Yes.

We have a bunch of charges that will happen with or without the car, so I don't count those or distribute them into the charging cost. But I do need to take a second look at any taxes that are a multiplier from the kWH used. I have a Sense whole house energy monitor, so I take the usage and...

I pay 5.5 cents per kWH, so my effective cost per mile is about 1.4 or 1.5 cents.

I'm suddenly seeing it also, last few days. So either it's part of the .36 software update, or it has to do with the cooler weather. We just crossed over from the car being hot to it being cool/colder (Phoenix, AZ). And we also just got a software update.

It happened to me this week because I swerved around an object in the road, and the car logically thought I was driving off the road. Don't recall it happening when it shouldn't.

I've been a network and server admin for 30+ years, so it's impossible for me to quantify what an end user would face in doing things. Here are the instructions, which are mildly technical, I think: https://github.com/marcone/teslausb I'm using a Pi Zero kit that was $25 on Amazon, with a...

Not possible. You have no chance to survive. Make your time. All your base are belong to Tesla.

I buy my buggy whips from Amazon.

And as I've said before, around my part of the country, they still could be too far apart to just go on a trip without looking. Or may be closed at night. There might be six stations on a 100 mile stretch, all at just two locations. I ran my motorcycle to 252 miles and didn't think it could...

Any place that I've "traveled light" for the past...many years, could be done in electric. Meaning I was not towing our camper into the middle of nowhere. All over the Southwest, which has large expanses of zero services. It's harder to come up with a scenario where it won't work. So as...

Before the motorhome, our camping was done in a 1961 VW Bus, which is the Type 2 in your area. It was the multi-window version. Converted into a camper with a pull-out bed, fridge, etc. And then it became my first car. Yes, my parents gave a teenage boy a van converted into a stabbin' wagon...

When I was a kid our family did lots of camping and road trips. We *did* use paper travel guides and planners to plan out fuel stops. AAA would in fact put one together for us for any unfamiliar trip. A 1974 motorhome pulling a boat gets shockingly bad fuel economy. The idea that you can...

WOW! Where have you driven that you can do this?? Certainly not all over the Southwest, because you would have run out at some point (you can only be lucky so many times).

We will be coming home from an overnight trip at 11% tomorrow. She was already asking about charging on the way. She's logical, but I think electricity is still a slight mystery to her. I've been around it all my life and can calculate any energy equations in my head. Also charging to 100%...

I never do trips without planning gas stops. Maybe that's the difference. Not hard-coded, but at least knowing a general plan. And out here in the West, you could easily find yourself 80 miles from the next fuel, so you can't just assume anything. So nothing changed for me, particularly...

Same here, before buying the Tesla I did a trip from Phoenix to L.A. in my ICE vehicle but using Tesla route planning, getting gas where it told me to charge. There was no change in time. By the time I fuel (and keep in mind, it's pretty irresponsible as well as illegal to leave the pump...

Mall crawler, for the uninitiated. (AKA bro dozer, pavement princess)

+1 for ABRP's ability to fine tune charge levels and locations. The Tesla is decent, ABRP is far more configurable. Oh, and smarter. The Tesla wasted over half an hour for me telling me to go to a charger way off the main road, where traffic was ludicrous and getting back on the highway was a...

I had 2013 and 2015 JKURs, and now a 2020 JTR (Gladiator Rubicon). I haven't put gas in it at all since late April. Guess when my Tesla was delivered? You only get one guess. Also guess what will be traded in on a Cyber Truck the second I can?

I ran my car to 1% on purpose on one trip. Just to be sure it can do it. Now I simply do not sweat 10% at all.

LOL, you can't use Boombox while driving. It's been a thing for a very long time; Jeep owners wave to each other. Not so much the soccer mom Jeeps, but mostly Wranglers and XJs. And now Gladiators, sort of. I'll wave to any built four-wheeler, we're all into the same thing. In fact, it's...

In my area, there are a few people who wave. We are VERY heavy on Teslas per capita, and Jeeps, and motorcycles. I have all three, and now all my vehicles have a wave. My hand is tired.

Yeah, the OP reads like one of the anti-EV people who "know" why they don't work. Trolling or just stupid? Dunno.

Yeah, I thought that, and learned that they give less than a crap about your video. I had several clips carefully edited with explanations of how the car clearly screwed up. They have zero interest. And Musk has basically come out and said so publicly. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero plugged in...

Dredging up an old thread here as it seems appropriate.... Does anyone know if an out of state owner can get the CA sticker? I come to CA very regularly and would like to use the HOV lanes. I don't see any method for an out of stater to get one. Suppose I can order fakes online....lol...

Yesterday I installed the 240v 30a outlet for home charging. The real world results were 26 miles added per hour, more than my expected 22. It went from 200 miles left to 262 in 2:15. The cost was just under 1.3 cents per mile on APS off-peak rate. So an overnight 12 hour charge would just...

After reviewing all of this thread and other discussions on forums and Reddit, and the answers directly from them, it seems like you and I were a little too cynical. People report good results with them. The headlight issue was eventually resolved, and sometimes I think that how a company...

Is there expected to be a price or coverage difference on buying now versus later? I know, you want to make a sale today and not next year, but... We have a 2019 with 17k miles, so plenty of time to make a decision before the OEM bumper to bumper expires. Does the price change if we were to...

The language of the PDF seems to conflict with this. In fact it leaves me wondering what IS covered, as the exclusions feel so broad. I guess "light bulbs" and "lenses" doesn't really mean the same thing as a full headlight assembly, so I may be over-thinking it. We recently bought a 19 M3...

Thanks but there are additional factors in my madness. I actually own all the parts and cables I need because I’ve wired my garages to be working shops with 240 everywhere. And the wife’s parents have a 14-30 plug to charge at their house. So buying the 1430 Tesla adapter and making my own cord...

Long thread, adding my couple of bits. One week into owning a 19 M3 LR, and haven’t had time to build adapters for the garage outlet which is an L6-30 twist lock 30 amp. All of my metal and woodworking tools use these round plugs. So I’ve been charging from a 120v 20a outlet which the car runs...

I’ve had this happen when lane departure sees me drifting over without signaling, such as avoiding a stopped car or another car drifting.

Playback from a phone never resumes automatically. Sometimes you can hit play on the car display, sometimes you have to find the media on the phone again. Crazy. They need to just adopt CarPlay.

How disappointing. Every dash cam in the world saves an unlimited time based on space available. And records audio.

Wait so no matter how much space you have, it will only hold one hour of video? Then delete it? This matters, because on my other vehicle I once needed to go back a couple days for an event, that I didn't realize needed to be saved. (First few days with 2019 M3, so much to learn and haven't...

CarPlay would really change my whole experience. I've had a 2019 M3 dual for a week, and am just super annoyed at how bad the media integration is. Particularly when I use the car for a lot of short hops doing errands and work stuff. I have to fiddle with the phone way too much. There should...
