The key is that Tesla didn't announce what was going on with Highland. There is a big difference between rumors and an announcement by the vendor. There are already rumors about the iPhone 16 (nine months before expected announcement), for example. But until the specific features are...

Back in the 1980's there was an entrepreneur named Adam Osborne. He released a portable computer called the Osborne 1. It was large and heavy, but it was the only game in town and had decent sales. The Osborne started talking about more advanced computers that were still six months to a year...

Good location. Just off Interstate 90 coming into or going out of the city. Right behind a GetGo, so it will be a good place for bathroom and snacks. It nicely fills in the gap between the Sheffield and Willowick superchargers.

My understanding is that pressing the Bio button causes the car to use positive cabin pressure. That is, it will pull enough air through the HEPA filter that there will be no "leaking" of outside air into the cabin through door and window seals. This should keep out things like smoke, diesel...

From the Q3 Shareholders deck (According to Teslarati) - “For very heavy vehicles, a high voltage powertrain architecture brings notable cost savings, which is why Cybertruck will adopt an 800-volt architecture.” But no word on any of the other models.

A couple of thoughts. First, there's always the "do nothing" solution - that is, charge your car off the existing 110v circuit. Suppose your commute to work is 30 miles (15 miles each way). A 110v charge will give you 4 to 5 miles of range for each hour it is plugged in. From 7:00pm to...

Along with the new Supercharger in New Philadelphia the Akron charger will plug the hole on I-77 between Cambridge and Cleveland. Between North Carolina and Cleveland it looks like there will be a Supercharger every 50 miles.

Excellent design for those of us who pull trailers.

I'm just wondering about emergency evacuations (hurricanes, etc.). Normally, charging slows down as the battery SOC increases. Is this because of temperature issues or is it to protect the battery? The reason I'm asking is that in case of emergency evacuations could Tesla do an emergency...

Stopped at both the Eastbound and Westbound locations. Eastbound all stalls were working (as far as I could tell - certainly mine was). Westbound the map said only 2 stalls were available, although there was no way to tell which ones were working and which ones were not. The stall I used was...

Even more important, the Supercharging location is right across the side street from a McDonalds (since I suspect there isn't going to be much in the way of food at the SureStay Hotel). Walk across the main road and there is a Wendy's. There is also a Denny's and Taco Bell within easy walking...

This charger and the one planned for Seville plug an important gap on I-71 between Columbus and Cleveland. I occasionally pull trailers with my Model Y and I have to keep my speed very low because of the distance between my house and the Mt Gilead charger. These new chargers will take the...

The short answer is that yes, you can. When I took delivery of my MPLR, my electrician was backed up (and just left on vacation). So for a month 15A was all I had. I could get about 60 miles of range on an overnight charge, and I would rarely drive more than 60 miles in each day. No...

Winter weather in Cleveland - Good news, they use so much salt that the roads are usually in really good shape. Bad news - they use so much salt that my blue Model Y frequently looks like a white Model Y. Because of this, I find I may have to wash the car twice a week. I use a touchless car...

That doesn't quite match up with my experience. This Tuesday I put on 200 miles at 19 degrees F. At an average speed of 70 mph I was using 330 Wh/mi, which would work out to about a 220 mile range (assuming using 70kWH of power). What I did find is that if I had plenty of range and my...

On a recent trip at -4 F I had the car (2021 Model Y LR) precondition the battery and heat the car before leaving while still plugged in at home. The first leg had terrible "mileage" (437 Wh/mile). After two hours of driving I reached the Supercharger in Irwin, PA with 17% SOC. No problem...

I've been driving a Model Y for about 30,000 miles and have had a CCS adapter for the last six months. Only once in all that time did have I had a problem with a Tesla Supercharger. Interestingly, that was last week. The car had trouble connecting to a particular plug, so I moved to a...

The Ford Charging Station Pro clocks in at $1,310. Then there's the cost of having an electrician require the house so it can automatically switch between the grid and the Ford (probably a couple thousand). V2H is no doubt going to be expensive, but possibly cheaper than a generator. V2G is...

