I sent in a similar suggestion a while back, but for the Legends area north of I-70 instead of the unnamed development south of I-70. There are a lot of restaurants and stores already in the Legends area. I think the pin in the current map for the new KC location is not meant to specify an...

When charging using the UMC in my garage, and monitoring the voltage and current with the phone app, I've noticed that the voltage drops 5-6 volts between the first measurement, often at 0 or 1 amps, and when the current draw hits the expected 40 amps. I usually start at 249 volts, and it drops...

I'm shooting for St. Joseph, MO. But I'm not sure whether it would be best to just go there or whether to stage in Kansas City and then either go north to St. Joseph or east to Columbia depending on the weather. Unless traffic is horrific, there should be plenty of time for travel the...

Wow. Someone else old enough to remember Usenet. I get blank stares when I tell people there was an Internet before there was a Web.

This isn't exactly what you're talking about because you mentioned "every screen"... But if the night time view bothers you, and it certainly bothered me to the point that I disabled the auto-switch, note that you can up the brightness and it looks *much* better to my eyes.

On a recent trip I checked into a hotel. For car registration make and license tag, I entered "Tesla" and "BATTMBL". (Battery mobile, get it?) After checking out of the hotel, plans changed and I came back and re-checked into the same hotel, same desk clerk. Before I filled out the...

I've seen the advice to reboot the CID after an update, and I routinely do that now. But I don't understand... How could a large update like 8.0 not reboot everything as part of the process?

I just got the update too. My timing wasn't as precise as @bmah's, but it was between 1:05 and 1:10.

She said something about a stopped clock -- and then I stopped listening. :-)

I don't think it is as simple as a checkbox for fold/not fold when Homelink is activated. In my situation, whether I press the Homelink button depends on whether I'm first leaving for work/arriving home -- in other words, random. Worse, since there is no Homelink "Open" and "Close", it is just...

I'm right? I've gotta show this post to my wife. :)

Am I missing something? At 75MPH, the total trip time would be 1 hour driving time (75 miles/75MPH) *plus* the 1.33 hours charge time (8 kWh/6 kW) -- for a total time of 2.33 hours. Doesn't slowing down win by a landslide?

No. You'd think a 14-50 is intended for 50 amps, and that indeed is its maximum capacity. But... Cars are considered a "continuous load", and the National Electric Code limits continuous loads to 80% of the circuit capacity -- thus the 40 amp limit. To get over 40 amps, you need to use the...

My lifetime is 328 Wh/mi over 5338 miles. Most of that is interstate highway driving at 75-80 mph.

I've paid attention in my last few commutes, and I don't think what I said above is completely correct. I wasn't able to get the first lowering (from very high to high) to happen until about 34 MPH. Monitoring for the second lowering, I was able to go a steady 44 without triggering it. But...
