If you haven't gone already, just use the Hamilton, TX charger. It's not that far out of the way time-wise, and is how I make the trip. Sad that the Early charger seems to be hella delayed.

Not educated, but I don't think it matters to be honest. My car opens the vent and runs fresh air through the system after getting out of the car if the A/C was used. So, whether you are fresh or recirc while driving, it's gonna be fresh when you get out. All Model 3's (and maybe Y's?) do...

One difference you might notice if you're on the highway with Autopilot a lot is that the new M3P will not have radar-assisted AP. It's going to be Vision-only. Lack of radar on newer models causes a severe uptick in phantom braking, and you'll notice this especially because you're used to a...

Update - so far so good still. The car occasionally gets a mild funk in it when first started, which I think is due to condensation remaining in the filter area and getting mildew on it, but the filters themselves are likely not mildewing. The smell is no where near as bad as it has been in...

I'm not 100% sure what actually gets stinky, but I do know that every time I replace the filters, they've turned sulfur-yellow and are really gross. It's also the only part of my system I felt comfortable testing my possible solution on. Yeah, running the A/C usually causes it not to smell...

Can you link me? Wouldn't mind seeing what kind of technology they use.

I have seen things as large as leaves stuck on the filters of my car - I would hate for that stuff to get wedged in the evaporator as it would be nearly impossible to remove without damaging it.

Considering the silver in a Samsung fridge doesn't mess up its electronics or compressor makes me feel a little better about it not messing up my car's A/C system. I wasn't terribly concerned but any information like this is helpful. Thanks!

Haha the people that turn blue ingest a LOT of silver. Like teaspoons of the colloidal mixture on a daily basis for years. Also, it has to go through your stomach to cause you to turn blue, not your lungs. It reacts with stomach acid.

Yeah, I've done quite a bit of research on colloidal silver, and know some people use it as a kind-of home remedy or preventative by ingesting it orally, which I don't recommend. I would say there is a huge difference between ingesting the liquid directly on a daily basis and spraying a small...

I live in Austin and my A/C filters have to be replaced 2x a year, and even with that they stink half the year. It's very humid here, even in my garage, and the car's A/C stinks to high heaven. So I thought of a potential solution. The last time I replaced my filters, which was last fall...

Did a little more research and here's what seems to be happening. The V1 of the ProContact RX is discontinued, and now there's a V2 Tesla OEM version available: ProContact RX T2 Tesla If you want a summer-only tire on your 19", these Hankook seem to be what Tesla uses for those. EDIT - I...

This tire seems to be their "summer only" offering, whereas the Continental is their all season offering. Tires are really complicated to sort through!

FYI this tire is on closeout on tirerack.com now. I wonder if they're just stopping selling it, or if Continental is not making it any more.... Linky EDIT - Talked to tirerack.com and Continental is actually discontinuing the original ProContact and they now have a T2 version. Link here. No...

Looks like Tire Rack is discontinuing the Tesla-spec ProContact RX. I wonder if this means the tire itself is going away, or if Tire Rack itself is discontinuing it. I really don't like any other tires currently available for my car due to efficiency reasons, and all the EV-specific ones...
