Ask for the build date?

I also recall 100f, and yes, pack temp

first rule in my home: Plug it in the second you get out of it. How I charge it, when and etc is then up to whatever I schedule, automate, or change from my phone. None of which can be accomplished if the darn thing isn’t plugged in. Or do I fear an “oh *sugar*, the battery is too low” It...

On a “P”? Don’t hold your breath. I’ve not looked deeply for a year or so now, but thelast I knew the frontiers were: 1). Environmental impact 2). Cost 3). Cycle life. I do not recall any r&d going into exceeding the present day lion power density or discharge rate. Nor do I expect a...

Earl, I wonder if you perhaps didn’t follow what “C” is given your comment. Fine fine, but perhaps the next guy won’t either, so: C” has its own definition in battery charging and discharging. It’s essentially the “rate” factor, and when discussing charge discharge rates generically we don’t...

Nice work as alway aakee. Interesting how c/2 shows such a significant ECF increase. That’s a LONG life cycle. Should be very interesting in duck curve solutions.

I disagree. Knowing now how to leverage batteries to last does not require inconvenience, micromanagement, or overly complex learning. It does mean the life expectancy of the car should be longer. Perhaps not for the first owner, but only the selfish and short-sighted ignore the next owner...

There may be other methods, but the voice command “send text message to” is an oft used command for me. I haven’t worked on sending to groups though.

I would do the windshield with something that won’t piss off the cops and call it. The rest is already pretty good

I cannot tell you how long its been since I saw a pedestrian at 5,000. Probably about as long as I saw a kid on a bike at 6, and for sure around the last time another plane past me then slammed on it's brakes to turn into a Starsucks. Not to mention I think an AP makes pilots worse, not...

In this order: Why an EV: 5 year cost of ownership. Environmental value. Fueling at home (wife, winter, etc). Why a Tesla: Best product available by a considerable margin. Why the "Y": Fit my mission requirements. Accelerators: As a solar owner my TCO and environmental returns are much...

All: Any discussion on truck selection and viability needs to come from use case, and preferably by those of us that own and use the things. That said, we can say that truck owners tend to fall into groups something like this: 1) Its cools, and I want to be cool. Maybe manly even. I'm...

Don’t like your sister? Kidding aside, do you mind sharing what you find attractive about an EV pickup?

If driving exceptionally fast, and/or towing, then the battery drain increase could affect things over enough years. Normal day to day interstate use? Non issue. Aa a vast oversimplification (and I do mean vast), anytime you drain a Li battery beyond 1C (battery capacity/hour) it can be...

As one somewhat critical of "knob" when it was announced I'm not entirely surprised by some of the comments. I tried, succeeded I think, in being low key in my reservations, but let me ask what your reaction to the below would be: Take below pic but substitute 6 "buttons". Now much smaller...

Been a while since I test drove Highlander, but it's much improved in this regard. As you'd expect? I don't know. And yes, it's the only really significant flaw in my MYLR

Mad props to those of you helping OP out!

Not an unusual reaction, but not an entirely complete perspective either. Not that I'm right and you're wrong, for I may misread your intent entirely. However, as a past moderator of other sites I may have a few perspectives worthy of consideration: 1) It's not unusual for a few folks to...

@wk057 Perhaps I owe you an apology, and if so please accept same. When I posed three things we did not know as questions I did not mean to imply you owed us those answers. They were intended as rhetorical questions highlighting just some of the aspects we didn't (and did not need, nor...

There are two answers 1). It’s a passive pin conversion. Anybody can make a good converter cheaply. Did they? 2). What’s a ruined trip worth? Or a F’d up charging port? Me? I made a considerable charging investment when I went EV. Wall charger, CCS adapter, Mobile Charger with an...

As in had to have one or park it? Once. The only SC in 60 miles was dead on what I think was Labor Day weekend. I had a CCS adapter for the convenience of being able to choose any charging site and saved my trip. And that of a few others whom I stuck around to help. I do not travel...

Well nice work. Doubt I would have considered that. Any chance you have very poor signal?

You do you, but the cost of mounting and etc is such that rare is there value in a cheap tire. Personally I'd buy a car needing tires for the same amount I'd pay for a car with cheap tires. How would I control short term costs? Cooper, Yokohama, Falken, etc.. Lower cost but still...

Moderators: At what point do you believe a thread has becomes toxic, attacks personal, and valueless to the forum? Personally I suggest we're well past all of that here, to say nothing of the virtue signaling. Polite or not, this thread is off the rails. Respectfully, it might be time for...

I find it substantial. As you know drag has an exponential relationship to power demand, so… Dropping in behind a fast moving semi is magical. I don’t notice much drafting anything else. Not knowing your typical habits it’s hard to say. On my “Y” on a calm 70 degree day I’m around 310...

