    AC not blowing fresh air

    When my 2020 LRMY HVAC does something similar I will lower the temperature setting in large increments, i.e. 5 degrees) until the system responds. Usually the system will start blowing colder air in under a minute.

    Strange Wall Connector issue

    What is the approximate location or Lat/Lon if you prefer? If you live in swampy region then corrosion of the electric utility meter head or even the electric panel could be the culprit.

    Tire Pressure and Range - One Mans Test Results

    Yes. 44 PSI measured in the A.M. (not in direct sun) before driving. I would add that this winter I set the tire pressure at 43 PSI at an A.M. temperature of 43F (easy to remember). I left the tire pressure this way from December '23 to March '24, only recently lowered the pressure by 1.5 PSI...

    How old is the home? I am not an electrician, only waiting for one. A manager where I worked was remodeling their kitchen. This summoned all sorts of electrical demons into the home. They tried everything to find the source of their problems. Nothing helped. The problem was eventually traced to...

    A home improvement store grade 14-50R, i.e. Leviton Model 279-S00 is OK for an electric oven or range.

    Road Trip Going Through Major Cities - Trunk or Frunk for Security?

    The front trunk is more secure but limited in space. I've never read a report of someone breaking into the front trunk. The most common way to break into the Tesla vehicle is to break the opera window panel or the rear door glass. The thief then flips down the second row seat looking for items...

    Blink public charging issue

    There is usually a Blink EV Charging Network phone number displayed on the charging station. (The Blink toll free phone number I recently had need to call was 800-663-5633.) In my experience you will be connected to a call center in Mumbai, India. The Blink Customer Service representative will...

    326 vs 330

    The difference is < 1.2%, within the margin of error. The battery health test may have been run and these are the results. It is so close to 330 miles should not be considered in your decision. Instead of the range estimate, look at the mileage on the vehicle. I would only recommend purchasing...

    America's tire lifting model Y without jack pad - is it safe?

    Does the pink slime appear on both side rails? Did you recently take your Y to a car wash?

    Spare tire - Modern vs StanceMagic vs Tsportline

    My understanding is that the production airless ribbed tire design will include a sidewall to prevent debris from getting in between the ribs and for appearance.

    Leaking blue liquid

    That looks like dried windshield washer fluid (the blue generic kind). There could be a crack in the plastic washer fluid reservoir (typically this crack can happen at the neck of the reservoir.) Washer fluid will leak out from the crack until the fluid level is below the crack. Does washer...

    Windshield Defogging issues

    Did you have Recirculate Cabin Air turned on? If the passenger cabin is fully loaded and everyone has wet shoes, umbrellas, etc. the relative humidity level inside the vehicle can quickly become 100%. Turn off Circulate Cabin Air if this happens again.
