You are thinking that programmers leave their computers! Most that I know never leave them except to eat and go to the bathroom. ;)

Oh I agree and totally understand that. I just hit my funny bone that only expert and careful drivers get it.

So I would think this should go to bad and unsafe drivers first. They are the ones who really need it! Seriously though it is nice to see this actually starting to be available.

I may or may not agree with your damage assessment but time alone deteriorates roads and the money to repair and/or build needs to come from someplace - in my opinion the people/equipment that use it.

Yes that is correct. It appears at home charging does not get the additional fee. I am guessing it is because it would be a nightmare for the power company to separate the charging usage from other home usage. Stand alone chargers are obviously for charging vehicles which would be easier to...

I can understand states needing to create some type of fee structure for electric vehicles since the current state of fees relies on collecting gas taxes. But it seems Iowa is piling on both sides. Beginning Jan 1 2020 and increasing each year in three stages fees for BEVs are $65.00 (2020)...

I have to say that the very first picture that I saw because of the cloud reflection it looked like you had several dents in the rear door and quarter panel and my initial thought was WTF. But then I scrolled down and saw the rest and realized it was just a reflection.

I don't have a tuner to install at this point but I am wondering if they could make this change whether or not you have one installed. If they would make this change during the swap of MCU then whenever I got one to install then it would be already setup. Or does this line of code require...

Thanks for correcting my stupid mistake.

Here is some quick math. 110 x 22 (week) = 2200 + (my guess for weekend) another 500 miles = 2700 miles divided by 300 w/mile - 9 kilowatts. $200 / 9 = 22.2 cents per kilowatt. Now that is also assuming no loss but efficiency is at best 90% from wall to car so that makes rate closer to 20 cents.

I have the same issue on my Model S. I contacted service and they stated it is a firmware issue that they are working on. On my car if I try to use the app to turn on climate then when I get to the car I also cannot use the climate keeper. That clears with a reboot. I also am in Iowa so I...

Not true that changing lanes cancels autosteer. If you use the turn signal to change lanes it will stay engaged.

So did you READ his post? He states he was parking there to -- I'll call it inform -- that the chargers were not working in those spots. He has been in contact with Tesla and they are aware of what he is doing.

As someone who works in aerospace on LCD displays I can tell you this about what is being seen. This appears to be delamination. This is a very difficult thing to get right and much of our competition has issues with doing it correctly for long term use. There are many variables as to how fast...

Wow, I have been trying to figure out how to repair my cases as well. Couldn't get anything other than a replacement key for ~$300. Couldn't believe they wouldn't sell just the plastic case. How do I get one (or two since I have two keys in the same boat)? I am not sure what the rules are...
