Separate names with a comma.
We stayed at the Bryce Canyon Inn in Tropic, and we were there the week before the 4th of July last year (2020). There were two Teslas the first...
This does indeed seem to work. Did it yesterday, and haven’t seen any issues in more than 24 hours, and I’ve used the car a lot in that time.
I’m in San Jose. I either need to do it myself or call Brooks motors in Fremont.
I have essentially this same problem, detailer knocked one loose. Where do I look for all the bolts? I ran into a Tesla mobile service tech at a...
Gen 1 mobile maxes out at 40 Amps in the US, but numerous people have had the plugs get hot and melt down. It’s best to manually adjust the amps...
Looks like time for Tesla to expand the Winnemucca super charger. All four stalls are full, and I’m the fourth car waiting. Lovelock was full...
At the bottom of the ‘Display page’ where you can select energy to display in percent or miles.
The car is set to ideal range, not rated, probably. Flip the setting to rated and see what it says. A full charge on my 2016 90D with 60K miles...
Supercharger at the Atlantis completely full tonight and one spot is ICEd. This guy should be towed.[ATTACH]
Ask an electrician to give you a quote. It won’t be cheap, but may save money in the long run for some people.
Sensors are widely available. I got one from the America’s Tire where I usually buy tires. Sounds like your tire shop may be sub-standard.
The car is heavy. And even those of us that are sedate drivers still accelerate quite a bit faster than most of the ICE cars around us. It’s so...
Nighttime charging also makes use of hydro-electric, wind-based and nuclear power.
I live in San Jose, and unlike you have very low power demands during the day. 82% of my usage is off-peak and 10% is partial-peak. My entire...
All the fencing seems to be gone now, but the site is still dark. Looks pretty much ready.
I’m considering a trip to Berlin Icthyosaur State Park in Nevada. Anybody know what the route between Tioga pass/395 and Hawthorne Nevada is like?...
Workmen are on site tonight. They had what looked like a transformer on a trailer.
It’s probably not accurate. You probably need a deep discharge, full recharge cycle to recalibrate it.
Check your tire pressure. Warmer weather equals higher pressure and better efficiency. Also less energy spent on climate control.
We did Lassen NP in 2016. We stayed at the Best Western Antelope Inn in Red Bluff, and I charged the car full before we left. Wh/m was frightening...
This seems to have become quite a lot more frequent since the last software update. I’ve seen it at least five times this week. I have an early...
[ATTACH] If the house has multiple 120v outlets in the garage, you might be able to find two that are on different sides of the transformer. If...
Another first gen UMC bites the dust. On the slim chance that you get another first-gen UMC, you should turn the amperage down to 32. There is a...
I’d suggest a used Toyota Prius. It has regenerative braking, good efficiency, and isn’t horrendously expensive to repair. Parts are available in...
There’s a reason why the 2nd generation UMC maxes out at 32 Amps. The gen 1 14-50 seems to be marginal at 40 amps. I’d replace at least the 14-50...
I would also recommend Brooks.
I have a Feb 2016 build 90D that was originally a service loaner. With 2500 miles on it, range was 292. With almost 45000 miles on it range is...
I’d suggest you buy some of the extra adapters for your mobile connector. At last the 5-20 and maybe the 6-50. Welding plugs are probably more...
Since the time I made my original post, i’ve needed to reset it many times. It has probably been reset 10 times in the last two months. I’ve...
Just lock and unlock, or did you get in and shift to reverse? There are different settings for forward vs reverse, presumably to make parallel...
I’ll second this. My weekends are barely long enough to wash the car and do my laundry. And during the week? Forget it.
Where were you when the white stuff started coming down? I have a cousin in Boulder, and they already have about a foot of the stuff.
I think I’d take the winter tires. You’ll almost certainly see some snow in the mountains. Hopefully not a lot, but it’s better to be prepared.
Two causes. One: the first year is the worst for battery degradation, so you lose a few miles due to that. Look up one of the many threads on that...
I responded too quickly and didn’t notice your erroneous wiring discription. Fortunately I see others have provided correct instructions.
This is correct, and exactly what I’m doing with my 10 gauge extension cord. I made a pigtail with a 6-15 plug on one end and a 5-20 receptacle...
The Gen1 UMC will charge on 240v delivered through a 5-20 adapter. I have an array of adapters myself and carry 75 feet of 10 gauge cable when...
Due to having accident damage repaired, I find myself with a extra rim that's in serviceable condition. Since I also kept a tire from the last...
I think it sounds like you have a bad mobile connector. If you have a voltmeter or a test light you can check the 120v outlet. Between the small...
Drove by about 4:00 pm, there were six Teslas charging, and a Ford Fusion using one of the ChargePoints. It’s not on the nav yet, but the news is...
Another sign that working in Silicon Valley is like no other place on earth: There are now probably between 20 and 40 Teslas in the lot at work on...
Uh, my wife’s 2012 335i interior is holding up better than my 2016 MS and it has 10k more miles on it. I think Tesla really ought to improve...
I built my own 75 foot 10-gauge extension cord. I used industrial grade connectors on the end, and it’s obvious that 5-15 and 5-20 male ends are...
After having spent a week in CDMX at the end of February, I’m not sure I’d want to take my Model S into the city. We ended up using Cabify (a...
This depends on whether you’re generally a good driver or not. I grew up driving a ‘79 Bonneville, and own a full size pickup in addition to my...
If you own the trailer and know that it’s sound at higher speeds do what you want. The rental trailers that I’ve seen recently are probably not...
I bet if you draft the trailer, which should be traveling at 55 anyway, you should have no problems. Try it before hand just drafting the truck at...
I try not to even drive my 90D down to the point the range meter turns yellow. The is like the low fuel light in an ICE car.
If you are happy with your 85D why don’t you just buy it after the lease is up?
The voltage in your neighborhood may also go up somewhat in the wee hours of the morning, when there isn’t much load on the grid. For my HPWC, I...
