I was only here for the page count, so if that goes away, I have no more interest. 😂

But it's not dangerous in other states...😉

I would have kidnapped him and interrogated him. Nah just kidding. Just getting us closer to 200...😂

Anxiously waiting. And adding to the post count just because...🤓

Every time I stress about rubbing on something, one of you post up a configuration that has the tire so close to the upright. I'm currently on 275/30R20 S007s. I purchased a set of Potenza Sports of the same size and they appear wider. While rotating my current tires, I set them down side by...

So we are certain it's the BMS button? I just couldn't find anything on Google to even suggest this so I didn't associate the two. On a side note, sound like there are a lot of brave souls that just like to push buttons without knowing what it does....🤣

I was saying why bury the one time charge option. That seems benign so I don't think that's the function of this button.

I did run into some reference to BMS calibration or reset when searching this. Perhaps it's the same thing? I didn't see an option for BMS calibration but I want really looking for it when I was in the service menu. Thanks for the input. Perhaps someone will figure this out at some point...

That doesn't make sense to me. Why would they bury such an option in the service menu? And the label on this button doesn't match what you describe.

Was poking around on the service menu tonight. Anyone know what this is for? I couldn't find any reference to it anywhere. I didn't dare press it...

No need to be a drama queen. Just post up a citation that actually agrees with what you're saying. I've already posted 2 to support my argument. There's plenty more. No need to waste your breath. Plenty of smart people have already studied this topic extensively.

Not trying to detail this thread so I'll just say this. The equation separates the components of friction, but in practice, they are combined. Much like rotational and translational motion of a wheel. This isn't a situation like ignoring relativistic physics and non-relativistic velocities...I...

I literally posted an article that describes the nonlinear relationship between the amount of grip and weight on tires. It's actually not complicated than that as slip speed (angle) and temperature are additional variables and these vary by tire. See page 11...

Before I got my M3P, I was probably doing for a long range as my primary goal was not paying $6/gallon for gas. Now that I have it, I doubt I can ever live with the LR. 😁

"Then there is the vertical load on the tire, which is crucial to understand, but also the most misunderstood element of tire traction. Traction increases as the vertical load on the tire increases. But it is very important to understand that the relationship between vertical load and traction...

If that's the requirement, we can hit that in a couple hours....😉

I don't know who you're responding to and if there is any specific context, but I'm running 275's all around on 20x9.5 inch wheels.

This could be a really cruel April Fool's joke...😅

It was simply a clarification as your post could be read as trying to keep an engine around torque peak. But keeping an engine around peak HP is what nets the fastest acceleration.

Correct. I had to kind of prove it to myself again but I was between meetings when I posted this and the next one was about to start. Didn't want to misspeak.

Typically, most engines have peak HP somewhere in the meat of the torque curve, but usually after the torque peak. But it's actually keeping HP as high as possible gives you the most torque at the wheels. HP essentially tells you where the given torque in an engine will provide the greatest...

Depends on the wording of the policy. Add on upgrades are still a relatively new thing. Not sure any insurance company is addressing it specifically through underwriting or in the policy language. Might be a sort of grey area with some policies. But barring any language in the policy that...

Only if they specifically ask a question on the application that applies. If you lie about it, then they can rescind the policy if it materially affects the premium. If this happens after a claim occurs, the claim gets denied for coverage. Chances are they won't ask. If they do, shop...

I was kind of browsing some of the EV tires yesterday. Based on what I saw, I'm thinking the available sizes are likely to be sizes OEs are using on current EVs. I noticed 275/30R20s are available in the PZero Elects which could be due to the upcoming M3P replacement. Just checked the 19 inch...

You could install a small subpanel next to the wall connector and use a generator interlock like this...

It does. Not it wasn't as clear as I'd hoped. My second graph was more clear. The context of the discussion was drop off in power above certain speeds. I was ultimately commenting on how power at any given speed relates to the amount of torque at that given speed. The implication is that more...

Pretty much my life. 🤓 Except I did this at home and didn't have the screen real estate I get on my 4K monitors.

To be clear, it wasn't for a projection on what the new M3 Ludicrous/Plaid/Performance will bring. It was merely to illustrate the point I was making earlier.

