The NEMA 14-50 HPWC was replaced by the Corded Mobile Connector: Corded Mobile Connector. Like the 14-50 HPWC, it supports the full 40A charging rate a NEMA 14-50 is capable of (the regular Mobile Connector only supports 32A). Get it while you can - they never stay in stock for long, but they...

This is why I bought my Stealth. I could have gone full performance but I didn't want the rougher ride of 20" wheels and lowered, stiffer suspension in my daily driver with an 85 mile daily commute. Nor did I want to deal with having to immediately swap the summer tires out for winters on my...

It's official!

Ladies and gentlemen, Kokomo is live! Topped out at 85kW starting at 35% SoC on a chilled battery, so not a good measurement there. But it's alive!

My one experience: Ordered Homelink from Tesla Shop After a while, didn't get any contact from SC Went ahead and scheduled a service appointment in the app to install Mobile Service (3 1/2 years Tesla, 24 years Merc before that) came to my work, installed Homelink in about an hour. He made...

The steering wheel torque sensor becomes super sensitive when you are signaling to change lanes. The slightest turn of the wheel disengages Autosteer but leaves TACC engaged. Once you're established in your new lane, you have to double tap the stalk to re-engage Autosteer. It definitely takes...

When you consider that Merc, BMW and Audi include auto lane change in their ~$1,200 ADAS packages while Tesla doesn't include it in their $3,000 (baked into the price of the car) Autopilot and wants you to pay $7,000 more for it, yeah. Even so, I'd still pay $1K for it, probably even $1,500...

Sentry events don't really consume power. Having Sentry Mode active keeps the car awake, AP computer and cameras alive and consumes about 250Wh/hour, whether you have 100 events or 0.

I am banking on either a subscription model or them unbundling the different features (i.e. being able to pay individually for auto lane change, basic summon, parking assist, smart summon, NoA). IMO the reason FSD isn't worth it right now is that it bundles features you don't need or won't even...

What? That's shocking. Ask the body shop why they cannot PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) it.

I have seen this in my 2020 Model 3 with HW3 as well, also when opening the browser and bringing up the first webpage. It's clearly an MCU bug.

Looks like everything's more expensive in the UK... the Performance is 19% more expensive, the SR+ and LR are 25% more expensive. Doesn't seem out of line for an upgrade to be 30% more expensive.

According to the info plate, it's 500VDC @ 350A, which is 175kW. That's a V2 - V3 is 250kW. Unless they're doing some kind of crippled V3 that has V2ish speeds but doesn't do A/B power sharing.

The brake pedal reset is not a thing on the 3. That is only on S/X. Open the door Without sitting in the car (just lean in, and don't put your weight on the seat) perform the Safety & Security / Power Off shutdown Leave the door open Wait until the door locks (3-5 minutes) and it is shut down...

"Why do people key Teslas so much?" Huh, I wonder.
