    Tesla v. Diesel in Europe, out of General.

    Electricity prices in Europe are also a multiple of the cost of electricity in the US. When looking at the cost per mile based on fuel consumption a Tesla is not that much better than a Diesel (when considering european prices).

    Homelink Gate opener

    I can't get my Model 3 to learn my community gate opener. I already tried fresh batteries. It did learn my regular garage opener with no problems. Any one else had this issue ? Any suggestions ? My model S had no problem learning both remotes btw so I think the Model 3 would/should do as well.

    Why does Tesla use a Resistance Heater instead of Heat Pump

    I was wondering why Tesla doesn't use a more efficient way such as a heat pump for the cabin heater as the resistance heater eats up the Range significantly. I am sure there is a reason other than cost, does anyone know ?

    Battery Capacity

    I have a P85+ and I recently drove the Battery down to 1% and then charged it overnight to 100%. Per Remote S app I added 71Kwh to the Battery. Is there a way to tell how much my battery degraded over time with this information? I am not sure how accurate the 71KwH added from Remote S is.

    Temperature UMC vs Wall Connector

    My UMC gets incredibly hot when charging at 30-40 amps. Mainly the cable between the wall Plug and the UMC. It gets piping hot and from what I am hearing that is considered normal. Service center checked it and says that is normal. The Wiring Cable going to the 14/50 outlet only warms up very...

    Tripplanner for Phone App

    Make usage of Battery at the end of vehicle life

    Are there already companies that convert our existing Tesla Battery packs into a home storage solution? Expecting that my pack P85 will still have more than 50% storage capacity in 8-10 Years I would think it makes sense to use the Pack as a large powerwall ? Has anyone done anything like this...

    Why does the car not reduce it's harge rate after 3 hours to 80% ?

    Just a question regarding the 80% load on continous draw. Why wouldn't the car charge at full load 3 hours and then ramp down to 80%, especially on low charging cirquits Like the Nema 5-15 or Nema 5-20 that are often only used to get a little charge in to reach a supercharger or such it would...

The car starts charging at 40 amps and 248 Volts and once it's ramped up the Service voltage is around 242Volts. The car keeps charging...

    My version of the Quick 220. Charges safely at 12 amps continuously. Of course the car has to be dialed down to 12 amps and one should know what they are doing when handling.
