We too have a 200 amp transfer switch to make going on and off the grid seamless. I do wish I had the newer 24kw air cooled Generac because the power does seem to waver. However the real worth of the generator is the true piece of mind you get during storms or planned power outages. No matter...

I was wondering about Texas if they allow above ground propane tanks. If they don't do they allow underground propane tanks? Just wondering about all the things that make Texas different (as far as building codes).

Question: Does your neighborhood allow large propane tanks using underground lines to supply the generator/house?

We got our generator once we had an outage and my wife couldn't open the garage door to get to Starbucks. Enough said.

I live in northern California along the coast and we lose power quite frequently due to all our trees. Now with planned outages due to wildfire prevention efforts it seems that it can happen at any time during fire season. When we first moved here we were made aware of this and so we installed...

I understand your thinking but around here the guy coming at you may be a double trailer log truck with redwoods or a fire truck (they take up their entire lane) and you are going around a corner (right hand turn) so you are moving toward them head on. I can slow down for people on bicycles and...

It is good to know that other people have this same problem on 2 lane roads (one lane in each direction). I would like to request a feature to Tesla to fix this problem but I don't know where I can suggest a feature to Tesla officially. Roughly, I'd like to have an autosteer offset expressed...

I put in a service request for my Model Y (June 2020 vin) and asked them if they Tesla could add it much like they do with the garage door opener. Today I got a message that no such "Retro" kit exists and so they canceled my service appointment. Ok. If Tesla does want to make the Y more like...

On a daily basis, I try to use your first suggestion but I charge between 80% to 90% but closer to 80 than to 90. On a performance model Y that works out to 241 miles on a daily charge meaning that I'm 50 miles less than the maximum of 100% which to me seems reasonable. It also means that...

I guess I don't understand. If there is really a suggested regime for charging to make the battery last as long as possible it should be in the user manual. If not, why not? Either Tesla stands behind the charging regime or they don't. We shouldn't have to guess at this. Here is an idea -...

What you are saying actually answers a bunch of questions. If Tesla can't redistribute Google maps, they wouldn't be able to keep a live cache to do online updates except through the internet. Maybe on some sort of google subscription service they could remarket static periodic maps. In rural...

I have the Model Y and I've ordered a Jeda hub that has a hidden compartment just big enough for the Samsung T3 1/2 Terabyte SSD drive for my Dashcam and Sentry mode that fits just below the dual phone chargers. It adds powered USB ports so we already should have the potential "owned" drive...

Around here in my local area, Verizon is king. No one I know has AT&T. But many lower priced cars like my Honda Accord Touring with using low res screens, have no problem with their low res maps anywhere I've gone even with no cell or satellite coverage (against a mountainside). So it looks...

Sounds like we are getting into a "New Feature Request" zone. I am not going to travel the entire country in one trip. When I go to my AAA office for maps I ask by the state and sometimes by region. For me, I would be happy with "Western US" or for now, California, Oregon, Washington and...

Not to mention the price of the speeding tickets and the classes she would need to attend. I'm just curious but what is the speed limit in Illinois? I live in a rural area north of San Francisco and we don't have any freeways that are close but we have lots of very curvy roads that have hairpin...

Something like that sounds like it could be possible or to embed very fine grid wires into the all glass roof of the Y to form a download grid for satellite reception. It sure is a bunch of glass.

We have. For me, it is not so much the maps themselves but when the maps show me places to stay and places to eat, and then display it on a map so I know exactly how to get there including their phone number which I can dial to my car connected smart phone then I have a very powerful tool for...

When I get a chance, I'll drive down to Elk CA from Fort Bragg CA and I'll put up Google Maps and then I'll see. Last time I went down there I ran into something like poison oak (it wasn't - it was something I'd never experienced before but spreads really easily) so I'll be more careful next...

