The big advantage of side camera is when pulling up to a drive-in window and you want to get as close as possible so you can reach across. Or really curvy drive-ins with curbs ... shudder.. I have to park between 2 SUVs. Backing in and pulling out means I can't see any cross track until...

Those are all old school. Why be old fashioned? You're a Tesla owner and EV trend setter! Implants.... That's what's happening now! tesla key implants - Bing video You're welcome :cool:

Thanks for replying Rocky. Actually this was more about optimizing battery range and life. The 90% is to trigger the Battery Management System (BMS) to start to balance the battery. It seems it can take a few weeks of this to recover lost range. There is just too big a difference in the...

Great Video. Thanks for the link. Very informative. Too bad not a single word of Tesla's recommendation is in the owners manual. wtf eh? So 80-90 is fine. I wish they would reveal the voltages, but guessing 90 is still well below the highest voltage that would signal a drop to float...

It wasn't the warning I was searching for, but rather the max recommended charging level on a daily basis. I use TeslaFi and will charge to 90+ when prompted by the app. Otherwise I slow charge it to 50-70 at work (16A) during the week. The fact a warning is given at 91 vs 90, indicates...

I haven't seen this anywhere either. I just scoured the Owner's Manual (v2020.4 is now downloadable from Tesla) and it seems to me Tesla went out of their way to make no recommendations at all as to how much you should charge your battery. I even searched for 90 with no hits related to...

I did a 6,100 mile drive from Coral Springs, FL to Pocatello, ID via way of Denver and Salt Lake City. On the way back I went an even more adventurous route so I could drive thru all the gorgeous scenery (sorely lacking in South Florida) in Utah and New Mexico. Part 1) Pocatello, ID to...

My wife drives only 12 miles a day. Here next car will be a used leaf.

More like when you come around someone and pull in front while still accelerating... Zapppppp... you are gone. Also as kids (3 boys, poor mom) growing up in a dry desert we would zap each other with zap each other with static electricity that would really make a loud popping sounds as you...

ZAPPP! Matching plate that is black with white letters.

I think it was 18 months ago. :(

I did a 6,100 mile trip last summer. Some of it thru the southwest with long stretches with few or no superchargers. Had lots of fun using aBetterRoutePlanner with waypoints galore since i didn't plan to go the way the car defaults too and it let me make sure i could go the way i wanted...

After standing in the rain a couple times I finally fixed the problem forever!! ...... by getting the key for $150. So much cheaper than buying a new phone. I removed the phone as a key so I could leave my phone in the car if I wanted (or forgot it was charging and the car remained unlocked)...

in both cases there was a solid white line cutting across to the other lane.

Did a 6,100 mile trip in an SR+. Just plug in your destination and go. Its that simple. :)

Now I have to wait for HW 4 for FS-OR-D (offroad). Pull the trigger on it when it comes standard in the Cybertruck. FSD will be common by then so I am guessing AP to FSORD will be around $3K.

I heard that only the cars with HW 3+ will get it :(

I was curious which rack that is and how much the electric bike weighs that you have mounted. I assume it holds 2 of them.

Ahhhhh... I was wondering since I didn't see an external BMS. No wonder these are so expensive since you are getting a new BMS with each replacement. They should have a generous core replacement I would think. Thanks for the info guys.

The USB of choice is the Solid State Drive (SSD) these days. Not too big a one (128 GB is good, but you can go larger) and a well known brand name to be safe from fake USB drives. There are some gotchas so I recommend you check out this site by Telsa Tap that talks about USB drives for Tesla...

That's encouraging to know its lasted this long. I was curious what the max voltage its taken to when charging. It would be interesting to see a graph of voltages while in use/charging if you have that data. Having lived on a cruising sailboat for 20 years gives me some insight into charging...

Lead Acid batteries and Lithium batteries have completely different charging algorithms. They have different absorption voltages. They have different fully-charged voltages. Your Lithium battery will not be properly charged. Hopefully there isn't an automatic "equalization mode" built into...

You need an inverter, not an adaptor. 1200W 12v to 120v is easy and there are lots of them for $150+... Amazon.com

Car can be reconfigured via car's cell. Mine was.

hmmm.... i read somewhere that Tesla will turn off FSD regardless. That the upgrade must be purchased by the current owner. Since this is possible to do OTA and there are no laws in place to protect the user like bolt on parts. Learn what all the options are called. Get everything in...

maybe wait to see what is revealed come the mid-May battery chat that Elon is planning. Might be some interesting battery options coming up soon. I would think you could pick up a battery from a wreaked M3 LR. Guessing just a software update. Have you asked Tesla about this option? I've...

