    Poll: Do You Plug In Every Day (for daily driving, home charging)?

    I have a 2023 model 3. My app says to set charge to 100% and charge fully at least once a week. I don't drive far, so I usually charge on the weekend from about 80%- I use a level one "charger" (standard grounded plug) with my Mobile Connector. Cheap and effective. For most people, who don't...

    Sleeping with the Enemy!!

    That's the great thing about Tesla. People are buying the cars because of quality, styling, and often, because they are "cool". You don't have to even be aware of or care about climate change to help make a postive impact. Exact opposite of what the ICE manufacturers did for their electric cars...

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

    I hope service is good like this in my area. My experience with ICE dealers is that there is often something they're trying to add on to the service. For example, with my BMW there is a clamp or holder for a cable that is cracked. The replacement clamp costs about 18.00, but the service fee for...

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    Thank you for the advice! I purchased The Rag Company Edgeless 365. They specifically note that it is for wax removal, polishing. Pretty good price at 19.95 for 10-pack. I also to "Dry Me a River" by The Rag Company. Great name

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    Do you think the gaunlet would be good for wiping down Turtle wax? I see different sizes. What size do you recommend?

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    Thank you! Bubble run!! I never heard of it before. Seems like it would be good business for an orthopedist! :)

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    I have a pressure washer for concrete and wood porch. I didn't think of using it for car cleaning. It's not too harsh on the paint?

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    Yup, I tend to fall off wash and wax after a car ages (which may contribute to aging). I agree with water spots. Almost defeats the purpose of washing, from an aesthetic point of view.

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    Great info. I think I may get The Absorber. I went through a few old facecloths. Do you just wash The Absorber in a washing machine?

    Do you hand wash or car wash your Tesla?

    I see your point. I guess I should have asked, Which do you do most?... Thank you for your vote and to everyone else voting. Helps me to understand what the community is doing.

    Car wash?

    I hope it will last at least six months (I park in a carport at night). I don't think I would want to do that more than twice a year at most.

    May be a placebo-like effect, but I thought that there was a significant difference after the waxing. Not just arm soreness...

    Car wash?

    Have a new car and hand washed it. Then I applied a whole can of Turtle wax to the car. Finally, I had the "pleasure" of spending three hours rubbing the Turtle wax down. Let's just say I survived.

    My experience with ordering and delivery (a positive review)

    I had a positive experience with my delivery. The ordering and pre-pickup work was easy and it was by far the best experience I've had buying a car. Usually, I dread buying a car. I've even bought from online services to avoid having to haggle with sales people. I got a great price on an...

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    I have a Model 3 purchased Dec. 2023 and the app recommends that I set the limit to 100% and charge the battery fully at least once per week. Newer batteries don't have the same 80% restriction. It would be interesting to know what the situation is on the lower end, but the app recommends...

    Does the Cybertruck rust? | Tesla Motors Club Podcast #60

    Part of the talk was about a Cybertruck crash with a Dodge Ram Pick up truck. A host brought up the ultimate crash: Cybertruck vs. Cybertruck. This image came to my mind: Notice how everyone is running! On a serious note, the lack of crumple zone is quite a deviation from the modern standard...

    Reporting on Tesla by Russ Mitchell (LA Times)

    Thank you for taking the time to document the bias in your meticulously detailed study. There's a real information (and misinformation) WAR going on now, at least in the USA. When I open my web browser, I am bombarded by stories against EV and some for EV. It's amazing how many bots have already...

    Likewise, thank you for the instructions! I did not know that I had to request a document from Tesla. I was able to follow the simple instructions to submit my request, but I'm not seeing a document section. Photo attached. How do I access the documets section?

    Thanks for posting this. Although I don't have the worry of going over 300,000 for 2023 (unfortunately), this is good information since, as you note, accountants may not be up on this. Also, I really appreciate you like on the My Electric Car music video posting. I will have more songs to...

    Electric new sales S-Curve

    Thanks for your interesting data. In America, its a real war. There are constant stories for and against EV's on my web browser home page. The unions are scared of losing high paying jobs, so Biden and democrats must bow to their wishes for re-election hopes. Misinformation and outright lies...
