    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    The biggest deal for me is not the actual range of the battery right now, it is more about how I could actually use most superchargers out there with a trailer in tow. I'd say nearly all of them are just standard parking spots. Unless you find the right parking lot where you can pull in sort...

    Anyone switching to a Rivian R1T after watching reviews?

    Normally, I would say my experience with mobile service as been great (12V battery died and they came 2 days later to replace it), though when they had to replace the front tow cap cover on the bumper, (which they broke during the battery replacement) they have showed up with the wrong part 3...

    Are the Cybertruck's looks growing on you?

    The pictures from new york actually looked quite different to me. (other than the shape) The metal looked much more reflective.

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Depends on the person you get. Some people go "by the book" and others just work their tickets if they know how.

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Corsair support stated that if the Eaton UPS supports 65hz and is in front of their PSU, then it is completely safe to use their power supply in the 63-65Hz range. As far as the ATX Spec, that only requires that a power supply must operate in the 47-63 range. I do agree with you that it is...

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    Thank you sir.

    UPS, part 2

    That is how most are. The time of the transition depends on how much load being placed on the powerwall. The majority of them will be exactly as you described but they can be longer.

    UPS, part 2

    That's what I mean. Nothing other than than the ability to account for 10s or so max downtime. No other features are necessary.

    Will We See A CT Price Increase?

    That's still ambiguous, and a presumptuous interpretation. How they are actually treating it "currently" is that you can make changes to your vehicle up until you lock in, and are subject to price increases (such as FSD) at the time of those changes. That's what happens right now. If you...

    UPS, part 2

    Not to be repetitive, but I can confirm all of these models work without any changes or calls to Tesla. 5S700, 5S1500, 3S550. They are a bit pricey but you don't really need any of the normal UPS features since the Powerwall itself is what is your real battery backup.

    Powerwall 2 + UPS Connundrum - and solution

    I replaced mine with Eaton units. Keep in mind, they don't really need to perform a UPS function if they are on a circuit backed up by a powerwall, they only need enough battery capacity to properly fail over until the power switch. Eaton units are a little more expensive but they all worked...

    Almost 15% range loss Model 3 Awd

    Since it has been a while I am going to tag up with them again and see if their tune changes. They did give some long blurb about re-calibration and how the software guesses the range blah blah... of course everyone else's Tesla car does that, so it should be apples to apples. After about a...

    Almost 15% range loss Model 3 Awd

    They said it was within normal specs. It has gone up a bit after a few patches but hasn't degraded further.
