    40A vs 32A -- Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    I would do the following: Give the old 40a mobile charger to the new owner of your 2015 MS Install a HPWC at your home with 40a max charging speed (No additional wiring changes needed, if you wanted to charge at 48a you would probably need thicker wire and a 60a breaker instead of 50a) Keep the...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Still holding. I bought 1x 11/24 @ 170 for $0.33 and I'm waiting to get my free beer ($.06) gain for joining in with you guys. 😅

    2023 S/W Holiday Update

    I have pretty low expectations for a exciting holiday update. The only meaningful thing I can think they might add would be the much talked about Tesla App Store but after watching this network packet capture video on YouTube I wish they would just clean up all their junk code before trying to...

    Battery Fuse Replacement 2016 Model S 90D

    I just dropped off my '16 MS90D for the fuse replacement. Fingers crossed it goes smooth and they don't mess up anything else or break anything. Luckily I have the v2 fuse on the bottom of the pack so it should be straightforward. 🤞

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Toyota or Toy-Yoda? That looks like someone's house! 😂 But serious.. they are building this facility at the "Mega site" in Liberty, NC off Rt 421 and it has seemed to be under construction for a few years now. I've driven past it a few times and didn't realize what it was until I read that...

    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    Just charged here and it was active.. was the 1st person according to the power meter usage. 😁 App showed 10 of 11 stalls available but no one else was charging when I pulled up. Maybe the predictive charger availability was in play, I didn't test each pedestal to see if they were all working...

    Supercharger Revenue

    Your interpretation is the agreement is with the network, I was saying it could be argued that "Supercharging" is using a high speed charger (Supercharger) made by Tesla. Before now there was no difference. I can't find the actual legal agreement (here, here) or what Tesla considers the...

    Supercharger Revenue

    So if these are Tesla Supercharger v4 chargers and a person has Free Unlimited Supercharging would that car be able to charge for free on these BP devices since they are still Superchargers? 🤔 Sounds like some potential legal questions of what is considered "supercharging". Is it using a device...

    The demise of the OEMs

    So if you take the relatively flat growth of GM/Ford over the last 5-8 years and put inflation on top of it does that mean that their revenue is being propped up by inflation ? For example 23% aggregate inflation in the US since Jan 2020:

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    You can look at the battery pack near the front passenger wheel and see a little door with bolts on it to confirm, but yours you should be a v2 since my 2016 pre-refresh 90 pack is a v2.

    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    I drove by last night. Tesla pedestal lights were not illuminated (no power to chargers) and the meter was still at all 0's so Tesla hasn't come by to test/commission yet. Hopefully on Monday 🤞

    New Utah law and FUSC owners

    found the loophole. "(2) The tax levied under Subsection (1) is imposed at a rate of 12.5% for a charging station operator that charges: (a) per kilowatt hour as described in Subsection (4)(a);" Just charge by the megawatt hour or Joules and then the law doesn't apply. $0.43 per killowatt...

    Tesla wrapping

    I should throw them a curve ball and get my 2023 Model Y with parking sensors (USS) at them to get wrapped. I assume that is why they have the 2023+ requirement since they newer ones dont have them. 😂 But serious, this seems like the "hint" that this is made for the Cybertruck and this is just...

    I dont think there are going to be many more magic dock installs since almost every other manufacturer have now adopted the NACS standard. Magic dock connectors were needed when CCS and Tesla plug were still in competition but now that NACS (Tesla plug) has won there is no reason for them to...

    Venting… loaner model 3 sucks

    No, there is no option to add it. Sometimes Tesla doesn't back-port/add "easy" things to the older cars. Cloud Profile, "Colorizer" and the update display when you are charging are a few examples Typical "Legacy" Model S/X Instrument Cluster (latest 2023.32.6 Firmware): New Plaid/Refresh...

    Venting… loaner model 3 sucks

    If you have a "legacy" model S/X you don't have the cloud profile in your car so it wouldn't have anything to sync. I have both a legacy 2016 Model S and a 2023 Model Y, the MS just shows a local profile and the MY shows my cloud profile (email address).

