    Should they add stalkless driving to Model Y?

    per the Joe Rogan podcast, Elon elaborated how it'd work. It would use parking sensors to assume D or R based on obstruction. Override would be on the touch screen. I say go for it. It'll reduce some build cost by eliminating the stalks.

    How I upgraded from NEMA 5-15 to NEMA 6-20 for $66

    Good job. I did something similar by using existing conduit for a single 120V run and adding 2 - 10AWG hots and 1 6AWG ground to create a 240-30amp circuit next to the existing 120. Great when you're handy!

    Just finished my first "road trip" and I am not happy with range

    This is why I'm looking forward to the 500 mile Teslas. Plenty of buffer for cold conditions. In a year I plan on trading in the 3 for a 500 mile Cybertruck or cross my fingers the new more efficient battery cells come out for the Y.

    Tesla Wall Charger, how to tell the difference between Gen 2 vs Gen 3?

    I prefer gen3. Glass front and smaller footprint is appealing but most importantly, the cord is much thinner , lighter and manageable, similar to the one that comes w the car.

    I spoke w a Tesla mobile ranger on the need of disconnecting the high voltage battery prior to the 12 V. The book calls for it to be disconnected aside from safety by disconnecting will clear the service 12 V battery soon message.

    12v battery must be replaced soon

    If I was in this position I would purchase an aftermarket AGM battery and be done with it. Size 51R seems pretty close to the original.

    Charging at Home need help: Extension cable, outlet, new cable?

    Tam covered it well. You may also want to consider having an electrician either moving that outlet closer to where you want it, creating an outdoor outlet, or depending on how long you plan on living at your house, installing a more permanent outdoor station on the outside wall of your garage...
