    Changing fluid in the Gear box , part or Model S drive train.

    Anyone ever heard of a Company called Pentosin? They have a product called ATF 64. Anyone had any experience with it? The company even released a statement touting it as compatible for Tesla. https://crpautomotive.com/wp-conten...tive-Pentosin-Tesla-EV-Fluids-Award-PR_V2.pdf

    Oil change in drive unit tesla model S

    I want to change the gear oil on both the front and rear drive units on S. Ive been doing some searching around, seems alot of people say Dexron VI is compatible. I was trying to find something better in either Amsoil or Redline product line. I came across a fluid from Pentosin called ATF 64...

    Tesla service & maintenance: the biggest difference with legacy car makers?

    My experience hasn't been that great either. I paid out of pocket to get the MCU2 with FM radio upgrade and had to take it back twice because they "forgot" to install the FM radio and then "forgot" to make sure the mic worked for making phone calls. Both times they wanted me to leave it...

    Need parts, ignored by service center.

    They dont do "walk ins". When I was there for service several month ago I needed some parts and the service guy kept going back and forth trying to get answers.

    Need parts, ignored by service center.

    So Ive been trying to get the few fasteners and trim pieces I need to install the 3rd row seats in my Model S for about 3 weeks now. The Jacksonville Tesla Service center has yet to call me or email me back. Does anyone have a contact for parts? Id be happy to pay shipping. I need SWITCH FOR...

    TELO Truck Prototype - The world’s most efficient EV pickup

    Reminds me of the FC Jeeps. It's almost the same dimension of the FC-150 too!

    Snippiness 2.0

    Dont edit my post. I didnt curse. I called the person stupid. Because you're either a severely mentally challenged individual or a terrorist sympathizing piece of $H1T to believe what he believes.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    The ADL is a joke just like the UN, SPLC, and pretty much all the rest of the agencies and groups who support terrorists while calling for everyone who disagrees with them to be censored or jailed.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    What I think you mean is "No business should ever take conservative or even perceived right leaning political stance." Pretty much every single business that is owned by any of the big investment companies is forced to take a left leaning political stance whether they want to or not.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Or have less negligent parents! Is it an automakers fault when negligent parents leave their babies in the car and forget about them? Should the government mandate all cars have a detection feature? Like I said in the beginning, protecting stupid people, and their offspring. And at the same time...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Now adjust that to how many Teslas are on the road, and adjust it again for how many miles all those teslas have driven while on L2 ADAS. You can manipulate data to make it seem like anything is a death trap.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    Like I said, lost because stupid people cant be expected not to stick their heads in open windows. Gotta make sure we protect all the stupid people. Just like the big "HOT" labels all over a cup of coffee.

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    So we can expect to have to interact MORE with the car just so it stays in auto pilot? I think its over intrusive currently! The amount of input I have to put into the steering, just so it stay in auto pilot, on a smooth straight road is to much in my opinion. We already lost the ability to...

    Variable schedule/pre-conditioning

    I feel your pain. I not only have a varying schedule I also have varying times in the morning I need it to pre-condition (I work 48/72 shift). I have noticed when Im at work or home it seems to recognize that and already has the correct time ready (6:00am vs 7:30am). So I just turn it on before...

    Ill look and see if I can get that book. I dont read books as much as I used to. Most books now have an agenda and you know it before even reading the first chapter. If the book doesn't have easy to look up non partisan reputable references, I pass.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    so if the MAJORITY as you claim don't support HAMAS why don't they use their superior numbers to fight back or join Israel in fighting against HAMAS? If what you were saying is true, there would be ALOT more people speaking out against HAMAS in Palestine, but they are not. They are actually...

    They wont because they support HAMAS. They'd be slashing the necks of their grandfathers, fathers, uncles, cousins, brothers, sons, etc.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    I lived in Riyadh Saudi Arabia for 2 years. The "West" really needs to understand that the rest of the world does not operate the way we do. If the Saudi Royal family does not rule with a somewhat iron fist, terrorist will attack and try to overthrow them. (Edit: now that I think about it, there...

