Not worried. Just curious. :) If 250 is not the car's hard limit, I'm just wondering what is and in which conditions they happen.

I know the max charging in Teslas currently is 250kW, but sometimes I go above that slightly. Yesterday I hit 258kW for about 5 seconds, and 257 for about 30 seconds. Anyone else tip faster than 250kW?

Funky song...

A few more I found. I haven't heard this song in at least 10 years. Hard to believe it's 20 years old. Hits so good. Turn the bass up a notch. Also... Big fan of Paul Wall... Reminds me of family BBQs For good moods only...

Does the voting renew yearly or something? I put Branson, MO on the list and it had hundreds of votes I thought, but now it's not on there at all???

I think that's probable, yes. ...but I'm okay with it. If part of road upkeep is from gas sales, then recooping that money at registration for EVs is a fine solution. The amount of the tax should be comparable to amount people would pay in gas taxes per year.

I charge on a regular wall outlet in my garage (have to downrate to 9 amps to keep the UMC happy, approx 1kW). It's enough to cover my 20 min commute to work every day. If you do anything more than that, do whatever you need to do to get an proper home charging in your home. Even as little...

Thank you. I agree 100%. Similarly, if the government wanted to push people towards EVs, you don't need EV subsidy or mandates. Just start removing gasoline subsidies and remove red tape for vehicle/megawatt charging. The market will shift quickly on its own.

Have fun, everyone! Wish I were there!

Regarding this article, how do you all feel about this. I get the potential safety implications, but it still feels creepy. Also, I'm still curious if this is additive to wheel torqueing or superlative to the torqueing. Will we be limiting wheel torqueing or does the car have yet another reason...

I thought about that, but the plugs are usually inside the room, not on the outside. How do you make that work?

It absolutely is. I charge exclusively on 120v home charging. You may have to reduce the amperage from 12 to 10amps to keep the EVSE happy. ..but it works.

Nice. I played dumb with the local Discount Tire guy. He knew his stuff about Teslas. Fortunately, I didn't need to rotate them because they were completely evenly worn, according to him. He filled them all up to 42 without me telling him how much... and I left. Nice guy.

I've been burned by crappy contact car washes. I used to go an automatic touchless car wash, exclusively. Then I moved to a city that didn't have one. Now I pay for a hand wash.

I do put air in my tires. I never said I couldn't. I said I couldn't rotate my own tires.

Woops. forgot about htat.

Ah, is that where you all are? I don't have a facebook. :(

This isn't meant to be a bash Tesla tech thread, but a funny instance just happened for the second time. Set the scene: I'm on a date, it's going well. We decide to take a ride. "Let's take my car. Yep, it's a Tesla, you like them. Yeah, best car I ever owned. Quiet as a mouse. Fast as...

Definitely a bit of a gap, sir or madam.

Unfortunately I have a back injury that wouldn't take kindly to all that bending and lifting. Otherwise, I would.

There is one in the area. I'll check them out.

My local tire shop refused to believe my MYP suggested 42psi in the tires and refused to set that tire pressure... so needless to say I don't trust them to even rotate my tires. I tried to get it done in Atlanta, but I left at noon, and traffic was so bad, I wouldn't have made it before they...

Such a bait topic. I hate it. It. doesn't matter if he's a master engineer, master of production and company structure, or just rich and hired the right people. The products of his company speak for themselves. If he was "just" "only" "solely" "simply" just a rich guy... or just a dudebro...

My only regret of my purchase is that I didn't get my MYP in that color.

I use the 6 o'clock spoke to help turn all the time, or to help stabilize in a long sweeping turn.

Irrelevant bait topic is irrelevant.

BLASPHEMY! :)

Hyundai/Kia are doing it, Polestar is doing it. They always look ridiculous to me, and limit functionality. Minor nickpick. What are your thoughts?

I will be visiting it in a few weeks on my roadtrip. :)

Similar spec. I need this week of thunderstorms to end so I can wash my ride and have it look like that. ;)

I can't wait until Tesla starts making their own fueling stations instead of just renting them out. Make them well lit, with solar panels and covering.

Thanks. :) More tech isn't always better.

I'm really starting to think that Branson must have some anti-Tesla/EV law or something that is holding things up. If so, maybe Tesla is waiting to buy some land and circumvent this? I dunno. Wishful thinking. As long as we get Guy Fieri and Paula Deen food delivered to our SC stalls, I'm...

RIP Branson. Why is it so difficult to get DCFC there. :(

Welcome! I'm in Alabama too. I've been trying to meet other local Tesla drivers and get a group going. Are you up in Huntsville? Up for a meet? :)

I will never understand why these apartment complexes are so darn resistant to it. Yes, there's an up front cost. Amortize it. Set prices. Make money. Prepare. Be THE apartment complex with dedicated EV charging as an amenity. There's only one apartment complex in my city with...

A very efficient flying machine. Basically a bird.

Yeah.... Not jumping on OP, it just seems like an overly complex solution that creates more problems than it solves. Like creating a devices power enough to destabilize the nucleus of atoms on a fly in order kill it... instead of just swatting it.

I definitely get that. I have a MYP and I love it, but sometimes, I still think about how fun my 1990 Celica GTS was to drive and modify or how dangerous and cool my '91 MR2 was. The sound, the vibration feel, getting the perfect rev match downshift, getting to know "moods" of the car given...

I've had Teslas for years, but if they didn't exist, I'd be driving a Infiniti Q50 Red AWD. Very sexy vehicle, IMO.

Anyone into RenFests want to meet up? The Tesla future and the Renaissance past sounds like a fun day. Anyone else going?

Definitely down to grab lunch sometime. I'm in Montgomery. I see lots of Teslas but the scene is pretty much dead. No one I approached has been interested. I think the Atlanta Renaissance Faire opens next weekend. I've been wanting to go anyway. :) Any weekend that's not at the end of...

I think there's a good.... 20-something songs that aren't recognized on my USB and if I recall correctly, it might be due to the naming of the mp3's??? They can't have underscores or something in the name??? What are the requirements so I can go correct them? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your area is the place to make base camp. Ever host any meets up there?

The tail is very high on my list! I headed that way back in November, but I got sick along the way and had to abort. ...but next time I head Eat, I'm on it!

No can do. Heading to Denver, then 4 corners, but will take Route 66 from Arizona to California. :)

I know the seats are on stilts, but has anyone tried lowering the seats? What were the results? Was the entire vehicle experience off? Was the door ledge too high? Did it affect the driving dynamic?

Minneapolis isn't on the cards this trip, but I'll definitely put it on the list. Sounds great.

Thanks for the tips. I would definitely do that, but I am picking up a passenger in KC, so I have to go that route. :) Putting Cattleman's on the list for future visits. Winslow, castle, grand canyon etc. are definitely on the list. Have you been to Gordon Ramsay's burger place in Vegas...

I'm planning an epic road trip from the gulf coast to KC to LA, up the PCH, then I-10 stretch back home. I have a whole itinerary, but I'm open to any must-see/experience things along the way, especially eateries! Any thoughts??? Is there a such thing as a native American restaurant? I'd...
