For your spec it's 318mi. BUT! Don't take this number as a real range that you can make. The real drive distance is somewhere around 200mi, depending on speed and environment. If you want to know the more real projected range - open Enegry app. It shows the projected range based on the history...

Yes, voltage drop is totally fine.

The only assumption I have about your 205V is that you actually have true two phases for two hots, instead of "split phase" type of connection, which is the most typical for residential usage. "Split phase" is when a single phase transformed into two hot wires with a 180-degree phase, so the...

Out of topic but.. The supercharger is called a "supercharger" because it bypasses the car charger and delivers the DC power directly to the battery. The onboard charger can do 48A maximum (about 11 kWh), while the supercharger delivers up to 250kWh.

#4/2 Romex does not exist. Probably double-check with your electrician, if in your situation you need any kind of "raceway" for THHN cable or not. If yes, just make the math of the cheapest "raceway". It's not necessary should be an expensive metal conduit, because your cable will not be exposed...

There are many debates around that 55amp rated cable is not suitable for 48A installation because don't meet the 20% rule. But many people install those and do just fine. Check here: Tesla Listed electrician using NM-B 6/2 and configures 48A of Max charging current | Tesla Motors Club

I got mine from the Facebook marketplace for $400 ;)

Not conduit explicitly. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC) Art 300, Individual conductors must be installed in a raceway, cable, or enclosure. So if you have a "raceway" or "enclosure" where cables can be protected from physical damage (that's the main purpose of conduit), it's...

I have this one and can confirm - it's freaking awesome. I like how quickly I can put it on the car and remove it after the trip.

Having this adapter in the car helped me and other Model 3 driver to avoid being stuck in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma yesterday, where not much of superchargers. Local energy provider Francis Energy building its own fast-charging network across the state there, which is quite good I would say.

I think if make a habit to plan arrival SOC minimum 15-20% when you plan your route, then you would not have this issue. Having 24% and understanding that it's winter, mountains and you need another 20 min to drive, you were taking a risk and as result didn't play well. Also, deep discharge is...

... just a note, before doing that, make sure you stop charging and disconnect the plug from Tesla first.

Yeah, maybe you are right. But as far as I understand, the 12A is displayed right at the beginning of the charging. If this would be a thermal throttling because of the loose contacts or something, a drop to 12A would happen later in the charging cycle but not immediately

The application is showing 12/12A. The first number is a current amperage, the second number is the max amperage limited by hardware. Since the second number is 12, it means that for some reason, tesla, or tesla charger limits the max limit to just 12A. Something tells the car, that connected...

I think Tesla preparing us that stalks will be removed from all cars soon.. but I agree, this new feature works awesome and after using it for a few days I started to think that having just turn buttons on the steering wheel makes more sense with this functionality.

It does work. LO/MED/HI are related to auto mode. Each of those 3 selections is a relative fan speed to the desired temperature. So if you set it to HI, your climate set to 72, and it's currently 72 in the cabin - the fan will not work on max speed. It will work around 3-4 in manual mode. But if...

Same thing here... sounds like a bug. Hopefully will be fixed in the new updates

It will not be cheaper, because of high inflation. Prices continue to go up.

There is no right answer to this question. If your 2013 communter is Honda or Lexus, it probably will not die soon if you make regularly required maintenance. If this is how you normally change cars, buying a new one when the previous one dies. Then probably you don't need to rush and drive...

@father_of_6 By the way, for convenience, you can add the "heated seats" icon to a quick access bar on the main screen to quickly change the heat mode manually.

I see.. thanks for clarification. In this case, I have only "booming" which is soooo annoying.

This is not perfect climate control... it's a climate control from 80s Modern climate control, controls everything: fan speed, the temperature of airflow, recirculation, and flow direction. With the first three - tesla works just fine. With an automatic flow direction - I agree, there is room...

Interesting... Explain what is the difference between "buffeting" and "booming" :) How do you understand it :) To me, it's the same )

This temperature control (e.g.72) is your desired temperature inside of the cabin. It's not how hot or cold the air should blow out of the vent. Let's say it's 30 outside. You sit down into a car, the climate is set to 72. So your car will begin blowing as hot as possible air out of vents, to...

When you select "Auto" mode, it will select "Auto" for everything, but then you just deselect "auto" only for seats, and the rest of the climate control system will remain in "Auto" mode, except the selected seat.

For me, "Auto" works just fine. I set in a range 71-74 degrees in auto mode in summer and winter and the car manages a comfortable temperature. I never set the temperature to like "LO" or "HI". For some reason, people think if they set "LO" that car will cool down faster or if put "HI" it warms...

