    Martian wheels 10.5” wide ?

    I’m thinking about purchasing a set of Martian wheels. I noticed they have the wider 19x10.5 available on “sale”. Are there any downsides to running a slightly wider wheel? I’d like to mount the stock continental 255/45 on there if possible. My stock wheels are being used for snow tire duty so...

    Tire foam, remove or not?

    When I bought my tesla I remembered someone talking to a service advisor about removing the tire foam from his tire because it had come loose and balled up causing an imbalanced wheel. The guy tired to get them to dismount the remaining tires and remove all the foam because he didn’t want this...

    Wall Connector IP addresses

    I recently installed 2 wall connectors and linked them to power share. I was looking over my network and noticed the primary unit has a 192.168.1.x IP address while the second one has a 192.168.92.2 address. I'm wondering if Tesla does this when I configure power sharing? I don't think my DHCP...

    I’m keep going back and forth on adding a tou meter to my evse. Has anyone come to the conclusion that it doesn’t make sense for their use case? One scenario we have is my wife does work stretches of over night shifts. She often times leaves early to run errands before her shift and she could...

    Wall connector install ferrule?

    I’m installing a gen3 wall connector inside my garage with #6 stranded copper. I’m wondering if I should crimp a ferrule around the strands for a better connection? The ferrules I’ve seen appear to be tin? Does that cause problems as the installation specifically calls out using copper wire...

    Almost became a statistic

    I've been charging on 110 with a Costco 12awg extension cord for the past 3 months. The 2 pack 50ft yellow cords that are often on sale. I could never get more than 8a out. If I tried to go higher it would eventually drop down to 6a. The female end was always fairly warm to the touch but so was...

    Why is AP dropping 20mph on freeway

    About a month into ownership here. On the last few trips with AP; going home during rush hour in the HOV lane with a wall of cars to the right while cruising at 75mph the car will randomly drop into the 50s. I can’t figure out why but it brakes pretty hard. I’m sure the pile of cars behind me...

    Wall Connector install for rear entry - question

    Been doing a lot of reading and youtubing. Decided I'm going to DIY the install. I think I've got everything lined up except for the wall connector "gland". I'm going to be coming in from the back of the wall connector. The instructions state to drill out one of the back holes to 1-1/8" in...

    Time of use meter with 2 TWC

    First off - I'm asking this question so I can be prepared and knowledgeable when I speak with the electricians for a quote. I was maybe 70% going to DIY it but now I don't think so. Second - I'm into my second week living the 110 life and its doable during the weekdays but the weekends are...

    New Fremont build, "white noise" while cruising on the highway

    I took delivery of my car yesterday, White on White LR Fremont build. Couple things I noticed: dash was not snapped in (I snapped it in during my inspection), drivers side rear seat wouldn't recline all the way. The tech came out and cycled it back n forth and it eventually would engage in the...

    Purchasing a new car, MY vs RAV4 Prime

    Hi guys, our family is shopping for a new car. We're replacing our aging RX450h and I'm trying to convince the wife to look at the MY and RAV4 Prime. She definitely has some range anxiety going full EV along with some of the false EV fears like fires/shocks/safety etc. I've got a MY test drive...