See the graphs below. I took the M3P line from the graph on the previous page and eyeballed the values. I created data to simulate the M3P power if there was a flat power curve once it reached peak. I am assuming it reaches peak power sooner as I removed the effects of back-EMF. The torque...

My post was to explain power and torque. Outside factors like aero are ignored as it doesn't change the output of an engine or motor. You're generally a smart guy. I don't think you understood what I was trying to say...🤷

Actually, it's exactly how it works. Seriously. Try the math.

If you analyze HP by vehicle speed, you can make a direct comparison. But even if you just took a qualitative look and saw the overall HP is higher after a certain speed, you would easily know it's putting down more torque at those speeds. Look at the graph below. The HP output at Max...

In order to see the differences more clearly, you would need to overlay the torque graphs with the same account on both axes. Or graph both HP curves against vehicle speed. The ICE vehicle will kind of look like a saw blade but peaks would remain consistent. An ICE vehicle with a CVT would...

I would definitely look into how it's currently run. Mine had several circuits (including a dryer circuit) running through an underground conduit. I pulled all the wires out and ran 3 ga THHN and installed a 100A subpanel and distributed all the garage wiring from there. I was thankful the...

Can you describe what you mean by not easily accessible? Do you know what size conduit is running underground? Any chance your laundry is in the garage?

He was taking about extended shank lug nuts. They allow you to keep the factory studs as the lug nuts have an extension passed the seat. They generally don't work on aftermarket wheels as the OE wheels have larger diameter lug holes than most aftermarket wheels which does the extension to fit...

This a huge longshot. But the warranty should start when the car was sold as new. And you can deduct for mileage accrued during service visits. It's unlikely to accrue that many miles during most repairs that an EV might see, but can't hurt to check if you have access to records. Even ICE...

My last set of tires were just over 4/32nds on the rear tires while the fronts were still about 8/32nds at about 5k miles. Started at 9/32nds. Might just be a case of replacing rear tires at twice the rate of front tires. Had to do that on my sport bikes too. Though, I'm running 275s all...

I'm actually more interested in what was in the lane over...😂

Thanks. One of the sites tracking updates indicates Model 3 as included and others don't include any of the model 3's. I suppose HW2.5 being excluded could make sense. It's a neat feature, but if true, not worth losing USS over. Maybe could be worth it if they enabled recording from them. It...

I have my mom's Model Y connected to my account so I can assist her remotely if necessary. I got an unlocked door notification today so I checked the app to see if she was at home as it often dies that there, but she was in a store parking lot. I went to check the camera to see if she was...

Again. I'm just throwing out an idea. Thrust angle doesn't really explain the different directions of pull. Torque multiplication through the diff does if the left side binds.

I would check for a binding left caliper. If the left side brake is dragging enough, it would increase torque to the right side of the axle with the dragging brake when accelerating and during Regen. If it's binding enough to cause this though, I'm thinking it would pull left when you let off...

The instructions on Satonic's website have some crude instructions for the lithium battery equipped vehicles in the last box. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SubQfNJzkcw2YVZvubZuFQbLhQ2kDnsZ/view?usp=sharing I have a 2018MY, so wiring was fairly straightforward. The 2018 appears to use a...

Subwoofer box says 100W RMS. Alpine's site says 200W RMS. The description allow and Best Buy's site says 400W RMS. I can't imagine the box is wrong....

No one I know of. But this is 12 speakers, a a sub, an amp and all the parts to be pretty close to plug and play. It's not out just yet so it's unknown how well it's tuned and how it sounds, but conceivably they could have created a well balanced system. Of course there will be some...

FYI, Alpine is coming out with a 12 speaker + 10" sub semi-plug and play speaker and amp kit. Cost is about $3k. Crutchfield is offering a pre-order so it's not quite available yet. Not sure about release date. https://www.alpine-usa.com/product/tesla-model-3-sound-system-pss-tsla-213p

Took nearly 4 months for my mom to get hers. They just arrived within the last week and I ordered them mid October...

Permissive use is not universal. Some policies, coupled with strict underwriting practices, do not simply allow anyone to drive. This is more likely the case with substandard policies (high risk) where their policyholders are more likely not to disclose a driver. However, I've also seen...

That is pretty ridiculous. That person needs to get their own car or a different car. Or find another carrier that isn't so pricey for said driver.