Check you reading skills. What makes you think I was scared? Did you infer that because my wife was getting upset when a couple guys started getting into an argument next to the car? Are your wife and kids are more use to it? And no, I did not know there was a police station across the...

The should do a HW2.5 to HW3 upgrade only. No FSD or EAP. Someone said the HW3 was a $1,300 part. No clue if that is right. Is that cost? Retail Cost? To swap it out you have to take out the dash. So .. how long 3 hours x $150/hr.

Hope it works out for you. That would be awesome. In my case the salesman said I would get it for taking delivery on the last weekend of the 2019 2nd Qtr push. A change order was even placed to make the car EAP. I took a long road trip (6,100 miles) and about 1/3 of the way thru it I stopped...

I can only say what I would be willing to spend based on the factors that I find meaningful. Your will be different. I am fine with that. Sorry, don't know who this Brian is. If you have 2.5 you will have noticed all the visualization they are no longer displaying. Bicycles/pedestrians 3...

wow... didn't know that happen and I work 1/4 from the airport. Are you sure you have the right galaxy? This happened late 2019.

I bought my car and took delivery on March 29th of 2019. The salesman told me that since I was purchasing AP I would get the advanced features of NoA, Summon & Self-Park (I learned weeks later this was called EAP). A day or 2 later I got EAP (Dealer later confirmed a change order was put in...

When I picked up my car at the Dana Beach, FL SC after getting the factory paint fixed (took around 2 wks!!) the car was extremely dirty. It was so bad i got dirt on me just getting the door open. It had a thick dirt all over it and after it had for a few minutes just to make it look even...

I agree with the Geo Location controlling the auto lock. Seems like an obvious thing that should have been there from the beginning. Could also implant the key like these folks... telsa key implant - YouTube

Holy smokes ... opps.. sorry :D but those seat get so hot!

how come everyone is telling him what to try to fix the problem with the Y when he has already returned the Y and is still going to get the 3 instead?

I've used Electrify America. They are pretty mainstream. EvGo also support Chademo. You'll want to use www.plugshare.com for locating them.

More like the sudden de-acceleration and almost causing an accident is super annoying. :(

Which hardware version do you have? 2.5 or 3? I have 2.5 which lags horribly with cars making a left turn. Brakes getting applied AFTER the car has cleared my lane or even completely cleared the entire street. Just had a bicycle suddenly make a left off a sidewalk in front of me and I hit...

Which hardware do you have? 2.5? 3? I have 2.5 and I think that lag can be a major factor. I see that it's displaying a lot less images than it used to months ago. My car brakes way after a car has made a left turn in front of me.

I was there a couple hours ago. The first SC I tried on the south side didn't switch over to green. Moved to north side all the way to the east SC and that worked fine. This is NOT a great location. Lots of people yelling. Some homeless women came up to a guys car at the gas pump and used...

Assuming plugged into 120v circuit = 120v x 0.142 A = 17.04 Watts If 240v = 240v x 0.142 A = 68.16 Watts

On the charging screen you can set the time and max amps to use to charge. From the manual.... 2. Adjust the charge limit by touching Set Limit, and drag the arrow to move the charge limit setting. The setting you choose applies to immediate and scheduled charging sessions. 3. The current...

I have the SR+ and made a 6100 mile trip. Some time was spent off the beaten path with no Supercharger Stations (SS) in sight. The longest distance between SS was 206 miles and it was not pretty. Even though I had started in 101F temps with 100% charge and driving 5 mph below the speed limit...

While supercharging in cold (for central Florida) at 5am, the car made loud banging noises while I was sitting in the car. Scared the *sugar* out of me. It was that loud. Every once in a while it made the noise. I've had the car for a year and that's the only time it did that.

Great information and an interesting read. With our outside parking and a Florida 4 story condo building I am on the only 1 with a EV. I am going to have a touch time moving forward with this.

Thanks for the information. I was curious if you had any pictures of the end result. All our parking is outside so I am not sure how it compares. Thanks.

I could care less if you believe me or not because i didn't post the videos rather than taking my word. and as I stated, but you didn't seem to pick up on, was i didn't have EAP when i picked up my car. I wasn't until later the next day.

Hi Larry, I live in one of the Century Villages in Broward County. As of last week it now has a single ChargePoint so they are on their way. This is a expensive way to charge a car on a daily basis. I just need level-1 (v120 20A minimum) go plug my Tesla SR+ (250 mi range) into and I image...

You are wrong. It was added to my SR+ (purchased/delivered 3/30/19). I had NoA (scary, needs work), Summon (slooooowwww), and auto park (just as slow as summon). Tesla even acknowledge the change order that was executed to add EAP. I thought it was all part of AP. Only learned weeks later...
