    Thinkware U1000 Dash Cam

    Great post Didnt realize thinkware may be 5v. Stepping it down just introduces another point of failure. I believe you are correct. 16 and 32 cards should wear out quicker. Blackvue 64gb card cost me about $50. I hope it lasts me 2 years. My original lexar card I used lasted 2 years and it was...

    Radio upgrade coming soon for MCU2 upgrade

    Been streaming the AM stations off my phone recently even thought I do have AM in the car. Sound quality is just so far superior that I cant go back to standard radio. Recommend everyone give it a chance

    Thinkware U1000 Dash Cam

    I read good things about thinkware. I have a blackvue and it was acting up twice. First time I changed the sd card and it worked again but the problems came back. I thought it was a faulty unit but thought maybe it was the sd card since I used a different brand from the first time (used a...

    Do you regret AP3 upgrade with MCU1?

    Rumor is in europe they are going to be adding a digital radio. I saw it on some thread on some website. Hopefully that comes soon to USA MCU1 is becoming unbearable lately. I remember the days when voice commands worked every time. I will definitely do the mcu2 upgrade when available for my car.

    Due for new tires - 19" Michelin Primacy Anything better?

    I ended up canceling my MICHELIN Pilot Sport All Season 4. Seems like they are loud from my research. After a few hours of research I went with the continental purecontact ls tires. I really dont know much about tires but I feel they are better than my OEM Goodyear Eagle Touring. Had a 400-500...

    Due for new tires - 19" Michelin Primacy Anything better?

    I just bought some new tires from Costco MICHELIN Pilot Sport All Season 4 Total came out to $ 934.41 out the door for 4 tires with installation. Not horrible. I feel like prices went down on tires since the last time I bought some. 45k mile warranty on them.

    Do you regret AP3 upgrade with MCU1?

    Its not in my list. I suspect its because I dont have the electronic trunk standard

    Do you regret AP3 upgrade with MCU1?

    I think its too soon to tell. AP3 is useless for now. Dash cam and working sentry mode are nice I guess. I could do without them since I already have a dash cam running. They have both slowed my system down big time. Well see what FSD really offers in the coming months. That $2k sale price may...

    Samsung USB 3.1 Flash Drive FIT Plus

    On a side note I do use this and its been working fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BPG9YX9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I only mention this because I have always had problems with those super tiny thumb drives. They die much quicker (in my experience) compared to...

    Anyone use a Uniden R3 in their Model S (mounting/power options)

    At the time they didnt make uniden visor clips. Maybe they make them now. I had one from my previous detector https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Beltronics-Escort-Passport-detectors/dp/B00VKUR6AQ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=escort+radar+visor+clip&qid=1599626923&sr=8-1 I used that and trimmed...

    Anyone use a Uniden R3 in their Model S (mounting/power options)

    Try my visor clip idea. Its really out of the way and doesn't bother me. I think it would be an eye sore if it was right under the rear view mirror. Plus cops cant see when its under the visor.

    Anyone use a Uniden R3 in their Model S (mounting/power options)

    That wire is always on. Its great for a dashcam but not so much for a radar detector. Sure you can always turn off radar detector by hand. If you ever plan on putting a dash cam, keep that circuit dedicated to the dashcam.

    Anyone use a Uniden R3 in their Model S (mounting/power options)

    I wired mine into the cigarette lighter. Use a POSI-TAP and it will make your life easier. Remove the bottom side panel of the screen and you can tap into it from there. Then run up the wire from the back and the side of the A pillar. I had an r3 and loved it. Upgraded to the r7 and loved it...

    Any experience with the new Tesla home ev charger?

    Never heard of any issues. Normally these things dont give problems. I did have a clipper creek at one time and it did go bad, I had to warranty it out. Been using my Tesla wall mounted charge since end of 2016. Id really recommend going tesla charger instead of a 3rd party for the sake of the...

    MCU1/AP3 - laggy response time

    I had the same thing done. At the beginning it was just awful but after a few updates my system seems to be performing a bit better. Seems just as laggy as it used to be, before the ap3 update.

    How to add a HEPA filter to your non-Bioweapon facelift Model S!

    Yes and very inexpensive. I change mine out every year and you should see how dirty it gets. This is definitely an upgrade you should do. Order a few from filterbuy so you dont have to keep ordering them.

    A/C Compressor finally failed. But $3400??!

    There are gen 1 and gen 2 dc to dc . I was researching it yesterday. Apparently in gen 2 they moved the fuses so its a little easier to replace than the older gen 1. Instructions are available in the service manual

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    They are future proofing it. They know they will lose the NHTSA investigation and they have to prove how they will remedy it. A 64gb chip should never go bad.

    Tesla now repairing MCU1 with a new Tegra card for less than $500

    64gb? I think that's new good news. I dont believe the original chip was 64gb. Even the ones the 3rd parties are installing are 32gb swissbit chips. Id love someone who is more versed to chime in!

    What is 12v battery replacement cost

    I Had to get replacements every 18 months for my car battery. Decided to go ohmmu this time since im out of warranty. Working fine so far. If I never have to change it again, it was worth it I made a video about the installation Tesla quoted me $230 for their car battery which only lasts me...

    Free Unlimited Supercharging

    AC never stopped. I suspect something else was going on. Might be her AC unit need freon or something. She was hitting tier 3 constantly. Also had a model 3 that was constantly charged at home.I think that alone took $100 of the bill. $500 is still cheap for her her house and AC running all day...

    Installed a 12kw solar system for my aunt. Her bill dropped $500 a month to almost $30 bucks. Only cost 18k for the system. Solar is getting cheap and everyone should be doing it. Now Teslas installs it even cheaper! Its a no brainer

    Have you seen Teslas Rates? Not that much better California supercharger rates are 0.28 per kWh. I also saw that they are doing time of use on some chargers and it hit over 34 cents if in peak times

    Free Unlimited Supercharging

    Thats amazing. City departments are non profit. But Edison and PGE are for profit so we get the crap end of the deal. They changed their time of use schedule which is even worst now. Hard to run away from the high peak times. There will be a point where going solar and having battery backups...

    Not sure where those california rates come from. Los Angeles Department water and power is about that but EDISION AND PGE, which control most california, is far greater. They are also switching everyone to time of use this year.

    Free Unlimited Supercharging

    I know people (included myself) that wont sell the car because we have free premium internet and lifetime supercharging. Cost of charging the car exceeds gas prices if I charge during the day. My off peak is is at $0.15 but my high is at $0.56 and going up soon. I do have solar and that helps...

    Killing the brand with poor service

    Tesla autopilot and supercharger network is what is giving them the lead right now. Electrify america will change the supercharger network but no one is even close to teslas autopilot system. Really a shame that their support has gone to crap. I was pretty brand loyal until this past year.

    Killing the brand with poor service

    Lets wait till their sales start dropping then "customer support" might actually come back. Tesla is hot right now so it might be a while. Car support has now become a joke. I feel like they left an opening for rivals.
