I once heard heated garages during wintertime rusts out cars (and other metal objects) faster by raising humidity levels and causing condensation. Edit

Same here. Always parked outside. Never an issue

So I'm thinking of upgrading my receptacle to an industrial grade one so it can more handle the abuse of things being plugged/unplugged. I have two receptacles on the circuit with the GFCI button one not being the receptacle i plug the car into...

I think 14 is a bad idea. I have a 25 foot 10 gauge and even that makes me nervous. You have both a length and width issue. My Mobile connector has to stretch to the max (as in clotheslining with wire strain) to reach my car at the nearest point i can park it...that's why i'm forced to use an...

I'm sure the main reason they warn you is because there is no way to stop morons from using $2 16 gauge extension cords which will cause a fire. I actually have a 10 gauge not 12. I'll rewrite the post. 10 gauge is way thicker than the wiring that goes from your electrical box to the 120v outlet.

So you have the same concerns I did when seeing those holes and then thinking about all that could go wrong having an expensive unit exposed to the elements. If you are using the standard 3 prong adapter: 1) Buy a super short 10 foot 10 gauge cord like this one on...

I think this proves Elon Musk's assertion that FSD is generic enough to even drive on roads outside of North America pretty well.

Can't guarantee all countries have that. Yes, this is about gathering data nobody else has. Depends upon the local speed. It may not necessarily be as small as you think. Obviously for FSD training the cameras are uploading clips from cars and I can also watch youtube easily all day on my...

I have a rattle way in the back of my 2023 Model Y. I think it is the strut for the trunk.

Not sure if this has been discussed before (I'm sure it has) But let's just watch the first few seconds of this Figure AI robot demo for a sec and then think about what Tesla may add to the car by leveraging a "a realtime Tesla camera swarm" in a similar way. But instead of you asking the...

I'm sure the non-North American Tesla owners on here would love to strangle us on some of the gripes they constantly read considering they get to experience nothing. I can imagine their murmurings..."the car drives too close to the curb in turns..is that it..those #$%# Americans"

Tell that to the sell-out management who took the buyout money and ran. So whose happiness interests do you think were they looking out for...somehow for some reason you think they put the average worker's happiness first....

Unfortunately profits are what pays people's salaries..not smiling faces.

Hmm...I doubt they need thousands of LiDAR test cars. Maybe they anticipate some governments requiring Robotaxis to have a secondary backup driving system.

If personality was a requirement nobody would be buying iPhones back in the Steve Jobs days. My ex-boss used to report directly to him and said he was an insanely temperamental guy. Also I once learned when working for a financial firm with a hot-headed Portfolio Manager. To his boss Me: Why do...
