Mine triggers on the LED flicker from neighbors’ Christmas lights

Castro Valley supercharger was removed from the recent "Find Us" map update :'( However, they also added a 2nd Hayward charger for Q2 2021: Find Us | Tesla

Another thing to consider is some people are willing to pay a premium to have the car right away (rather than wait weeks/months to get it from Tesla) Also list price is not necessarily the selling price. The buyer might negotiate a lower price and these sites would not know.

Still here as of 12:02 am lol. Maybe there is a grace period.

Mazda CX-9 has two rear radars, which is the usual way RCTA is implemented. https://owners-manual.mazda.com/gen/en/cx-9/cx-9_8gc7ee17g.pdf Even if computer vision is very good (100% reliable depth estimates) back up cameras may not have enough resolution/field of view to detect stuff at the...

IMO the charging fees are accurate, the main source of error would be ABRP’s ability to estimate your consumption. I would suggest making sure the weather and driving speed are set realistically.

Maybe they know exactly what they’re doing and just wanted a convenient parking spot :mad:

Tires are tires, Tesla buys them from the same companies as everyone else. If you need winter tires in your area for your current car, you’ll likely need them on a Tesla or any other new car as well.

I agree, I was hoping the bank would realize there is nothing to repossess should OP default on the loan. Maybe they would suggest a situation where OP could stop paying, eg bank asks Tesla to refund the money.

Also, it’s not worth legal action at this point. Imo you still have plenty you can do by escalating the issue with the bank and Tesla, preferably in writing and showing that you are collecting a paper trail. (At many companies, customer service is trained to ignore ppl who threaten to sue - they...

Have you explained the situation to the bank? Jeff has a good point, I would emphasize that you don’t know the VIN anymore. It aligns your interests and the bank’s interests. They might be able to suggest a way to stop the payments if that is a concern, eg Tesla refunds the order and bank...

just an educated guess - Two cars in the garage at the beginning, the “new design” car is clearly a model Y. Channel’s other videos show a recent Y delivery but not 3. The narrator never actually says that he’s showing the new frunk design on a model 3.

In case anyone else runs across this frunk comparison on YouTube. It’s fake - the car in the back is a model Y.

Anyway, the chademo adapter is probably not worth it given that the trip would still take way longer than driving in a gasser

Just to satisfy my curiosity I did the same route with chademo allowed. There is a Francis Energy station not too far off 40 which saves only 1h17m compared to a detour to the Lowell, AR supercharger. (It would have saved more, except the chademo adapter is soooo slow, which eats up some of the...
