    Tire Rotration Pattern.

    Looked through the threads and couldn't find one that dealth with this, so here goes... Looking for tire experts' opinion here. I've always done my own regular maintenance on my cars, and with several with over 300,000 miles on them, I must be doing something right. Now its time for a tire...

    What are these stickers?

    I found two stickers stuck to each other in my Model Y. They were between the front passenger seat and the console. I suspect they are identification for parts installed in the car but I was wondering if anyone knew for certain.

    What is your favorite all-round vehicle you've owned?

    VW Touareg, V8. Great daily driver and excellent tow rig for my race car. Crap fuel economy and very expensive oil changes.

    New Owner From Texas

    I'm using Idiot Electric, LLC. In other words, I'm installing the circuit myself. I've done electric work before, and adding a circuit like this is pretty simple and straightforward. The hard part is getting the right cable and other parts so that the circuit is safe and adheres to local...

    Do MLY come with matrix headlights?

    Another data point. MYLR delivered today, Austin build, with Matrix headlights. Maybe Austin finally ran out of the reflector headlights?

    New Owner From Texas

    I've already made a handful of posts, but I figured I should introduce myself. I'm picking up a Model Y Long Range later today. It's an Austin build in blue (wife's favorite color,) and I'm still on the bench when it comes to adding the acceleration option later. Out of the box, it already...

    Home Wall Connector Install

    Thanks but I've already got one from a previous project. That's the long-term plan. The 14-50 will come out and the wall charger will go in after the holidays.

    Home Wall Connector Install

    Thanks for all the information. I've run large gauge cables before, but not in such a tight spot (I used to build race cars and relocating batteries and installing the cables for them was a massive pain in the butt until I discovered welding cable!) I'm not too worried about 4# wires. THe...

    Home Wall Connector Install

    That's the first good Tesla-related news I've heard all day! :) (Drama getting the delivery scheduled for tomorrow.) Now I have to clear out a space next to the service panel and on the wall where the charger will be mounted. I REALLY need to clear out my garage...

    Home Wall Connector Install

    Looks like a Cutler & Hammer CH260 will handle a 4# wire. In other news, it looks like I need a disconnect switch too. This is the first I've heard of this, but CEC 86-304 reads: 86-304 Disconnecting means (1) A separate disconnecting means for shall be provided for each installation of...

    Home Wall Connector Install

    Resurecting this thiread as it seems most appropriate. I'm taking delivery of a MYLR tomorrow (My first EV!) Short term plans arew to charge off the drier circuit using Tesla's mobile connector for about two weeks. I figure it will take me that long to install a dedicated 14-50 outlet in the...
