Lol what’s new 9/32?

See my link. It’s spinning to generate heat, to ultimately heat the cabin and / or battery.

I don’t think you understand how Tesla work. See figure 3 https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/electric-motor-waste-heat-mode-to-heat-battery

Have you been in a Y with a heat pump? Heat pumps need heat to grab. My front motor spins at full vacuum cleaner level to generate waste heat, to feed the heat pump. So it could be that. Or, could legit have something loose or bad. I’d compare to a random Y.

Most cars with AWD had a bad turning radius. Not sure if the single motor tesla has a bit better.

My trim has a dent on it from a falling bike. I got the same quote. Sounds like the entire trim and window come as one piece. Too bad we couldn’t split it, combine my good glass with your good trim :) then would only need to buy 1 haha.

Both charges it 0-100 by the next morning. 14-50 also charges an RV

Marco is so fun. Drove from MI down last year in my Y. Was great for 2 kids and a wife. We drove all over the island and took a day trip to the keys. For more stuff yah an X would be great. On the other hand, if you have 3 car money, do you want to make 4 charging stops a day? Could buy a...

Have owned both. We do all our road trips in our Y and love it. Fully family, no one carsick. are your kids reading or doing tablets? Some people are sensitive to that in a car. Take away the toys and have them enjoy the window for 3 hours, and you may find the motion sickness cured

This is why you should measure a charge in kw or kw/h and not miles / hr.

1 year and 17k miles love it, no better car out there. recently helped my wife buy a new Dino bone car and wow, we both agree it’s 10 years behind the Tesla despite costing the same. Sadly in our case we had to because no BEV in the size we need.

Reasons for a 3: save a few bucks Tiny bit faster Tiny but more range everything else is a win for the Y. Range is the only thing I am sad about in my Y, but it’s not that big.

I’m not sure which I like less, the yolk or the screen. It looks like a kindle fire glued to a perfectly nice dash

I don’t think you can buy a new Tesla without a heatpump in model year 2021

I wish we had options. Like another post here going faster than my car does is worth $0 to me. I’d pay at least 5k to add another 100 miles to my model Y, maybe 8k.

Yah... wow I ordered my Honda from the factory. It got a $750 vin etch on the windows. That’s dealer, did that even cost you $1 to do?

I do want a cheaper X. I don't want a EV mini-van/PT-cruiser baby.

I would get better tint. Much easier and cleaner than messing with shades.

Hey hey hey, we should start a Tesla Ridgeback club. My 100 pounder is my male, too smart for his own good. nothing but trouble. Spends all day getting to a very highly places fruitbowl, eats an entire bunch of bananas, peels + stems and all, makes a mess. My 80 pounder is my sweet girl...

I ran out of gas one time when I was 16, like 30 feet from the pump. Then I learned my lesson and stopped being dumb ;) That said, a Tesla can use energy when not moving, so it could be a bit easier to get in a bad spot.

Gotcha. I will rent a home-depot truck for $29 for the 1 time a year I need to haul something big (or I can fold down seats and put it in my Y). My X is just for people and trips, so 6-seater is still sounding like a win for me.

what would you do? we are eyeing an X next, and with 3 kids was going to do a 6 seater. A 7 seater folds flatter but I would never use the third seat in the middle row?

You see lines though. It’s doing something. wonder if this was a mistake in software from last winter to this...

I have an 80 and a 100 pound ridgeback. sometimes door konks their head if they are wild while it is closing, but it “works”. Not sure I would do a full day but 4-6h should be fine.

South Bend is fun. Also realize I get to charge at home 97% of the time. Every time I go by the SC I see a sleb with FUSC sitting there on their phone milking the electrons. I value my time highly. Not having to charge for hours a month to save some pennies is huge. One hour working more than...

You think buying a 100k car to save $30 a month in electricity is a good way to save money? Boy do I have a bridge to sell you.

You guys need to make some EVs then!

I would get it repaired for <$50. It’s not in your line of sight. Maybe crack spreads, maybe not, but worth the effort.

They did not change this. Your car needs a 12V or it’s a paperweight. What they changed is earlier detection of failing 12V. Ideally you can swap it before it’s dead.

It's a warranty item, don't pay for what is free.

Plug in every night before you go to sleep. the reason is when you precondition in the morning, it’s pulling heat from the house line rather than the battery. This is saving wear and tear on your battery. save wear and tear on your $15,000 Battery not your $400 charger.

Sending a destination to a Tesla car.

They cost like $40, I think he was hinting you should order some ;P One of the IMO must have accessories.

We have a LRY as our main and road trip car. A SRY is a great second car for around town, and we are thinking about it. Our max range is like 40 miles a day. Could even go a smaller battery. and we live in Indiana so it gets plenty cold.

dealer in the backseat test drives? Wow, I haven’t had to do once of those since I was 18. Those are supper annoying.

going on a 50 mile road trip, an 80-90% charge is enough. Going on a 300 mile road trip? You need the range, so go to 100%.

UFO sound is the PWS, or Pedestrian Warning Speaker. It is required for all 2021 cars by the US govt.

If you follow the heat pump not working in cold threads to their conclusion, the error is a $50 faulty temp sensors. They are replacing them, and working on a redesign. To repeat, heat not working at 0F is just a single bad part that is getting replaced. The heat pump does not work "worse" at...

what? I center on rural highways. Why don’t you?

Can’t imagine not buying a SRY as my in town car if this bill goes live. Drive it 3 years and likely sell it for what I paid.

new EVs you often pay more. I remember shopping Prius when it was new, and best deal with 5k over MSRP due to a 5k environmental fee. Yup, Toyota dealer wanted me to pay a fee to help the environment.

Did you adjust your follow distance? I use 4 or 5.

Does your electric panel have space for two more 60 amp circuits? If you already have a 60 amp AC and a 60 amp hot tub or something, you may be rather close to the max of your panel. You also hardly ever need 50 amp vs 30 amp. I would consider dropping at least one down to 30 amp.

Yes they can, that’s the big upside.

use plugshare to find a L2 in the break? ABRP doesn’t do l2 stops either does it?

Is there a better option than ABRP? I see dumb stuff like this too, but don’t know of a better option. Honestly the Tesla nav is often better than this.

Now remember to set max charge to 80-90%. Only blip it to 100 right before. 250+ mile road trip.

That sounds about right. Oh you didn’t get the internal memo the building moved? Hah!

If you want a real 3 row BEV X is about the only option. May end up trading my Y for an X. Idk. Never spent so much on a car. I don’t need air cushions for my butt, my buns work well. Literally the only thing I want from the X is the interior size and 6 seat config. holding out for now for a...

I’m a big fan of reducing decisions. having to share and fiddle with stuff is a recipe for waking up and “oh crap I have 20%! Charge” beat option two power sharing Tesla wall connectors. cheap option two 240 30 amp connectors connected to mobile charger. You save some wire cost over 50 amp...
