    Do you need fire suppression for 3x Powerwalls in Northern California?

    Does this mean that the 'stacking' of two Powerwalls is no longer allowed in jurisdictions that enforce CRC R327? Any idea if this means horizontal distance? Or just 3' distance period? My best logical placement for the Powerwalls would be on side yard concrete walkway against the outside...

    MY road noise?

    OK, now that I've put in a few dozen more miles on the car, I'm more impressed. Whatever caused the initial rattle is gone. Driving around on different asphalt surfaces and at 75mph+ on freeways, the noise level seems more muted than it was in the Model 3. I've warmed up to the handling as well...

    How’s the sound system in Model Y?

    I had the Model 3 with premium audio for 2 years (VIN 144xx), just took delivery of Model Y (VIN 31xx). Here's my quick observation, based on about an hour using the same playlist (some Strauss, Bach, Holst, GusGus, Donald Fagen, Röyksopp, SHAED, Lindstrøm, Pink Floyd, Pat Metheny, The Orb...

    MY road noise?

    Got my Model Y AWD (VIN 31xx) on 20" Inductions two days ago, switching from Model 3 LR RWD (VIN 144xx) on 18" Aeros. <HOTTAKE> Model Y rides rougher, seems louder, feels less connected to road, more rattles. </HOTTAKE> Only driven less than 10 miles, will know more soon. Big upgrade in space...

    What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

    2003 VW Jetta GLS Wagon to Model 3 LR RWD (waited for 3 announcement for a long time, day 1 reservation). Yeah, I'm surprised at my patience. Kept the Jetta for kids / backup.

    TeslaCam vs Aukey dashcam comparison

    A 32GB memory stick = 4.7 hours of saved footage = 28 saved incidents. A 128GB stick = 22 hours of saved footage = 132 saved incidents. Math: TeslaCam saved videos are 30MB/minute/camera, hitting the Camera button saves last 10 minutes and uses 900MB from the memory stick. On a 32GB stick...

    TeslaCam vs Aukey dashcam comparison

    I got the 2019.5.4 update today with the new 3-camera TeslaCam capability, so I decided to put together a couple of short comparison clips of the TeslaCam against a $70 Aukey DR02 dashcam. The TeslaCam with the new software records with the narrow-view front camera and the two fender-mounted...
