I wouldn't obsess about these abrupt changes. I seem them from time to time (in both directions). I am guessing they have to do with some recalibration and it is better to look at longer-term trends.

So I saw this: https://www.nfpa.org/News-and-Research/Publications-and-media/Blogs-Landing-Page/NFPA-Today/Blog-Posts/2021/10/01/Residential-Energy-Storage-System-Regulations which suggests a max of 40kwh inside the house. At 13.5kwh, 3 x power wall would just fall over.

One thing mentioning is that if you got nervous in the mountains, it might have been near the peak? When I'm driving in the mountains I often will actually gain percentages when I'm coming down and so my percentage can be frighteningly low on the way up. For this to be effective, however, you...

Sounding an alert and flashing a message when about to drop speed relative to the prevailing traffic speed seems like a good solution (if NHTSA requires the behavior).

This for sure is the most irritating thing about FSD. The speed limit suddenly changes but the traffic does not and suddenly the car slows 20+mph... Is there any way to adjust this (without just being hyper-prepared for the changes)?

Hi! I just found this thread. I am having the same problem regularly on the Long Island Expressway (plenty of data, can stream music, but no traffic data). Can I ask - was this a permanent situation for a given drive or it came and went? For me, it happens regularly on the LIE, but not the whole...

Eyeballing this diagram - maybe 9 or 10 ft? https://electrek.co/2022/07/19/tesla-supercharger-v4-design-revealed/

It's not just the lines, it's that the app will tell you stalls are open and then you arrive to find a line. Had you known you'd have stopped at an earlier charger...

Just curious where you got the old text? Is there somewhere that shows how the FSD sales text evolving over time?

I think the big worry for me is that the "open charger" count becomes inaccurate. If you are planning to charge and you get there and free chargers are blocked and there's actually a wait, that will be a black eye for the experience. Strikes me they should focus on sites with poor economics...

I just did NYC to Stowe last weekend using the pass through middle ski method (the frunk and the under-trunk are both great for boots). It worked great, easy SC en route (although I know different route from you). I will say in the super cold the wh/mi was much higher than I have had (340 vs 250...

Personally I prefer to work out the remaining kWh rather than range. Range is influenced by a lot of factors (although Tessie might take a fixed conversion), but I do think at least some people's loss of range is not about the battery as much as other factors influencing the car's assessment of...

I am wondering how long before I receive a safety score? Has anyone else experienced this where Teslafi shows a safety score but the app does not? I am worried I'll miss out on the next release (had the car for about 3 months and 2k miles).

Agreed - I almost never needed brakes before. Now I need them on every drive.

so true. and it drives along happily until it suddenly decides this is threat level 11 and must brake immediately

They are usually 6 or 7 kW, so if you're around 250-260 Wh/mi and throw in few % for charging efficiency, that is right. These are basically the same as Juicebox or Tesla wall charger, depending on the amperage it's wired for...

This has all been very interesting to hear the opinions! Let me add one subtlety: these two (free) spots are usually taken. Usually by high-end EVs (etrons) and/or plug-in hybrids (Rav4 Prime, etc). This site is 1/2 mile from the "town center" and on the other side of the center (also 1/2 mile...

I found this https://www.orrick.com/en/Insights/2022/08/The-Inflation-Reduction-Act-Incentives-for-Clean-Motor-Vehicles-and-Refueling-Property " Alternative Fuel Refueling Property Credit – Section 30C Section 30C – a currently expired tax credit for alternative fuel refueling property, such...

Wasn't it just re-upped in the bill passed today?

Based on your name are in involved in the new offshore wind power farm going in off of montauk ?

Yeah sentry mode is brutal. If you aren't aware (I wasn't!) there's an internal option not to engage sentry mode at home or work or specific places. Once I switched that off I saved a lot of energy. I only use it when I park in high traffic areas.

To be fair I think the person who wrote the note is an E-tron driver. Not exactly non-luxury...

There's also a lot of L2 chargers at the town hall, but that's a stroll from the village. Those are $1/hr. (So for a desperate non-Tesla there are always those.)

