    Choosing a 2022 or 2018 M3LR AWD

    Battery warranty on both is 120k miles, but the 2018 will also expire in 2026 assuming you stay under that mileage. I love my 2019. I have heard of some recent problems with and getting parts to repair PTC heaters if they fail. If this remains true, it would be a vote in favor of the 2022...

    Supercharger - New Albany, OH

    Any update? I was in the area earlier this week but didn't think to drive by.

    General Altimax RT43 --> RT45

    Just wanted to post a long term update on the General Altimax RT43 tires on 18" Aero wheels. Tires have a UTQG of 700 and a mileage warranty of 70,000. These are long lasting tires on a car famous for going through tires quickly. It's not difficult for me to believe these tires when...

    VCFRONT_a447 in a 23 MYLR need to go on a quick trip 200+ miles, okay to drive?

    For me it would really depend whether you have working heat or not and forecast temperatures when you're driving. Windshields tend to fog terribly under 40°F with no heat and you'll end up driving with a window open. You're a danger to yourself and others if the windshield fogs inside, IMO.

    Tesla Charging Adaptor (SAE J1772)

    Your EVSE is failed. Part of the purpose for the "release" button on an EVSE is to open the contact to the high voltage to your EVSE's plug. The whole purpose for it is to monitor a resistance across two signal pins and then (and only then) enable a relay that energizes the 120/240V pins in...

    Tesla "Service" Strikes AGAIN (200th time)

    Unfortunately this is by design and isn't exclusive to Tesla. Had same experience with GM, which updates a warmer exterior temperature immediately, but doesn't update a colder exterior temperature for 15 minutes. At least in the Tesla case, the temperature does slowly and gradually trend...

    Chicago area superchargers failing in cold

    Was looking for details on this beyond the news story. Sounds like telematics failed and stations showed empty when there were lines at a couple. I guess Oak Brook was the one in the video.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Scale of Net Premiums vs the last few days is crazy. Instant 50 vs single digits.

    2023 Model Y Puck size (austin build)

    The puck centering knobs that I 3D printed for my Model 3 years ago were 25.7mm and fit snugly enough to hold the puck in easily. So snugly in fact that I've driven away with one still attached and had opportunity to grab it 10+ miles later when I remembered that I didn't put it away. I...

    Supercharger - New Albany, OH

    Will be great to see this one get built. I was very near the location today but didn't know where to look. I had to divert 15 miles west of here to Worthington Campus View through a traffic laden beltway today to get enough charge to go back east.

    AltiMAX RT43 Installed today.

    Just providing some late follow-up for anyone interested in RT43 or now RT45 General Altimax tires. My tires have made it to 60k miles and could have probably done a little better with more attention to rotation. I went a little long this last time between rotations and am nearly at the wear...

    Supercharger - Columbus, OH - W 3rd Ave

    Looking forward to this one and Ripley WV. Just wish there was something coming around Buckeye Lake as well.

    Green light chime stopped working completely

    Sorry to bring back a zombie thread, but I'm experiencing the same behavior. No more green light chimes and very intermittent Home Link since software 2023.32.7. I'm installing 32.9 now with the hopes this is resolved.

    Supercharger - Ripley, WV

    Checked in Friday and things are in the same state - power at meter but cabinets down with covers on.

    Supercharger - Ripley, WV

    This spot is great placement on the interstate, although the Sheetz has a bit of an odd traffic pattern to get to, and from memory the lot is pretty crowded already. I pass through and would probably take advantage monthly.
