Separate names with a comma.
No warranty. I have scheduled a service appointment but my local SCs don’t have guidance on MCU2 availability, and it’s hard to get info out of...
Has anybody heard inklings of when AP1 cars will be eligible for the MCU2 upgrade? My MCU1 just died. I don't want to deal with the cost and...
Yankee Custom in Tewksbury will also do it.
Elon's addressed that a few times. They aren't building the Roadster 2.0 to make money. They're building it so that the world's quickest...
I'm not sure how feasible that would be. There is a welded on tiedown point that would need to move. I could cut it off but then I'd need another...
Thanks. How would you shorten the bar? Just cut it and drill another hole for the hitch pin?
Yeah, but a trailer creates other problems -- a bigger range hit, the need for lighting, difficulty parking at Superchargers, and additional...
I installed an Ecohitch last week to bring my Onyx RCR with me, but found the clearance is just too low on a bike carrier: [ATTACH] Most hitch...
From Tesla's FAQ: > If there is plenty of solar generation to recharge the batteries, then Powerwall could earn as much as $700 a year in MA and...
I don't think that's right. The figures quoted are in kW, not kWh, so I suspect those are yearly or seasonally expected revenue numbers based on...
Thanks for posting this! I filled out the form yesterday morning and got a call in the evening. They are going to enroll me next week. Sounds like...
Tesla will sometimes defer your software updates if they detect you are rooted, but they don't blacklist you for it. Most people with root block...
Contributions are accepted. :) In all seriousness, I would love to get stuff like this into the manual and would be grateful if you take the time...
Any AP2 vehicle is eligible for the HW3 computer. Look for vehicles produced October '16 or later.
@Nole Ksum What ever came of this? Did you do it?
Some funny takes in this thread. If you think TSLA is low now, wait until you see TSLA without Elon.
It sure sounds like an uncalibrated radar. Road lines are detected by cameras only, while cars are detected by cameras+radar. I would ask service...
"Makes a lot of sense" got me real good.
There isn't an MCU upgrade route yet, but Tesla claims it is coming in the future. However, in either case, the MCU upgrade has nothing to do with...
Can you give prices for - MCU? - Rear lower valence (piece of chrome all the way at the bottom on the back)?
Wow, thank you for this correction. This is frustrating, as my electrician advised we go with two HPWCs rather than two UMCs for exactly this...
Correct, outlets are treated differently than hardwired fixtures. 625.40 would not apply to the HPWC (so long as you hardwire it, as instructed).
I wish I knew a generalizable way, but unfortunately it was a unique situation. There was a vehicle that had repeated issues with MCU1 units, and...
It's been done. IC was replaced.
Appreciate the review. If it's not too much trouble, please let us know they do on range/consumption once you have that info. I need to order a...
Unfortunately, not much has changed. 2019.x remains a more difficult and invasive root target if you need persistence. There's no harm in not...
I wouldn't design a plastic part to try to make it stronger; I'd use plastic to give it some elasticity, i.e. have it absorb the stress and return...
Congrats @Btr_ftw on some great press coverage. Looking forward to checking out your garage in Seabrook sometime. The backyard mechanic who is...
If you search Twitter, you'll find conflicting witness accounts about the state of the door handles. There are a lot of things that can go wrong...
Generally, yes. The specific answer for your vehicle depends on your persistence method, but the vast majority of rooted cars will not survive a...
Click name next to post > Start a Conversation.
US cars already ship with Spotify; it’s just disabled. With root access it is trivial to turn on and it works great. This leads me to believe the...
Thanks to everyone for the help and advice. I tapped a 3/8"-16 hole in the (bronzed, I think?) piece on the chassis, and went bolt > 3 washers >...
Thanks @rooter. Yeah, the only option I can think of to get a nut on is to drill through both sides of the rail. Is there a better option or is it...
Disregard the request for bolt dimensions. I wasn't able to clean it out (too much corrosion), so I'll have to tap a new thread as well. Edit:...
I just ran into this problem. Does anybody know the dimensions (and most importantly, the thread count) of the bolt I need? I can guess-and-check...
Where do you see it on supercharge.info? I don't see it on the site or on the map you inserted.
Yes. The lexicon is confusing because HW 3.0 can mean either [HW2 + HW3 computer] or [HW2.5 + HW3 computer]. When I say HW2 to HW 2.5, I'm...
If Tesla gets FSD working, I think there will be a HW2 => HW2.5 upgrade path (full upgrade, not just the HW3 compute unit). The wiring changes...
Tesla is by far the cheapest option. The second cheapest I found was an LG Chem Resu, quoted $12k (including installation) for 10kWh. That's more...
If a $400 Generac meets your needs, that's pretty compelling. We travel a lot in the winter and our furnace can't run without electricity, so we...
I believe all of this is correct, and I say that as someone who bought two Powerwalls with National Grid in Massachusetts. (Note: depending on...
Oh, they compute a path all right. Just be glad they don't follow it! [ATTACH]
Sentry Mode will work fine on MCU1.
The 3 also uses 2170s, which have a lower surface area:volume ratio. We should expect them to take longer to cool off and then longer to heat up...
Has anybody encountered any situation where a Model 3 pack heats as quickly as an S or X pack? It sure sounds like there is a hardware limitation.
Yes, what I mean is that there is no designated pack heater, not that it cannot heat the pack at all. It seems an open question at this point...
It's possible, but the Model 3 also has a lesser battery warranty and no pack heater. I'd wager they are willing to put more stress on it.
@maximizese Great point. I've been meaning to test that same hypothesis, but haven't had a chance yet. I am skeptical it will work, as I believe...
I have AP1 and AP2. Certainly the ceiling of AP2 is much higher than the ceiling of AP1. But OP is talking about owning the car for 3-5 years. Is...
