I had Tesla replace mine. Got a rock chip that almost instantly spread to a large crack on my previous 2021 M3LR within a few months of purchasing it, so I didn’t want to replace the glass with aftermarket and risk having any sort of camera misalignment or issues. I got an estimate from Tesla...

Those insurance numbers are insane. Do you have a lot of tickets or accidents? I think my 2022 M3LR is about $650/6mo with State Farm. Collision is $1000 but comp is $0. I’ve never been in an accident that I was at fault for in 20 years of driving, so I’ll take the significant monthly savings...

Tesla has a massive number of cars just sitting waiting to be purchased right now. There are probably at least 100 new/unsold Teslas sitting in a shopping center parking lot near my local delivery center right now. And I don’t live anywhere near either of the US Tesla factories

“White” LEDs are basically “blue” LEDs with a yellow phosphor over them. Sounds like the yellow phosphor got damaged somehow

I had a 2019? M3MR (RWD) as a service loaner during the winter and I was blown away how much less efficient it was than our 2022 M3LR. It was averaging >350wh/mi on my partner’s 90mi/70mph commute, whereas our 22 M3LR would get 310-330wh/mi in the same conditions. Only thing I could figure is...

I normally charge to 80% at home. My spouse normally drives the car for their 90 mile daily commute and I like to make sure the car has 2 days of commuting available in case something happens with the charger/the vehicle doesn’t charge overnight. Easier to deal with that problem after they’ve...

I meant to say “if anything else is powered from that CIRCUIT” not outlet. Usually one circuit breaker will feed several outlets.

Whatever outlet/breaker you use to charge your vehicle, the EVSE/charger must be the ONLY thing running on that outlet/breaker. If anything else is powered from that outlet, drawing 12A continuously from it will overload it. This is, of course, assuming it is a 15A circuit. The rating for the...

In my experience, 240V charging is actually quite a bit more efficient. My calculations have shown about 87% charging efficiency on 120V vs 95-96% charging efficiency on 240V/48A. Now, that efficiency is power from the vehicle charge inlet vs what actually goes into the battery, so there may...

I’ve had 2 different sets of Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires (OEM tire on Chevy Bolt) and they are among the worst tires I’ve ever owned. The only good things I can say about them is that they are efficient and quiet, but they give up way, way, WAY too much grip. Even light acceleration (again...
