The GVWR of the Bowlus Rivet is 3500 lbs, which is exactly the same as the maximum towing capacity of the Model Y. Each to his own, but that is too close for my comfort.

Tesla’s own former AI engineer trolls the company: ‘full self-wiping’.

As I said, pull-through chargers need to be signed similarly to handicapped stalls. No reasonable able-bodied person would take a handicapped stall if another is available, and it should be made clear that pull-through chargers should be reserved for towing, unless all others are occupied...

Until someone without a trailer uses the pull-through SC. I still have PTSD from Morongo CA. I contacted Tesla to suggest they put signs on pull-through chargers, similar to handicap accessible chargers, saying something like "Designed for Towing - Use Last".

Greetings fellow Bowlus owner! This thread explains that Tesla stopped supplying power on the 7-pin connector. Do you have an older Model X or how did you deal with that?

Time to change the thread title to: "Roadster 20XX" or maybe even "Roadster 2XXX".

One of the many problems with a gas generator is that state and national parks typically limit the hours when you can use a gas generator. A portable power station is expensive, but the gap is getting smaller thanks to competition. I found an amazing year-end Anker deal from Costco. Or if you're...

I believe this device would violate the Tesla New Vehicle Limited Warranty: under exclusions on page 9, it says "Using the vehicle as a stationary power source". Use a device like this at your own risk. Personally, I recently purchased a Portable Power Station to extend boondocking with our...

Trailer house batteries should power the refrigerator.

Good to see you and your gorgeous trailer, @DelPhonic1. To the best of my knowledge, the refresh Model X did not add power to the 7-pin socket. That should not affect your Tekonsha controller or the trailer brakes, so long as your trailer can power its brakes from the house batteries. That's the...

Exactly. I realized this before I reopened this thread. PlugShare data is currently not the solution.

I didn’t mention PlugShare because I find its trailer info more wrong than right.

Any updates about a wiki or database? I like the early suggestion from @ohmman and would like to add my own: Unhitching not needed. Most trailers will not block traffic. Pull-through where you can exit without backing. Unhitching not needed. Most trailers will not block traffic. Pull-in where...

A key difference is the tradeoff between bed capacity and cab size: personal trucks tend to have shorter beds with crew cabs, while work trucks tend to have longer beds with regular or extended cabs. That said, I find it interesting that Ford, which aggressively markets to commercial fleet...

You described the Model X: an SUV that seats up to 7. Same for the Rivian R1S. The Cybertruck is quite different.
