OK, I have a weird problem. I have Lightshow working on multiple drives with different show on each. I also have a small key tag attached to each so I know what show is on the drive. I tried to create a partition on my thumb drive for LIGHTSHOW/LightShow but while that worked I saw the the...

Construction is well underway.

No way to know. I traded it in for a Tesla Model Y as soon as I had the money.

Another update- Friday's scheduled repair was rescheduled again for September 5th due to Parts not arriving yet. I did get confirmation that this fix would be under warranty and the invoice reflects no charge.

Not so! Tesla had problems with cabin overheating due to the solar effect of the glass roof and so much black in the interior. If you read what Tesla says in the manual, they state exactly the opposite. That you should never leave children and animals in the car even with cabin overheat...

Sorry, English is my second language. Bad English is my first. ;)

Good question. I have two Teslas. The Model S is driven maybe twice a week locally plus road trips on supercharging. The Y, my wife drives 5-6 times a week and a few days does 150-175 miles. She uses the wall charger with the timer set to give her 80% SOC at her departure time for the long...

Also the TeslaFi app can be setup to keep the car awake by simply polling. This might be more efficient than sentry mode which seems to really hit on that phantom drain number. I've never experimented with it but as I recall it didn't reset the timer on COP which is something I'm looking for.

Keeping the car plugged in has been recommended. Setting the charge current to low is the way the EVSE works when plugged into the 120v outlet with a 15 amp breaker. I could set it higher but that would frequently trip the circuit breaker. It works fine at maintaining my SOC during my off...

For when I travel I use an igloo cooler for drinks and sandwiches too. I added a 12v receptacle that is not switched with it's own fuse I use to keep it running. I believe it draws 5 amps or 60watts. Not bad at all. I've been to Arizona a number of road trips and I agree with you about...

When I reset Cabin Overheat Protection in the morning the car never goes above 105° which is spec according to Tesla. At 105 the fans come on and circulate the outside air to cool it down to 100° when the outside air temperature is the same. On cooler days the fans shut off about 96° when the...

Just an update- Based on my photos Tesla decided I needed the new assembly so they ordered it and postponed my repair until Friday the 19th waiting for the part to come in. I got a response back today that they are ready for the repair now. Still confirmed to be done at my house. My SC is...

I also am looking for a solution to this. Sorry if I offend any who live in Alaska but here in Florida the car gets excessively hot. I don't drive it every morning to auto reset the COP. Like just now I forgot to reset it and just checked and the temperature is 148°F. There is some glue...

recalibrated? I'll post back what they come up with. Supposed to be mobile service on Monday the 15th. Hope they can fix it here. The local service center is a zoo now with many people picking up new Teslas. Hard to get into their driveway lately. Some friends had similar problem and...

I recently noticed a similar issue with my 2020 Model S. It doesn't open with the press on the left. It doesn't open with the Supercharger or Wall charger button. However, if I want to charge I now use the screen unlock button. Then connect. Then I have to touch the start charging for the...

That's where we disagree. I've seen it too many times creep into a T-bone collision unless I abort and back up quick, same as Chuck had to do. It's what humans do because we don't have eyes at the front of the car. But unlike FSD-beta Humans can put it in reverse and back out of the lane or...

Only the cars with FSD purchased would get the free hardware upgrade if Tesla determines that is need to fulfill their listed features. I already got one chip set upgrade on my Model S for free as HW3 came out right at the time my Model S was being built with the remaining HW2.5. That was a...

I don't need to. Chuck uses that corner case because it is right around the corner from his home. But there are probably 10-100 million occluded intersections, some more or less blinded that Tesla will need to solve besides Chuck's corner. You can play games with your micrometer and...

Interesting how you know that location has perfect visibility. I live here and know what he has there isn't the worst I have seen but it is bad, mainly because too often cars hidden from view of the B-Pillar camera are traveling 60mph and when the Tesla creeps into the lane the fast car can't...

First of all I don't think Tesla is waiting for a 9 out of 10 ULT success to release the next update, rather they are looking to solve the high failure rate of ULT. It's a basic maneuver that I see as hampered by occluded vision and lack of cameras at the very front of the vehicles. So Tesla...

I wasn't quoting statistics. The trouble with putting whole numbers as a figure of speech is some will come along and want to disagree because their number is for example 91.702 vs 90%. When Musk says it is now 9 out of 10 times correct nobody questions that. My point is 1 time failure in...

The problem with FSD beta is that 90% is nowhere good enough. True FSD needs to be 100% perfect if it is a pathway toward Robo-Taxi. If there is one serious accident in 100 million miles of FSD, the regulators will seek to outlaw it's use in Level 3 + so Tesla needs to achieve the perfection...

"Culture" is a good word for it. My information came from a group of six students who were in my private scuba diving class. They were all NASCAR drivers and the discussion of what happens if a NASCAR driver loses his license for violating state law. They told me it depends on how much...

