    Discussion of Model 3 Headlights

    It is in the FMVSS 108 when the DRL and signal are in the same housing or too close to each other. There are exemptions if the turn signal is at least 2.5x brighter than the DRL. Then there are cars that go completely around it by having the DRLs be in a totally different place. Like the...

    SCE gives $450 credit for driving an EV

    Got nothing. In fact I probably have to call in. I got the approval e-mail on July 21st. Went to check the website for status and now there's no record of my account at all.

    Model ☰ License Plate Ideas?

    The clerk gave a "You need to call the customer service line" type answer, while giving me the "why are you asking me this? It's not my job" stink-eye. --Carlos V.

    Front License Plate

    Sort of, yeah. The reason for the "sort of" is that the actual California Code is that if you're issued two plates, you display both plates, if you're issued one, you display one. Since California issues two plates, it's a no-brainer that a CA registered car needs both plates. However, if...

    Model ☰ License Plate Ideas?

    The only way to avoid a sequential plate is to already have the personalized plate in hand already. Give the plate to the dealer, dealer puts them on the car, and fills out the registration form assigning the new plates to the car. The only way to pick up a set of personalized plates is to...

    XM or AM?

    But that usually means you can't use your phone at the same time.

    Model 3 entry via ... keycard & app. No fob.

    In college, my day-to-day "wallet" was a keychain cardholder. Much like this: Amazon.com : ID/ Card Holder with Keychain : Badge Holders : Office Products

    Hazard lights switch in final interior?

    The closest I can see is FMVSS S.5.5.5 that the hazard switch be an independent switch.

    What are you going to dump.....

    VW e-Golf, because the lease will be up. Keeping the S2000.

    Spaceship like controls... hint from Model 3 Design sketches?

    Not really. All left-seat pilots in yoke or side-stick aircraft fly left-handed (and right-seat folks fly right handed) due to having only a single set of throttle/propeller controls in the center. Switching is not difficult. On top of that, anybody who drives manual transmissions already...

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    Ok, I guess I should say "I have big enough solar" that I'm not running a massive power deficit.

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    No. I have solar, and TOU-D-T is preferable for those on net-metering.

    Trying to figure out the best numbers for the car loan.

    Get thee to a Credit Union. Mine, for example, has rates in the 1.5% to 2.0% range if you've set up auto-transfer from your main account, and 1% more if you don't.

    Tips for new Tesla owners.

    Yes, I'm on SCE with solar and a TOU-D-T rate, which is 1 peak period 1 off-peak period. No super-off-peak. Peak is Noon-6pm non-holiday MTWTF, non-peak is all other times. Below are the current rates: This is after SCE reduced the on-peak period a couple years ago. It used to be from 10am...

    What Are Your Daily Driver Plans While Awaiting the Model 3?

    I have a VW e-Golf whose lease expires in the first week of March 2018. Considering the amount of pre-orders so far, I'll probably have long turned it in and will be back to driving my ISE Honda S2000 until the M3 gets delivered.
