    Guessing wait list # based on Reservation Number ...

    I'm 11274xxxx and they haven't called me. I'll be upgrading from DM to TM. They did reach out via text to buy a model Y with the $1000 discount for early CT reservation holders.

    Master Thread: Definitive 14-50 NEMA Outlet Guide

    From a ampacity perspective, AWG being the same, CU always beats AL. If you want the same ampacity, increase the AL gauge to the next larger gauge and you will be fine. For example, at 90C, 8 AWG CU is equivalent to 6 AWG AL as both are rated at 55 Amps.

    Charging receptacle wiring question.

    I like those links. Will check it out. Jacketed Stabiloy 6-6-6-6 XHHW-2 conductors on page 13-15 of this link. http://www.stabiloy.com/nr/rdonlyres/b279b6d7-0e83-4880-8e5e-2ec600fc5b27/0/stabiloywiremansguide.pdf I have Stabiloy 8000 XHHW-2 6/3 AWG in Aluminum for my air-conditioning unit that...

    Charging receptacle wiring question.

    I was looking at XHHW-2 as it is the highest rated and has an ampacity of 75A @ 90C for Copper and 55A @ 90C for Aluminum. Perhaps I should have been specific about the wire. I was looking for 6/3 AWG (6-gauge, 3-conductor + ground) Copper XHHW-2 wire. For single conductor wires, there seem to...

    Charging receptacle wiring question.

    I'm going 100 ft from the breaker. What are most folks using: NM-B THHN/THHN-2 XHHW/XHHW-2 And in AL (aluminum) or CU (Copper)?

    Charging receptacle wiring question.

    I was going to install a Nema 14-50R receptacle to charge my future Tesla CyberTruck but am posting here because the knowledge is strong amongst the Model 3 folks. I'm doing the job myself and I've figured out the following based on recommendations from this site: A 50 Amp GFCI breaker on one...

    Two reports of Teslas on AP hitting stopped vehicles in their lane on the freeway

    So, a known limitation of automation is the lack of automation in such not-so-unusual scenarios. :eek:

    No "Dual Motor" Lettering on M3 LR AWD?

    Maybe you got scammed. :p

    Had M3 home delivered, but not happy with paint and interior flaws

    Return it and wait for an alternative. Also what is the VIN range for your car?

    More Model 3 changes and leasing now available

    Sounds like a company in distress. Forcing options on customers that they don't want. Conversely, those that select the option could have gotten it cheaper. I think Tesla's 450,000 Model 3 order book has disintegrated because of all its bad customer management. If they had been better managed...

    Rear View Camera - atleast 5 sec delay in coming on (always black initially)

    Try turning your head back until the next update fixes it. I know it feels unnatural but it usually works. :D

    Who Scored the best deal during the Firesale? $46k Perf. Model 3 (Spreadsheet)

    But Q1 was so bad, I'd say the real deals are just going to start. And end of Q2 deals will probably be fantastic.

    Anyone Guess How Many Pre-orders

    With the M3, the $35K pricing bait was the primary trigger for line waiters. With the MY, the M3 crowd has now been wise to Tesla's non-FIFO tactics and is not jumping in. I'd be surprised if order exceed 25,000. And if it did go towards 50,000 I'd say that there would be huge pent up demand...

    Will Tesla make a SR AWD model?

    Dang it! The one model that I stood in line for and waited almost 2 years before canceling my reservation. I would think it would have a 100,000 order demand easily in the Northeast, Northwest, Upper Midwest and Chicago region. Too bad Elon doesn't see it that way. If only I had twitter, I'd ask...

    Will Tesla make a SR AWD model?

    Or is it unobtanium?
