    Tesla Autopilot Full Self Driving Month Trial April 2024. Pretty Good!

    Received my free 1 month trial today of Tesla FSD 12.3.2.1 on my 2023 MX LR with AP HW4. I currently have EAP but previously had a 3 month trial of an older spec FSD. Tried it local and highway so far with a bunch of trips today in the dry and rain. IMHO. Its like my 15-16yo kid driving. Pretty...

    New EPA calculated range for 2024. LR is now 335 miles

    https://electrek.co/2024/01/05/tesla-adjusts-ranges-across-lineup-new-epa-rule/ New EPA calculations. All Teslas range is less despite no change to hardware or battery. So my recent 2023 MX LR really has 335 mile, not 348 mile range

    2019 Aftermarket dashcam for AP1 Model X

    After a recent unwitnessed small parking lot mishap, I now want to get a dash cam. Some old threads point to Topfit for AP1 MX but that has since sold out. Is my only solution a custom install with something like Blackvue? If so, will a single device catch things like parking lot dings to the...

    I purchased my HPWC almost 3.5 years ago for my old Model S. I was able to charge my Model S at 63 mi/hr at 80amps Apparently I can only charge my new Model X at 72amps max. To 72 A or not to 72 A? How fast is the maximum I can charge my Model X theoretically? 51 mi/hr? Why can't the Model X...

    We visit our grandparents often in Indy, but they only have a standard 110v outlet at their townhouse garage. We routinely charge there at 4mi/h. We use the local Tesla mall charger to top off, but this is a small hassle. Their garage is detached and I don't think their breaker is in the...

    Freezing temps + snow packed wheel well = stopped Tesla

    Our snow tired Tesla has had some snow adversity this winter, but has for the most part done better than any snow tired RWD car I've driven. Ability to raise suspension height for snow drifts, heavy weight over the rear tires, and good traction control I think have helped. However, a few days...
