I really hope these are magic dock equipped from day 1. Would be even more amazing if it was actually a true V4 station that supported 800V too.

I am debating between ordering a set of new tires for the 21s to see how much of an improvement just tires can make vs. the smaller wheels, or just putting the 19s back on. 21s look nicer but the steering feels so much heavier and less responsive than the 20lb per wheel lighter 19” wheels I have...

I’ve got almost 18,000 miles on a set of 19” wheels with Hankook Ion Evo AS SUV tires on my GT. I just put the 21s back on with the OE Eagle F1 tires and holy crap, I can’t believe the difference in range is as bad as it is. Whereas I was averaging 2.9-3.5mi/kWh in winter on the Hankooks/19s...

It’s strange to me most of the new V4 installs don’t show up as being open to every EV even though my understanding is they have magic docks built in? Is this correct?

It’s a bit unusual these don’t show up on the “charge your non-Tesla” tab in the app if they have magic dock support

Tires can make a 25 mile difference. We put a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II on our LR AWD 3 and believe it or not, but energy consumption spiked by nearly 40%. I was shocked. After 1000 miles the consumption hadn’t improved so we swapped them out for the Michelins and energy...

I’m wondering if the tire difference is why the range has dropped 25 miles from the 2022 LR AWD. I’m at Tesla in Charlotte, NC with my friend picking up his new LR AWD 3 and it has the Hankook tires.

My friend is picking up a new LR AWD 3 tomorrow and I’ll be interested to see when he gets home how many kWh of energy the pack holds and how much more efficient it is vs. his ‘19 LR AWD 3. He’s going to have both cars for a few days. He did the FSD transfer deal. I think once we see how many...

I am having issues with setting up my new phone as a phone key. Logged into the app and can access all functions of the app, except one… phone key setup. I am running iOS 17 Beta 5 and don’t know if that’s the cause of my issue, or not, but ever since getting this phone about a month ago I have...

I am struggling with your reasoning that using a Tesla J1772 adapter on say, an EVGo, ChargePoint, SEMAconnect, EA, etc. charger is fine, but using anything non-Tesla with a Tesla made HPWC is unacceptable, even if it causes no damage. If third party NACS-to-J1772 adapters are so terrible, even...

Interesting how they allow you to unlock and use destination chargers in the Tesla app with these shoddy charging adapters. The adapter I have is made by Lectron, not some random person in a garage. Tesla owners have no problem using Lectron adapters at CCS or Chademo stations. You seem to be...

There’s really no difference between using a third party adapter with a Tesla HPWC and using Tesla’s adapter on a third party J1772 charger. Does every destination charger have its warranty void as soon as it leaves the factory because someone may use an adapter on it? Tesla is playing two sides...

I plugged in the Kia when I got home and so far it has charged for the past 1.5 hours without an issue. I bought an IR thermometer and the highest temp I’m seeing is on the charging wand itself, right at the end, and it’s about 128°F. Ambient temps in the garage are around 93°F. It doesn’t feel...

I’ll have to try tomorrow when it is hot outside. They can tell by the logs if a Tesla or non-Tesla is charged on the WC. I’ve tried three different adapters and it’s done it all three times. It’s ridiculous to me they allow the WC to charge non-Teslas if this means your warranty is void. I...

We have two Gen3 HPWCs in our garage at home. We have two EVs. One Tesla, one Kia EV6 GT. I recently noticed the charge rate was being dropped on the HPWC the Kia charges on (with an 80A rated Tesla-to-J1772 adapter). I contacted Tesla and let them know I was seeing the one flashing red light...