Parking lot by the YMCA. Type in 2 Gingerbread Lane, it's in the back corner. You can find it at chargepoint.com

Indeed I follow all these rules! It's actually a city charger, not associated with any business. I usually stay 1-2 hrs while grabbing a coffee and grocery shopping... But my charging was also "interrupted" the same day I got the note and I wonder if the person unplugged the charger... (Nothing...

So in East Hampton Village in NY there are two L2 chargers where you can park and slowly charge (free) while running errands, get coffee, whatever. The other day, I parked there and got a nasty note on my car (from another EV driver) that as a Tesla owner I should only use the nearby...

Do you mean for everyone? Or just that there's an option?

(Cough cough) thread subject (cough cough)

If your EDD is still a month it could still be a while. Seems like it goes: 4 weeks-> 2weeks->7-10 days->VIN. If you're at 4 weeks I wouldn't assume it's imminent.

Took the new car out for a spin. 4 passengers, AC on, went 105 miles in 33% battery going 65-70 most of the way. Pretty happy with that!

Picked mine up today with the mobile charger

NF464 MSM picked up today in Brooklyn! No panel gap issues. Car is pristine - still had to remove some protective plastic. Good luck to everyone!

If what others have said is true (that the supply of AWD from Tesla direct is dwindling) it might suggest they have stopped 4680-AWD production and shifted to 2170-LR/P where they can ramp without battery constraints (and switch back when the 4680 bottleneck is over)

Well watching the video above it's clear that ramp is the focus so I think theyll do whatever to get scale. For myself, I was a little sad not to get a 4680 car (delivery tomorrow) but not at all sad to get a 2170 Fremont vs one from Austin. I am just excited to get the car!

Why is the battery suspected to be 2170?

PM'd

I think the VIN from the OP is easy enough to read off if you zoom in...

While of course the OP might just be a troll, it seems unlikely the OP switched to MYSR just because for an Oct order it would cost more to do so. Also, if they do start limited deliveries of MYLR from Austin, it would make sense they'd send them to Texas first, just because shipping. But, if...

Just texting the tesla people back, asking what the status is, has it left, is it still en route, etc, basically being a PITA.

My VIN is 464, and I have been tracking it since it was assigned two weeks ago which was before it was built. Waiting for it to arrive NY. I wouldn't worry about it.

(Agreeing) One can even read it off from the submitted EPA filing. The recharge event for the AWD was 76.5 kwh (which includes charging losses) while the recharge event for the LR was 91.1 kwh. Take that ratio and you get 76.5/91.1 * 330=277 mi. Which suggests a usable battery (if the LR is...

Mine was lowercase yesterday, then capital earlier today, then lowercase, now capital. So, I think you are correct.

I have FSD and was thinking about removing, but I saw they've ordered radars probably for future FSD. In the past, they've upgraded the systems for people with purchased FSD and I am holding out hope for that... (I know, just buy it for what it is and I am but still ok to hope!)

@ZenRockGarden is making a reasonable and solid point: if you accelerate for 20 seconds vs 40 to get up to speed and then drive 50 miles, whatever efficiency difference there is in that brief acceleration period (sizeable or no) is not the primary loss of energy, which is the sustained loss...

Yeah well we have the overall efficiency for the AWD from epa and it's basically the same as the usual LR. So it certainly would seem that any changes in range would correspond to proportional changes in battery size.

Maybe not. But there's a benefit to selling only a single design of a car, especially since they've said it's cheaper for them. Regardless, I find it hard to imagine that Austin won't ultimately make 4680 LR. It's the most popular version of their most popular car, after all...

I kind of wonder if this is Osborne-prevention. They need to ramp Austin, and Austin makes 4680 cars. But even if there's a small difference in 2170 vs 4680 cars, you can imagine people holding out. This way they can ramp Austin and *only* when it is going well, they can retool Fremont and shift...

I think he meant for it to be read "without the need of charging (en route), and I will plug it in only at home"

Maybe they will retool the MY line and focus on MX? And then switch back when 4680 production is adequate to produce both in Fremont and Austin...

It's not nothing, but the base M3 Vs LR is +86 miles, 31%.
