Have a Juicebox 48. Tesla built in TOU schedule is not as useful to say DO NOT CHARGE FROM 5-11PM for utility agreed time I won't charge. But Juicebox lets me set this as a no-go time. New problem with Tesla/Juicebox. Recently, the car has started doing something weird. 1. Plug in at say 6pm...

As X owners, lets face it, the lights of the lightshow are OK, but when the rear doors open up for people who have never seen an X, THAT is the AHHHH moment. (Yes, there are LOTS of people where I live that have never seen an X before even in 2022.) Adding lightshow to the S/3/Y is ok, but not...

So new 2022 MX LR is coming Monday. Reserved Jan 3, 2021 so I'm locked in at a good price. Just got trade offer from Tesla on the old X and WOW it's good, so getting the new X, 'cons' listed below and all. 'Old one' is a late 9-2020, H-pack battery with 371 mile EPA LR+ Red/White, 20s, 5...

Our experience is so bad at night on 2 lane state highway, wife makes ME drive instead of FSD Last night, 40 miles to a Christmas party w/o her, so I did a test. FSD on and it picked 59 MPH in a 55 zone. OK. I counted times it slowed down at all. 27. No overpasses, or parked cars on side of...

Lots of 2 lane side roads here and a great thing of FSD 10.4 was I could set speed as high as wanted even if database wrong or speed limit unknown. 10.5 reverts BACK to original operation where can only set speed to +5 over assumed limit. I miss being able to set what I want as some roads are...

As I posted a critical post about 400 miles being enough and disagreeing with Elon, I though I should document something about the X that is AWESOME and better than any other car we have. The FM radio reception is better than any car we have in remote areas, bar none! As stated in the 400 mile...

When the Plaid+ S was canceled, one reason Elon gave was anything over 400 miles doesn't matter. Elon said, “What we are seeing is that once you have a range above 400 miles, more range doesn’t really matter," he said. "There are essentially zero trips above 400 miles where the driver doesn’t...

Ok, Wisconsin, so BIG fan of Winter Only tires. Current choice was a rec from my Canadian Friends, the Nokian R3s and R3 SUV. I ALWAYS try to go as narrow as possible while keeping overall diameter the same as stock. My X has 265 20s front and 275 20s rear. Way too wide for best snow...

Trying to get an appointment. What a waste of time. 25 minutes in to trying, have 6 issues need looked at. Typed description of each in app. Tried to load pict for 1 (just spinning wheel in app for 5 minutes, ever did upload). Get all done with what can and the NEXT button on the bottom of...

Well, this makes sense, but kind of sucks. In my area, going to Michigan's wasteland of Super Chargers of The U.P, I'm looking at all options. There is a winery on the way kind of with a 16kW destination charger, access 24/7, that is a possibility for a winter top-off if need be. Just learned...

Life too short to live on Elon time. Ordered a new X Jan 10 2021, This car above is NOT it. Delivery for new was Feb, then -, now don't even have car in account today. Still have 2021 on order, as $100 is lost anyway and get to see when it would be available. That car is named MIA (Missing...

Well going backwards. Looking into delivery on a new order created today and says May/June. My X order from 1-10-2021 no longer has a delivery date. Was Feb15-March15 until recently. More important, the price of white or cream interior use to be $1500 adder, back in January. Now both are...

How can a company that declares is wants to move of ICE and Fossil Fuels for climate reasons back Bitcoin or any crypto? A Google search of energy usage is 1 BitCoin transaction is 660 KWHs. A Model 3 could go over 2500 miles! World usage of energy for Bitcoin is like the same carbon...

What a terrible article right now. Comments full of info from pre-update with price and pictures of post. Obviously they haven't driven it and should not be implying they can even judge the new version until they do. Ex. In the Fuel milage section, they list the pre-updated EPA...

Just checked (12-9-2020) and 8-12 weeks out, so the Jan shutdown affects us to. M3 and MY are still 2-3 weeks right now, so just a MS and MX thing. Hoping for good changes, (octovalve, heat pump, minor refresh, dual pane glass, battery update ) while keeping the good (binacle screen, FWD as...

HERE is the big advantage Tesla has. Over on Teslaratti they talk of the MachE official EPA range. 270 miles vs 326 on the MY. Ford Mustang Mach-E gets near-Tesla-level EPA-rated range BUT! The Tesla has a smaller battery(75kw vs 88 kw in MachE) so Tesla battery costs are LESS to go father...

I heard the seats are really covered in a man-made (plastic or vinyl really) "vegan leather". A bit disappointing for a $80K+ car, as real leather at that level can be very nice and soft and durable. Really wish they just offered a good quality cloth as those are durable also. My question comes...

Haven't seen this discussed here, but the initial FSD videos on youtube look pretty good for being in the rain at night. Elon must think so too, as the price of FSD goes up $2k on Monday. Get those orders in over the weekend before the increase

My state sucks for renewables and EV's, as can't purchase a Tesla new in the state of Wisconsin, so I will have to go elsewhere and import to the state. My fears: 0. Have to buy from Minneapolis, as it's our closest Tesla shop. Ok, but 3 .5 hours from any warantee repairs. 1. RANGE...

Really looking at an X. For Wife buy-in, looking to save $$$ of course. Pretty sure FSD can be added later for $$$$ if becomes great, but for me pretty sure not worth $8k right now. We live in remote Northern Wis. No SCs for 2 hours, and they are all south of us, except Duluth. So We don't...

Looking at a Long distance or Performance X. Really Need the distance, as I'm in one of the few places where I can't SC on some trips (northern Wis to U.P. of Michigan, 240 miles door to door). In Winter, even a LR+ and 30% range loss is going to be close. That said, a Performance with 2.6...
