    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Yeah, now they will be able to freely say on Twitter that Hunter‘s laptop full of evidence of him selling access to his father for his And Joe’s benefit is Russian disinformation. Oh wait, that was already a calculated lie spread under the previous Twitter leadership.

    Rivian vs Model Y

    One issue is that most manufacturers have a hard time beating Tesla’s battery/power train efficiency. For example, for the Model Y to get approximately 325 miles or EPA rated range, it has a 75 kWh battery. For the Ford Mustang Mach E to get around the same range in a similar configuration...

    Keeping My Car Plugged In Charges It On And Off Throughout The Day. Is This Good?

    Yes, I generally bounce between 80% and 25% SOC. With that being said, I only do that when it’s not an inconvenience to me. I’m not managing degradation to this degree if it impacts my convenience.

    Is NEMA 14-50 AND Tesla Wall Connector a good idea?

    No, it’s a 14-60 which is on a 60 amp circuit.

    Is NEMA 14-50 AND Tesla Wall Connector a good idea?

    I always have a 14-60 outlet installed, which is a 60 amp circuit. I then use adapters to meet any needs. I‘ve had Teslas since 2020 and I’ve always used the mobile charger with an adapter to plug into the 14-60 receptacle.

    Keeping My Car Plugged In Charges It On And Off Throughout The Day. Is This Good?

    I’m not talking about cycling, I’m talking about state of charge (SOC). If you have two identical lithium ion batteries and you left one with 80% charge and one with 20% SOC for a year, the 80% SOC battery would have degraded more than the other battery.

    Keeping My Car Plugged In Charges It On And Off Throughout The Day. Is This Good?

    Typically the more charge in a lithium ion battery, the higher the degradation rate. I charge every few days unless I’ll be driving a lot.

    Open/Close/Vent windows

    I’m no longer on the “new car” software version and I still have no window controls on my apps, so it’s something else.

    Should New Owners Get EAP, FSD, or Stick with Basic AP?

    Yes, auto lane change was flawless for me too. Is it worth $15k? No

    Should New Owners Get EAP, FSD, or Stick with Basic AP?

    My 2020 MY I got FSD. Now I have a 2022 MY and I just went with the standard included package and the few things I don’t get now are not worth $15k. IMO Tesla should just include FSD with all their cars as a standard included feature and having the FSD spread out over all their car sales would...

    Best charging practices ?

    I believe lithium ion batteries typically degrade more with the more charge it has in it so I charge to 80% and don’t charge for a couple of days until I need to, typically when I drop below 40%.

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    Okay, we obviously aren’t on the same page. There is a ton of wind energy in the midwest. That was the point of discussion. The issue was it showing up when you needed it.

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    It was there but we couldn’t run it and after that I said no more and we are building natural gas units. Every renewable company that was suppose to supply power to us said no. If it’s 75F out and sunny they would provide it though.

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    That’s absolutely false. I was a resource planning engineer in SPP and when I told all these renewable energy companies to turn on their wind turbines they all said no because it could break their turbines. After that I realized the only dependable power source at this time are our traditional...

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    The rolling blackouts I was referring to was in SPP and ERCOT. An ISO can import some power but not enough to sustain those type of generation inadequacies.

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    Wind doesn’t work when it gets really cold which is why the Midwest started rolling blackouts in February 2021 during that cold snap. The only thing that was producing electricity was coal and natural gas plants. Either they freeze up or wnen it’s so cold it’s a dead calm. We just have to...

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    I hate to bring a pinch of reality into the conversation but you typically need your furnace the most at night time or when it’s inclement weather and cloudy, so the electricity supplying the heat pump would be from natural gas or coal fired power plants, especially in harsh climates. Bay Area...

    Someone in a similar post had this: Tesla customer service finally got back to me on this when I requested service for software. Here's what they said: "your vehicle will be in islanded factory mode for the first 30 days after delivery. You need to wait until after October 14th as your vehicle...

    Ceramic coated the MY

    i use this one. After your car is “clean” you just wipe it on and then wipe it off a few minutes later. I don’t know how you can mess it up unless you left it on a really long time without wiping it. https://avalonking.com/products/armor-shield-ix-diy-kit?sca_ref=1960641.oZPm1nQGuN

    Ceramic coated the MY

    I think the products that include a small amount of ceramic in their product is misleading. It’s pretty easy and cheap to just get real nano ceramic that lasts for years.

    You used to be able to open, close, and vent the windows from the App. Why isn’t it there anymore?

    Lol, one day people will blame taking showers at 6pm on a grid failure

    Here’s an out of the box idea - California should allow power plants that can run 24/7 to be built. Instead they import coal and natural gas power from neighboring states.
