Today we were driving west on Bakerview in Bellingham WA with FSD engaged. The car in front of us swerved to avoid an object on the road; I recognized the object to be a small, empty, paper bag as it easily moved from the breeze from the car in front. I briefly considered taking over from FSD...

FSD (Supervised) 1 month demo is free to Canadians when in the USA. I know because it was pushed to my M3 last night! I did a test drive this morning...

I have scheduled the car for service. The charge port won't open with an external push on the flap, even when the car is awake and the doors/trunk are open. When I use the touch screen to open the chargeport it opens, then closes again, in a fraction of a second. I had to have my wife press...

EA's Cellphone app and their network is partially down. Apparently all charging is now complimentary until the issue is resolved. I got a free charge yesterday at our local EA station.

When I have basic AP on and are navigating to a destination, AP is now slowing the car down when it thinks I should be turning to get to my requested destination. This is fine except that I don't always want to turn where suggested and then I have to override AP by applying power. Anyways, is...

Sierra Vista now has 4 x CCS1 DCFC dispensers on the EVConnect network; 2 x 50kw, 1 x 50kw and 1 x 100kw. We charged on the 100kw DCFC tonight using our CCS1 adapter. Use Plugshare to find their locations. You will need the EVConnect app on your cell phone to use the chargers. IIRC, all 3...

I haven't been able to do a proper range test using my new Sailun Erange ASR tires but they are probably increase range by 5-7%; they are quieter and give a much better ride over potholes and speed bumps. My guess is that much of the Highland improvements are due to better tires.

Road tripping in my LFP TM3. (Feb 25 2023) My wife and I needed to do a grocery run and we combined it with a drive through Columbus NM. We drove from our home to Hwy 80 and thence to Hwy 9 and Columbus NM, where we turned north to arrive in Deming. After dinner we shopped at the local giant...

Aero wheel covers appear to be ~8% more efficient!

Last night we got home and I plugged in the L2 charger and whilst unloading the groceries I noted that the EVSC faulted out. It seems that the car is requesting more current than the set amp limit in the car's charging menu. I have the car set to 15amps and it reports 16amps (16a at 235v) and...

In 2019 I purchased a 2020 Prius Prime after Strata Council OKed me to use a 110V outlet beside my (secure) underground parking spot, as a charging station. Here's how I did it: I agreed to keep the charge rate to 8amps to avoid overheating/overloading the circuit. I purchased a simple...

Anyone notice a difference in DCFC with 2022.40.1? In fact has anyone received 2022.40.1 yet? It's unclear to me if the notes are referring to Superchargers or non-Tesla DCFCs.