    Venting… loaner model 3 sucks

    Can you make a separate thread to keep us updated about your BMS error? Also, let us know you if reach out to wk57 since they were the ones who upgraded your pack and keep us informed about your pack upgrade experience. I was thinking about doing a pack upgrade in the future.

    Venting… loaner model 3 sucks

    When I got a M3 loaner I felt like the build quality was definitely way lower than my 2016 MS90D as well. I think if your phone was paired to the loaner you would have a much better experience. Did Tesla not add it to your profile automatically? Try to swipe left/right on your vehicle in the app...

    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    Update: There is no update, well nothing major. It did seem like Pike electrical was doing something to the sidewalk across the street but I'm not sure if that is related or not. There are 2 new pipes/conduit sticking out of the ground but still no sign of a big green transformer.

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    That is how I feel also: I could see their logic if the fuse was in the frunk or someplace else, but it is inside of the sealed battery pack. I got the warning message and scheduled service and they setup a time over a month out but have not given me any estimate for approval yet. I am hoping by...

    Tesla App 4.25.0 - Wall Connector Support

    I just got this setup and it's pretty cool but the setup was a little clunky on Android. It will be nice to see what they add in future updates. I dont have any real need for an app for it but I do like to geek out on stats. I already used Tewamo (for android) to connect to get some stats but...

    Why people tap the charge cable end on the car before charging?

    I find it funny that people in videos tap the handle before using it (which does nothing) but what I do is blow into the connector (like a NES cartridge) and give it a quick inspection to make sure nothing it broken or stuck inside before plugging it in. I would have thought my trend would have...

    It's $1750 for your non-AP car: Infotainment Upgrade | Tesla Support Personally, I highly recommend it!! I would say that even though the car does use a tiny bit more power after the MCU2 upgrade but this is because the car doesn't sleep properly anymore. Very odd sleep pattern after MCU2 and...

    That's because other manufacturers have to use dealerships to manipulate their pricing with "market adjustments" and can't do it directly like Tesla does.

    Pano sunroof leak?

    Weird, I parked on a hill nose downhill and had the same issue. I dont understand how water can get into that middle part and there is no way for it to drain into the corner drain holes. Did you ever find the cause and solution?

    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    The picture I saw 3 days ago on the FB group appears to show that this location is still missing the big green transformer and wires coming out of the ground (It would be to the left of the picture by @voyou). Unless Duke Energy was working over the weekend I would guess that we still have a few...

    New Wall Connector initially charges at 48A then reduces to 32A

    Just know that other "modules" inside the PCS can die as well. If, in the future, you are limited to only 16amps instead of 32, then know that another module inside the PCS has died and I would recommend you getting to scheduled to be fixed before the last one dies. FYI, my 2023 Model Y (Nov...

    That's funny that you should make up that rumor because I heard a very similar thing from a Tesla employee a few months ago. That the CyberTruck would pass Elon's test and become production ready once it was able to drive across the Boca Chica (SpaceX) Bay. 🤷‍♂️

    Supercharger - Annapolis MD

    I charged here last weekend and had no issues at one of the new v3 stalls. This location doesn't [yet?] have the tomahawk signage for the v2 vs v3 superchargers so make sure to check for the thick/thin cable and pick out a good stall to maximize your charge rate. I saw a lot of newer M3 and MY...

    The fire extinguisher box can be seen in post #23 and post #25. It's the red box mounted on the silver pole next to the trashcans. You can sort of see the extinguisher inside but if you are wondering what Class is in the box that isn't quite visible enough.

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    I swung by today, no change in the last 4 months. I didn't see any signs of construction related to Superchargers wherever they do plan to go so I assume this site is still a long way off before opening. I think they would be installed where the abandoned Kangaroo Express gas station was and...

    Nothing new to report for this location but it does seem to be holding up well over the last 2+ years since this thread was updated.