@Zcd1 how would you rate the road noise insulation compared to the Model Y? I assume the suspension is definitely more comfortable than Model Y, but how about the road noise?

I see there is a natural gas pipe, right where you want to run conduit. Clarify that you do not violate any clearances there as well, how close electrical cables can be to natural gas pipes.

I know. I want to aggregate the data just to understand is it worth trying to fix it or just get used to it or sell the car

Hey guys, Made a survey to get more understanding about this issue impact, and fix. Please check: Buffeting/Booming issue survey

I would like to share this thread in related topic. Please check it out, made a survey about this "booming" issue: Buffeting/Booming issue survey

Hey guys. There are multiple threads on this forum discussing the issue with "booming", "low-frequency noise", and "buffeting" kind of issue. As was identified, the trunk lid probably resonates with a low-frequency noise when driving on a bumpy roads. There were multiple solutions proposed how...

It depends on the operating temperature. If it's below 45 degrees, snow tires will have normal wear on dry roads and much better performance than all seasons. You never know when you might need that extra grip to stop your car in time.

1. You can quickly swap the tires in the garage by yourself 2. It's safer for the tires. Two sets of tires will last you much longer than one set. If you drive 10K on average per year, each set of tires will last you at least 5 years. So if you reinstall the tires on the same rim, the edges of...

Any snow tires is a huge improvement over the stock all-weather tires in winter 😀 If your region has a normal cold winter, when temperatures are often below freezing - the snow tires are the must thing to have. Many people, unfortunately, don't realize this saying like "I was driving on...

Yes, it's not allowed in 11 states. But it's allowed in Seattle, where the topic author is from. So for him, it's an option. It's not thaaaaat excessive road damage, to be honest. Regular 18-wheeler cause much more damage to the roads. Those 11 states that are not allowed to use studded tires...

For good traction on the icy road, it's to use chains or studded snow tires. Chains - are usually for very extreme weather conditions, whereas studded snow tires can be used during all winter season even on a clean paved road. They are just a little louder than usual winter tires. But if you...

Just curious... can you just operate with a plug a little more carefully in order not to scratch it? Is it that difficult? Reading this thread, I could not understand "what they are talking about?" first... When I remove the plug and put it back, I never touch the wall, and it's not something...

I didn't notice that anything is wrong with acoustic comfort in my car until I found this thread and then started hearing this in my car. The worst thing is that I can't "unhear" it anymore. I wish I would never see this topic in this forum 😆 Do you guys know if Model X have the same acoustic...

Winter tires are not only for snow storms. Winter tires have softer rubber compound and because of that, they perform much better in cool/cold weather even on a completely dry and clean road. The normal operating temperature for winter tires is around 45F and below. But even if a few days during...

In Texas I don't need a winter tires anymore, but in climat like your, I would deeeeeefinitely have two set of tires - summer tires and winter tires. all-seasons is like having half of summer tires' performance and less than half of winter tires' performance. And it's not wasting money at all...

I saw this glitch once as well..

I use one extension cord 14-30 for 50ft, it's $190 on Amazon. and Tesla 14-30 adapter. If I encounter 14-50 outlet which I need to extend from, I have 14-50 to 14-30 adapter and then use the same 14-30 extension cord, which gives 24A and that's more than enough to charge Tesla overnight. This...

Yeah.. but EVSE tesla extension cord would be twice expensive compared to buying the usual extension cord with a tesla adapter. If ready to pay for it, sure, it's a better solution

400m, it's not bad. Like 10-15 min walking distance I guess.. If it's suitable for your just to leave the car there and walk back home/work for a long time, that's the way to do it. 10% to 90% charging should take a bout 7-8 hours, so if you can leave your car there overnight, and then just come...

@Ronika I would suggest downloading PlugShare application and explore the Level 2 chargers around you. Very often you may find free Level 2 chargers or if not free, they are usually much cheaper per kWh compared to fast chargers. So maybe you ll be able to find a good location within a walking...

No. Model 3 standard range has LFP

Does not really makes sense... It's either not a knowledgeable Tesla representative, or you have a newer battery type? Why he explicitly pointed out that since it's 2023 model, you can charge to 100%? What is the difference between 2022 and 2023 models, did you ask?

Your LR 99% of chance will not have matrix lights. Those lights was a temporary thing, probably because of the shortage in parts in they didn't want to stop the deliveries. So if the matrix lights is a so important thing, change your order to Performance, they come with matrix lights. Also...

The only concern here is this, the very first line: "For maximum power output, install a standard double pole 60 amp circuit breaker". So the manual says to use 60A breaker but does not say that you can't use a higher breaker if that in compliance with the code
