I don't disagree with you at all, I was trying to clarify when that "round up" rule is applicable since people are often referencing that incorrectly. I stated that the Wall Connector install does not meet those requirements in my earlier post. The continuous rating circuit requirement (125%...

The NEC Section 240.4(B) has some definitions for overcurrent devices rated 800A or Less. It states: "The next higher standard overcurrent device rating (above the ampacity of the conductors being protected) shall be permitted to be used, provided all of the following conditions are met: (1)...

The 2017 NEC does require a readily accessible disconnecting means that is lockable in the open position for EV charging systems MORE THAN 60A or more than 150V to ground (this part isn't applicable for standard 240/120V circuits). A standard 60A circuit COULD use #6 NM in the US following some...

In the link that @jcanoe provided, it talks a bit about that. The NM cables can be used at 90C for temperature corrections, but the circuit can only be rated using the 60C column per NEC 334.80. Another thing to consider is most of the wiring in the attic is attached the ceiling joists and...

I think the loud obvious squealing was something they had seen before. They called me back about 30 minutes later and told me they didn’t have the parts to replace it. It didn’t look like the bumper was removed the first time I dropped it off. The second time when they replaced the fan, there...

I figured I would update people on my case. I just brought mine in yesterday. They confirmed the condenser fan is bad and needs replacement. They did not have the part(s) so I have to go back in a couple weeks to get it fixed. They said it was covered under warranty so there will be no cost...

I have the same issue on my 2021 Model Y and have set up a service appointment in a couple of weeks. My car is just under 1 year old with about 10K miles on it. Service center just sent me an estimate of $112 for diagnostics and HVAC check. Seems like this is a defect of these fans since...

Yea, I was just stating that based on the original post asking about tinting the front windows only to match the factory tint. Most people are referring to the exterior look from what I gather (including myself). Inside the vehicle it’s actually closer than you would think. I can get a picture...

Depending on your car seats, yes it will fit 3 car seats across. I had a Britax Advocate Clicktight rear facing and two Diono Radian 3RXTs forward facing. Like @JLOC said, I used the car seatbelt for the clicktight seat because it's built to use that. My kids were too heavy to use the...

My local tint place has done a ton of Tesla vehicles and recommended 20% tint on my front two windows to best match the rear factory tint. They use XPEL tint. I think they used XR (or maybe even CS since I only was worried about matching the looks more than performance). Here are a few photos...

I had my front side windows done without touching the rear windows and the shop I went to recommended 20% tint with Xpel to match best based on their experience. I did not tint the roof or front windshield so the front seats get more ambient light coming in which makes the front side windows...

The 2017 National Electrical Code (US) does not prohibit the use of NM cable inside conduit in any part of the code regardless of the length. It can be used for 300FT if desired, but that would be a brutal pull with the NM cable sheathing. I cannot speak to the Canadian Electrical Code as it...

I had 2 Diono Radian 3RXTs forward facing (one behind driver and one in the middle) and a Britax Boulevard Clicktight rear-facing behind the passenger seat. I am 6'2" and my wife is 5'8" and we both can fit in the front passenger seat without our legs touching the dash or anything. The seat is...

Let us know how it works out. Are all of yours going to be forward facing or a combination of forward and rear?

Yikes, that sucks. Sorry to see that. I would try to bring it up with the shop if you can, but I always feel like that is a losing battle.

If I were a betting man I would bet that Southwire (manufacturer of Romex) likely makes the exact same cable for CSA certified NMD90 and NEC listed NM-B due to the simplicity of manufacturing massive quantities of these cables. Simply having to print a different lettering on the outer jacket is...

I had to replace a tire already due to a pothole with about 450 miles on the car. I went to my favorite tire shop near me and sat and watched them do everything, including rebalancing all 4 wheels/tires and no wheels were damaged at all. The wheels shouldn't be damaged replacing a tire. There...

@Orbsitron I have three car seats installed in mine (MY) right now. Two Diono Radian 3RXT forward facing and a Britax Boulevard Clicktight rear facing. I can send a photo if you want. When I test drove the Model 3 vs the Y, the Y had significantly more room in the rear seat area than the...

I have noticed when I first hop in my car after preconditioning with the steering wheel on, it's quite hot (almost uncomfortable). Once I drive a little bit, the temperature seems to regulate itself to a comfortable level and stay that way the rest of the drive and I almost always leave it...

mcorf, as Rocky mentioned, it comes down to the ampacity of the selected cable based on the cable type and its effective insulation rating (in terms of *C). Since you are in Ohio, your state has adopted the 2017 version of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). As Rocky mentioned, the wire...

Per the 2017 NEC, the rating of the load would be the load that the EV charging system allows, not the rating of the branch circuit overcurrent protection. Since the wall charger manages the maximum load, to me that would equate to the load management system and would dictate the "maximum...

It won't be an efficient use of the heater to your point. Since a heat pump is basically rejecting the cold temperature to the outside of the car through the refrigerant phase change it will be counteracting some of the heating you are getting in the cabin. So basically your net heat gain will...

As a licensed professional electrical engineer, I agree with what Rocky_H has said and what others have mentioned regarding the code requirements. What is installed there is not meeting code the way it is and should be remedied by one of the options listed previously. If you need specific code...

Thanks for the heads up. It seemed like it might not be completely correct, but figured I would run it by a larger group of owners before I flag it for a service visit. I have some other things that need to be fixed that the SC had to order so I hopefully I can just lump them together. I am...

I didn't see anything posted about this in the search tool, but does anyone else have a gap on the top edge of the camera that is mounted on each side of the car in the front fender? I can see the metal clip and it appears to be that they aren't completed seated into the body panel, but when I...

Not to beat a dead horse, but I picked up a LR AWD yesterday with a VIN 1082XX in Pennsylvania with heated steering wheel and it has the same software everyone else is getting that has the heated wheels (2020.39.110). It seems like almost all of the new cars I have seen are getting the heated...

I picked up a Model Y LR AWD yesterday (1/30) with a VIN of 1082XX in Pennsylvania and it had a heated steering wheel. It also had the same stuff most of the other people have been seeing recently: Dual pane front glass Heated Steering Wheel USB in glovebox Classic (old) shiny console Original...
