    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    Okay, a little more slope, but still mV are being measured. Just swagging, 0.2V for 20% in the middle. 10mV per percent.

    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    You are mixing apples and oranges. The new speed control is what is handling the speed, it's brand new and needs some tuning. Previously and if you turn it off, the car follows too closely. AT 75 mph, it stays back maybe 3 car lengths, way too short. And I'm sorry, but leaving enough space for...

    Charging Limited after Update

    Supercharging doesn't use the onboard chargers, The onboard chargers are the AC to DC converters, Superchargers charge DC to DC. It needs to be another L2 site, destination charger, J-1772, NEMA 15-50 to validate.

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    Not sure why it's not scientific, that's the one thing that it actually is. It's collected under very specific situations and should be accurate in those situations. Yea, other automakers really don't collect and publish that that type of data, but Tesla does compare it against the best data...

    Solar Powered Tonneau Back Bed Cover

    You need to review a few courses on how solar panels work. There really is no magic solution, unless the cells can raise and reorient themselves. Go take a look at the Aptera. They had to design to a ridiculous 0.13 CoD to get their range Vehicle | Aptera AFAIK, there is absolutely no...

    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    Let's see what happens in the future where your reaction times start getting longer, vision starts going away and you can't see anything after dusk. You seem to expect FSD to be perfect, it's not even released yet, and still has a few releases before it will be. It is expected that you monitor...

    Charging Limited after Update

    It's now showing 24/24? Or is it 24/48? While I hope not, it may represent failure in one of the charging units. See if you can find another L2 with more than 24A charging and see if the problem exists.

    Tesla app tells me a false software update for the car, but in the car there is none

    I think that it has happened to a few people in the last year. AFAIK, it clears with the next update.

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    It depends. People try to measure Insurance as if was Apples to Apples, it's far from it. Different people, different histories, different vehicles, different ages, different cities all make big differences.

    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    I am getting your point. Even mA impact the voltage. Sure, it may not be much, but that's indeed what you are measuring with the BMS, mV. BMS doesn't have to guess going from 100-0%, it can measure the current and make a determination. Now of course that it going to be off a little. But then...

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    First, you don't state the term on you poll? Month? Quarter? Yearly? "Tetonic shifts" don't occur in 2 months, the length of time 12.X has bee widely available. You pay $101/month and don't see that the max value of FSD could be more? Much more? I guess you don't value your life much. I know...

    Forming an LLC (or S Corp) to lease (yes, lease)

    Stop doing it. There were very little costs that I was applying anyway. It's not as if I was trying to deduct $100,000.

    Forming an LLC (or S Corp) to lease (yes, lease)

    It was a few years, but to begin with it was producing all my income and then effectively none of it.

    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    Dou you not know that when stopped for traffic lights that the computer is still powered up, tail lights are on, A/C is on? When millivolts are what you are measuring to determine capacity, millivolts matter. Plus the simple answer, WHY do you need to?

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I had the 88 mile Leaf, it certainly helps you get over range anxiety pretty quick These kids today just don't know how well they have it
