Separate names with a comma.
If a non paint repair is needed (eg, just flexing the corner of the fender a bit) I wouldn't worry.
Yes, it goes off the steering angle sensor. Fun fact: If your alignment is off, and the steering wheel is off center when going straight, the icon...
IIRC it's to do with where the balance weight or valve stem should line up.
Behind the front grille is a small radiator. On cool days, when the car only needs to cool the battery some, it will use this radiator to cool the...
I imagine the service center could order this part for you. For USA cars, 1077407-00-F is the part number for the right rear reflector. Looks...
There are two wires / probes that measure the conductivity of the fluid. Some fluids, like rainx, coat the probes so they don't conduct properly....
Sure, you can get tinted films. There's also options like DupliColor Metalcast paint if you want something permanent.
The Model 3's brake pedal is connected to the iBooster, which is connected directly to a conventional master cylinder and ABS install. the...
In our prior Touareg, I had to use a trailer plug adapter with some resistors in it to make the trailer control module happy. IIRC I got it on Amazon.
Interesting. I'll let BigEarl know!
Yup, this. In addition to the Model 3, we have Fiat and GM EVs. Both have nice points, but the Tesla's power, fast charge network, and great...
They're power only.
Yup! There’s a Lisa 2/10, a 2/5 (but the profile is the rarer 10mb version), an IBM Portable PC 5155 (an XT with the guts crammed into a case with...
How warm did the UPS get in this test?
Check the about this car screen (press the T in the top middle). That will show you what model it is.
Ya, I doubt tesla is going to add 802.1x support. Your employer's guest network uses RADIUS?
Last time they didn't, we popped a wheel cover off so they could see the brake pads.
Michigan bases their registration fee on a portion of the original MSRP of the car. Not the current value. So for example, when I lived in MI 10...
I'm in a similar boat... short legs, short arms, very long torso. So I have to recline the seat to fit, and need the wheel extended to reach it....
GM is *very* conservative with their battery management and drivetrain loading. The Volt is a solid platform. (Also, we currently own an ELR......
Also note, you only need a safety inspection not an emissions check :) We get ours done at Best Auto in Springfield.
The Mobile Eye TACC in my ELR will do the same thing. If someone merges out of my lane, leaving a stopped car in front, the car is "bind" to it...
The rear glass is not tempered, it's laminated. I should know, we got a stone chip which spread and had to have the rear glass replaced. Tempered...
The inside of the trunk wasn't painted on our Passat either. Are you talking about the door frames in your first comment?
Even if you leave it in sport, the computer is still adjusting the dampers - probably more than 40 times a second. Give this PDF a read and...
Yes, that's what the new Raven cars have :) (And what our Touareg had)
I'd rather have adaptive damping with coil suspension, than air suspension with fixed dampers. It doesn't add much cost, and simple variable...
Green Go lights are actually legal in a few states, I can't recall which ones offhand though.
Yup, has been since 1998. The euro Model 3 lights have the outer portion of the body fixtures for the turn signal, and the inner 4/5 are the...
It's probably slowing down because the plug is getting too hot. I wouldn't push it and burn the plug / wiring up.
All traffic in NoVA during rush hour is horrendous :/
The DOT model 3 lights are fairly good, and the auto on feature works well. The auto high beam feature is sometimes slow to react. I leave it on,...
Yup, I love the scrubby on a stick. Works great. I go over the glass once with a wet one, then a dry one to get the residue.
This is the first I've heard of a problem with dog mode. We use it often in our 3.. no issues.
That would be a good way to keep the car from being driven!
The car has both a radiator, and air conditioner / heat exchanger to cool the coolant for the electronics, drive unit, and battery. I wouldn't...
They changed the software at some point - now when its cold out it uses the front motor all the time.
You should be going after the tow company's insurance, not yours I'd think?
Battery coolant is blue. This is just DHMO.
Something similar happened to BigEarl's mother when they picked up her new E320 in 2002. They found the error on their own, and are making it...
Why not take a power feed from one of the vehicle controllers inside the car? -J
We have an early 70s 200A Wadsworth panel, and were able to add a 60A breaker for the wall connector. Looks like your panel doesn't have space for...
Let's pull back a minute here.... First of all, don't put a fuse on the ground wire. The ground is there so that if something on the AC side...
I have. It doesn't apply in private platforms like internet forums, and Twitter. -J
I didn't expect that outcome. Good customer service for a change!
Yup. Somehow the material it's made of doesn't hold on to dog hair too... making cleanup easier.
You are using both at once. They are not blended. Blended brakes means the car is deciding when to use the friction brakes, and when to use...
We have both a 3 and an ELR in the driveway, as well as a Fiat 500e. The ELR and Fiat have blended brakes. The brake pedal controls both the...
No, that's not what he's saying. In the GM, when you have the gear selector in L, when you lift off the go pedal you get about half regen....
We did this just a few weeks ago in Custer SD. Tesla Sound of Silence 2019 -J
