    Electric vehicles release more toxic emissions, are worse for the environment than gas-powered cars: study

    https://nypost.com/2024/03/05/business/evs-release-more-toxic-emissions-are-worse-for-the-environment-study/ This just popped up on my phone. And several reddit posts too. I just got a model Y. Great so far. But hard to believe EVs are worse than ICE vehicles. Say it isn't so.

    Speed limiter

    Speed limit does exist. Between 50-90 miles. Would be helpful if it could be 20 miles for residential.

    Chicago Car Wash Recommendations

    Norms closed finally about 2 years ago. Any other recommendations? I tried the trio bp but cancelled because it was hard to find the right spot. Maybe everclean. Or I stopped by waterway and he said we have hundreds of Tesla's each month and no issues. Or there is splish splash prospect...

    Car wash?

    I cancelled the trip wash. I might try everclean or waterway. Or there is another place near me where they hand wash for 20 bucks.

    Where can I see my charging history?

    I installed the wall connector in the app and it shows history. But only once I start charging with it after my 6 months are up. The other stats from the public chargers are not available.

    Watching Tubi or Peacock on an 22MS

    If you're considering getting the new Peacock streaming service to watch on your Tesla screen, forget it! According to Peacock's customer service, they don't support Linux, and they only support the main browsers, including Chrome and Microsoft.Mar 15, 2023

    2021 Tesla Y USB Drive Formats. not Recognized

    It probably is 2.0 then. They are not using USB c because they probably don't want you to use multiple devices in there. Keep it for the dash cam and maybe music that is it. What else needs data? Nothing else. Charging my phone is with qi or one of the 4 USB c ports.

    2021 Tesla Y USB Drive Formats. not Recognized

    Yes but if it's a dash cam drive also then video needs 3.0? https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-F311BBCA-2532-4D04-B88C-DBA784ADEE21.html It says here make sure it's 2.0 compatible and A sustained write speed of at least 4 MB/s. So that is not very fast. But not sure if that...

    2021 Tesla Y USB Drive Formats. not Recognized

    Ok I fixed it. 1. I verified the glove box in my 2023 model y is the only data port. The other 4 c ports do nothing. 2. It has to be Exfat. The 128gb Tesla branded flash drive that came with the Tesla was Exfat not fat 32. 3. Once I partitioned in 2 it showed USB icon. It would not show...

    At the dealer yesterday he said you do not need to goto touch less car wash. That was the advice for older cars. But newer cars like 2021 with the heat pumps you can use the one with the brushes. It does not matter. Is that so? Anyone else here use the brushes or bristles? Not sure why the...

    The guy came today for estimate and he said the breaker box needs to be redone and it will be about 4 thousand. Or he has a device (I forget what its called) goes in the breaker box and limits the house to 80 percent when other things are running like laundry.
