Im curious, what RV model is that? Im not sure that's the most efficient one. Perhaps its better looking and that's why it was chosen. https://digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/video/upload/f_auto,q_auto/Model-Y-Utility-Desktop.mp4

Thank you, you both summed it up really well. I will explore adding a socket, it’s a good investment.

I’m trying to find a solution to charge my e-bike in the garage. I could get an electrician to alter the small circuit box feeding my Tesla charger, or find an appropriate adapter that will convert to a NEMA 5-15. I found this adapter but it is not NACS, it is J1772. SUSUTOO J1772 to Nema 5-15...

Interesting, I never realized newer vehicles with v12 already have a Li-ion battery. Mine (Match 2021 MY) is just a few months older than the cutoff. Luckily I live in warm climate :)

I hope you read the (somewhat biased) article from the NYTimes on the weather struggles people had this week with their Tesla. (TL;DR: apparently people don't pay enough attention to how to operate their vehicle in extreme-cold conditions...) In any case, they interviewed a former Tesla...

I wouldn’t be able to park the CT in the garage, my MY barely makes the gate :) I wonder how it would be to wash it. I hope it’ll be super easy due to the stainless steel. Any thoughts?

Hi, I’m tired of washing the car at the shop and paying $50. (I don’t have a garage, plus the Y is huge!). was thinking of getting ceramic coating to make it easy to self-wash at a coin wash. However, I’m not sure if it’s reasonable labor-wise to apply coating, as the car is two years old and...

This happened to me. Important notice: 1. If you ask during the service they might very well cover, as this is a common issue. 2. the Tesla ranger who came to replace said that they are about to introduce a new steering wheel which prevents the bubbling/blistering issue. It might take up to a...

This happened to me. Notice - the Tesla ranger who came to replace said that they are about to introduce a new steering wheel which prevents the bubbling/blistering issue. It might take up to a year until it comes out so you might want to delay the “in warranty” replacement (I couldn’t because...

I asked service. They said the fee is for a 1 hour general diagnostic (I guess it's not easy to replicate). They said, however, that if the issue turns out to be in warranty, then they will waive the fee. Sounds reasonable. I guess they had to many customers abusing the free service visit, so...

My Model Y started making click sounds from the AC (near glove box). I searched and saw this has been reported by multiple people. I scheduled a service with Tesla and they want to charge me $240 for general diagnosis. Should I complain, let it slide or avoid the service? 🤷

When I replaced my tires a month ago I asked the tire shop about alternatives (more specifically, about the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus), but they recommended me to purchase the OEM tires which I did. I don’t believe they had any bias there. I’ll dig into this again in 2-3 years...

Ok! I found the answer - the rear bar sits higher from the roof (that’s because the roof is a few cm lower than the floor at the back, so it compensates for it). So if you need to be sure, just measure the bar height from the roof. I measured on the split between the bar and the mount, so it’s...

I didn’t pay attention to selecting the right crossbars (rear and front). Does this look right to you?