Since it seems that I too will have to rely on my phone and not my 80k Tesla for navigating, you said that "my phone was still navigating". What phone app were you using or were you just using Google Maps? I haven't had to do this phone navigating with my Honda Accord so I'm not used to...

I'm sure our maps are different. New Zealand is way smaller than the US in area so it would make sense that the images are more dense than the "out of cell areas" in the US. This is not a positioning problem because my phone can still find my location in Google maps using my phone. My 2019...

It is not just the middle of the country that has dead spots for cell coverage, but many places are dead spots. Just 200 miles from the Fremont factory along the Mendocino coast try going south of Mendocino about 10 miles and head south and your detailed maps will disappear. The fudged map is...

I took delivery of my new Model Y Performance just at the end of June. I live on the coast of California, north of San Francisco just a bit less than 200 miles. Yesterday I drove from Fort Bragg (CA) to the small town of Elk CA (also on the coast) and just south of Mendocino my Google view...

I'm with you - I miss my Sirius XM satellite radio. I've ordered a car compatible one from Sirius but I have no idea if it will work. Has anyone already tried this?

In your "SXM" reference are you referring to Sirius XM satellite radio? I have it in my 2019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid and it makes travelling to out of the way places that don't have cell coverage much more enjoyable. I make up a USB Thumb drive for my songs but sometimes I'd like to hear...

My mistake because I didn't ask but I had only 166 miles to go and home was 210 miles away. But I easily found a very nice restaurant and deli with a good supercharger. It was supposed to be a 250 kw charger, but the one I plugged into was just 150 kw. Does anyone know how you can tell the...

I'm curious about CHADEMO. Did you buy the almost $500 adapter from Tesla or did you come up with some other option?

Mine looked like it was dead but I finished my dinner and went back to it about 15 minutes later and it looked like it went. Outside of that you probably could try again.

Upon delivery did you have 2020.11.103.5? or something else (forgive me if you've already told us in a different post). Forget I said anything, I just got my notice of an update. I don't know what version but I'm just happy to see that software updates do in fact work (I think so.....). No...

It just looks great. I'll have to investigate who in my area (somewhere in a couple of hundred miles) that does that magical stuff. Any word on a software update for 2020.11.103.5? I have a narrow garage (with a lot of stuff in book shelves) and the rear camera view with both side cameras...

Beautiful. Did you do something to the paint (wrap, coat, etc.) to make it shine so well?

What is Teslascope?

If you have a windows computer you could try reformatting the thumb drive into a regular FAT format. I have a 256GB drive that is still FAT and not ExFat and my FAT thumb from Samsung works fine.

Thank you for responding. So with your post my idea that keeping us on 2020.11.103.5 to support our tow hitch was false so I'm at a loss at to why we were delivered with this release and so many others have been delivered with a more advanced release. Yours was LR and mine is the performance...

I too have the same 2020.11.203.5 and I use a very tiny 256gb thumb drive that is formatted as a fat32 drive (samsung I believe) and that is the way the drive came. If you right click on the drive in File Explorer (assumes Windows) and choose properties the File System: should show FAT32. This...

I too am waiting for some software update from 2020.11.103.5 which is 10.2 release. But I did notice from an earlier post, that they has a tow hitch as do I. I wonder how many other there are that have the same 2020.11.103.5. Perhaps that is the last release from some Model X that had the...

Do you have a model 3 dual motor, or performance, or model 3 or 3P?

I got mine 6/27 at Rocklin also with 20.11.103.5. Does anyone know how Tesla numbers it releases? It said before this number it was 10.2 which is newish? But when I look on the web, all the youtubers are talking about 2020.24.6.1. How does this translate to 10.x where I'm wondering what "x"...

Some earlier posts were saying Elon was arrogant in fighting with the county. Elon is like a force of nature and I believe we need to look at the many things he has accomplished. I've download the Playbook for returning to work that Tesla put out and this took a ton of thought about what Tesla...

I believe F5 works too......

Yeah - it is like that....
