I recently decided to make an off-grid "portable" solar car charger and finished my project yesterday. I designed the system to charge my car during the day based on my daily kWh usage (I typically use 10kWh/day and work from home a good portion of the day). The system has a some (required)...

In my old Model 3, on long trips I let the kids watch a movie on a cheap tablet that was mounted to the roof glass with a Sosche suction cup mount. It worked and stuck flawlessly for two years. However, I resorted to mounting the suction cup on the front-most portion of the roof, slightly...

I've had my 2021 Model Y for about a week and I've been busy buying plastic. My build is near perfect, but arrived with lots of dirt/grease spots on the seats. Overall it feels so much tighter and quieter than the 2019 Model 3 it replaced. Wind noise is dramatically lower. Suspension is quieter...

Accepted on the 20th. State already came through. Nothing from Uncle Sam yet.

Exploring the data available from Scan My Tesla. First is getting a better understanding of regeneration power vs. battery temperature. First plot shows two datasets on different days. I have yet to find my battery temperature below ~49F despite it being much colder outside. We'll see if I can...

I sat down and calculated my CO2 emissions given the electricity generation portfolio of my local power company. First, here is New Mexico's PNM source distribution for electricity generation. The table below outlines the assumed amount of CO2 released per kwh of electricity generation...

My apologies if this is a re-post, but I can't seem to find any images of 19" wheels with spacers. Thanks in advance.
