As I read the IRS instructions for 8911, it says you can use 3800. I will check out your suggestion though, sounds simpler. 8911 instructions... Partnerships and S corporations must file this form to claim the credit. All other taxpayers aren’t required to complete or file this form if their...

Well the vehicle credit has shown in in H&R block, but it looks like after about 90 minutes on the phone with them, there will be no support for form 8911 (charger credit). I've spent about $2000 in my 2 homes for chargers, and it looks like I qualify with all that bullshit location of...

Oops, yes I mean the MOBILE connector, thanks all.

Has anyone tries using the NEMA 5-15 connected to 240V? Will the wall connector allow that?

The point is, even with the heat pump and preconditioning there is loss of range yes! There is not enough waste heat to keep the batteries and occupants 'warm'. Hmmm, temperature and aerodynamics, good point, a quick google shows it is probably not significant. >>As the ambient air...

So I was going on a 10 degree F 200 mile trip starting at 95%, plugged in and preconditioned. I thought I would be golden, and while I did make it in my '23 MYP, the energy app showed I lost 16% rated range to cold (et als). Being preconditioned, I though the loss would be minimal, then the...

Yes, connector wear 'is a thing' in fact I do think some of the issues you hear about NEMA 14-50s overheating can be due to connector wear. I was at a destination charger the other day and happened to look in at the contacts and OMG, I was appalled at the mess the contacts were in. At the...

As a new owner, I am still ramping up my irritation level on the auto rain detecting wipers. I do believe they use the (front only?) cameras to look for raindrops and are frequently fooled by some residual and insignificant debris. I am wondering if anyone has tried something to keep the...

It seems pretty self explanatory but..... How do you add a speed trap? Is there a legend? I have seen red cross hatched areas, it seems that these may be popular areas for johnny law to hide? I do not use it for navigation, but leave it up for speed traps. I never hear any warnings, is...

I've read a lot of the cold weather range threads and still feel unfulfilled. Prior to being an owner, I read that the majority of energy loss in cold weather was not poor cell performance, but cabin heating. Now I have a MYP with heat pump and have watched the 75 minute Weberauto youtube on...

Have you tried some of the apps that pull data (Tessie, teslafi). I have no had the itch to delve that deep, but it would seem you would be able to pull droves of info in manipulative format vs looking at the screen. Speculation on my part, but I am betting service mode won't give you the...

No doubt the navigation is great for range anxiety, but I miss some of the basic features of my old mazda. One was finding stuff 'on route' (bathrooms, food). Is there a way to do this. I know you can do 'near me', but that is pretty indiscriminate about turning you around, and 'ain't...

I am a delighted new MYP owner and am absorbing a lot of the info available here and other places on the vehicle. I see a lot of 'what is your WH/mile? I am getting xxx'. Well it seems to me that this has nothing to do with your car, only the way you drive it. Seeing as it it so much fun...

I missed the forest through the trees, I think you nailed it Mike. Based on the known variables, I will speculate the flexible cord approved for 42 amps on the wall charger is #12 wire! The numbers also say the power dissipated in that cord is 260 watts at 42A (about 2% of delivered power)...

Power loss is I^2 * R and R= delta V / delta I so you can set two different charging currents, record delta v and I. Presto! You have the resistance right to the charger and can now calculate power loss. Well I did this with the mobile connector on a circuit I extended and it came up way...

Tx for the great links. As for the mounting on the mobile charger, they really should have 2 bosses in the plastic for mounting.

As my MYP is brand new, I have not had a chance to drive it yet in the snow/ice. Based on what I have been reading, the regenerative braking becomes a problem. Can anyone describe how this works, based on what I've read when regen braking occurs you don't get the ABS action. Does anyone...

Being an incredible cheapskate and pretty handy guy, I agree with you. Based on what I've seen the big thing is the wall connector will do a little higher power. Since it is hardwired with GFCI, you would save the $120 bucks on a 240V GFCI breaker, so arguably the savings is negligble. As...
