    Off-peak charging in NJ and Rolling Energy Resources

    I don't know if I've mentioned this on TMC before, but I enrolled my (former) 2022 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV with my local utility and Rolling Energy Resources in early 2023. From the time I enrolled, I was continually unable to log back into to my Chrysler account or monitor my van using the...

    DIY front window tint, the case for doing it yourself!

    The red-painted Tesla in the installation photos looks to me like it has a blue-colored interior and custom dash trim?

    Tesla’s +$255Bn Home Charger “CarBnB” Opportunity

    I don't know if you are in the minority, but even random people, if they are filtered by an app that rates trust/creates trust ratings, can become trustworthy. Companies can be good or bad: they are created, maintained and warranted by people. The decision to participate in this might have...

    Drove an ET5 Touring demo car yesterday - it's pretty good!

    These cars are heavily subsidized. NYT article, Oct 5, 2023

    My MX delivery

    Was there a "delivery" or "destination" charge? I would guess not, if you picked the car up at the Fremont factory. But I'm not sure from your description. Thanks!

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    I did get the latest update after I switched it to Advanced. I'm glad I asked, thanks.

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    Thank you for that reply. When I get back into the car this afternoon, I'll switch Software preference back to "Standard".

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    Still a Tesla newbie, so I have to ask: is it necessary to set your Software preference to "Advanced" to receive the latest software v11.4.7? Or can one expect to receive this update using "Standard" (which is what I have been using since I picked up the car on Friday July 7, 2023). Thank you.

    Vendor My Tesla Remote - A 3rd party remote that doesn't ask for your credentials

    Hello mySmartRemote Does your app also work with a Garmin bluetooth enabled watch, or only the Apple ("iWatch") watch? Thanks.

    Drove an ET5 Touring demo car yesterday - it's pretty good!

    We just came back from a couple of weeks in Europe. I saw this car parked near the Oktoberfest in Munich in mid-September, and I circled it a few times (on foot) because the design looked very cool, and I snapped a couple of photos. Here is the widest shot (attached).

    Thoughts from a first time FSD Beta User: HW4

    Yesterday afternoon in full daylight, the beta FSD slowed almost to a stop (a slow creep) as it approached a clearly visible red traffic light, determined that it was safe to turn right (as had been programmed earlier by the Navigate-to method) and then it turned right and accelerated away from...

    Thoughts from a first time FSD Beta User: HW4

    I agree with you about the stop sign behavior with the new beta FSD in my 2-month old HW4 MYLR, it is very annoying and confusing to other drivers, and they often can't be bothered to wait for your car (you! the Driver who is visible to the other drivers) to figure out what it is doing, so they...

    Best non-Tesla NEMA 14-50 charger

    Yes, and the newest "universal" (level 2) Tesla Wall Connector provides both types of North American plugs, so it compatible for all North American EVs on the road today. According to Tesla, their new universal charger is capable of charging at 48Amps, so it has the advantage of providing faster...

    3-month FSD 'free' on new HW4 cars is useless

    Yes, both the Tesla app and the car's screen state the expiration at 3 months after delivery of my new Y, and since I have HW4, that is a useless benefit

    Going on first road trip (around 285 miles one way).. New owner.. Just a few questions. Thanks

    I'm a month-long owner of a model Y long range, and learning more every day. What about the (potentially negative?) long-term effect on your battery life/charging system, of mostly charging from ~10% specifically because it charges at a higher rate and creates/produces more heat? Or does this...

    Best non-Tesla NEMA 14-50 charger

    Last year, I bought an EV JuiceNet "enel x" 240V/32A level 2 charger with a NEMA 14-50 plug that I normally keep plugged into a newly installed 240V outlet below a new dedicated 240V electrical panel, for a Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (we since sold the van). It now charges my new Model Y LR at 28...

    Planning to Charge MY at a RV Park with 50AMP using Nema 14-50 ; Should I set to 40A or 32A on my tesla app ?

    Please, what is your charge rate with your 240 wall charger at 32A at home, is it better than 28 miles per hour? That is what I get with my previously purchased EV Juice Net at 240V, 32A, using the Tesla charge adapter that came with my car new. Thank you.

    2023 LR and Y have the exact same suspension?

    If the AB does go on sale, and it is significantly less than $2k, I hope that I notice when it happens so I can take advantage of that deal.

    Could bugs be causing (some) phantom braking?

    That is Interesting, and I'm glad that you had a peaceful drive with no hard-braking events on I-5. I neglected to mention that our hard-braking events only happened during brightly lit daylight hours; when it was cloudy or was raining, and when we drove fast through Denver in their toll-tagged...

    Could bugs be causing (some) phantom braking?

    2 weeks ago, I purchased my first new MYLR here in Colorado, Hardware 4. Last night, me, my wife and our dog returned from our first long road trip: 10 days to and from Seattle on interstate highways. Driving out west, we drove diagonally through northwest Colorado, then Utah, Idaho, Oregon...
