P.S. I think my title is incorrect. I think both chargers are level 1. I do not understand the "B" charging kit, nor the accessories included.

I am selling - as a complete set - OEM Tesla items compatible with a USA 2020 Model 3, and maybe your own model. A. Level 1 Charger (110v); B. Another type of charger (110v?); C. Accessories with item B (as photographed); AND D. Two identical Charging Cable Zipper-type Bags, with...

Happiness, Perfection, The "Best Choice"? For each person, a different definition or path.

You can't take anything with you when you die, it can happen anytime. Still, savings are prudent. If you don't get the best "iPhone" or "Dyson" or "Tesla" now, remember, the next iteration may be even better. You're the boss. Take your time and satisfy yourself, don't look back.

However, I sometimes miss having a clutch, a stick shift, an e-brake lever, and the ability to smoke rear tires by locking up the front brakes and sending maximum torque to the rear wheels. Because destroy all tires.

As far as the model you want. Is the extra cost worth the performance - given your fiscal goals? These vehicles are fantastic, all trims. The driving features are nearly identical. Some dual motors have the option to purchase an accleration upgrade. Reasonably, it is worthwhile knowing that...

I purchased a set of 18's on tire rack. I chose sonething that was rated for my vehicle, affordable, lightweight, and attractive. Remember, our vehicles are heavy; this means higher loads on the wheels and tires. It is prudent to check both wheel and tire load and speed ratinging.

By law, in the US, the manufacturer can deny a warranty claim if you modify the vehicle - AND that they can legally, defensibly say that your modification is responsible for the warranty issue you are trying to claim. If you swap your wheels and tire configuration size to match one of the...

My thoughts are that because infrared emissions can be: Cheap Effective Invisible to our eyes My theory is that because of the above, the consumer acceptance of the technology might be higher. I am thinking that trailer roofs and sides could have the IR emissions, thus preventing collision...

My thoughts are that infrared reflection or emission can provide additional digital imaging information, that will have minimal to zero impact on the appearance of the vehicle in the visible spectrum. Furthermore, I believe at infrared wavelengths, the radiation of these energies penetrate...

Oh, yes, and one last suggestion to improve overall performance: Weight reduction. Generally, faster everywhere.

Yes. Intended use is important! Some people drive a street car on the track. Some people drive a race car (unlawfully - sometimes) on the streets. If you want to street, but you want uncompromised performance, buy the best performing parts. Anytime someone says that you are compromising too...

Lindenwood, Yes, I am interested in the potential of our hardware under different effective gear ratios. Specifically, linear forward acceleration (as you wrote).

Folks, please chime in on this idea: Some digital cameras are able to image light in part of the infrared specturm (try shooting a beam from your remote control at your cell phone's camera). Because cameras are able to dectect infrared light, why not make infrared as a part of the solutions to...

I agree. If you want a bang for the buck handling improvement, I would proceed as follows: A. *BEST* tires (whatever that means to your intended use); B. Sway bars, coilovers OR lowering springs (intended use is important, again); C. Reduce rotational mass and unsprung mass (to potentially go...
