    Question for home charging install - wire size

    Issue actually wasn't resolved... well, kinda. I opted to do the panel upgrade, so I have two panels, each about half full now, lol. Plenty of room for upgrades later on. They installed a 60A breaker in the panel, but it was 2 AWG copper wire. The breaker had to be swapped out because it was a...

    Why is Tesla Wall Connector not on Energy Star list?

    So weird it was removed... I was able to find a wayback machine copy and submitted that to my local utility for their $300 rebate... we'll see if this works, lol

    TPMS tire location wrong after rotation

    I don’t recall having issues with the Bluetooth sensors before though, this appears to be something Tesla broke.

    TPMS tire location wrong after rotation

    It clearly is a bug that worked its way into the code. I haven’t had issues prior years but did sometime this spring (February-April time frame).

    TPMS tire location wrong after rotation

    If you create a service request with Tesla, please ask the tech if this has been a common issue (I'm sure it is, just curious if it's getting reported or if people even are noticing). I suspect to get this fixed we'll have to make it their problem, IE using up a bunch of time on mobile...

    TPMS tire location wrong after rotation

    Has anyone reached out to mobile service to address this? Possibly that is what will be required for this bug to be fixed… a bunch of mobile service visits to swap TPMS sensors to get around the bug 🤣

    Tesla Model Y Totaled?

    It was repaired, I think about $39k if I recall. I also was successful in $9,000 in diminished value. Search my post history and you should see updates on it. Runs and drives like new. Cosmetically, I wasn’t happy. Serious dirt under the clear coat (like 20+ spots on the hood), a very large...

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    Yeah, but like $7/gal or something when gas is $3.79.

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    That's no different than a gas car. No freebies just because it's an EV.

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    I took the advice of you (or someone else) that posted that before and went and got pictures of all the walls. I think I may try to go back today or tomorrow as well because reviewing the pictures there actually looks like one closet area that doesn’t have a low voltage network cable run… or I...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    The home isn't fully custom, the builder explicitly bans me from being on the property without a representative from the builder there (they claim due to liability, I can see where that makes sense). I won't actually own the home until I close on it in March.

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    So even though the onsite manager told me to show up at 8am, the electricians got there at 7am and already had a lot of the rough in wiring done already. I ultimately just left them do their thing and I think it'll work out. They ran 2 AWG copper wire to what looks like will be a flush mount...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    I've had great confidence in this builder for everything except for this. I think they build good tight homes and have heard good recommendations from friends and others in town... but I am clearly an outlier when it comes to the EV option they have. The sales agent initially send me a picture...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    Ok, I'm changing my thinking a little. Maybe a flush mount sub panel wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I really just didn't want anything slapped on the walls like exterior conduit or a box mounted on the wall. If they did use something like the Square D QO 100 amp flush mount panel. Would...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    What about if they use aluminum wire? Would I then be able to have an electrician use a pigtail to step down to a smaller AWG and copper? Also, does everyone think there will be enough space behind the wall connector for all this? Ideally I want to slap the wall connector up right over...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    Is attaching pigtails up to code and everything? That is something official and not just a work around home owners take because it's cheap? I'm leaning towards this being the most elegant solution. I have the future capacity in the wall if I need (even though the main panel is in the garage...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    Framing and roof are complete. Walls are still open. Problem is, it's not a fully custom build, it's from a large regional builder that just has some options that the buyers can select from. They won't let me bring in my own electrician or supply my own equipment. I current don't own "anything"...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    Ugh. This is becoming far more stressful than it should. I was as low profile, professional, and clean looking as possible. I also was trying to avoid ripping into walls that were literally days old. They only had one option an “EV Pre-wire” and their management/sales people were… less than...

    Question for home charging install - wire size

    New house is being built. They only had one option for an EV pre-wire. It's 100 amp service to a 4 gang box. I'm planning to install a wall connector as soon as the house is done and I move in. My builder doesn't want to install anything user supplied, I guess they're worried about liability...

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    I get the feeling these Tesla’s are getting *A LOT* of use with Hertz. I often see them completely rented out when I check closer to the date that I need (I have a reservation but am always curious on demand). I also had to wait for a car to be ready for me at SNA earlier this month, indicating...

    Supercharger - Boardman, OR (LIVE Jun 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    If I had seen this momentum about a year ago, I might be in a Rivian truck instead of upgrading to a Performance Y. I love Tesla, but boy I want one of those Rivians. (Horrible looking mapping and UI and stuff, but it's about the perfect size for me for a truck and not nearly as polarizing as...

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    How's that work when Hertz upsells the Sirius XM service at a daily charge? I suspect we'll see premium connectivity become an option as Tesla expands it's dashboard and API offerings to fleet agencies. That certainly is an extra profit option for rental companies. $5/day for a 7 day rental...

