reply to the original post ‘23 MY never used it; used regular autopilot a lot on local roads and highways; got the free month i think it’s pretty remarkable…it’s a little cautious i would not pay 12k for it…but i would pay something like 4k… people seem to be pretty critical… i live in a...

i not an expert at these graphs but it doesn’t seem like a fixed efficiency at all operating points, eg it’s not a perfect system with a linear response to the demanded acceleration… and the motor is a relatively simple device whose efficiency is best generalized and characterized in the...

but you no empirical proof of that… this statement is not necessary true: “This is talking about accelerating to the same speed (for example at an on-ramp). If the average speed about that same, that largely reduces that contribution.” you do not know if this multi system car that includes...

i was hoping because the gen3 firmware was upgraded so the app can read it with both connected to wi-fi whereas the prior method required the putting the the gen3 into access point mode…i queried pseg…

but as a theoretical physicist (you brought it up not me) you know that real world non-thought experiment empirical measurements need to be modeled using the actual system one is studying… 1. we do not live in that perfect frictionless F=ma world 2. the battery connected to motor with...

my question: this credit was not available for gen3 connector cause it could not connect with pseg… the 4.25.0 app and latest connector firmware allows the app to connect to the app…is this a step to using gen3 with this usage credit? to bring to the capabilities of chargepoint or juice box...

the new tesla app with latest gen3 connector firmware allows tesla app to get data from the wall connector i could not join a program with power company (pseg) to get lower rates for non-peak home charging… the reason was: gen3 does not connect with the power company… other chargers like...

i disagree that it does not help to be a serious engineer? listen it’s great that your enthusiastic and clearly love this stuff (as i do) and yes i am a being a bit of a gray haired @sshole…but these are really hard questions…

let’s be realistic…tesla announced a new model 3…and with the same battery and motors it’s gets a nice bump in range just from aerodynamics…they probably modeled it with fluid dynamics with serious computing power… the same for computer controlled battery charging… how realistic it to google...

after the pandemic there was a huge supply chain issue and a relative scarcity of supply… prices went through the roof… MSRP of non-tesla stayed the same but dealers were charging 65k for cars with a 52k msrp… if you bought during that crazy period…you paid a premium that is now gone…

i just got an email from tesla… they just announced a universal wall adapter that can be used with both types of car adapters… available in october https://electrek.co/2023/08/15/tesla-universal-wall-connector-charging-world-on-notice/

the wall charger can do what you want…it’s called “access control” https://www.tesla.com/support/gen-3-wall-connector-access-control

i gave up on using the apple music on tesla…too cumbersome…

as far as i can tell…carplay is largely just an interface that projects your phone onto the cars screen… if for example you use T2C to initiate a podcast or phone call or getting driving directions…and you pull the power from the T2C …everything keeps playing without a problem… essentially you...

i had an issue: all the connections were in place but the box just didn’t connect to carplay i returned it and got a new one…worked right away… if it really is hooked up properly you have to question if the box is malfunctioning

i didn’t really understand and when i bought my car a both a wall connector (had it installed) and the mobile… i don’t really know if i’ll ever use the mobile… you need a receptacle to plug it into……i’m at an airbnb…i find a place to plug in (but i may not find one) …i run an extension cord...

question: got t2c working seems good but screen is a bit blurry…usable but not the best… i can find any settings…thx

it seems not… it took several weeks for me to get an update… and afterward i can see no difference the charger works fine… i think most of the charging intelligence is built into the car…and the charger is largely like a fancy extension cord that plugs into your car with some basic settings...

replacing the 90% myth with the 55% myth you really believe all this armchair science? until one actually sits in a lab and tries to design experiments that answer difficult question (and do it for years) can one appreciate the complexity of these questions… the cars are deployed in hugely...

you cannot get the lower off hours electric rate …which is small 2 cents/kwh but you can absolutely get the $1500 rebate (i did)

sorry… how much if this is supposition and urban legend and how much of this is proven battery degradation in an actual tesla in the real world over multiple years… people treat there cars very differently…how come we don’t see wide variations in battery degradation in the real world in the...

i am not commenting on the cells but on the 80%… i have a MYLR and the recommendation is to charge it to 90%…and that is what the car was set at by default when i bought it… that is routine use…and 80%, 90% does not matter for day to day driving because i use much less than 80% or 90% in a...

