Here is a quick update on my now 6 month old Model Y Performance. This graph is generated using Teslafi.com, a logging service that tracks everything the car does. There are thousands of other users so it has data from many other vehicles and allows you to compare. My range is pretty high...

Yes that's the way to go. If you don't want to follow the car's charging stops, just add the superchargers you want manually as waypoints and then tap on 'remove all charging stops'. It will remove all chargers suggested by the car but keep yours. It knows they are superchargers and will...

Anyone in the Carolines the next 10 days? I'll be driving around both states if anyone wants to meet up.

The pizza slices came a few days after I took the photos. I have them installed and after almost 20k miles on them, I'm still loving them. No issues.

True, Germany was late in offering incentives for buying EVs. I think they were 5 years behind the US

I grew up in Europe. My dad worked in France for a few years. I honestly don't really understand why. France wasn't very much about going green or progressive. Germany was very much about saving the environment. I learned about climate change in the 80s in school in Germany. But things much have...

I dropped mine off a few years ago and haven't picked her up since LOL

Yes, sorry I should have added the version in my comment. Important for future reference

We will see what Tesla decides to do. I had 3 months trial with the car with the old version of FSD and it was so bad I didn't even bother doing the subscription. Basic auto steer with TACC worked fine for me. The new version is far better. I have been testing it for over 2000 miles. I feel like...

The little anti-nag device that goes inside the steering wheel works well with the current version of FSD. Zero steering wheel nags. The only exception are situations where the travel lanes might be changed due to construction or something like that. If the car sees barriers/cones it will demand...

Now it's down to $99 a mont for full self driving. That makes buying it outright even less attractive. In fact I would be upset if I had spent $12k on it just 6 months ago when I got my car. That's 10 years of subscription. I assume they will lower the price for buying FSD some time later this...

I have a relatively new Y (Oct 2023) but I have driven 16k miles in it already. Mostly southern states with lots of AC use. No smell whatsoever. I can't speak about older vehicles.

That has been fixed by Tesla via software. The car will run the cabin air fan to dry the filters if needed. I noticed this often when I park my car after driving in it for a while.

I camped at Buc-ee's for the eclipse. Lots of other people had the same idea. It was packed. 2 hours before there all parking spots and the street leading up to it was full. Teslas came and left so some ICE cars tried to take those spots. To be fair, the vast majority realized they are charging...

I'll be at the Ennis Supercharger in Texas tomorrow for the eclipse I figured it's close to the center. I know the weather isn't looking too good. But it's a Buc-ees so at least there is plenty of food and parking.

Sorry for being rather absent. I got more on my plate than I can handle but in a good way Check-ins for 2024-04-03 - Destin - US-98, FL (#1812) (First to check-in) - Orange Beach, AL (#1813) (First to check-in) Check-ins for 2024-04-04 - New Caney, TX (#1814) - Humble, TX (#1815)

That makes sense. So fresh air goes through the large HEPA, then through the 2 small ones inside.

Oh that's what this is! I noticed this and was thinking it's an overactive cabin overheat protection. But that makes perfect sense. It basically blows the air filters dry on it's own.

I tried to find some info but I can't find anything definitive. My Oct 2023 Model Y P has the normal cabin air filters in the center foot well. But it also has the large HEPA filters under the hood. As the HEPA filters used all the time or only when I turn on the 'bioweapon defense mode'...

I don't have the original tires any more so I can only measure the ones I have. That means as much as I could accurately measure them, without having an equally accurate measurement of the original tires, I'm not sure how useful it will be. I did some distance measuring on long drives. When I...

I agree, the obsession with minimizing battery degradation is not necessary. Moderate loss of battery degradation doesn't affect daily driving whatsoever. Even a 10% range loss doesn't make a difference in any but the most extreme situations. What I did find pretty annoying with my old Model S...

I am trying to find it. I guess it wasn't in the manual, but it was either in a thread here on on their official discord channels. The switch is instand but the power ramps up over some time. The same is true when you change the regen amount. I assume the car does it to avoid a sudden change in...

Prof Jeff Dahn recommends 30% for 'airport parking'.

I read that in the manual of the S3XY buttons. I believe the car won't allow a sudden switch between power settings.

If you have the EA S3XY button system, there is a setting where you can drive in Chill mode and when you floor it, it will switch to sport/normal mode. It sounds great, but unfortunately it takes about 3 seconds for the full power to be available. If I need the extra power, a 3 second delay is...

That' correct. The max power is reduced in Chill mode. It is very noticable if you try to pass another car and floor it and the car just doesn't accelerate as you expect it.

what data? I understand that people prefer the less aggressive pedal mapping. At with identical acceleration rate or identical speed, the drive train is not more efficient in Chill mode.

Almost never in Chill. I tested it a little bit and to me it does't make sense. It maps the accelerator pedal differently and limits the max power. I can do the exact same by pressing the accelerator less. The only real difference is what the manual says about the more efficient cabin warming...

Yes those have been there for a long time. I used to love close by and used that station a lot. Always busy. Hated it.

It's mostly online. And honestly I can't tell how many of those die hard anti EV comments on various social media platforms are bots or not. Some seem to appear that way. Either ways, I have driven the entire US over the last 10 years in my 3 Teslas. Over 550k miles total now. Went to many...

There is a helpful video on YouTube about that. A guy buikt his X to sleep in. He talks about some of the pitfalls he experienced

Be careful in Lake City, FL. The site has all kinds of issues. Slow charge rate at different stalls even when not shared. But even worse, I went to get a sandwich and it stopped charging out if the blue. I tried starting again from the app without success. When I came back 10 min later I was...

Check-ins for 2024-03-14 - Cape Canaveral, FL (#1808) - Lakeland - Lakeland Highlands Rd, FL (#1809) Cleared Florida. Probably only for a few days until some.new station opens.

I'll turn on my life360

I have a 2023 Y P. For work I always have a lot of equipment with me. As a result, the car sits too low. The Performance is already lowered which makes it worse. The car handles fine, there is no rubbing even when I go through dips where the suspension is compressed. I don't have more weight...

If it's as good as Tesla's automatic wipers, we should be fine LOL

I'm in Florida until the end of the month if anyone is interested in meeting up

yeah there is still some room. About the width of a finger.

I switched to a new account on TeslaFi and now it's not showing my old stats in the leaderboard any more. I had way over 1000 but oh well. Not that it matters. TeslaFi is extremely useful to me. It should come with every Tesla as a free trial.

I have noticed the same thing. It doesn't seem to be consistent. I believe when you entered the car with the phone key and then turn it off in the app, it will not immediately disable and leave you unable to drive. I believe only once you take the phone with you and park the car, it will not...

The tires make a noticeable difference. It's a well known effect. If you go to Tesla's configurator you can see a difference in range 21 inch wheels 279 miles (Performance) 20 inch wheels 293 miles 19 inch wheels 310 miles (with aero covers) Extrapolating, he 18 inch wheels will give you...

IMHO the vehicle should not matter.

Yeah the entire stretch on I10 is only V2 stations

I was sent a survey by Tesla recently and the wipers were actually an item on the list of things you could pick about what you like least about your Tesla. LOL I ended up picking the UI. Having a touch screen is great but not a Tesla invention even in a vehicle. The UI design and functionality...

Just stopped by, still no power
