Eh? You bet, whatever works you.

😆

I was probably trying to shorten my response too much and be too generic with my numbers. My general idea is more stops at lower SoC than fewer stops for higher charges. For my most travelled route I hit 3 chargers for around 10 mins each. It's possible that I leave home with 100% and only hit...

The reason I don't charge to 100% is not that I care about saving the battery, it is about saving time at superchargers. For my trips my first charger stop is always about 1.75 hrs from our house. If I charge to 100% then I will arrive there at a much higher SoC than if I left the house at 60%...

I've done it twice since we bought the vehicles (MYLR and MYP in fall of 2022). Initially when I thought it would be good for a long trip, then realized that it was not required due to SC network. I generally leave mine at 50%-60% and my wife's at 80% (for her peace of mind).

A few thousand is nothing after a couple of years. You did way better than those dummies (me) who bought at the peak in the fall of 2022 lol.

Congrats! Love the bow.

I believe there two settings: 1. Auto-cancel after 3 signals/flashes (default setting I believe?) 2. Auto-cancel after lane has been changed (keeps flashing until it detects you have changed lanes) This is for when the stalk is pushed to the detente. If you push it past the detente then it...

Maybe, we'll see how it goes 😅

Yeesh, even bigger would be bad for me haha. I'm going to try taking off mirror this weekend. Glad you found something that works for you.

I have a general dislike for rearview mirrors. For whatever reason (tall guy/long torso) the mirror really hampers my forward view to the right. I am constantly ducking around the mirror to see in that direction (especially at narrow 4-way stops). My perfect solution would be a rear-mount...

Got lazy and kept them on all year for another vehicle. Not a good plan.

They will wear out much faster in the summer, plus a hit to your efficiency. Ask me how I know ;)

I'm still seeing it under the Redeem-> Upgrades tab; 9,500 credits

Continental Viking 7s (P235/55R18 MYLR 18") Michelin X-Ice (255/45R19 on MYP 19")

At the rate I am going my winter set will last 4 seasons. ~25,000km per year, not sure of the summer/winter split. More of a slow poke driver though.

It's very odd, both chargers have minimal use when I am routing there (both usually at 50% or less capacity). The charger that I am being routed to (150 kW) takes me off the highway and 5 to 10 minutes into a city. The other one (which is the one I go to, 250 kW) is on the highway access road...

Yeah, I definitely mess around the navigation during the trip. For some reason the navigation tries to send me to a slower supercharger (150kW vs 250kW) which is further out of the way and I have to override manually. I make this trip fairly often and can't seem to figure out why the computer...

If you put in your final destination the navigation should automatically route you there, not need to tap on anything. If the trip is long and requires multiple stops then those additional stops will appear on the route. The computer will also let you know when you have received enough charge...

edit* Deleted, looking for cover, not replacement.

1. Just to confirm, the USB type on the car are USB Type C, which is different from the older Type A: 2. To add to the above, (if I recall correctly) the free version of Spotify does not work on the Tesla as a direct log-in, only a paid-for account works. We have a family spotify account (5...

I do not rely on the CCS/Chademo network (for now) when travelling either and only use superchargers during trips. The several CCS/Chad that I came across were non-functional at the time (I use plugshare quite a bit as well). The reviews are helpful but I don't rely on them as I try to drive...

*Edit, sorry, not really helpful but I'm stuck in a boring meeting. Rent a small steam cleaner?

So if you average 230 km by using up 55% of the battery (80% -> 25%), 100% battery usage with the same driving efficiency achieves 418km. That meets your 400km+ target no?

Yeesh...not compliant for several reasons. You can also take the WC with you if it is hardwired, and house will still be EV ready.

Interesting, and not in a good way. If the ads got more intrusive I would struggle to keep the car as well. However at this point there is no other EV I would replace it with due to the lack of a reliable/problem free charging network, and there is no way I am going back to ICE.

Welcome, need pics! That is interesting, I never thought of towing the Tesla behind an RV but yes, I suppose that is not currently possible. Is there a dolly-type system that is available? That is too bad about the issues, hopefully they can sort it out quickly. The dried fluid on the floor is...

There are quiet a few other variables that need to be controlled to come up with anything statistically significant.

When you mean status do you mean how many are currently in use at that location? If so then tap on the red balloon/bubble beside the charger spot in question. A new window will appear with stall availability/charge fees, etc.

I would definitely try a few others, specifically some that have installed the gen 3. The gen3 doesn't need to be connected to your home WiFi to operate. It creates its own WiFi network that you connect to with your phone to commission it. Set it once and done. Good luck !

No worries, these forums are a great place to get some information. Not sure which vehicle you have but I would suggest heading over to get Model Y charging subforum and post your question there. Lots of experienced people there can give better explanations. Specifically RockyH and JCanoe. I...

Errr...what? Not sure if I missed something but this statement from the electrician doesn't make sense. The gen 2 connector went up to 80A (iirc). There should be no reason the gen 3 connector could not pass inspection. Even if you only had 100A service you could set the wall connector to...

So glad this opened up. Hit 220kW with minimal preheating.

Yep, still shows up for me

A small sample size here but I have never seem to have issues with my android. My wife/daughter with their iPhones are another story lol.

Good to rule that out. I just checked mine and I am withing a degree or two (C). Maybe monitor for another week and create a service ticket if no change?

Have a look at some of the research if you have time. It's fascinating to see why a passenger is different from a cell phone conversation.

Interesting; I have not noticed that in my vehicle. How confident are you on the accuracy of your gauge?

I should automatically route you to it and pre-warm the batteries for fast charging. You can also tap on the supercharger icon on the screen (red drop-like icon) and it will show you how many chargers are open and what speed the chargers are (72 kW, 150 kW, or 250 kW).

Not a fan of grammar?

Dang, that is really cool, thanks for sharing link. *Edit: forget it, they didn't get the front end right ;)

Thanks for the updates.

Coming down to the area this weekend; fingers crossed this is up by then otherwise I will be checking out the one in Enoch Park.

Glad she is happy with her car, we both love ours. Dumb question; why would you consider upgrading hers if you have a '22 plaid? Somewhat generalizing but my wife doesn't care about acceleration and keeps her LR in chill mode all the time. Resale is hot in TO right now? It's terrible in...

I bought a yoke for my Y and the description said it would fit both a 3 and a Y, so maybe it would work? All the install videos I watched on YouTube had the same wiring harnesses for the 3 and Y. This was for 2021+ model year though, you would have to confirm for a 2018. Swapping the air bag...

I don't find the in-car mic very good so I use my phone on speaker. As to why I hold the phone as you describe; when I hold it to my ear the side of my face often hits the hangup button.

Mine did not. 2022 MYP.

They will match nicely with my grill.

Yes, this exactly. I was brave (dumb?) enough to run it down to 3% on a trip this weekend.

I gathered as much, it's all good. Somehow I even question if Elon is in charge of setting prices. He probably doesn't care and has other things on his mind.
