Brought in my 2018 lr rwd for the retrofit. They tried and said the car wouldn't accept the ECU. They said 2020 model 3s have different retrofit ecus, but that they made sure the one they ordered was compatible with my vin. They are ordering another one and will try again another day

I noticed this about 3 weeks ago. I've rebooted and had two updates since that went missing.

When powered frunk? I feel that would be more useful.

I wonder if this upgrade will be added to the referral program.

Ha.. In the roundabout to signal out Bjorn says the driver has to do a 'ninja' maneuver to hit the signal button

Not confused. When in a round about your wheel is no longer in the upright position. Now, when signaling your exit you need to find the signal button on an interface that may be upside down.

That's what I want to know too. There are so many roundabouts here. Turning left requires 2 signal actions in a round about. Signal your intention of a turn when entering the round about, and signaling the opposite direction to exit the round about. Without nav, how does it know which one you...

Just had my 12V replaced by a mobile service tech. It died last night (5+ year old original battery) and they dropped a new one in today. Super friendly. He said there are only 3 mobile techs in Southern Ontario. Not sure where the lines are drawn, but they are kept pretty busy.

Got mine may 19th 2018. Would have had it a week earlier but had some other engagements.. man was a I itching to pick it up! Still love this car after all these years. It has few squeaks and rattles. Had the control arm replaced early on. I wish I'd put the mud flaps on, I just now noticed...

I don't think one should expect to maintain status quo when using a new tech. Learn to use the new techniques when driving with new technology. Should someone coming from a stick shift "downshift" their automatic transmission when coming to a stop? No, use the tech as it was intended; don't...

Fair enough, options are nice. I just never saw the appeal of putting in the paddles., but to each their own.

Does disabling regen and coasting actually give you any better mileage than just adjusting the throttle appropriately? I doubt it. Just hold the pedal in the right place, or if you're on the highway use autopilot. High regen doesn't make for choppy driving, taking your foot completely off the...

Tesla solved that first problem. You should be able to see a whole bunch of other cars at superchargers soon because others are all dropping the CCS port. I've never understood the desire to have paddle shifters. One pedal driving is great. Personally I don't want one pedal and one paddle...

Pure energy minerals got permits approved for construction and operation of their direct lithium pilot plant: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/pure-energy-minerals-slb-receive-123000085.html

I'm sorry too. My thinking is once a scientist, always a scientist. :)

I guess you've never heard of peaker plants, or demand pricing?

This isn't what you asked about, and I don't know if anything like this exists for easy installation, but have you looked in to a waste water heat recovery system? I imagine you could pre warm the incoming water with the heat going down the drain from the washed loads.

What does 800v have to do with it? Doesn't it all come down to how much power the BMS is willing to push in to the battery at a given SOC? Chemistry and cooling would be the most crucial factor here, not whether you double the series attachment and apply double voltage. Each cell is still...

You're never in the car alone? Or do those rules apply then too? :p

Lol.. bone in chicken wings. "It's a feature, not a flaw". The bones in chicken wings are what stop me from ordering them most of the time.

I bet they'll be all sold out by the time they offer the retrofit option. I can't buy it because it's not supported on my model 3. :(

Isn't the point of the CCS adapter to have it when there isn't a Supercharger near by? How would you precondition in that case?

Hmm. Rubber mat? Mine is a 2018 and has a carpet in the frunk. Maybe that's why I observed no difference.

If it's making a difference to you that's all that matters. I know audio issues are difficult to measure and nail down. I recently (hopefully) resolved a whining issue in my car that people didn't notice until I specifically pointed out. I was able to use this app to demonstrate a 4kHz sound...

So I just filled my trunk well with a roll of foam, and in my frunk I put a memory foam pillow and then packed the rest of the frunn void with a duvet (yeah, real scientific). I then brought up a audio spectrum analyzer on screen and recorded a loop around the block: half traveling 60km/h on a...

Hmm.. I'll have to try again another time. I only had enough foil bubble wrap for the bottom of the frank. I see in your picture that you also put bubble wrap on the lid of the frank, I missed that. In the well of the trunk I filled it with a big roll of foam. Unfortunately I didn't notice a...

Interesting. I happen to have foil bubble wrap here from a shipment of food. Also I have rubber mats for horse stalls here. This warrants an experiment!

So after many years of experiencing the whine I finally got around to tightening the ground strap nut. I haven't driven it enough to know if the issue is gone, but I haven't heard it in two days now (well, I did hear it briefly, but I'd say it's a small fraction of what it was before). I want...

This is what tabless was meant to solve. Much higher dissipation path for both heat and current.

Well, they were paraphrasing Elon from the Q1 CC

A couple months ago I asked a Tesla sales rep about pricing and inflation and they replied as follows: That reply basically states that quoted price is present value inflation adjusted for delivery in the future... about 1 year. Quote = present value * (1 + inflation) If inflation is...

Well, if they got the insurance to pay for the replacement vehicle, it seems they'd be in the same place as before it got totalled. They'd own a Y, and owe the amount they owed before.

Yes, siblings are tax free, sibling in law are not. Parent in law are free. I know this because we recently sold my suv (registered to me) to my sister in law. She had to pay tax. Had my wife's name been on the ownership it would have been tax free.

German engineering, VW:

Tesla never sold them in North America. It's not yet officially supported here. Many people have been ordering them from Tesla Japan through various shipping box methods.

Snapshot of VIN on car, as well as picture showing range higher than 300mi should be a good starting point. But then the 2170 vs 4680 speculation would begin.

That's kind of jumping to conclusions based on a string in the app. There is no way they could make 50kWh go 279 miles. That's 179wh/mile. That's 59% the energy consumption of other model Ys. There is NO WAY this happened. Did we see the overall vehicle weight from by 59%? No Did we see aero...

Maybe if we post the real problem enough, people will stop coming here and saying "I tried something and now it works better". Musk explains the issue, and a fix is on the way:

Am I looking in the right thread? I don't see much reference to the Ioniq here lately.

I got a model S loaner when I brought in my model 3 (2018) for service. Based on that, I sure am happy I have a 3.

I modified the starting time of my current high peak to be 30 minutes later and now the tesla stats report basically 100% off peak. I think there is a "binning" error in their code.

Looks like there is so much more they can do to improve things and add new featurea, but it's nice to have a preview of what they're adding. One bug I found is that their time of use is incorrect. I added my utility provider's seasons and hours for off peak, mid, and peak times. The app looks...

Looks like nobody is touching this without concrete numbers showing positive direction. Even then, it might be the old playbook that they weren't positive enough.

Man, this thing is purely bear dominated now. How can it be up 10% premarket, and red during normal hours? High volume too.

I'm not a fan of how everything seems hidden in menus. In order to adjust window defog, defrost, or seat heaters we now have to open the climate menu. I liked these better as single tap buttons. Also, I activated the side view camera on turn, now when I signal to turn in my driveway, that...

Cool, can you point out the instructions? I wouldn't know where to start.

I have a food distributor near by and they sell the burgers in 40 packs. It comes in a big box with one big plastic bag. It feels like much less plastic waste, but I haven't measured the mass. As for the smell, it is definitely different than meat, but I actually enjoy the smell when opening a...
