    Power Sharing Question that I can't find the answer to

    You can wire it up for 100 amps and even use a 100 amp breaker (either main breaker or backfeed breaker) in the subpanel. Since you only have 60 amp capacity, you can put a 60 amp breaker on your load center (main panel) to feed the subpanel. That is enough to prevent the whole thing from...

    What's happening here? Too cold for Superchargers?

    Strange that it took a youtuber going there themselves in order to get details on this incident. I would've thought that the news organizations would have sent a reporter to investigate. Since Fox did go and get quotes from ppl there.

    What's happening here? Too cold for Superchargers?

    If it truly is the case that a frozen car can warm up and then start charging after an hour, then someone needs to correct the Fox News article. Since it is also being picked up by other news outlets. It essentially states that ppl have been trying to charge for hours or days and are still...

    What's happening here? Too cold for Superchargers?

    Okay I watched the video. To summarize, the heat pumps don't work very well when it's cold outside. So if the car is cold, it's not going to be able to heat up, even if plugged into a supercharger. Based on that, it doesn't even matter what the state of charge is. You could be at 50% battery...

    What's happening here? Too cold for Superchargers?

    What I mean is, why can't it charge when it's too cold? I get that the battery needs to be heated up first. But why can't that happen while the car is connected to the supercharger? The fact that cars are being abandoned indicates that despite being plugged in, the car can't be heated up and...

    Over Donnor Summit, CA with M3 AWD during a chain control

    There was a break in the snow yesterday so I drove east from Sac to Reno last night. The road was dry (no snow or water), so the stock all-weather tires were mostly fine. There was no chain control at that time. However, there was a 100ft patch of black ice which my tires slipped on. Luckily, I...

    Model Y Windshield Haze

    My old BMW does that still (18 yrs old now). But my newish MYLR hasn't done it yet. (over the past 5 months of owning it). Maybe it's bc I have the white seats? What color seats do you have?

    Matrix Headlights on LR Y?

    If it's any consolation, you probably got the new comfort suspension, which is much more valuable. (I'm saying this as someone who got the matrix lights but not the suspension).

    Vendor Delivering (Even More) Peace of Mind: Recell To Offer 4-Year / 50,000 Mile Warranty On Certified Battery Packs

    Yes, that's what I meant. There's something about the way their site is configured that is causing my work's firewall to see it as parked and thus block it. Not a big deal for me since I can access it from home, but figured they'd want to know.

    A good time to purchase a Wall Connector?

    Yes, removing the EVSE would be an option too. Especially if the buyer has no interest in BEVs. But it may be worthwhile amenity to include. My point was that even if they do plan to leave the EVSE when selling, they can still pick either type now, as leaving an adapter would allow the Tesla...

    A good time to purchase a Wall Connector?

    Certainly, if the buyer is able to do some DIY things, then having the wires is enough. But some people are uncomfortable with that. (My uncle brings his car do the dealer to change the license plate bulb, out of warranty...) So for them, a small (insignificant in terms of the price of a house)...

    In terms of a home sale, one could optionally include both the EVSE and J1772 adapter with the house. Then the buyer would be able to charge anything.

    A good time to purchase a Wall Connector?

    The Tesla Wall Connector would need an adapter to charge non-Teslas. They seem to run around $120-160 The Massimo would need an adapter to charge Teslas. This one comes free with all Teslas, or sells for $50 for an additional one. Since steph mentioned that they will be charging both a Tesla...

    I recently picked up a new MYLR. The coupon they give you is bc the car no longer comes with a mobile connector.

    A good time to purchase a Wall Connector?

    Costco has the Massimo 50A EVSE on sale right now for $499. Looks like a good deal for a high amperage EVSE for in between the prices of the two different Tesla Wall Connnectors. Also appears to be "smart" in that it can link up to wifi. Note that this EVSE does not include a 14-50 plug. So you...

    Why is supercharger pricing not shown?

    Instead of navigating to the supercharger, you have to just click it as a point of interest. So on the right, you can select the pointed oval point of interest button. Then you can select the supercharger. Sorry it is hard to describe in words, but play around with that (and unselecting the...

    Vredestein Space Master spare

    Yes. I think once you remove the bucket, it will be exposed (painted) metal. Which might look a little strange (or not, depending on your preferences). Is your bucket not covered in carpet? Mine is a thin carpet. Although it is slightly different than the trunk carpet, I think it is similar...

    Vredestein Space Master spare

    Since you found a matching carpet material, perhaps you could cover the bottom of the under-trunk with it (after the stock liner has been removed). So that it won't look too strange for anyone who lifts up the trunk cover.
