Not sure if its any help, but I have been using the Alpicool C22 for 3 years now, with no problems. I even took it on a 12Kmile / 60 day road trip around the country last year with no issues. I'm not car camping, but it fits in the trunk with our luggage, and I can still open it enough to get...

No idea if it would work, but have you tried taking your single RFID card, and adding it as a key to your tesla?

Go to settings, select Navigation, and there are volume controls and mute/unmute button.

2021 M3 LR 18" 229 Wh/mi for 43Kmiles on original tires 255 Wh/mi for 20Kmiles on Cross Climate 2, up 11% 237 Wh/mi Lifetime (combined)

Not that its your solution, but kW = V * A / 1000, so 208V * 32A is 6.656 kW. Your screen shot shows its charging at 208V, which is not a problem per se, and might be Voltage drop on a long cable from the electrical box to the EVSE. It shows it is set to charge up to 32A, and is only charging at...

My use case may be different from yours. We didn't need the extra space, and test drove a M3LR and a MYLR on the same day. I preferred the M3LR, so that is what we got, but folks will answer both ways depending on what the like or expect. I've rented a MYLR on a trip last fall, and after driving...

Let me offer another perspective here, as the OP is in TX. I've made 5 road trips of ~4Kmiles, 2 of them to TX to visit our son. Personally I use TACC (traffic aware cruise control), and not AS (auto steer) as for me the pressure it expects on the wheel is awkward. [It has been a while since I...

I started by watching numerous videos, reading through the forums, and reading the manual (twice). Then I scheduled a test drive of both a M3LR and a MYLR, both the same day to see which I liked, or if it was going to be too strange for me. The guy who supported the test drive offered me the...

I don't think this is likely, but if your still trying to solve it... In some environments I've seen a single BT device trash WIFI in the 2.4GHz band. Any chance you enabled WIFI calling and are connected to a 2.4GHz vs 5GHz channel? You could try disabling WIFI on your phone for a day and see...

I also wouldn't expect a big savings. As a SWAG, my limited testing estimates Sentry mode on my M3 pulls about 210W. A quick google check estimates that not writing to the Flash drive only saves about 0.36W (~0.1%). So the question is does the FSD computer get shut down in this mode? That might...

I've made that trip (from Sonoma County to Denver) 3 times so far to visit our Daughter, but never in winter. I'd certainly bias toward the LR for reduced charging time in addition to AWD in winter. Down side is the 2020 won't have the heat pump, so I'd expect more power to keep warm. As a side...

As to relationship between air temp and battery temp, I don't have enough detail to know if the following applies to your case, but thinking as an engineer there is thermal inertia. I'm not a mechanical engineer, but that said: How long has it been sitting at the temp, how warm was it before...

Can't speak to the Taxi related usage, but a couple of his initial questions weren't addressed. 1) 7kW for 7h will only get you part way charged. 7kW * 7h * 92% (charging efficiency) / 221Wh/mi (EPA) * 1.6 km/mi = 328 km over night, or adding ~58% SOC for a LR (77.8kWh). Even if...

I expect its something that will need service, but always ruling out the easier answers... Have you adjusted the seat forward/back so you can comfortably reach the pedal?

Not disagreeing on actually inspecting the Tire tread, but I am not sure of the math on your 0.6 rotations per mile. I'm getting more like 3.6. I think the formula should be: Tr (tire radius) = Tw (tire width) * Ar (Aspect ration / 100) / 25.4 (mm/inch) + Wr (Wheel Radius) /2; RpM...