This is a question for those who are familiar with the electrical innards of Teslas. How much of a change would it be for Teslas to support Vehicle To Grid (V2G) or Vehicle to Home (V2H). Is it a matter of "just change a couple of things on board XQ9 and modify the software" or is it "rip out...

If you can get your hands on a CCS adapter (there seems to have been a few threads about that), there is a ChargePoint CCS charging station in Wooster in public parking on Buckeye st. It's not fast (50kW), but it works.

That would depend on whether or not the final law makes it a "refundable" tax credit. If you get a refundable tax credit, and the credit exceeds your tax liability, then you get cash from the Federal Government to cover the difference. For example, suppose you owed taxes of $2,000 for 2022...

One thing to consider is that sometimes a CCS charging station is in a somewhat better location in the same town as an SC. For example, in Cranberry, PA (just off the Turnpike) the Tesla SC is behind a Residence Inn, which means you have to go inside the hotel to use the bathroom, and there are...

My guess as to why Tesla has not released the adapted in the US is concern about support. There are so many different charging networks in the US (Electrify America, Shell, ChargePoint, etc.) When Telsa releases the adapter here there will be a flood of Teslas plugging into them. And then...

More on my CCS-1 saga. Ordered from Harumio on May 20. Got an email on May 27 promising delivery by June 1. Then a text message from DHL moving setting the delivery date to June 2. So, of course, it came today (May 30). Can't complain about that. My Tesla is a Model Y Long Range, delivered...

Ordered my CCS-1 adapter from Harumio (no Tesla account information needed) on May 20, got a shipment notice on May 27 for delivery on June 1. So far a painless experience.

Oddly, with 2021.44.30.7 I am seeing less phantom braking (at least with Autosteer). On a street near my house there are some small rises that used to cause the car to slow down. Since the last update those slowdowns have stopped.

Back in my pilot days, the rule for instrument flights was have enough fuel to get to your primary destination airport, then to your alternate, and 45 minutes beyond. That served me well (especially for those couple of times when the primary was socked in). I use the same kind of thinking with...

Outstanding. That will help plug the hole along I-75 heading north to Toledo.

Alas, when you are using the navigation system to plan the trip it does not take into account the actual power consumption (because when you plan the trip it doesn’t know the load, how you’ll drive, etc). Which also means that as you drive the navigation does not recalculate your range based on...

You want to focus on energy consumption per mile. In a "clean" condition, my MYLR uses about 270 kWh/mile (averaging 75 mph). With 72,500kWh useable battery, that works out to a range of about 265 miles. (My bladder can't last that long, so it hasn't been a problem). I had occasion in June...

2021 MYLR, 6,100 miles, radarless, software 2021.4.21.3 I’ve never had phantom braking using Autopilot on an Interstate highway (just lucky, I guess), but i have had it happen while trekking on two lane back roads. I’ll be cruising at 40mph, and something causes the car to slow down to about...

What you should be tracking is Watt hours per mile. (At the bottom of the driving display if you swipe right you will see your watt hours per mile for the current trip, since last charge, as well as Trip A and Trip B). I've had my Model Y LR for two months (and 5,600 miles - I love driving...

Oops, that should read "somewhat less sporty handling compared to the Model 3"

Also got the Model Y over the 3. Like many others here it was the extra room and towing capacity that made the decision. If you put three adults in the second row, the extra width increases the comfort. Putting the seats down gives a very large amount of interior storage space. When I...

The 6x12 was an enclosed cargo trailer. I believe the key to the numbers was keeping the speed at 55 mph.

2021 Model Y with the factory towing option, towing a moderately loaded 6x12 U-Haul trailer for a total of 364 miles. Relatively flat terrain (Northeastern Ohio), warm temps outside (about 80 degrees). Drove a constant 55 mph, almost entirely Interstate driving. Car consumed 157 kWh, for an...
