Separate names with a comma.
Buy a taser, just in case.
i think the 12v plug is tied to a 15A fuse, so i wouldn't use more than 150 watts. if you want to attach a 500 watt inverter it should be attached...
I’ve got two gen 2 chargers which have thicker cables (they can charge at up to 80 amps) on the inside of the outside garage wall in Connecicut,...
If for some reason you decide to run new wire, upgrade it to support 100amp service and use a subpanel for future expansion. As for now, there’s...
I would avoid the switch. There are simple/cheap junctions you can use and just put it in a junction box. Look for “Al/Cu wire connectors”, and...
I wholeheartedly agree. If you don't have experience wiring a circuit breaker you shouldn't do any of what i told you. i learned this stuff as an...
It is simple to convert a standard 120v-20a outlet (NEMA 5-20) into a 240v-20a outlet (NEMA 6-20) by changing around the wires at the breaker....
$100 sounds reasonable actually. if you buy the wire itself (8/4 SOOW), without ends, at home depot, it costs $3.24/ft. the male/female ends are...
that's technically sort of possible, but if those outlets are using 14 gauge wire and/or connected to 15 amp breakers, you'll only be able to use...
Tesla Voice Commands
They're fantastic for parallel parking.
If you’ve got a jack that is too high, just drive up on some wood blocks (I’ve used sections of a 2x4) before using the jack. If you don’t have a...
where are you located?
If you want to future proof a little, look around for a second generation Tesla wall connector. It supports charging at up to 80 amps if you wire...
The vote should have been “Anti-Trump” or “Pro-Trump” instead of political parties, which seem to have changed significantly since 2016.
The air goes through the same filter no matter what. Bioweapon defense mode just turns the fan to the max.
Well, the US president called for a boycott on Goodyear tires, so you should clearly get them. Trump calls for boycott of Goodyear, claiming...
an electrician can use a clamp meter to see how much power your garage door openers are actually using, and you can replace your light bulbs with...
Make sure the 14-50 outlet is installed with the ground on top, not on bottom. If the ground is on the bottom the whole charger will be hanging...
I emailed Tesla in Fall 2018 to ask a question about the new enhanced anti-theft accessory. im still waiting for a response, getting tired of...
Thats pretty cool, make sure you post the finished product.
Agreed. That way you have the wall connector and you can always unplug it years from now. you dont break any electrical code, since youre not...
Can’t find that confession in Musk’s Twitter history. You sure that’s real news?
The interface will be a lot faster, you’ll have a web browser, and you’ll lose the radio. It doesn’t really have much to do with autopilot. That...
i think in your situation id put in the 60 amp breaker and set the car to charge lower. ive got my cars set to charge at 40 amps regularly, but if...
Troll much?
You should NOT use a separate ground, it’s against code to have more than one ground. In case of a fault you can get a ground-ground electric flow...
you can buy a clamp connector at home depot (search the site for 100113541) and have the 6/3 pass through it into the HPWC. that part number is...
You can’t load share between generations
short of turning off sentry mode, getting a garage, or putting tape over the cameras, i think your'e out of luck. personally i just ignore the...
perfectly safe. its just a way to fit more circuits in a panel. a quad takes up two regular sized spaces but might have two double pole breakers...
I agree with checking the screws. The higher amperage you charge at, and you charge high, the bigger the temperature swings which can slowly...
Romex 6/3 is only rated for 55 amps, individual wires (THWN) in conduit is rated for 65 amps and can get a bit hotter before failure. If it’s a...
Range mode doesn’t change the charge, but it does change how many miles it reports by a small amount. My car has been in range mode since the day...
there's a setting for the maximum charge, and it should usually not be set to 100% (that's bad for the battery if done too often). also, charging...
actually i think when the model S first came out supercharging was an option you had to purchase. not sure when it became standard.
My wife is also 5’0” and was driving the 3 daily before the quarantine. She absolutely loves it.
If you use wire in conduit (THHN), you can use 4 gauge individual wires, and it will be a little easier to bend. i used the top mount, and i think...
if you fail miserably to get a cheaper quote, you should probably just buy a 5-20 adapter for the standard 120v outlet. at the least, you can get...
What circuits are in that sub panel? I can’t imagine it’s just for the door openers and lights.
i think that's stock. on mine there were two strange screws underneath i removed with locking pliers, and double sided tape on the front of the...
PM sent
Half inch conduit is too small. You're not allowed to use less than 3/4", and frankly it would be really hard to pull the wires through it. use...
4 gauge would be a better choice if you want some future proofing, but 6 gauge THHN in conduit is okay. Use individual wires, not Romex, and use...
Hassio shouldn't get in the way of Teslamate. Just install Docker and follow the Teslamate instructions.
I imagine you’d have to dump the Postgres database from your windows docker to the pi, as Postgres is where all the data is stored. enter a shell...
I use a western digital passport wireless pro. It’s got a built in Plex server, as long as you don’t need to transcode it’s fine.
Sounds great, but I don’t really want to give that website the login info for my brokerage account.
Same thing happens to me, MCU1/AP2.5 model S, iPhone 8 Plus. The volume gets turned down and I basically can’t hear the phone ring or any alerts...
I’ve done that twice before while away for 3.5 weeks, had the charge set to 50%. The day before arrival I set it to 70%, and everything worked...
