    I made a cable hanger to charge from the middle of my garage.

    I thought I'd share; I just put this together, this morning. About $75 in from the local hardware store, and two hours to string it up. My wife parks on the right-hand side of the garage and likes to nose in, so now she can do that without schlepping cable to and from the HPWC. Also, I'm...

    Enough with the Games, already.

    "Working is one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination." Gretchen Rubin I just don't give a rat's ass about the "entertainment" features that seem to figure prominently in Elon's vision for the cars. I would rather have him take those coding teams and devote their engineering...

    Wish List: A "Little" Tesla

    My wife has an M3 AWD. It's awesome. We love it. I'm ruined for ICE cars, and our next car (mine) will be electric. BUT, for a second car, we don't need something as big as the current Tesla lineup; seating for 5 plus a trunk and a sub trunk and a frunk is overkill for a second car in a...

    Adding a 120V outlet near a 14-50 outlet. Can you tap off of it, or do you need a new wire?

    Title says it all. I was thinking about what it would take to add a "guest" EV outlet on a post in my driveway. Naturally, 240V would be good, but having 120V there, also, would cover about everybody, plus I could use the 120V for home pressure washers or leaf blowers or whatever. If I ran...

    Local Supercharging: Proper use for Superchargers or Waste of a Scarce Resource

    Maybe I'm just in the mood to scrap, this weekend... Game on! Superchargers are, indeed, a scarce resource, primarily intended for and absolutely needed by Tesla owners to take road trips. With the profound increase in number of Teslas being sold, the resource will be overtaxed to the point...

    UMC charging at 120V with no ground. Would this work?

    First, the backstory. Skip to the bottom for the actual question. My AWD came with the 14-50, and I actually used it on my first road trip. We did an AirB&B over Memorial Day weekend, and I arrived there, after 15 minutes at the enroute Supercharger, at about 30% SOC, expecting to use the...

    Autopilot seems to bias M3 to the right side of the lane?

    M3 AWD, 19" wheels, 04-19 build, HW3, 1600 miles, 2019.16 3. Both my wife and I feel like the car, while self-steering, keeps the car too far to the right within its lane. Best I can estimate, my left wheels are lining up with drivers' heads, rather than being centered on the left tire wear...

    Amazon Alexa Skills and the Model 3

    I see several skills producers have made skills for Alexa. A common complaint is that the skill does not wait long enough for the car to wake up before it gives up and declares the car offline. Has anyone had luck making Alexa play with their Model 3? I'd like to be able to lock and unlock...

    Can't clear notification badge from Android app

    Both my wife and I have Galaxy S9 phones, and we both have constantly-on notification badge over the app's icon. I can't figure out how to clear it. Anyone crack the code?

    New M3AWD. Chat rep told me HW3 installed, but is currently buggy.

    My wife took delivery of her M3 AWD 19" red/black FSD yesterday. So far... awesome! With driver and 4 adult passengers, the acceleration was stunning. Everything else is great, so far. But, the nav was stuck, with my "self" arrow showing at the service center. I used the phone app to enter a...
