    Charging battery properly

    Congratulations! Keep it simple. 1. Plug it in every night and set the charge limit to 80% and schedule it to start charging whenever your electric utility rate is cheapest. 2. Charge to 90 or 100 % (depending on how far you need to drive) when you're going to travel or drive a lot the next...

    Stacking 2 road bikes in the back

    Two bikes fit easily without any disassembly. I put the rear seats down and use cardboard between the bikes to prevent rubbing. Laying down flat and stacked, not standing up. I've done this so many times, I can't even count how many times I've done it. Bikes for adults, not kids. I'll find a...

    6 reasons why Tesla is failing, and they all have to do with design

    Is that to the first part or second part of my comment. Or are you just being sarcastic?

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    It weighs 4670 lbs. You'd be surprised at how many ICE sedans are heavier than a Plaid which has a battery alone that weighs 1000lbs

    6 reasons why Tesla is failing, and they all have to do with design

    It's time to move on I'd say! Tesla isn't going anywhere despite the all the "shortcomings" you've outlined. Just saying. I'm also in the same camp as you - my next EV may not be a Tesla, but that won't make any difference to Tesla.

    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    Ofcourse most people would install it if it was free. That doesn't mean it's worth it (the $ it costs or its "ability" to drive).

    My 2016 Tesla Model S 75D story - purchased June 2019

    A thorough detail after the winter and the summer wheels on. Some night shots of this old horse. It's been a blast so far!👍👍

    2021+ Refresh Model S wheels on Legacy 2017 Model S Reference

    Looks good! 👍 What is your suspension height set to here? It seems a tad too high IMO

    2024 Eclipse trip in a Model S

    How do you determine where the "totality" is? I live in Ontario, Canada.

    Model S cargo luggage carrier options

    This is on a 2016 S. I'm pretty sure a hitch is also now available for a refresh S. It's not really a big deal at all.

    Any experience with third-party warranties in Canada?

    @FrugalS This does not make sense now. 'In addition it is transferable to the next owner as long as it is a private sale. What really makes it a no brainer is if at the end of the warranty period : You are still the owner Made no claims under the warranty You get your money back (less the...

    Any experience with third-party warranties in Canada?

    This is helpful, thanks! I'm still on the fence about signing up. My battery warranty is expiring soon.

    My Taycan vs. My Model S

    @Struja - I have a question about the drive modes in your Taycan. I really enjoyed everything about the "Sport Plus" mode other than the "harsh" ride on not so smooth pavement. Is it possible to configure the "Individual mode" to have the exact same parameters as the Sport Plus mode except the...
