    Price Drops: Do you think Tesla should offer FSD for Q4 2022 buyers?

    Need to correct this: "If you bought in 2021 and paid / received in 4q 2022 then you got screwed out of $13000 . I doubt Tesla is going to do anything as it's all about the Benjamins now. They have the brand they want and a few disgruntled tesla owners won't change that.

    I just tried ordering the Pirelli Sottozero 3 with some ~$200 a piece rims from Discount Tire and the price came out to be $2479 not including tax. The link above for TPMS sensors does not work. The TPMS sensors from Tesla are $95 a piece. This means my best option is to buy the Tesla Gemini...

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    Yes this is exactly what I have been doing and it does a great job.

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    Last night the temp was 19 and the energy app did a great job in predicting battery percentage. Just like with ice vehicles normally focus is on how much gas is left not how many miles are left. I find the same to be true with my MY. I focus on battery charge when planning the trips. The...

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    Yep that sounds reasonable. It seems like they should have another setting in the app. Charge up to 50% right away and then charge to desired limit at the time of departure.

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    You guys are making me think I should just take my Yukon XL and guzzle gas on the -20F days.

    No options for plugging in at my location. West St Paul Dome and Health east sports center. I am only there for about 1.5 to 2 hrs.

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    In Plug Share there is an option that says to list public stations. There isn't one that says hide private ones. So I'm not really sure what that means. They show up with the "show public stations" set to on. Is there a better app that shows all the ccs/sae stations that are public?

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    Interesting. My commute today with the temp at 31F took 82%. Driving the speed limit helps a lot. My commute is Rochester to either West St. Paul or Woodbury and back. According to the plugshare app there are a couple of CCS/SAE at the Volkswagon and Hundai Dealerships in InverGrove...

    Stress on the high or low side of charge range

    Greetings, My MYLR 7seater from Freemont was built on Aug 22 2022. I've been driving it since mid Sept. My daily drive can consume around 84% of my charge. That is to and from my destination and back into my garage. Should I charge to 92% and be left with 8% when I get home or should I charge...

    48 Amp Charging Setup Question

    Aluminum wire for Tesla wall connector

    Great explanations here. I used 6/3 MC at it was $5.5 a foot vs 4/3 NMB for $11 a foot for a 60amp breaker install. My run was 50 feet so it made a big difference in price. I wanted to get the fastest charge possible knowing that there was going to come a time where an unexpected trip was...

    48 Amp Charging Setup Question

    This is interesting. My run was 50ft, 4/3 NMB was $11/foot, 6/3 MC was $5.5/foot That's a lot of money to overcome. I was getting a charge of about 44miles per hour at 48amps. 11cents/kw The Tesla wall charger cable was just as warm as my 6/3 MC.

    Temperature at breaker

    I looked up my receipt from Graybar electric and my breaker is a Square D - QO260CP QO 60 Amp Two-Pole Circuit Breaker made by Schneider Electric also known as QO A google search and some review reading leads me to believe it's a high quality breaker so I can sleep a little better at night.

    48 Amp Charging Setup Question

    You can use 6/3 MC which is rated for 75Amps I believe. I had an electrician install it to my gen3 charger using a 60amp breaker in my panel. If I get another EV I plan to power share with another gen 3 charger off this same 60amp breaker (my panel is full). To do this I need to install a...

    Is your signature out of date? I recently picked up my MYLR7 from Maplewood and it was a pleasant experience. They fixed all the minor issues I had. Tomorrow they are doing a driveway service at my home to fix the passenger side visor light that never worked.

    No I don't. My MYLR7 just came out of the Fremont factory as did many other Y7s. I think they are cranking out the Y7s from Fremont right now and the Y5s from Austin.

    Tesla Requires at least 60 days paid insurance to take delivery??

    So I just ran into this as I'm guessing many have. Might not be state dependent. I have a VIN and my pickup date is Sept 9th and my insurance expires on Sept 29th. I called my insurance and they said I couldn't get a new policy for the tesla until I actually have it, even though they...

    Makes sense, I would probably do the same if my energy company provided a rebate, which they don't :(. That being said I hard wired in the tesla wall charger with a 60amp circuit instead of the 50amp that would support the 14-50. If I get a second electric car I can get another Tesla Wall...

    I think there is some randomness too it. I only entered my 10 day EDD window once before a push out. I got my VIN a week before my second 10 day EDD window. Others have posted that they enterd their EDD many times only to get pushed out as many.
