What was the price ?

A model S ICE equivalent at 30 mpg overall ? Hmm. Possible with a hybrid That is a different discussion from efficiency, and from the start the results are goofy because the costs of pollution are externalized to general taxation. Just because people are blind to the costs they pay for...

mp2 and mp5 are mostly north facing. There is no way peak production is at noon. More generally, only 10 panels (mp1 and mp3) have good orientation, all the other panels are varying degrees of not so great and your production stats reflect these basic placement facts. Tesla found space on your...

This is reasonably correct but ultimately a fool's statistic since the former is electricity and the latter is petrol. If the electricity is clean sourced then the efficiency per se is not much of a concern outside of cost; and if the electricity is fossil sourced then conversion efficiencies...

That article makes it sound like Tesla is prioritizing LR orders that pay current prices.

I am the curator of a CHAdeMO adapter a group of 3 in Albuquerque bought last year. If you can pick it up from me locally, you are welcome to rent it for $10 a day + security deposit. Details

Tell me more ! I've yet to find an electrical supply house that is not quite a bit more expensive than the (already expensive) Lowes or HD

It could be the same people that first posted here and then departed due to the antagonistic reception.

Have fun. I say this sincerely -- I enjoy spreadsheets. Pivot tables and the AVG function are your friend. Trying to graph without them is going to give you very noisy data. One other point to know: Inverters have a cut-off voltage for each channel. It varies by manufacturer but somewhere in...

I've had really good results in the summer using a combination of windows open enough for ventilation, car parked facing the sun with a sun-shade, and light colored upholstery. The Tesla white is fine if you do not mind the plastic. I dislike it intensely so I swap it out for light colored...

More like 6 - 10% on a hot day for panels with good ventilation. I'm not sure Tesla panels hugging the roof fit 'good ventilation'.

Regarding PVwatts, It is really useful. Note a couple of things: You can set the STC watts -- just multiply the number of panels in the string * 400 watts/panel (in your case.) Default PVwatts shows average generation each month for your location/azimuth/inclination but you can change the...

The tell-tale sign of microinverters is that each module, string, and trunk is 240V

Yes -- PVwatts * 4 Check one string at a time, when the string azimuth is exactly facing the sun. Then you just have to correct for inclination, which is a right triangle problem. This all presumes no shading, and you do have to correct for temperature as I mentioned above. This exercise is a...

NW and NE panels are not useless but their output is going to be poor -- on the order of 80% annual generation compared to SW -- SE. Moreover, these panels will not add to your peak. You end up with generation through most hours of the day, and trade-off peak generation. Use pvwatts for...

Probably Cuba, unless the Apache Casino takes its head out of its a** first. Time to get one, or be left behind. Tesla would be foolish to spend its resources on covering a small minority of owners, all of whom can upgrade to CCS compatibility or use CHAdeMO, instead of expanding the...

EA in Grants I'm a lot more interested in charging somewhere mid-way between Bernalillo and Farmington.

I'm having trouble visualizing the damage mechanism unless the screw was only partially fastened.

That was my approach as well (and honestly still is a bit.) I didn't mean to leave you with the impression that I grouped you with the Zen turkey and company -- sorry for the confusion. I responded to your suggestion that those painted as liars just shrug it off because I thought it unreasonable.

A little humor after all the attacks suggests a forgiving nature. I would have left TMC for good.

There is polite skepticism, but that is not what I read in this thread. If people had posted something along the lines of 'I hope this is the real deal, but past experience here makes me take a wait and see attitude. Thanks for posting, I am looking forward to hearing about delivery!' no...

One question at a time

That sounds helpful. If you refuse to pull over at the demand of a LEO, you can plea in court that you thought the noise and lights were your car.

I was mulling over whether it is possible to prove at this time that VINs are going out for MIA Model LR. I think the phone app shows the VIN and RN on one screen, while the website provides a sale document that links RN to car specs.

LoL

For now. Nothing prevents Tesla from changing the subscription price

Not me

I'm happy if I get a 2170 structural Model Y.

^^ That outlet often just echoes this forum. The only reason I am inclined to add their report to the evidence is that they showed a document of a Model Y LR that they say has a MIA VIN

EAP and FSD are truly differentiated now. EAP is now, FSD is the future -- not just in terms of functionality but also by virtue of having a free hardware upgrade path, and I have very little doubt that more advance hardware is going to be needed for full FSD. OTOH, the subscription covers a a...

Please do not include me in your rant, I agree with you. My earlier post was an attempt to show with math that a group of eight new to the forum posting about a new MIA MYLR is not statistically a red flag. E.g., even if TMC veterans are 10% of the Austin cohort the likelihood that none are...

It is not at all uncommon in Tesla land for a new battery to be peak current nerfed for a while, and then get unleashed as it proves itself in the field. Bjorn Nyland has documented this multiple times in his charging tests

Yes. Easily Elon touched on this point. He said that fit and finish has something of bathtub curve. Initially extremely good as the first cars are manually tweaked, then a low point for a while until manufacturing processes are brought up to standard. I also have another motive: I want to keep...

Dear Tesla, I live closer to Austin than Fremont. Just sayin'

How many active N. American TMC members are there ? I'd like to use that number to estimate the fraction of Tesla owners that are active on TMC It's meant to give a little context to the idea that if a long-time, valued member is not posting direct experience about an emerging happening in the...

"posted on Facebook" is not a vote of confidence for me. Fingers crossed !

Exactly. Quiet skepticism is reasonable until a kind person posts a video of delivery or updated documentation. Until then I wish the weeny whiners would shut up. All the negativity can do is annoy those who might be posting truthful information for **our** benefit. One thing is for sure: if I...

Stop already. We all understand that proof is pending.

Delivered in 2020.

Rest assured some genius would point out that the photos could have come from different cars. I imagine that OP will eventually receive a document from Tesla that has the VIN and enough car details to identify its trim.

Yes indeed. The curious thing about TSLAQ is that they refuse to accept that NKLA is a scam. Very loyal, those fools.

That strikes me as his lawyers doing the groundwork for an appeal.

Assumptions stated as fact are rampant in this forum. It is one of the reasons I don't pay much attention to the belly-aching. One of the things I was taught as a young physician, and later taught others, was that 'assume' meant "makes an ass of you and me." It is very worthwhile to give up...

Heh. My wife and I went to a Chevy dealership yesterday to buy a Bolt but it turned out that the cars advertised on the dealer website were spoken for. I was offered an EUV for $4k more that I declined. Nothing like a little bait & switch to welcome me back to American car dealerships. Then I...

For economic and resource exploitation, acting like the worst of the colonial era empires. Otherwise I agree with your post.

Funny

Sometimes, although even then you have to know the nitty gritty details surrounding land use and connection for an honest accounting. To answer what I think you are getting at, I have no problem with a utility choosing the cheapest clean energy it can buy.

To continue my rant for a moment ... The utility argument towards the home PV with excess generation boils down to this: "we think clean energy has the same wholesale value as energy from fossils." Any PRC/PUC tasked with community value should reject that argument out of hand since it...

For today it is torquenews. I'll not link to the the article to avoid giving them clicks but they decided that finding a stamp labelled '50D' meant that the MIA, 279 mile Model Y must have a 50 kWh battery. The rest of the article sung the virtues of the astounding 4680 architecture that lead to...