EVGo has been part of an incentive program for some new EV owners. These usually are temporary. I had a free card for 2 years on my Nissan Leaf. All these charging companies have had promotion days and even years from time to time.

My concern is that so many drivers will want to show off FSD to friends and not pay attention. Look at the Plaid owners who now want to show off the acceleration and speed the car is capable of. Is the Plaid safe driving 140 mph on the interstate by a person with no training as a race track...

I have one in my neighborhood that is worse. Big bushes right out to the street. Only way that will ever get resolved is with a camera at the front of the car, say at the headlight aimed perpendicular to the car.. I proved this with a gopro mounted out in front. I have to pull out half a...

Put it on the adapter to prevent rain from running into the Tesla socket. ?? I use one of these and it slides up against the port...

Now in Indianapolis and expected delivery on Thursday. :)

I usually shut off the extra stuff like that. Charging is faster.

Current delivery is not available from FedEx but location is Alaska.

I plan to keep the CCS adapter and J1772 adapter in a case in the frunk with all my charging equipment. Doesn't take long to find it and will just be needed in a few locations on my road trips. I have more important stuff taking up the center console. It's just a backup when no SC available...

Yes, that's the company. Last week I pulled into a 12 station SC and all were full. Two Big gas pickup trucks and 10 Teslas. But the lot at WAWA's was packed near by so a 14ft. extension wouldn't have worked. In 5 minutes an older Model S left and I was able to back in to charge at his spot...

Same here, message from Fed EX that Harumio created a label for shipping. No ETA yet but lately here FedEX has not been on time so I don't expect anything from an ETA. We're on opposite sides of the US so it should be a few extra days for me ??? The good news is we now can charge everywhere...

Do you recall how many they said were in stock on 5/20?

I know it's not easy but comparing cost per minute is not a valid way because there are too many factors that affect these actual charges. In each charge session you have to adjust for charge power source such as Tesla 250KW or 150KW vs. what the Blink stations use, and then adjust the rate...

Interesting! When I placed the order it said nothing about a preorder. It only said 2 in stock. After I ordered and paid it said 1 in stock. Now the catalog page has info that is quite different. My order must have been bumped.

Seems Harumio does not stock these cases. I got an answer to my inquiry: Thank you for your email. Upon checking your order *****, we have already placed your order with the supplier and we are now waiting for it to be delivered to our warehouse. We will ship your order as soon as we receive...

I ordered the Harumio case when they said 2 in stock. After my order they said 1 in stock. That was Monday. Got confirmation on the order but haven't heard from them since. Sent email asking status.

While my case is smaller, I like the idea of having the Harumio one. To me worth the additional price for a combined adapter kit in my Frunk. I have other uses for the smaller case anyway. They only have one left. Thanks tps5352 for the link.

I sent a note to Harumio to see if they were planning to offer that custom case separately and this was their response: "We deeply apologise that the adaptor case is not available to purchase at the moment." at the moment? seems they may be considering making one available in the future.

CCS1 is only given the pass because the Federal Government is forcing it on the EV market. Left alone, Tesla would be the standard as Tesla was planning to open up it to their competition anyway. It's part of their mission. But, since Tesla refuses to go along with the current...

Here's a picture of the adapter in the case I bought. It is a tight fit but works.

I bought this one. It is a really tight fit but will protect that pin that could easily break off in a soft bag. Too bad I missed out on the Harumio case. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PZWKP4N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Keep us posted on this, please.

The two common problems I have heard from CCS users with any of the CCS cabinerts are the plug weight is so heavy and stiff that it pulls down and doesn't make good connection to the car's communications connections. I saw somebody used a telescoping stick to support it when plugged in. The...

I'll join the side that didn't like his snide remarks about the Tesla connector. From my experience, the only people worried about my future of having a Tesla connector are non-Tesla owners. He never mentioned the fact that it might take up to 5 minutes to make connection to CCS but the Tesla...

First I'm glad to learn that the BritneySpears poster has a long history of Tesla shaming. I did not know that. As for the Tesla Supercharging network should be public infrastructure, I disagree. It is a private network for Tesla owners only, for now. That may change in the future as they...

OK, I did not mean that Tesla pulls FSD in all cases of a sale. They have said it remains with the car when is sold privately. But it is not myth that they pull FSD off on any trade-in that goes back through Tesla. Basically you and I agree on this. Sorry if I was not clear in my original...

Just curious- how did you set up a Tesla account and register your salvaged car for supercharging on a salvaged car VIN? Anyone who uses a SC has to have a Tesla account with the car listed. Something doesn't add up. I would think Tesla would flag your car a junked salvaged and not...

Going back to when Tesla first installed a 250KW Supercharger My Model S LR+ got a peak of 207KW 518A 399 volts. For the last year I rarely see anything above 165KW so at some point my Model S is limiting on charging speed current. TeslaFi did record my first CCS / EA 350KW charging...
