I took some video. Made it three parts. I tried to embed playlist but no joy lol

there seems to be about a 4% cost overnight for Sentry mode. I’m fine hopping in, heading over to the SC* and plugging in while I in-car plan my stop(s) to my destination. * I deliberately choose SCs and hotel that are in close proximity, less than 5min driving time

pumping gas vs pumping electrons is a different mindset. I got my first ever full EV this past April 19 and did my first ever long range this past week, FL to NY. It’s just …. different. I knew it would be different. I didn’t know in what way but simply kept an open mind. Instead of...

The Plaid reads as having better brakes (not just painted red)

I test drove a 2023 MYLR and ended up leasing a 2024 MYPerf. The MYPerf is a better riding vehicle in every way. The suspension damping is better sorted, the ride is quieter and it has more power (obviously). I got the Performance for the occasional track day and did wonder about how...

You saw the finger wag right? ;) Tappan Zeeeeee …… say it with me …… TAPPAN …… ZEE …… -

I used three methods: ABRP, very customizable, including desired charge levels Google Maps. It recognizes ‘supercharger’ as a search term Finally the Tesla online planner. It gave me an idea of supercharger locations to then cross-reference in the ABRP and Google Maps. I purposely chose...

Round 3, Leg 1: Stony Creek VA to Stafford VA (250kw) Round 3, Leg 2: Stafford VA to Maryland House Travel Plaza (Aberdeen MD supercharger, 150kw) Round 3, Leg 3: Maryland House Travel Plaza to Tarrytown NY (150kw) The morning supercharger 70% / precondition move worked nicely the previous...

Round 2, Leg 1: Brunswick GA to St George SC (250kw) Round 2, Leg 2: St George SC to Florence SC (Buc-cees 250kw) Round 2, Leg 3: Florence SC to Lumberton NC (250kw) Round 2, Leg 4: Lumberton NC to Stony Creek VA (250kw) I charged at Brunswick GA the night before to 67%, plenty for Sentry mode...

Road Missile: 2024 Tesla Model Y Performance, Hankook ION EVO tires. Starting mileage: 184 miles. That’s right, brand new. I picked up this MYP lease a week before with 11 miles on the odometer. Round 1, Leg 1: Naples FL to Brooksville FL (250kw) I left the house with 100% charge, a quick...

I just got my Tesla and I've only tried it on the highway. I really DISlike how it seems to favor the dotted white line.

- Taking a trip in my Telsa MYP 2024 to my home state of New York. I've been planning the trip using A Better Route Planner, plain 'ol Google Maps (on Google Maps you can search 'Supercharger, [city]' and it'll pull them up) and finally Tesla's planner. I'm mostly using ABRP for mapping out...

I did it, today, leasing a new 2024 MYP, picking up April 19. I went with existing inventory instead of building one. Doing a Two year lease. Did it under my personal name. Taking advantage of the new $5,xxxx additional discount along with the $7,500 credit =============== Design Model Y...

I'm strongly considering forming an entity to lease a Tesla (considering a Model Y). Have you done such a thing? What was your experience like? My goal is writing off some of the lease (50%, maybe 2/3) as I plan to create Youtube content with the vehicle, as well as writing off other expenses...

still pondering the LLC route though perhaps it would be an S corp going to start a new thread on that

Besides Circle K, did you stop at the food place(s) nearby? Which one? How was it? -

I’m still leaning toward the lease but more strongly considering creating an LLC to lease the vehicle. Will write off the MYP against Youtube review videos. Working from home makes using the MYP mainly for youtube a realistic scenario. Planned road trips, track days, etc. I’d like to own but...

Interesting about the snow plow. Imagine ICE drivers having to dig out an access to fuel pumps .....

That’s where my two year idea comes from, the Juniper coming out. Any lease is just a long term rental. If the value goes up you don’t make anything. But if the value tanks you don’t lose anything. -

That was also in my thoughts, part of the ‘letting go without drama’ factor -

I’m strongly considering a two year lease. Pros / Cons? I had leased way back and went way over miles. That mileage has been the case for years but since the world ended many of us work from home. This means that mileage is no longer a factor. Being able to let the car go at the end of the...

For Model Y: “Shop Available” on Tesla website now, no option for ‘Custom Order’ what is this revealing? other models still have the ‘Custom Order’ button option -

Keenly eyeing the potential Juniper release. Interesting that there isn’t a single MYP in the inventory (02.10.2024) but lots of MYLRs. - I caught this on youtube earlier this week. Might be a solution...

For the dedicated race pads I was thinking of doing the race pads at the track then swapping back when leaving but this would have to include swapping rotors as well. I've changed pads and rotors before and I've done track days. But I've never changed pads and rotors at the track because it...

Ok, replace fluid with SRF (less moisture absorbance) Any recommendations concerning brake pads? 1. Something streetable that is also suited for track days 2. Full on race pads. Presumably this will also mean dedicated rotors, to avoid cross contamination.

Success! I tried the above linked method and Hertz phone agent was able to remotely delete the prior use who was still logged in, reset guest mode and once exiting/locking/re-entering the vehicle the QR code immediately popped up on the car’s touchscreen. Phone key now active! -

I’m going to turn off bluetooth then exit, lock and then re-enter. ….. tomorrow lol -

When I finally got it to connect to wifi I was able to run the update, overnight, but no joy on the QR code.

Thanks. I like it actually. The supercharger network keeps a Tesla in the running over something more flexible like a new Toyota Prime (new Prius model or RAV4) The Standard is pretty fast. It feels close to as fast as my old CBR600F3 race bike. -

Possible solution from @Karmavore. This type of “solution” will have to be tried after Christmas. Don’t want to brick the car lol Renting a Y from Hertz? -

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎆 I’ve got a Model 3 Standard for rent this week, pretty smooth, fast ride. I’ve been checking out the Performance as a possible purchase …. But how do I get the QR code to pop up in “the lower left of the touchscreen” to set up my phone as a key? I spent...
