Impromptu video. 5 am on a VERY foggy morning. Heads Up, FSD Is not active a good chunk of the drive, because either it wouldn't LET me activate, or as soon as I activate it freaked out. I was at my parents home (They were out of town) overnight as the previous days storm & hail took out A LOT...

What better test of FSD Beta than to take it into one of the most difficult driving situations around. One of the first that came to mind was DOWNTOWN CHICAGO! Anyone who's driven in Downtown Chicago can vouch, the drivers drive like crap, pedestrians seem to randomly cross the street at any...

Day 2 Drive 2; Visualization was quite impressive in a parking lot. The level of detail was amazing! FSD had trouble leaving the parking space, but activated once out of the space. Unfortunately, it tried to accelerate to 30mph and also make a 90 degree right turn. I noticed the FSD...

Shameless plug, if staying in the Dells, FREE Charging for overnight guests on our HPWC's at www.SandriftResort.com the FIRST Hotel/Motel/Resort in Wisconsin to have Dedicated EV charging since 2003! as well as one of the first businesses EVER in Tesla's Destination Charging Program (Prior to...

Supercharger located in Wisconsin Dells, Wi. Culvers 1070 Wisconsin Dells Pkwy S Wisconsin Dells, WI 53913 LONG AWAITED Wisconsin Dells supercharger, we've been trying to get one here since 2013! Wisconsin Dells is the Midwest USA's big tourist destination area. When Tesla installed the first...

FSD Beta Day 2 Drive 1 The drive started off a little shaky. Starting off the drive, the car couldn't even pull straight out the driveway. The steering wheel was for lack of better words, having a seizure. It also couldn't decide if it was going left or right. Once I manually pulled it out...

IT's FINALLY HERE! After 8 long months of waiting, Kman's finally got Full Self Drive Beta! I was out of town when the firmware downloaded and installed while I was out of town working. Excuse the crude video, we got back in town for quite literally 20 minutes. We unloaded the Model S, I grabbed...

Tesla Model X Bio Filter How to clean. Tesla has designed the Bio Defense Filter for the Model S and Model X to be glued into the housing. As such, the cost is significantly increased for replacement. I've found, while the filter may "Look Dirty", it still may have a lot of life left in it. As...

Original MS Could charge at 20kW stateside with dual charger. I have it and use it extensively on my 2016 MS. My 2016 MX only has the 48 amp charger, and the faster 72 amp charger they offered for it for a while, would have saved a LOT of time on many occasions. 27kW "supercharging" is not...

While the traction battery can last a long time, Electric Vehicles still rely on Auxiliary 12v batteries to maintain vital systems should the traction pack (High Voltage Pack) need to disconnect for whatever reasons. These especially maintain Brakes & Steering in the case of issues! On...

Slight drop, negligible.

YAY! Another increase! Balance is great, temps down slightly.

Not capped. Actually looks fairly good, and 250 miles range at 100% is good. Better than my 90 pack.... Likely will supercharge faster too.

Thank You! Your comment means a lot, ESPECIALLY coming from you! I'm not changing a thing! Might not put out as much content as I used to, I'm staying away from the click-bait unlike a lot of the others. I'll still post useful videos, as well as be straight forward and honest, as I've been since...

Slight increase in range, yet range is lower than previous at same stated battery capacity. Pack Balance is good.

My good friend Rees (As seen in some of my previous videos, linked below!) FINALLY got delivery of his 2022 Tesla Model X Long Range Non-Performance Fully Loaded. Order took about 1 year 2 months to arrive! He graciously gave us a little tour and some opinions and let me check it out :-) To...

Bounced back up. Not as high as 2000 miles previous though. Battery capacity is down 200 Wh from 2000 miles ago. Going to post two range updates/week to get through the backlog. Car is now at 127,000 miles as of posting this video. I could skip ahead, however I believe it's beneficial to go each...

Sizeable range drop in this update. We are also graced with the presence of KmanGirl :-) Porkchop in Training:-)

Tesla is STREAMLINING The Supercharger build out process. Superchargers are now built on SLABS. Conduit is pre-run in the ground. The superchargers are installed on a concrete slab, at the Buffalo, New York factory. They are then shipped to the Supercharger Build Location, and lifted down into...

Tesla has had Auto-Park since late 2015, back then with Autopilot 1, and later on with Autopilot 2 & Full Self Drive hardware. With a recent Firmware Update, Tesla has passed a tasty morsel from Full Self Drive Beta, down to Autopilot. Tesla has invested in Vision Based Full Self Drive (FSD)...

What would you say the average number of cycles was for V1 90 cell failure?

Need to add, that new 350v 85kWh pack, is actually around 87kWh. So actually larger than the original 85 pack. The 350v 85 pack is actually larger than the 90 packs, which were about 85.4-ish kWh. Realistically, the 90kWh pack should have been advertised as a 85, and the original 85 should have...