yeah after i did it…i really could not tell it was different

upgrade ms to 2023.12.1 back to “artists” missing in apple music… maybe it has nothing to do with upgrade but it’s annoying

on-line…it’s the first step in the process …pseg ev portal

no it’s only for the electric circuit…you need a receipt from a licensed electrician …i got the rebate with a tesla wall charger install …a little painful…but it works u need receipt from licensed electrician; final permits ..:

i had a tesla wall connector installed in jan and i got the rebate …no prob …it’s on the list when you fill out the application… you do not get the discount for off peak charging…for that you need to use one of 2 specific chargers that can report changing data back to pseg i do not know about...

is it just flickering during the reboot process? i would think that could be part of that process or is it flickering after you reboot when the system is up and running…that would be a problem

fixed with 6.9.11

as fyi that no one may care about… my apple music had artists missing from the“artists” page even though they were part of my library and the music was present under “playlists” the music was there… with 6.9.11 this is now fixed

another aspect: there is an urban legend that it takes time after buying a new tesla for updates to start… new tesla 3 months ago…got my first update a few days after delivery…other people reported this… many tesla legends are based on short tweets from musk or 2 sentences in the relatively...

another aspect of updates: what drives the process … i was away with my car parked at work for 3 days without wi-fi… my app says “ready for update connect to wi-fi” when returned 2 days later and drove the car home and connected to home wi-fi i did 6.9.11 so i got “picked” while the was on...

if you’ve done several 3000+ mile trips then your in the top 0.0001% of road tripping…i’ve been driving for 40 years and i have never done it…congrats ! a 3000+ trip will be at least 40 hours of driving and charging every will take at least several hours…

everyone writes: range…range…range but it’s not about range…i don’t even know the range of my ICE… it’s about charging infrastructure … if we had ubiquitous 10 min charging there would be no issues… if the trip is > 100 miles one way…it’s a little anxiety producing… not to mention my MYLR...

i honestly appreciate your effort and enthusiasm… but “dressing more warmly…” made me chuckle…

i think people write a lot about preconditioning and regen braking but the reality is musk made a few tweets and the manual has a short paragraph about it …and tesla engineers may know but i don’t… 1. if it’s >60 degrees i always get non-limited regen… 2. if is < 50 degrees…no 3. the car...

i have a MYLR don’t know if this answers… when it is 70 degrees clear and flat i approach the stated value when it’s 45 degrees rainy it may be 25% (or more) less i bet ICE cars have a similar variation depending on driving conditions… i really think we all frame it as range because...

love my 2023 MYLR but if the destination is > ?100 miles 1 way you have to start thinking about charging… and once you start thinking about charging you are adding a distraction to your trip … i like the technology…love the EV concept… but my family just wants to get to the destination… and...

mine too… i guess there is some method to tesla’s madness

amazon was fine…they helped me return it… it’s the manufacturer there is essentially no customer support except referring you to very basic videos that show a few basic steps… essentially there is no one to help you if there is a problem… when one uses tech support email or via the amazon...

first impressions are lasting …

mine went back… everything connected as it should…in the browser it showed it was connected…but it just didn’t display carplay… many emails and amazon messages… essentially never got beyond the “clear your browser cache…update your firmware…” i concluded it must be defective… huge waste of...

i have only had a few opportunities to use it as it’s been 1 day… i was fairly favorably impressed… in my garage with a bunch of stuff in front of the wall it seemed pretty accurate…measurements in inches popped up that seemed correct.. in a parking space with a curb it really put me too far...

have had TWC for about 8 weeks connected to internet fine on 22.45.1 does not update automatically connect to TWC by phone via access point mode… hit the update button…says “your firmware is up to date” it works fine …not sure it matters… BTW totally separate but the car itself on same...

mine was 2500…ran conduit…drilled through concrete wall…took 2 guys…5-6 hours total included costs of permits…them getting them… ouch… got 1500 back from the electric company…so i think they hike it up…

latest MY update (yesterday) but this happened before the update… apple music/library/artists about half the artists are missing… but if i look under apple music/library/albums the music is there… seems like a bug… logged out of music; back in (in vehicle)…no change…

depends where you live but i don’t that’s unreasonable…

i cannot get it to work… as i said it’s got 3/7 firmware; wi-fi connects to tesla; bluetooth connects to device…set as carplay; iphone set as hotspot; iphone shows device as carplay vehicle… it opens the tespush.com page… it sees the device… it just does not make that last step of passing...
