    Anyone want to help modify a Radio Flyer Model S?

    Hi, reviving this old thread to see if anyone was able to get variable speed pedal working? Either by hacking the stock switch or replacing it.

    Android Wear

    Is it possible to change the units to Celcius for climate control? It shows Celsius and Kilometers in car stats but shows Farenheit in the climate control window. (Galaxy Watch 4)

    Summons close call Model X

    Also, the FOB will always abort summon, even if you initiated it from app. Even here in Europe where we can only start summon from the app.

    Volt should use a turbine..?

    Using a turbine to generate electricity is exactly what Tesla co-founder Ian Wright thought of too, so he created Wrightspeed

    How fast can a Supercharger charge?

    In Europe the superchargers are up to 120kW and up to 330Amps. The KM/h reading for charging is deceiving because it is a calculated average, not a real-time number. So if you share charger and someone leaves, your speed goes up but the KM/h creeps slowly up over time. My personal record is...

    Would a D Model S make it up this hill?

    Any car with proper winter tires would have handled that better. Tires matter more than awd or 4wd. Do you se the big 4wd truck sliding backwards? All cars have brakes on 4 wheels, but with no grip that does not matter. In parts where this kind of weather is common, you get cars with snow tires...

    If you could, would you rollback to 7.0?

    No. AP is massively improved in 7.1 over 7.0, and also, I would never give up Spotify!

    Preparing for the New Jersey Winter (Snow Removal from Model S)

    Try and keep your car clean so you don't push around sand and grime when you push the snow off. Also, most days, preheating is all you need for the windows and roof. You will only need to brush the frunk and trunk.

    What purpose does the cavity behind the front "T" serve?

    And we have a winner! No but seriously though, my money is on cooling/aero. Interested to see what happens to snow and ice in there during the winter, but if there is a heat-emitting radiator down there it probably won't be a problem. After all, most ICE vehicles have an open radiator in the...

    TypicalCalc - App that calculates required charge based on your cars typical value

    This looks like a very useful app. One feature request would be that you add a dropdown where you select your car whether it's 60, 70, 70D, 85, 85D, P85D, 90D, P90D or P90DL. I assume most of theese have different calculation values. In addition to the dropdown you could have a manual imput box...

    Charging Etiquette

    How much paint protection is too much?

    When you get a noticeable drop in range due to the extra weight, that's when you have enough paint protection ;)

    Chevy Bolt test mule photographed

    The camo is to make it harder to spot details in the finish and shape of the car because the black and white pattern hides most shadows and details. You see the car clearly, but the overall appearance is still masked.

    Intetresting photo on Tesla's Facebook Page

    This is the so-called "Rated" range on european 85 and 85D according to the NEDC cycle test. Here's a few screenshots from the norwegian and british webpage. Theese show a slightly lower range, but those extra few KM's probably don't mean anything important..?

    European or Canadian P85D owners

    In my 85 I can choose between "Energy" or "Range", and in range I can choose between "Rated" or "Typical". Last time my 85 was charged to 100% rated showed 499km and typical showed 399km. Rated is based on the european new NEDC testing standard. See screenshot from the norwegian website. So...

    Road-Trip Noorwegen 15-22 September

    Your plan to sleep in "Hytter" (Cabins) is probably the best for a group your size. Many campgrounds have cabins, and here you should also have access to power. The route you have picked looks overall very good. I would agree that you take the ferry from stavanger, but perhaps drive from...

    Road-Trip Noorwegen 15-22 September

    Norwegian here. Didn't understand all you wrote, but from looking at the picture it looks like you are planning to take a ferry from Bergen to Stavanger, then from Stavanger to Hirthals.

    Showing the map on the Tesla console: The mobile webapp could be better optimized for the Tesla browser. Tesla's browser is very slow and requires big buttons to navigate easily.

    Best Tesla Browser Apps: Propose Setting Up Quarterly Recognition Award

    This would be really great. It should be split in two categories though. Webapps designed for the Tesla screen, and webpages designed for other screens. Like EV Trip planner for example does not play well on my tesla's screen but looks great on my computer and is an invaluable tool!

    Question for Norwegian: Total price of a base 85D.

    That is correct. The price you see is what we pay. Only an annual 450 NOK road tax and compulsory insurance is added to that. This seems cheap to us norwegians as a 535i xDrive Sedan e.g. would have a base price of 874,800.00 NOK (ref: BMW Norge - bilkonfigurator)
