    Poll: Do You Plug In Every Day (for daily driving, home charging)?

    I'm in the "Other" category, but only because if it's the weekend, or if I'll be heading out soon then I don't bother, but really I should be in the "Yes" category

    Cup holder inserts making cup holders to small?

    I wonder why the people who make cupholder inserts . . . don't make cups too! Seems like a lost income stream to me and don't take this the wrong way but this is the epitome of a First World Problem 🤡

    Poll: Do You Plug In Every Day (for daily driving, home charging)?

    For daily driving, I wouldn't bother, but my commute is 80 miles round trip so I generally keep it plugged in overnight, just do it as a matter of course when I get home I also do this so that when people tell me they can fill their icemobile up in as little as five minutes, I can tell them it...

    Bought a model Y that I thought had clean title and found out it was salvage

    I always wonder why people do things like this. With a little more effort, they could probably have built a thriving business that would have generated income for many years, but instead . . .

    Anyone received the TCEQ $2500 Grant Money for buying an EV in Texas?

    Wait I looked into this when I bought my Y and the website said it wasn't available for the Y This was October 2021 mind ... so has it changed since? (I guess so)

    Paint flaws on brand new March 2024 Model Y, Deep Blue Metallic color

    This won't help I know, but remember that while 10,000 itself is a big number it's Supercharger miles (whatever those are) but in $ terms it's like $100, maybe $200

    100% or 80%.... myth?? [preparing for a road trip]

    . . . unless (and yes I'm being pedantic here) it was time to go and you were only at 90% 🤡 but I take your point and if I was doing any kind of a long trip I'd get it to 100% first if I could, just because . . . runway behind you and fuel on the ground etc

    100% or 80%.... myth?? [preparing for a road trip]

    I'm not sure I understand: the only way it would be faster is if you left with enough to skip one of the planned stops ...or do you mean that if at your first stop you were supposed to charge to 60%, then that would be faster if you arrived with 40% rather than 10%? That certainly makes sense...

    100% or 80%.... myth?? [preparing for a road trip]

    That's a valid point. If you want to do the whole trip on one charge, then maybe 100% at the start would be the way to go, but if you'll be stopping to charge on the way, then remember that you'll charge faster the lower the SoC is (think of loading the trunk with suitcases and how easy it is at...

    Plugging in to charge port difficult sometimes?

    Maybe the deadfronts are coming loose
