When downhilling, the air resistance will be the dominant component?

Which cars did you look at and how do they compare price wise? I don’t like the look of Hyundai/Kia but they seem comparable.

I’ve noticed the FSD trial likes to speed in school zones (28mph vs. 20mph limit) so I disengage for those!

First day of FSD trial curbed my wheel requiring a tire rebalance. Won’t be buying. https://qz.com/tesla-full-self-driving-cars-curbs-elon-musk-software-1851415347 Maybe FSD trial is secretly sponsored by replacement wheel manufacturers?

Why are they raising prices significantly for Juniper? (I believe M3 Highland did not increase in price.)

This is where having such a limited line of cars is hurting them so badly. If they could be cranking out subcompact sedans or crossovers they wouldn’t have to flood the market with model Ys. Need a second electric car (for the kids) now but probably going to be a Leaf or used i3. Needs to be...

How was the charging situation on the eclipse road trip? Not too congested?

Based on my HPWC cable the car being noticeably warm (body temperature) at 48A, I suspect it isn’t as simple as you say. I don’t need to resistive heat my garage! When I dial it down to 40A it is much less noticeable (there are other posts on this site suggesting this is the efficient sweet spot).

How much is the retrofit?

First day of my SFSD free trial and badly curbed a wheel on a left turn. The tire has a ‘flap loose’ on the sidewall now. What is the likelihood of a replacement being necessary?

No they need more sales of FSD. 🤑

I strongly suggest Off Road Assist when there is snow on the road. It changes power/regen to 50/50 front/rear, providing much better traction and eliminating fishtailing.

I’ve been using Off-Road Assist in snowy weather this season and it is much better!

Any hot takes on this part of the 2024.2.6 update? What are y’all seeing?

We had a multi-foot snow dump and my MY lost both OEM mudflaps in the resulting mess. Miraculously, I found both (one was across town). Now I need to re-attach them but of course the OEM clips are long gone. Any suggestions?
