I'll start anticipating it in 2025.

For me, hot days are 120 OUTSIDE. I've seen over 160 for an inside temp. I wish I could keep it active for more than 12 hours.

Thanks for the info, everyone. I guess I'm just more of a nerd than many, wanting to know how it all works.

Well, I know it won't spontaneously combust or anything. But I also know it's not good to leave Li-Ion cells at elevated temperatures for long term, especially at high SOC. I think there's a lot of Leaf owners that can attest to this. The Chevy Bolt does this and it is well known at what...

At what temperature does the battery conditioning cool the battery? Does it vary between plugged-in and not plugged-in? Does this vary for battery type (wife has LFP, I have NCA). It's supposed to hit 114 F next week and I want to know if keeping it plugged in will help keep the battery from...

x1000 There's a stretch of highway that makes several sharp-ish curves. Humans will always move to the side of the lane on the inside of a curve. I can't believe they don't know this and program the car to hang to the inside instead of wandering to the outside. I always have to override AP...

I would plan on White Hills on the way to Vegas and Wickenburg on the way back.

He only responds on Twitter and I'm not allowed to be on Twitter yet.

Yesterday I found this thread and was looking into doing this because my wife absolutely needs lumbar, especially since I have the LR for trips so she'll be the passenger on long trips. Hope this gets worked out.

Got fed up with trying to communicate by text to arrange final payment by ACH and just went to Tesla to talk to a sales person. I realized afterwards that I was probably just texting to a bot. Hard to tell the difference between a bot and the average customer service rep that just uses scripts...

Yeah, but I can't even do that. I moved a while back and the banks and credit unions here suck so I just stayed with my old one from out of state. Everything is online now so it didn't really matter. But no way to get a cashiers check and they have a complicated wire transfer policy that...
