Still available?

These still available? I’m in Nova and can pick up asap.

I do not. None of my trailers have brakes. They’re considered lightweight.

I don’t understand all the focus on the highway/high-speed range. “I’m going to prove that the Model Y can’t go 316 miles at 70 mph!” 316 miles at 70mph is not an expectation based in reality. I don’t think Tesla is making that claim either. If you need to be able to hit 300+ miles at 70 mph...

On the way home today. Dry road conditions. 92 degrees. Autopilot set to 68mph the entire way. Includes the on-ramp and off-ramp but nothing else. AC set to 70.

This is from this morning on I-95 in the rain. Only the highway driving is included in this trip meter, it does include the on-ramp. Speeds were a bit slower, 60-65 the average probably closer to 60. It’s not bad considering the water on the road.

I have the HD glossy screen protector from AO installed. There is a rainbow effect on the far right side of the display when I wear my polarized sunglasses. It’s not a deal breaker but it’s there.

Press in the left scroll wheel to pause the Podcast. I’ve noticed this problem when Tesla reads my text messages to me. The podcast doesn’t pause and I start to feel over stimulated from everyone talking at once. Lol

We drove to Richmond and back on Sunday. 98% of that trip was on the interstate going 70-75. I didn’t take a photo but the Wh/mile when we got home was 256. That was my Road Trip meter that you can just see in the bottom of my photo. None of my driving has resulted in averaging 295-310. That...

I own a Bolt and a Model Y. The MY regen allows for one-pedal driving without the need for a regen paddle. It will come to a full stop with just regen. No break pedal is necessary unless emergency or distracted/unsafe driving. I owned a Model X before the MY and that would not come to a full...

I’m pretty pleased with it in my daily driving. This is two days worth of commuting in the Northern Virginia/DC area. Yesterday and today. Half of my commute is surface streets at about 45-50 mph and a few stoplights. The other half is interstate at about 65-70. Temps were high 70s to low 80s in...

Yes. We have yet to use a Supercharger that allows us to pull through and charge. That would be amazing. We’ve charged sideways a few times when there was nobody else charging, and with the intent to move if someone else showed up to charge. Unhooking doesn’t take us long. While I’m...

It’s hard to say. I only towed it a few miles to donate some kitchen cabinets to our local Habitat For Humanity ReStore. That’s not far enough to get a good baseline. Based on my experience with the Model X and various ICE towing vehicles I expect to get about 50% of the vehicle’s rated range...

I received that chain hanger and tried it out this weekend. It’s ok and will do the job on my setup. I wish it was an inch or so shorter. I had to do a half twist of only the links coming from the clasp end to get it high enough so it doesn’t rest on the plastic. Over all for $8 it’ll do.

Does the MY have connections for mirror defrosters, does it currently have mirror defrosters? I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have a blinker connection. That would have to be wired in.
