I'm all for doing all I can to use fewer resources, For example, I switched to CF light bulbs before anyone else I know and then to LED bulbs / fixtures when they were very expensive. EVs make economic sense when you can keep electricity costs lower - and in places with lots of nuclear or...

Hello. Have you ever measured the height when at lowest air suspension setting? I have an underground garage at work and wonder if it fits. The official height is 190.5cm and my work garage underground parking has a 190cm warning. Does it go below 190cm when at the lowest suspension?

You can always add a new driver. Just add your old account's email as a driver and everything just works as far as the app and control of car.

Has anyone measured the height of the CT when at the lowest suspension setting? I'm asking because at work we have underground parking and I prefer to park underground in winter. How low does can go?

This is true, I ignored the environmental part because I remember the mining of cobalt and rare earth materials has some consequences. I was most surprised that the running costs in Canada are unbelievably low. If I charge from 11 pm to 7 am, I pay only 2.8 cents/kWH which is around 2c USD...

FWIW, Home charging is the key to maximize the value of driving an EV. When you travel, destination charging at hotels you stay tend to be free. I would use it when I can. Superchargers are for the times when you need a long road trip. In Ontario, Canada, we have this ultra-low-tiered...

My experience is - always check with tesla service center first. I had a rear trim molding crack. You can find the part on ebay, aliexpress and evopartsonline etc. The tesla parts was about 1/4 the price and no shipping charges if you walk in and buy one (if they have in stock). Still...

For MS and MX, I've been using aftermarket rims and basic tires from a store in Toronto concord area that specializes on Teslas and exotics. Comes out to about 65% price compared to tesla supplied rims (used to be way more). At 4000, the tesla model X options aren't that bad and I would have...

Btw, after I switch to Ultra Low pricing for my electricity, it's now no longer 7.3c from 7pm to 7am. There is a 2.9c 11pm to 7am - which is when I charge the teslas. There are other per kwH charges like transmission etc, but my charging costs basically halved for the tesla. However...

Is there really anyone who had anything else other than the emmc (flash memory failure) issue when it comes to the MCU. Basically the real fix is to replace the tiny flash emmc module with something much bigger and it should take >20+ yrs of recording before failed blocks can show up. It's...

Does anyone have a source for black plastic lug nut covers for the model X wheels? The chrome ones are 21mm inside and 30mm long. All the ones I’ve seen are 19mm long or less. Has anyone found one long enough to use on black wheels?

The tricky part is I setup a 6 gauge cabling from main breaker box to an auxiliary breaker box in garage. There’s 2 14-50 receptacles and each has a 40amp circuit breaker. However they are connected to a 60amp breaker in main. So I can’t charge both at 32amps or it will trip the 60amp...

Teslas are very heavy because of the batteries. The tires are also XL (extra load) to be able to handle that mass. What we learnt from our time with light cars may not apply here. I won't get too worried above 40psi, but below 40, I would definitely think about the weight of the car pushing...

Actually, I'm serious. My wife has given me the task of moving the wet laundry into the drier every night at midnight. Because dishwasher has wifi and is programmed to start after 11pm. I really mean that bunching most electricity use after 11pm will safe real cash with ULO. I suspect the...

Good to know. Some people believe that LFP should always be charged to 100% without consequences, and some updates from users is that they've seen 10%+ reduced range from always charging to 100% within a year, which should be a warning to minimize the number of times you really need 100% even...