An estimate without datapoints? Isn’t that called a wild assed guess? 2/3 of my 4 wheel autos are trucks. I most certainly use the trucks for truck things. Which is why I think CT is for posers. Well, it might be good for drug dealers and disaster preppers too. But for those of use using...

OP: / Mike: I'm in Central Illinois (NOT Chicago). It's a little screwy, but to generalize ~ $.16 winter, ~$.18

Please accept my apologies for the behavior displayed herein. Occasionally some get so zealous they can’t see tesla weakness or improvement potential and, well, we don’t present our best face to our new member. To answer your question: I miss cross traffic alert and “normal” blind spot...

@DCGOO Sir, did those rates include transportation costs? Golly, those rates are not only below cost of wholesale generation not too far from you, they are below transportation costs too! I mean good for you, but wow! I can sorta see a low off peak generation cost, but I’m shocked (pun)...

Ooof! So, can we get glass from an anywhere, or is that Tesla only glass?

So many thing: 1). I suggest you stop charging it like that. Best you do a few searches here on how to charge, etc.. 2). Battery range estimates are…. Estimates- don’t expect them to be exact. 3). All estimates make assumptions about how you drive, conditions, where you’re going, etc. one...

Yea, this is my only “owning a Tesla” fear. Parts and service, while rare, seem exorbitant, if not punitive. Best of luck!

Back on point, how do I report “zero. I generate more than I use”. 😇 Mike, until I get more clarity I’m reluctant to release my state. I can say these things: Our winter energy cost in my area runs around .10 per kWh. Out non winter rate runs more like .15 Both include distribution. Those of...

Would you be so kind as to decode this for me? Even privately? Been here about 2 years lurking and registered, never seen such, don’t even understand how it can happen. Not like it’s in anybody postings control…. Yea, some states have electrical problems, some cost, some questionable...

Jer, I can say these things: 1) When I fisrt started shopping EV's and PHEV's I did not notice the braking difference. I suppose some of it was my newness to EV regen braking, some the sheer number of cars I'd tried, and finally the short time I drove them. 2) Now, having owned a YLR for 18...

OP: Yea, something isn't right with your car. What's odd is NACS using the same power pins for DC and AC, so why the car socket is over-heating on AC and not DC makes no sense to me. Still, it melted how many adapters? Sure seems like the car to me.. Let us know what you learn!

I’m sure you know this, but that lower power means lower one pedal braking. I didn’t, still don’t, think I need 400hp in my wife’s daily. But damn is the braking difference between that and an RWD significant. I’m now glad we have the AWD. Ymmv.

Not the first time I’ve noticed us in general agreement, not gonna be the last. Atb

I pretty exclusively use KW. I suppose it comes down to how you think. But then I used to use how many gallons of gas I needed too. And the most common measure of battery energy is Kw H. Of course for any charger it has one rating: KW, just as we buy gas in gallons. I’m thinking it...

Well that was easy.. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-01F1A582-99D1-4933-B5FB-B2F0203FFE6F.html#CONCEPT_SXT_2PP_KR key excerpt: ….driving style (predicted speed, etc.) and environmental factors (wind speed and direction, ambient and forecasted temperatures, air density and...

Only experience. I’ve been short on enough interstate trips that I’m certain slowing down and drafting a semi makes a huge difference. Takes bit for it to reflect in increased projected range remaining, but happens. This cannot occur unless it’s dynamically adjusting. However, I also agree...

I don’t know how nav projects energy projections, but it does, regardless of JKads full stop claim, include driving dynamics and power used. It is not always optimistic either. You can slow down , say if you’re short on power, and it will reflect same and increase projected range. My bet is it...

As I recall NEC, (210.17) and quite a bit of Canadian code is similar, (rule 86-300) specifies 240v EV charging be done on a dedicated circuit. Thus making cherry picking splitter code moot. You wanta go off and decide what you can do on your own? Have at it, but don’t expect those that...

I’d laugh but it’s literally true. Yikes!

And if it lasted 24 hours and then needed to charged? I suspect you’d still be complaining. If you don’t like it buy something else. No need to be so negative, just move on. And hey, keep your eyes open! the nuclear powered option may be under development.

No solution, but I keep a mobile charger in the car as a portable solution/spare. Was i you It would be time to buy one. Won’t fix the WC, but makes your life easier whilst you work it

Touche’. But that’s commercial, the very thing you said an 8’ bed is for. as I’ve said, there is plenty of consumer/recreationald/DIY use for 8’, and those of us using them value them. You don’t? Fine, but a CDL don’t make it less true. Heck, even suggests you’re not using them I’ve shown...

At different times I’ve posted on tpms accuracy testing, Efficiency at different pressures, load implications, and safety. Search is your friend. However, to be succinct: I trust the Tesla TPMs values I run 37-38 unless I’m towing or flying, and the latter is more a feel thing.
