    vehicle specific charging capacity considerations

    Wondering if Tesla Navigation considers a vehicle max charge capacity when determining SC stops? My '17S 75D peaks at ~130Kw so SC V 3 & 4 capability is lost on me and I will sit at a stall longer than a newer model. If there is a SC V2 along my route maybe I should be routed there and let the...

    Soft start for my new replacement HVAC Carrier system

    I have a 5 Ton Lennox 2 stage compressor and variable speed air handler. I don't need the soft start even when running much of the house on my gas powered portable generator (7.5 kw). The comp alwasy starts on stage 1 (low) and the air handler fan also starts out very slow and ramps. So the...

    Strange rainbow effect on windshield

    I have a similar look after applying 3M film on the inside of the front windshield for heat rejection.

    Rear Window Tint

    I did 5% on rear pass and hatch windows. I think the 5% is darker than the top glass. But I don't have a pic showing it.

    Power use while plugged in but not charging

    the cars system will not show current draw for things other than charging. For example, if you are plugged in and turn on the environmental controls to cool or warm the car before a drive nothing will show on the app or in the car for current draw. But your wall power supply may show you...

    Delayed start of drivers screen after AP3 upgrade

    17 MS FSD AP3 and MCU 1, same thing here on 36.11 software. The good thing is my phantom drain is way down so I just assumed they improved the sleep. In the AM I unlock the doors via app before going out to the car so I don't have to wait in the drivers seat for it to turn on.

    Did you get the Auto pilot HW3 upgrade and do you see Cones?

    I think the car sees the cones though. My 17 MS with MCU 1 has navigated through construction cones even though it doesn't show them to me.

    Just got my car vinyl wrapped and the proximity sensors no longer engage

    If they removed the bumpers (plastic covers really) with the sensors and did they plug the harness back in when they put them back on? Some time they pull a lot of the car apart to get the wrap tucked into the seams. Also if they did disconnect the harness is there a reconfig process to get...

    Extension cord for dryer outlet.

    I purchased a Might Cord RV extension off amazon. Works great.

    Do you regret AP3 upgrade with MCU1?

    I have a 17 MS 75D and got AP3 hardware a month or so ago with MCU1. Yes MCU1 is slow, but it doesn't affect drivability or FSD use at this time. I don't get traffic cone images on the IC but the car seems to drives through them just like a MCU 2 car. Given how many times FSD has been put on...

    Chademo Adapter

    I’m fine with something like that. Give me a text at +1 (832) 623-5280 and we can set something up if you’re still interested.

    Chademo Adapter

    I will sell you mine. $425 plus shipping. I never use it. Still have the box.

    Model S strange indications on display

    are you sure its not the traffic lines showing up. I haven't noticed brown but they do get pretty dark red. I would think a traffic circle might be so slow going that you would get the darkest color.

    Is this Supercharging throttling normal?

    That's beyond the throttling I read about if you SC too much, which it doesn't sound like you have.

    Why are Car Nav % Remaining Predictions so Wrong?

    of course the onboard system is giving you a conservative estimate just like an ICE car fuel gauge. You can always go past the needle hitting empty or the miles to empty readout saying zero. Call it a little built in reserve as long as its constant you can learn how it really performs. But...
