As always, recommend you test drive the both to see which better fits your needs. Some of the differences on the 2024: Steering wheel with Yoke as an option vs 2022 Yoke Only More range and slightly faster charging Improvements to quietness and handling Adjustable Infotainment and rear seat...

have you tried a soft reboot?

Unfortunately a 2015 70D maxes out below 125KWh for charging and has a very different charging curve than recent models which can utilize 250KW. Combine that with its short range and that dictates longer and higher SOC charges. There are some long legs going around Page/Grand Canyon and SCs...

Based on this comment, when you plug into outlet (not using extension cord) or wall charger, do the amps ramp up towards 12/12A or 48A and then drop back to 1/12A. If so, this seems to imply that the car is requesting normal power and then scaling back as it can't handle it. Problem is...

Sounds like issue could be with either with your charger or the cars on-board charger that converts AC to DC. I would try charging a public level 2 charger and see if it acts the same or try using your UMC at home from an outlet and see if you get the 3ish miles expected from an outlet.

The key Love/hate issue for the Model X is the Falcon Wing Doors. If your kids are young, they can be great as they provide great access for car seats and boosters. If kids are older, then the slowness of doors opening can be annoying, especially when you have to re-open because you forgot...

I used abetterrouteplanner.com (ABRP).

The price of a used $35K Tesla S is $35K and DOES NOT qualify for the UCVC. The 11k trade in does not change the purchase price of the the car, it affects how much cash/financing you have to come up with to drive the car off the lot. The sales contract with the dealer will list the purchase...

Steer-by-wire is also currently used in trucks and buses that have rear wheel steering to control the rear wheels since it is not practical to do it via physical connection. There is redundancy: A) there are 2 motors to power the front steering, so if one malfunctions you can still steer. B)...

$9K savings is clickbait. Actual savings is between 1-4K Per the article "With the incentive, the starting price of the IONIQ 6 could fall from an MSRP of $38,615 down to just $31,115." However, the lowest MSRP on Hyundai website for Ionic 6 SE RWD is $42.5K and the cheapest MSRP I see from...

Agree should visit SC. Check if Mobile Service is an option, then you don't have to tow or risk driving.

Short answer, newer Tesla is usually better as it is more "future proof" as software/feature change. Currently, there should be no diff between the two cars for (EAP). The biggest difference between 2018 HW2.5 and 2018 HW3.0 is the MCU and that is only relevant for FSD. You would need to...

Route planners are designed to get you from A to B the most efficiently and given that most of the cross country SC network is on freeways, that is how they will route you. You'll have more success picking sites/places you want to visit and then route plan to them. ABRP allows you to set...

Welcome to the family. Keep grinning!

Setting your key to priority will reduce the chance that your wife's profile being selected if you both approach car at the same time - assuming you do most of the driving when both are in the car.
