In hopes of getting reduced rates from PSE&G, I ordered and had installed a Charge Point CPH50 EVSE in my garage. The OEM instructions require a licensed electrician to do the install and I had one do it. It required removal of an existing inspected and approved receptacle and replacement with...

Apparently some do. Just like folks curse him when he raises and lowers prices. But ICE vehicle cash offers, special sales, manufacturer and dealer prices/discounts and etc are OK, even though they amount to the same thing. And we all know that depreciable assets really...

A hair dryer and not being in a rush makes it fairly easy

NEVER put a down payment on something you do not own.

Well, now that I said that, they are planning on phasing out the sales tax exemption for EV's.

No sales tax is due for EV's in the PDRNJ.

For me about 4 weeks ago, they were right on with the trade value.

My USB hub worked great when I had a MY with HW3, I used the OEM stick, and plugged my music stick into another port. Just got a new MY with HW4, and only the Tesla stick was recognized. SSSoooooooooooooooooo. Took another stick and created two partitions. The first was done in the manner of...

It appears that the USB hub which worked with HW3 does not work with HW4. Next, I removed the Tesla flash stick and replaced it with my music stick. It was recognized and worked immediately. So, as an experiment, I took a 128G flash stick I had and created two volumes: TESLADRIVE (100G) and...

I just did the same thing a bit over a week ago. I had to put out a small sum, as the NJ rebates are temporarily unavailable, and I may be liable for last year's rebate because I haven't kept the old one long enough. But, I have a fresh car in a different color that I like, fresh warranties...

Yes, I did that and there is no change. I have not yet pulled the USB hub out and tried the music flash drive alone, so I suppose that's the next step.

I recently picked up a new 2023 MY to replace my original 2023 MY (It was a good deal!) In the original which had HW3, I was able to put a small USB hub in the glovebox and run the Tesla flash drive for dashcam and sentry, as well as another USB flash drive formatted in exFAT for music files...

Toybox worked fine with a similar horn sound as before. Thanks!

I traded in my "old" Model Y on Thursday and immediately got into and rove off in my "new" Model Y. It was a good decision as I got HW4 and the upgraded cameras. What has me puzzled is that I can't seem to get the car to honk on walk away lock like the other one used to do. I can go into the...

I'm in the same position as you are. I traded in the MY that got me the $2K POS rebate in 2/23 on Thursday, and immediately got into the "same" but different color MY. The rules say in part (one word is my CAPS for emphasis) "If a vehicle for which an incentive payment was issued is sold...

Oh, a bit under 4000 miles, $37.5K. Check going out the door was for a bit under $1500. I picked it up this morning at Paramus. There was a short hitch because they had a software error on my application to give them the $7.5K POS tax credit against my bill, but that was fixed. My trade was...

Should be about 15. Still waiting for the final price forms so I can pay.

I got a great trade-in offer on the MYLR I bought last year and I'll be picking up my new one with fresh warranty for a bit under $1500.

What it needs to do is to allow you to start the car and pull away when the charging cable is connected in an emergency situation.

They do have a TOU plan, but it requires an EnergyStar EVSE, which means no 240 volt plug-in Granny type chargers. It gets you about a 10.5 cent rate reduction from PSE&G from 9P to 7A and all day on weekends. My usual rate runs between about 18 and 21 cents/kWh as it stands. All I use/need...

He is not of this world. These genius types rarely are. The concept is out there, and it now has to be refined to cover areas that the average car buyer will want. As things stand, the design, particualry in the interior, appeals to a certain group, and most of the group members already have...

The one on the southbund lane is only 4 miles from home, so I hit it early for the lower rates. The rates are not as good as they were a few months ago. ISTR getting .13/kWh at Woodcliff Lake.

Also doesn't look like it has off hours rates................

I bought an MY in 2/23. I have 2300 miles on it and my overall average is 235w/mile. 1000/235=4.255 mile/kW. 4.255x77 kWh posted battery capacity=327.64 miles as a rough estimate. This is rough as it is a mixture of local and highway driving as well as with intermittent use of heat and A/C...

AFA the rear camera, I made a mark on the ground and backed up until the mark was at the bottom of the image. In the case of my care, it left a foot between the bumper and the mark. I use that mainly for backing in to curbs for charging.

