    Tesla Semi delivery event, 1 December 2022

    If they were the same why would they show the new connector installed at Frito-Lay shipping dock and how will they get to a high enough charge rate to replenish 70% in 30 min. V4 is a different connector than the MW Semi charger connector. The Semi charger will be 2-3 MW and will be increased...

    Tesla Semi delivery event, 1 December 2022

    Nice work here, You are on it but a few tweaks if you please. The Battery is more than 850kWh, likely closer to 950. There was more before and after the trip. The charge rate will start between 2MW and 3MW using the MW Charger (Semi Charger) and taper as you stated. This is a commercial...

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    So I did your tests, you can see them below. Although the tread temperatures were consistent I found the front wheels had toe out of 4mm of toe out measured at the front of the tire OD vs the rear of the same tire OD. The rear axle did have about the 5mm toe in you indicated. To be clear the...

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    I believe as a new battery it has about 3.5% or more left at "0%" so my 4% is probably more like 7-9% remaining. I only pushed it for science so I could see the soc on the odb data tool! Thanks though.

    Insurance Costs & Problems

    I have 4 cars, they are all about 400-500$/year. I have a 1 MM umbrella policy that gives me liability protection across all cars and my home insurance. I think that is about 800/year. I suppose you could put 100$ of that on each car and the rest on the home and property. I have the umbrella...

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    I have a brand new Y PUP on 21" UT wheels. I just went 190 miles out and back on an expressway and got 75% of the published range. This was at 74-75 mph and with Tires at 44psi and 3 people in the car. It was just what I expected. Left home at 90% and returned home at 4%. The navigation asked...

    Model Y Towing - Experiences Post here

    I do not have the hitch on my Y yet but I always used an anti rattle hitch pin in prior receivers. They have a nut and a spring and then thread in and get snugged. It pulls the receiver to one side to reduce the rattle. Then you can snug the nut under the trailer tongue until it fits the ball...

    My new Model Y's range SUCKS

    I agree. I am getting my YP today with 21"UT wheels and have ordered 18"x8.5" Martian wheels. I will sell the 21" as soon as I have picked out tires and gotten my wheels. They appear to be a month and a half out yet! I am excited to benchmark the 21's and then see the difference. Then In the...

    Insurance Costs & Problems

    I just added my Y performance FSD to our Liberty Mutual insurance in New York State (upstate) for $534 per year. I do not get towing or rental car as I have a spare and use AAA... I do have free glass coverage just in case. I think It is a bargain??

    Anyone regret not opting for performance?

    That is so cool that you will get that option. I used to hack/tune my ICE car and 2K is not many parts with very modest enhancement most of the time. This perspective is what made the Performance swallowable for me. I to am counting on some software improvements over the coming months to...

    Opinions wanted: 2016 Base Model S or new Model Y

    Good perspective. I came at the same question from buy used S VS New Y. I bought the Y. The massive improvements in the design of the car in the Y in parts, battery, and the heat pump swayed me. The Y is several versions of improvement from the used S. I do like the screens and more luxury...

    Anyone regret not opting for performance?

    I agree on the stock. I financed the car and bought stock with the car price (-4500 down...). I consider 2.5% kind of free depending on inflation...