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    None of mine have every had premium connectivity, you must have lucked out and got a vehicle that is ~30 days old or something. (I've rented four times I think)

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    Can confirm once the key card is used it will be removed from the app… though at check out I got a notice that the key card was used *while my mobile phone wasn’t close by* and thus the car was being removed from the account. Either way, once linked it worked perfectly for me for my 9 day...

    Help with home charging on a new construction house...

    I should also note that I added three additional 20 amp independent circuits which could potentially see fairly high load (computers down the road) and I might add a 1.5 to 2 ton mini split to the garage down the road… so 320 was probably worth it if I was out near the edge of 200.

    Help with home charging on a new construction house...

    When I got to the final sign offs with the construction manager it turned out that it is NOT a NEMA 14-50 that the sales agent thought. The construction manager actually called his head electrician for this new build area and confirmed, it’s a run sized for 100 amps to where ever I want in the...

    Impossible to Remove Stain/Mark on White Seats

    Those things also need to be reapplied like every 4-6 months for maximum protection. Any abrasion will wear that stuff off pretty quickly, much faster than if just used as passive protection (like if I sat for months and then you spilled coffee on it or something). I usually clean them about...

    High pitched sound from HVAC, is this something service will address?

    Ended up trading in the vehicle for a Performance Y before the end of summer… so unfortunately no first hand experience if Tesla would have fixed this.

    Supercharger - George, WA (LIVE 7 Nov 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    I suspect plenty of people either don’t expect as many people charging as they end up with, don’t actually see revenue increase much (or at least do a poor job correlating it with chargers) or simply don’t care what they signed. I also don’t recall actually ever seeing a contract to host a...

    Supercharger - George, WA (LIVE 7 Nov 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    I don't love it, but I want a better solution that business owners feeling like people charging are taking advantage of them and us having to feel like little kids asking if we can use the restroom. I really feel weird walking into places like hotels and asking the desk where the restroom is...

    Supercharger - George, WA (LIVE 7 Nov 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    Regards to the bathroom situation that's starting to show up more and more ("hostile" hosts that lock the bathrooms or claim they're just for customers). I wonder if this will be a slight nudge towards pay for use bathrooms. While I hate paying for anything extra these days, if there was a...

    TPMS tire location wrong after rotation

    Is it just “reset” under tires (the same screen you can select winter or all season/summer tires)?

    TPMS "Tire Pressure Low" error message on all four wheels... what are the odds all 4 tires are low?

    The pressure should update within a minute or two of driving. While it could be reading sensors that are in the garage in tires that aren't on your car, if you left work or something it 100% wouldn't be reading those. The bluetooth sensors probably only have a range for a few feet to cut down on...

    Let’s play is it totaled or not?

    Truly the best news I could have got, lol All in all I obviously wish this never happened to me, I'm still kinda annoyed my *perfect* car is now... slightly not perfect... but I've also signed a contract on a new construction home so some extra cash certainly helps with that :P

    Let’s play is it totaled or not?

    Quick update to this, I'll speak more about ultimate repair quality and stuff like that later when I have more time, but I finally reached the end of this and was paid out a diminished value amount. The person I hired researched and calculated an $11,144 diminished value and my insurance offered...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    The McGuiar’s is only 8.5-9 pH and unless you’re dumping that on direct I doubt you’re anywhere near that… even with a foam cannon you’re probably diluting it down enough…

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    I was more worried there was a PIN assigned or something that upon a software update or restart I might be asked to enter. I never lock my vehicle down at all so I don't know what might be possible, etc.

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    So the ones with brushes might actually be "better." Since they have a mechanical way of cleaning (using a brush) they often can use less potent chemicals. The touchless specifically use chemicals that are high and low pH, which is what causes the damage. A quick google search brings up some Car...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    I think a lot of cars say to hand wash only... owners can make their mind up on if they want to or not. Car washes could also use far less harsh chemicals, but then the car isn't as clean and customers complain. I think this would be a hard one to win, especially since in the owners manual it...

    MY Door Trim Discoloration

    They must have changed the trim then at some point. Before this was a chemical etching process that was chemically altering the black anodized metal. There's nothing to clean off. You can cover it up with products, but the actual metal and anodized layer had been changed from the pH of the wash...

    Oh the plus side, EVERYONE will build out Tesla (NACS) plugs. EA will have them, EVGo, ChargePoint, etc. While Tesla will be the primary stop point, having options will be great, and hopefully reliability will improve, since Tesla will eat everyone lunch if it doesn't. Tesla should also have...

    Renting a Y from Hertz?

    Every time I've rented the default charge level has been 100%... only once did I pick up a car that wasn't fully charged (it was like 96%). These cars probably take a hard hit on the batteries and I've been impressed with the range as well...
