What I watch a lot of shows that feature Australia from House Hunters International to other stuff I see a lot of Solar. Is there something different about that implies getting a 240 volt charger in your garage is more difficult compared to the US. I understand longer travels and the...

It's one thing to be a CEO in a startup running fast and breaking rules. It's another thing to be a CEO in a more established mature company where you are at the top and the government might rein you in to maintain competition. Many CEOs do not know how to handle that transition. Elon appears...

Good news to establish a standard and allow access to the Tesla network. This takes away one of the big reasons to stay with Tesla and allowing myself at least to consider competitor. I really want to see some more luxury at the MYLR price point.

I just deleted the Tessie app and my Tesla app still works fine. I decided to try out TeslaFi for its reporting capabilities. I haven't decided yet whether to subscribe or not but I do like all the trip reporting. One question I have and I have no way to know how to deal with this is the...

So I have a 100 Amp sub panel in my garage. I plan to install a 60 amp circuit and hardwire a EVSE chargepoint charger in the diagonal opposite corner of the garage near the door. The run is about 45 feet and travels along the ceiling joists/rafters. It requires a number of turns around...

Yea same here it's a $16K pain point for me when you include the tax rebate.

I installed one which I ordered from Taptes for the $500 price last October. Install was relatively easy. The front window shades are strong enough to hold it up. There are some youtube videos that show installation but I would tell you that the front clips that install into the headliner are...

Trying to fake the MYP!

I installed These PPFs first and then the decals. my Car was ceramic coated. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Q6L3QX5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I remember back in the 80s getting pulled over for not having a front plate on my VW Scirocco. I subsequently put one back on and had to find a cop to sign off and the cop made the comment that the car was too small to find a place to mount the plate. IE He even realized it was a stupid reason...

These days the passenger is not necessarily enjoying the scenery. My wife goes crazy trying to put on lipstick or type on her phone as go down a less than perfect road. I would say she is surfing 90% of the time compared to the old days and she does complain about the difference compared to...

I just told him we sold the car!

It's not the best job but here is how it looks cut at the rails:

The downside of the Tuxmat mats from personal experience is they prevent the underseat drawers from sliding. I ordered them early and my Y got delayed so I was past the return window. I ended up cutting off the mats straight across at the seat rails. Everything works great.

There is a difference if you ordered a year ago at lower prices. As well as orders placed now will mostly likely happen after January. It's really more of a question of those people financing a significant amount at the latest prices that might rethink it. What would be nice is if Tesla had an...

Tesla - Number one with robberies?

In my garage the charger is by the garage door so I can charge inside and outside as a result I never back in.

One thing to consider on some of these mats (if its important to you) is whether they work with underseat drawers. My Tuxmat front maps did not and I had to do a little surgery.

Unfortunately I did put a clip in in just recently just in case so I can't give you a before picture but here is the current view:

The other problem with Powerwalls is code requirements. In our area they have to be minimum 6 feet away from doors and windows. If they are in a garage they require a smoke detector or possibly a sprinkler system. On our house the there are very few places that are 6 feet away for doors and...

Good to know some of the other mats have the same problem. Tesmanian was my second choice and I in fact have them for the trunk/frunk.

I went with the Tux Mats. The clips did not bother me I really did not need to even install them. In fact I did not for about a month after I had them. In California we don't get snow or even a lot of rain but I just like that it keeps all the dirt/leaves/hair/... in a confined space. My...

I would suggest Tesla is spending lots of money on new factories and battery research and charging stations. They know there is a lot of coming competition as all the legacy guys as well as new competition will be jumping in the game in the next couple of years. They need to do everything they...

I noticed they have reduced their price to $499 to be competitive with the competition. Good for them!

So on this. We are planning on 4 week vacation soon where we will be gone and the car will just sit in the garage. Is it ok to leave it unplugged for that length of time? How much trickle drain is there?

You are nuking the market for Vegan's and other socially conscious people which maybe a larger percentage of the EV population than the average population. I am not one of them but respect their opinions.

So I am new to this game. I test drove a Model Y last year and placed an order. As the wait progressed I looked at all the other vehicles a lot. My hatred of Elon almost got me to cancel the order and consider an Ioniq as I do like the exterior looks of it more. Now I have the Model Y and I...

I got my retractable sunshade from Taptes last Friday and installed it. It took 3 week from Order to delivery. Package dimensions 56 x 45 x 4 and 16.1 lbs.and was delivered by FedEx. It took about a half hour to install. I should have video'd the installation but I got a little too excited...

I got a shipping notice and the package is being delivered by Fedex and arriving tomorrow Oct 14. Package dimensions 56 x 45 x 4 and 16.1 lbs.

Well it supposedly was in stock and ready to ship for a while. Perhaps they committed their available inventory and changed it to say out of stock. I will bug them again this week and see if they are making up things about imminent shipping.

I don't have a thermal reader but I can tell you it made a difference!

A few weeks ago. Grace just responded to me on Wednesday and said it should ship in 3-4 days. Perhaps they hired a truck to drive around the country. I am in the bay area how about you?

Any more updates? I placed an order and they haven't been responding to my emails.

Got it - Mobile connector case. As I said in my case I wanted to put a tissue box and other stuff under each seat so I wanted the drawer. I hope Tuxmat tweaks their mats to accommodate this at some point.

What’s a cable carrier? In my case I put low profile tissue boxes in the drawers for easy access To both passengers.

I bought a set and like everything about them but one thing. They prevent fitting the under seat drawers. I was past my return date since Tesla delayed me once I got in the two week window. I decided to cut the part of the mat that is right against the seat rails straight across. The drawers...

While this is what I believe - this is what it says: If you entered into a written binding contract to purchase a new qualifying electric vehicle before August 16, 2022, but do not take possession of the vehicle until on or after August 16, 2022, (for example, because the vehicle has not been...

It does seem to read that way. With delivery times getting much better it’s a possible scenario.

I wished! What it says is if the car was ordered before Aug 16 and received after Aug 16 the rules before the Inflation Reduction Act still Apply with the additional restriction of US manufacturing requirement. The 200K requirement Is one of those previous rules. Cars manufactured abroad are...

I wonder where it ships from within the US. LA / SF / …. It might be worth a drive if I could pick it up.

Taptes says they are in stock, accepting orders, and ready to ship. Anybody get any shipping notifications or actually receive it?

Almost:

I went with Tuxmat because the coverage is so much higher on all sides. The problem with them is more around the seat side. I was not able to insert my insert my underseat drawers. As a result I hacked the mats right at the seat to make the trays fit. If I was not passed the return window I...

If they had offered a beige interior I would have on it in a millisecond but that white is too loud for me.

Went in for service to Sunnyvale yesterday to fix my delivery issues: Sticky glue residue on rear of rear seat headrest Knick on wood dash on left side Rear headliner was not tucked in properly Seat stitching was popped out on rear of front passenger seat Also installed Homelink They...

The website doesn't even let you place orders now. They don't even have a notify me link.

That's not a helpful answer! I used Sirius to listen to a number of news channels as well and do miss them when driving.

I am planning on 70 on the windshield and 50 sides and back.

Sold our Ford Cmax to Carvana in March in anticipation of the MYLR which kept getting delayed. Finally got it last week. I also figured used car prices would start to drop. It was fast and easy. When they came I signed a couple of things and they transferred the money to me instantly.