    And by the way let me know when the IDF starts taking Palestinian babies, burning them in ovens while raping their mothers and beheading their fathers, and then we can talk about "moral equivalence".

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    I gotta disagree with that assertion. You're seeing the UN and multiple countries call for a ceasefire. A ceasefire would only allow HAMAS to regroup and resupply. And Palestine keeps trying to play both sides. Either HAMAS is a terrorist group holding Palestien hostage (haha), or PLA and HAMAS...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    The notion that you can be "centrist" in topics of politics and even more so of topics such as violence and war is morally repugnant. I can all but guarantee that there is complete cognitive dissonance going on with centrist views of the world. “You have enemies? Good. That means you've...

    You know all these middle eastern countries could avoid all this by instead HELPING Israel exterminate HAMAS and taking in Palestinian Refugees until the conflict is over. But nope they'd rather use this opportunity to attack Israel and let there fellow Muslims die needlessly while they block...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    The "whataboutism" & "moral equivalence" in this thread from people who probably think very highly of themselves is staggering. That ANY of you can support this genocidal "From the river to the sea" or "Stand with Palestine" rhetoric is disgusting.

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    They decide who sits on that "committee" insuring that only those who will interpret the law the same way or share the same agenda's ever make it to the bench. They essentially chose who gets to be their successors by using their majority on the committee...

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    Exactly! Imagine a supreme court where the Justices were elected for life, got to pick their successors, and could overturn any law enacted by the majority of democratically elected leaders of the people. Well the Israeli's don't have to imagine it, because they live it!

    Israel/Hamas conflict

    No skin in the game? Every human being with morals and a conscious has skin in the game. Especially when you think that we are allowing people who share the same values and beliefs of HAMAS to immigrate into our countries.

    FSD Transfer Offer - COMPLAINT wrt totaled car

    The point I’m trying to make though is that once Tesla finds out that car was totaled, they will disable both. It could be for hail damage, but that car will no longer have either FSD or FUSC and may not be able to supercharge at all. So that extra money the insurance is paying you for those...

    FSD Transfer Offer - COMPLAINT wrt totaled car

    No it’s not, this is why both are disabled by Tesla when they are traded in before they send it to auction. And why they can transfer FSD to a new car and disable it on the older car. If it was tied to the vin, that wouldn’t be possible. The reason the insurance company took them into...

    Not impressed with my first Tesla Service Center experience.

    well I went back in on Wednesday of last week. The fun continued. Told the service advisor about the mic and radio, returned the wrong part. A tech came got my car was gone about an hour.

    Off-grid frequency shifting

    I have Enphase with Envoy and I was never asked by enphase or my installer to pay for access. They actually made me setup an account so they could transfer ownership of the system to me after installation. Also Enphase has a GREAT online university that gives you all the exact same information...

    Off-grid frequency shifting

    While not cheap, I think your problem could be solved by upgrading to IQ8. The IQ7 is a Grid Tie system, meaning it requires a functional grid to produce power. My guess is that the batteries were providing the grid initially, but once it shut off, your grid was lost and the IQ7 stopped...

    OEM CCS adapter now available to order in North America, Retrofit for older cars coming in 2023

    I just spoke to the Tesla dealer. They told me installing the CCS Hardware Retrofit is free, but there is a $450 charge to update the firmware, enable CCS, and provide the CCS to NACS adapter. In the price estimate there is two separate lines for it. "CCS ECU and Combo 1 Harness Retrofit, Gen 2...

    Questions about setting up a wall connector

    Like Rocky_H says, I believe you would be much better served by running a 100amp sub panel to the garage and then branching off from it. This will also allow you to do things like install regular outlets, lighting, and in the future hook up another Wall connector.

    Which paint is the thickest?

    Ive always been partial to silver or gray metallic painted cars. Ive also been told its the least likely to show blemishes, and the easiest to blend after a repair.
