The Buc-Ees location in Royse City has been approved by the local government there. That's is immediately off I-30 at exit 79. I have not seen anything yet on time frame for completion but haven't been paying attention either.

I'm interested but cannot find a copy of the contract/specific terms anywhere on your website.

Just for clarity, I'm using Android and have no experience with iPhones.

I've never seen this (2018 P3D-). What I have seen is the phone put the app to sleep (essentially) and the car won't recognize me until I tap the app notification (or open the app completely). That wakes it up and then the car lets me in.

It wasn't something that was showing up immediately after installing. It took a few months to a year before most people reported a problem. I'm going off my memory here so I could be off. IIRC it started in a thread about a 14-50 outlet catching fire. I filed it away in my head as "if I ever see...

There's a good chance this is related to the install of your charger. If there is too much resistance it will cause overheating issues but show up as a problem with the car. There's a thread around here somewhere about it. Basically, it was typically caused by the electrician crimping some...

Like others, I plot it on the Tesla nav when I first get in the car. Before that, though, I add it to ABRP as a saved trip from my PC and then pull it up in the app on my phone once in the car. When they differ, I change the Tesla nav to go to the SuperCharger that ABRP recommends, and then...

Be sure to file a "Homestead Exemption" on your house. It's free and will limit your property tax increases. Companies will offer to do it for a fee, but it's a simple 1-page form you can do yourself.

What I read (in either this thread or one elsewhere) was that the phantom drain savings wasn't due to self-discharge but because of the vampire loads while the car is parked. Those loads take more from the SLA battery and therefore it needs to be recharged more frequently. The claim was that the...

Thanks for the first-hand info! I'm gonna claim I got it right when I said it was just a bonus. :D

After reading some more on another forum, including replies from the Ohmmu founder himself, I plan to buy one of their batteries sometime after my car hits 50k miles. That should be in about 12-13 months, after which my OEM battery will no longer be warrantied. If it can really last 4 years...

Just read this entire thread (my 12V warned me yesterday and failed today) and noticed it lacks one pertinent fact. The Ohmmu battery is a lithium ion iron phosphate battery, not a simple lithium ion. These have a much better temperature window than standard Li-ion, particularly at the low...

I would love it if Tesla added native support for MyQ openers. Although I've had better luck with HomeLink than I have with MyQ the last few weeks. I've been using MyQ for about 5 years now and it's mostly been reliable until recently. And I also learned they got rid of the web portal and you...

I have the premium interior and DID replace them with the 3D Maxpiders because I have young kids and wanted all-weather mats. I can confirm that they are awesome!

For the people having trouble with HomeLink, I have a possible cause/solution. On my older garage door opener, there is a wire that hangs down a few inches. That wire is the antenna. If you tuck that wire out of the way so the whole thing looks neater, it has a serious effect on the range that...