Pool the settlements. hire an AMAZING Lawyer, then sue for the supercharger capping.

So far none. Further, only approximately 10 vehicles in Wisconsin have even gotten the camera upgrade. I was around #7. I know one person got the camera upgrade in December, still no FSD Beta.

About 1 month in after camera upgrades, no dice. Not even a regular firmware update, I hover between 98-100% score.

A Little bit more expensive to buy, but a LOT cheaper to ship, NEW! Tesla Supercharger Adapter – European to US – EVSE Adapters Adapter that allows a US/Canada/Japan Spec Tesla to Supercharge on an European Supercharger.

Agreed, but a SLOW rate charge might be able to bring it up enough while giving the BMS time to bleed of the other modules/bricks.

While I do agree, it brings the cost of the replacement down, my personal stance, is that Tesla needs to start following the law or at least be more transparent or honest. Every other dealer or mechanic shop I've dealt with in the past, including my own motorcycle shop, if a part had to be kept...

In Wisconsin, you must request your parts back before service starts, otherwise they are fair game. Tesla must state that there is a required core. If after requesting your parts back, service does not tell you there is a required core for the service, they MUST return the parts back, or be...

Yes, I know that. My MX75D tops out at about 320kW output. I was stating what my car was drawing per mile towing a John Deere Skid Steer. I sold that one but just bought a Bobcat, I'll be picking that up this week hopefully now that it's thawed from where it was frozen to the ground (literally)...

I'll need to test again, but pulling my skid steer on a trailer (within the towing limits of the Model X but just barely) cruising on the freeway was doing 1000Wh/mile.

So, say someone has one brick of cells in a 75 pack, that is 60-70mV lower than the rest of the pack, throws off range calculations when SOC is below 20%, also the firmware update end of 2020 that increased supercharging rates for other vehicles killed rates for this one, and of course you know...

Model X Should have the best performing FSD and Autopilot of the 4 vehicle lineup, Mostly due to the vehicle being higher, better visibility.

Internal EATON Surgetrap CHSPT2SURGE Whole House Surge Protector. We will be taking a close up look at the internals of this EATON Surge Suppressor, as well as going over some of the components and a very basic explanation of it's operation. I'd HIGHLY Recommend a whole house surge protector...

I need to disagree with that a bit. It's been a while to exact details are getting a little fuzzy, however, back in summer of 2013 I believe it was, on my old MS60, I got a CALL from Tesla at about 7pm, saying my car reported that one of the 3 coolant pumps was reporting issues, they said they...

Range test is from the February 2020 Pigeon Forge road trip. We charged up on a 80 amp HPWC at "The Inn at Christmas Place". Shoutout for them providing charging options. Offered to pay, they would not accept. We were not staying at the Inn, but stopped to charge while we ate at the "Mellow...

Madison Gas & Electric, in Wisconsin's State Capital city of Madison, currently is building the largest charging location in the state. At present, there are 8 active V3 Tesla Superchargers rated up to 250kW charge rate, fed by a Megawatt Transformer. A second Megawatt Transformer will power...

Minor increase in range.

My parents just wont give up their gas vehicles (YET!). So when they decided to go looking at vehicles at their usual Lincoln Dealership, I took the opportunity to both check out the new Charging Station they installed, as well as score free snacks and drinks from the snack bar inside the...

2020 and Older Model X and S vehicles do not have a Key Card option, Key FOB or phone app access only. So what happens if your FOB craps out, or it's battery dies, and you can't get the app to connect? (App requires Cellular or Wi-Fi connection, app will also not connect some times if the car...

My 90d was capped at 94kW charge rate the second month of ownership (I bought new). It was capped at 94 until December 26th 2020 software update where they "de-restricted" it to 112kW. Same software update capped my MX75D which was hitting 138kW. Now the MX75D maxes out at 114kW, for about 1-2...

Id hope you would be happy with that range and capacity! My 2016 90D is currently 73kWh capacity, and 248 rated miles!

' Range Drop Plop Plop.

BIG Drop this time around.

I have a set of Model S adjustable toe and camber links. Make offer. They need bushings. Used for 100 miles, and the bushings failed. Had to have Tesla put on factory ones, and waste $,$$$ so they are sitting on my shelf. Considered putting my own bushings in them. 2 days after Tesla fixed my...

Biggest changes otherwise, this vehicle mechanically has been very decent. Door handles are still a thorn in my side, about 15 sets of handles in 117,000 miles. Just had control arms replaced due to wear, bushings were all cracked. I did upgrade to MCU2 after the accident, figured why not since...

From the point of this video to new, range dropped ~34 miles. It gets more interesting around the 100,000 mile point. Since the car was on the same firmware version of 8.x for over 2 years (To avoid chargegate and batterygate issues and I hated and still do hate 10.x user interface with an...

Still holding. Sorry no 85,000 mile update video. Video file was corrupted beyond usability. Charted info for 85000 miles was from my notes. Amazing seeing how things have changed since new!
