I just wanted to update this thread with the FIX! I drove about 200 miles after I picked it up, at 85 mph, and no more air leak. Kinda sad I didn't get to experiment with indoor wind turbines, though... I have pasted the text from SC below: Concern: Customer states: Something Else - Air...

I have the same issue as OP on my 2023 MY Fremont build. I have installed the Basenor door seal kit, which reduced the wind enough that I can no longer power a large wind turbine inside the vehicle. It is still annoying and cold. SC wants to charge me $ for a mobile tech repair. I really...

No, I am only drawing from the car battery when the car is on. And I am drawing the power from the 12v cig socket. So NO direct connection to the battery. I have already been down the direct to battery connection road. That is a road that is very rough with 12v reset potholes. When the car...

Here is my solution. I have soldered a tap at the rear socket location. The + wire runs through a diode that prevents power feedback to the car battery, and is connected then to the positive terminal on an Ohmu battery. That battery is then connected to a power distribution center (RigRunner)...

I installed an Ohmu battery in the frunk. I use a lot of 12v accessories including cameras, radios, monitors, etc. All non-standard equipment draws from the Ohmu. I have a RigRunner for distribution. You can see this setup in the attached photo. The Ohmu is directly connected to the...

The 20.x versions have been problematic for recognizing speed signs that are taller than normal. I can see on the visualization that the Tesla is seeing the post, but not the sign. This has been an intermittent problem for my M3 over version changes, but the signs it cannot recognize remain...

Because Tesla has set the AP/NOA (and FSDb) top speed to 80mph, this is no longer just a nag. This is more pronounced in the West where 80mph is a predominant speed limit on freeways. It has become a hazard, and I am the slow car complicating the flow. For my 2019 M3, the UI displays 80, the...

You should be running TeslaUSB on a Pi3+ or a Pi4 or a PiZeroW. I run TeslaUSB on a Pi4 with a 1TB SSD. Soooo much better in every way.

Slightly delayed reply here. There are a lot of reasons for this...load balancing the trailer output, load balancing all solar input sources for positive output to the grid while charging, life cycle of the trailer batteries, life cycle of the EV batteries...to name just a few.

One more thing about this installation.... It is a mash up of different PV, battery, and generator installations. So how to keep track of it all? The rooftop solar is SolarEdge, and the app tells me what it is producing. But the contribution of the trailers was a bit of mystery beyond the...

Dude, this is great work. And its on wheels! Love what you have done here. I respect the acknowledgement of learning a lot during these projects. I certainly learned a lot doing my own design and installation of my configuration on 63 panels with inverters and batteries (on trailers). You...

A quick update to the solar effort. The M3 is now drawing from 3 solar trailers (30 panels, 3 battery banks, 6 inverters, 13kW dual fuel generator). The trailers now backfeed excess energy to the grid. I have learned so much since the original post, and have implemented many efficiencies...

I have had to restart my BT on the Android phone a few times with this release. But the problems were a complete failure to connect while inside the car, requiring the key card to drive. No intervening BT connections or changes on the phone. That has not happened for a year or so. Have not...

I will do that. I get there often. If it makes you feel any better, I have been on the Starlink beta most of the year. It has been a rough beta, but things are getting brighter with every launch. I've noticed the same pattern in my M3 OTA updates for two years...rough starts followed by...

For those of us in Rockville, UT, who were unable to score 100, we thank you for your service. When I do finally get the beta (SS98) and come down to St. George, I will know who to thank for the seamless experience.😉

Well, Well, I am just asking for a broader understanding in the discussion. It would not be correct to make all of the assumptions about shading in a permanent mount and applying that to a mobile mount. Isn't that the cool point of the trailer? That it makes shading and angling just a...

Remember that you have not only the rotation axial, but also the rotation level, which gives you a different universe of angulation. That means that shading can be perpetually avoided. "Open your mind"

Sigh. Shrug. Sigh. Where do I begin here? Uhm....wow. 4S2P, really? What photo are you looking at?

Each panel is equipped with its own micro inverter, which helps. This is the winter solstice so the sun is very low at mid-day which exaggerates the shading in this photo. Remember that these panels rotate to wherever you want the angle to be. The trailer can likewise be leveled or angled in...

The Sunny Islands were not on when this picture was taken. The actual power production is much higher per side, about 1k per.

That is a convolution that only a Tesla owner could think of. I congratulate you sir!

These panels put out 1k per side at 240v. How much more power are you thinking?

Then I think you should know better than to create a post where you cite the price the power company sets as the cost of grid power. That is the exact wrong thinking that keeps people from renewable energy. The cost of that energy may be priced at $0.10 by Rocky Mountain Power, but we all know...

Here is that actual power production at mid-day today....

I appreciate all of that. Except that it is not necessary to charge at the higher rate. Also you assume that only the car is charged using the trailer. Using more energy to charge at a lower rate is OK, since I have more free energy, and I use the available energy at the trailer for other...

A higher ROC is completely unnecessary for my driving habits, it helps make up for the needed 90%SOC required in my rural area, and it helps with lifetime usability. It also allows my rooftop solar to completely service a daytime charge.

I do have a tow package on my DM ER 2019 Model 3. We estimated the wet weight of the trailer at around 5k lbs, so no...at least not my Model 3. The trailer itself is a heavy, dually, pintle hitch trailer...so more complications.

I have the Version H. The specs are here: DC Solar Mobile Solar Generator Trailers | Online Auctions Nationwide

First, I do not care about the economic calculation. When it comes to clean energy, I never have. So I have not done the math even as far as you have. I have rooftop solar on a grid tie net meter. I live in the desert southwest, where sunshine is plentiful, and grid power is unreliable. So...

I got this at the Las Vegas Speedway near Nellis AFB. They are auctioning about 4k of these trailers across the country (in varying configurations) because of the DC Solar Bankruptcy. Yes, those are batteries. Those batteries took 39 gallons of fluid to properly fill. All of the specs are...

Oh yes there is that. But for the towing I am anxiously awaiting my Cybertruck!

I recently bought at auction the DC Solar trailer. All in it was just over $5k (bid was $4400). I limit my home charging to 20A no matter the source. I installed a NEMA1450 receptacle, and boom. I achieved the magic four words..."it charges my Tesla".

I agee with OP....last two updates have degraded the AP experience. My FSD m3 is less reliable than three updates ago.

I am referring to a level of counter steer pressure just under the threshold of canceling AP.

I am interested to know if others have had my experience. My FSD 2019 M3 is a great car. Probably the greatest car ever built in this class and price range. The FSD driving experience is evolving, and rapidly as of late. I have noticed that when the AP is enabled the cornering is not...

This issue was resolved on the Hulu side. I closed my new account, and re-activated the old one...the one that was logged into by mistake in my M3. I then got goodness. I do not see any way to do this on the Tesla side. Knects: You are doing it wrong. Do the St. George, SLC, Park City loop...

Unfortunately, that is not available to me. I only get a nearly blank page, with one line message "Your account does not have access to the Hulu application." No account name is listed in the upper right.

Tried that, but it does not clear the creds on the console. The initial login info persists.

I have an old Hulu account that is inactive, and a newer one that is active. I mistakenly logged in with the old account credentials, and cannot view anything in that profile. I cannot seem to find a menu option to clear the credentials or log in with a new account. Anyone have thoughts about...
