    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    Be glad you don’t have a Rivian, you cannot use a usb for music. I have all my music on thumb drives and I’m unable to use that on my R1T. Cannot believe RJ did not make usb drives usable on the Rivian.

    Help/Advice: PG&E Forcing Me Off EV2-A due to 800% Baseline Allowance Rule

    Originally I installed the Tesla powerwalls to have power in a PSPS, but running the house off the powerwalls during peak energy costs save me quite a bit. I did not want a generator that used natural gas or propane in my area PG&E has continued to raise prices on both of those energy sources. I...

    Help/Advice: PG&E Forcing Me Off EV2-A due to 800% Baseline Allowance Rule

    We have in the past had many PSPS events and since we are on a well we have no water. I was able to get the resilience incentive for my 2 powerwalls because of where I live. So I run the house on the powerwalls during the peak pricing which is 4pm to 9pm. The solar charges the powerwalls the...

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    Hydrogen makes no sense to me, dangerous no place to refuel and cost as much as gas.

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    I agree with you on this, I don’t own a gas vehicle for several reasons. I want to help the environment and not support the fossil fuel industry for me it’s not all about saving money.

    Car & Driver: The Mach E is simply better than the Model Y

    How ever you want to say it is fine with me but the reality is that the utilities in California are making billions so the fact they did not take care of their infrastructure is why in this state in 2017 we had massive fires do to the above. Monopolies out of control with no oversite.

    What's your next EV after Tesla?

    That is a good looking car, I owned Jaguars before Tesla and I had a 1967 XKE and loved it other than the lack of reliability. I used to carry my tool box in the trunk.

    Not sure this is the correct place to ask this question but I just sold my 2013 Model S to a friend and wondering how he can access the Tesla app. I heard somewhere that he won’t be able to do that until the car is registered in his name.

    Screens go black when supercharging

    Yes, today I plugged in at a supercharger and the screen said it would be 45 minutes. I sat in the car the whole time and when it got down to saying 10 minutes left shortly after that both screens went black. I think like Tam said it just timed out.

    Because they have no reason to think about the future and use the latest technology or spend any money on their infrastructure when you are a monopoly out of control it all comes down to how much money they can make.

    California Utilities Plan All Out War On Solar, Please Read And Help

    This just makes no sense considering that California wants to minimize the use of fossil fuel, no gas cars sold by 2035 and every new home has to have some solar. It’s to bad that we cannot get rid of the 3 monopolies that run our grid.

    Hydrogen vs. Battery

    This is something that I have wondered about, since most vehicle manufacturers are going to EV’s I wonder how the grid can handle that. Pacific Graft and Extortion cannot even keep the grid up now how will they handle more usage of the grid.

    No, if I leave the car and come back then album art is blank on both screens until I play something. If I decide to play another album the old art still stays on the dash and the new album shows on the MCU.
