I don't recall the specific supercharger (northbount at bottom of grapevine on I5?), but tesla nav said we had reached the supercharger location in the back of an outlet mall, but the superchargers were nowhere to be found. Kept driving around the stores and finally found them way on the other...

AS works fairly well on the freeway (best lane is the middle lane on a 3-lanes each way freeway so there's little merging into and out of the lane by others, etc.). But since I got the car in June, AS always moves to the outside of a turn, especially when the road turns right. It gets fairly...

Thanks everyone. I'm anal (and cheap), I refuse to use blended braking and have any of my inertia turned into friction heat. I'll just have to anticipate the lower regen rates and slow down sooner until I get full regen. If I have to use friction brakes, I want to apply them myself so I know...

Last week I needed to run a few errands. The car was not plugged in / didn’t need charging-was probably around 35%) and since I didn’t know until the last minute, there was no time for scheduled preconditioning. Ambient was around 50 degrees. I got the limited regen dots due to cold batteries...

If you don't have electric connections for your bike rack, don't turn trailer mode on because you are not pullinga trailer. I pull a boat and also have a bike rack (use both every werk). Trailer mode automatically goes on when I plug in the trailer. Does not (and should not) when the rack is...

I had to run 50' of 6 gauge in a conduit to my detached garage because it only had 120v. Put in a nema 14-50 cuz I got the mobile charger with the car just before they discontinued including them. Due to the required location, had to get a $75 nema 14-50 extension cord. Worked okay. But the...

Aha!!! Thanks. Makes sense.

I could have sworn it automatically turned trailer mode off in the past. My wife wouldn't have known how to turn it off. But maybe I just didn't it subconsciously. That reminds me, just got back from towing the boat. Heading back to the garage to turn towing off. 😉 Okay, just got in...

Anyone know how big a 2022 MYLR (Fremont, June VIN) is? 81Kw? I'm trying to understand how EPA got 330 miles on a full charge; if I know what the battery size is, I can determine what the wh/mi has to be to hit those numbers. If it's 81kw, then 81/330=245wh/mile. Sound right?

I'm pretty sure in the past when I disconnected my trailer lights after towing, the car automatically exited Trailer Mode. It knows to automatically go into trailer mode when I plug the lights in, but now it doesn't exit when I unplug. If I'm not paying attention, I or my wife may drive for a...

Nice. I tow a Ski Nautique 196 (19'6"); all told it is right around 3,500#. Best tow vehicle I've ever owned (although our MB GLK250 twin turbo diesel is really good from an economy standpoint). I tow about 12 miles each way, mainly flat on a freeway and an expressway. I think my average is...

I only tow my 3500# ski boat short distances to the lake (about 12 miles mainly on a freeway and expressway. What I see is probably a 45% drop in range. That said, I have a MB GLK250 (diesel) SUV that is about the same size, weight (diesels are heavy), etc., and my fuel economy drops about 45%...

Thanks everyone. Good point on the driver simply claiming there is no video. My friend has 'uninsured motorist'; it really comes down to whether or not their insurance company will spend the time to go after this person; doesn't seem likely without her getting an attorney. As everyone knows...

Friend was T-boned by a Tesla driver (don't know what model); the Tesla driver was deemed at fault by cops (although they didn't give a citation), but Tesla driver said no insurance; supposedly a dispute with their insurance company. Our friend and everyone in her car had to go to the hospital...

Oh, regarding settings in the app and in the car, why wouldn't changing a setting in the app not change it on the screen in the car and visa versa? That seems bizarre. If I have scheduled charging on and decide I want to change it to scheduled departure and want to change it on my phone, I...
