

And just to add to what @cafz says, with three phase it is effectively charging at 720V+/-5V.

It is actually the other way around. I always turn off the climate system when I get home (so the damn thing doesn't come on every time I open a door). When I want to turn it all back on, I just tap the temperature. It turns on (with the same settings it had before) without opening the panel...

On my Model 3, I have Lane Departure Avoidance set to Warning. If I drift out of my lane, the car jiggles the steering wheel to warn me I have drifted out of my lane. The sensation is not unlike running over bumpy lane markers but happens even when the lane marking is just paint. It happens...

The fuel excise has been halved (for 6 months) to help reduce the price of fuel at the bowser. As far as I am aware, the price of electricity is not going up. If anything it is going down. While the theory was for the fuel excise to cover road use, in practice it just goes into general revenue.

How typical of Tesla... I mean really? This could be 100% automated and we shouldn't have to enter our VIN. The VIN is associated with our accounts so at worst, all you should need to do is log in with your account and it tell you if your car has been recalled. But hey, let's get a light show...

Yes, I think that is the behaviour of "Auto High Beam". With it on, you can override by puling on the stalk. Pushing should toggle the high beam on (but it may not actually turn high beam on until you are in a situation where it wants you to have it on).

I have certainly noticed the last two but they don't seem to stay up long enough to do anything. To be fair, though, I haven't tried as I find the Auto Wipers work fine (so don't need to adjust) and as yet I have not needed to turn the demisters on, as I always have AC on. I will try the first...

That's a pretty poor UI design for a car if it requires you to always carry a passenger!

There is no voice command, plus you can't turn the fog lights on if the headlights are not on (hence my comment about being during the day). To turn on the front and rear fog lights, you have to make 5 presses on the touch screen, including reaching across the screen to switch to the Lights...

I guess you have not yet driven into fog during the day. Voice controls won't help you there.

@evpaddie I think I have a solution for you. Park the car in a dark place (e.g. your garage). Make sure your lights are set to Auto Make sure Auto High Beam is on If is dark and you're sitting in the car, the lights should be on. Turn on high beam by pushing the left stalk (note that high beam...

Only on 2022.4.5.x, not all of 2022, unless 2022.4.5.x is the only release so far for 2022.