OK, so my question is...... I am getting a new phone tomorrow and will not be using the old phone for my card. I will give the old phone to my wife and she will use it with her card. I will put the new phone on my card. Is there anything special that needs to be done so that the settings are...

Happened to me this morning (first time). Was out walking and I got a Tesla app notification that charging had stopped and added 24 miles. When I got back to the car, and got in, the screen showed an active charge, as did the screen on the ChargePoint unit. I continued to charge for another...

I've noticed a few of these showing up lately. A set in Ridgewood, and the old Chargepoint units in fair Lawn Promenade appear to have been replaced by OpConnect units at .32/kWh for Level 2. Plugshare reviews are negative.

Whether it is a good idea to lease is dependent on your circumstances. One thing you DO NOT want to do is put a down payment or trade towards something you will not own.

And so do folks in cars who don't dim their high beams when approaching an oncoming cyclist. That's when I turn the handlebars a bit so they get to enjoy my handlebar light.

The signs have to be programmed in, and i suspect the most common standard signs are the only ones loaded. Went thru a retirement community yesterday that had a slightly off standard speed limit sign and it did not show up. But garbage cans are 100% accurate. Some flashing lights like the...

You will have them in time. Don't sweat the front plate, lots of folks go without them in the PDRNJ. The title will follow in a separate mail within a week or so. Worse comes to worse, they can issue you a second 30 day tag, but that should not be necessary.

Wait until you get a delivery date, then have your agent make up a temporary insurance ID card with the effective date being the date of delivery. You can send it forward or bring it with you.

Usually within a day or so of expiration. Tesla can also get you an extension on the temp.

I Ttink of it the same way, too. But also like a plane. If taken care of well, the airframes last a very long time. The second to last one i owned has been around for 59+ years and is still flying. What folks do is replace engines, repaint, and upgrade avionics and interiors. I think of the...

1/4 inch is unacceptable but should be fixable.

Thirty minutes will give you a pretty good idea, especially if you have previous EV experience. If you want to give it a really good test under varying conditions over a period of a day, the rental would be the way to go. Unless, of course, you know someone with a Y who would let you borrow it...

Just have them make it effective on the delivery date. they just want to see that you have some insurance.

No, you can do it on the Tesla app and get the pricing breakdowns and time periods, if applicable. Location, then expand the map, the chargers will show, Tap the charger you want to check and the info will come up. You can send it to the car if you wish.

Naturally, a full report is expected!

I emailed my rebate forms on 2/28, but it did not show up for several days, finally showing a submission on 3/2

When I picked mine up, I found a small polishing swirl on the right rear door. They took care of it. I just noticed two things. The bottom of the rear hatch sits about 1-2mm further in on the right side than the left. And the center of the hatch glass is slightly higher in the middle than on...

I think there are fewer problems than the posts would indicate. OK, the right lower side of my hatch sits a hair deeper than the left. The top of the glass in the middle is slightly higher than the roofline. And there were a couple of little tags of plastic that were left after detailing...

If you want to use a plug in or similar charger at home, you want to make sure your home address is listed in your profile, and you might also like to designate your home in the navigation section. Then when you charge at home, it will show up as home in the charging stats.

That may be true, but I recall the outrage when they went to doughnut spares in the late 70's, allegedly to save money. With the increase in mileage that was dictated, less and less was able to be done to get the numbers up. You can get only so many BTUs out of a gallon of gas. OK, you can...

Nothing will show until NJ gets the form and logs it in. Then you will see a submitted date and a pending status which eventually will change to approved. It took several weeks for me.

I had my Kona EV on lease for 22 months before getting the Y. 16 months into the lease, I picked up a nail that created a very slow leak in the left rear (about 1#/day). A month later, I picked up a short 1/4" bolt in the same tire, but no leak. My local station plugged both and told me he...

Just keep looking, it will show up when it it received and logged in, and the next thing you'll be waiting for is pending changing to approved. May take a few weeks. Mine was marked submitted on 3/2 but approval showed up about 6 weeks later.

You can track submission to approval by establishing an account https://chargeup.njcleanenergy.com/

I have to back into charging spaces and I use the camera and the vision feature. I find the vision is a bit more conservative, showing me I'm a bit closer than I really am. I also "calibrated" the backup camera. I find that where the bottom of the image hits the ground is about a foot from...
