Also remember, Tesla is prohibited by law from delivering any vehicles in the state of Texas. All vehicles have to be "purchased" out of state and then delivered to the customer. My assumption is these are headed out of state and headed to fleet owners (and why you didn't see any real owners at...

Looks like a total of 16 chargers in 4 pre-fab units. Photo taken on March 14 (today). Sure wish some were pull-through spaces for towing trailers, but any Supercharger at a Buc-ee's is a welcome addition.

Clown I may be, but in the great state of Texas, any item purchased after a marriage begins, including vehicles, real estate, or collection of whoopee cushions is jointly owned regardless of who's name in on the loan, title or deed. Here's the statue: FAMILY CODE CHAPTER 3. MARITAL PROPERTY...

You show your location as Houston. Texas is a community property state which has signifiant bearing on your plan. Under Texas law, all of the property and earnings of both spouses acquired during the marriage is considered to be community property (property owned together by the spouses). It...

No idea about the contracting or legal process, but construction has not yet started.

Superchargers at Buc-ee's are ideal. So glad to see these moving along.

Tesla notified the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation the completion date is set for December 31. https://electrek.co/2021/11/22/tesla-files-gigafactory-texas-approval-reveals-budget-first-phase/

According the the EPA, the Mach-E is a small station wagon... but I think anything slightly taller than a Yugo is marketed as a CUV these days.

I'll get downvoted into oblivion, but I don't really see an issue here. What was your opinion after driving the Mach-E on the track? Most of these are just observations and opinions. His MY may have had those issues - or perhaps he is embellishing. It's option... As for AP vs BlueCruise, I...

There is a new two stall CSS/CHAdeMO charger running 112.5 kW listed over on the new Brookshire Brothers at 455 George Bush Dr W, in College Station. It's an option if you have the CSS adapter. No idea why they installed a CHAdeMO at this point, but that's what it is. Looks like you need the...

1. I also agree about the Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivan recommendation. We rented the non-hybrid version on vacation in Yellowstone and it was great. Would absolutely do that again. 2. In the terms of the order agreement, Tesla states: "We may also cancel your order and refund your Order...

Just as long as you are not putting others at risk. In the big scheme of things, a yoke isn't that dangerous, but it's certainly not safer.

And.. personal injury lawyers have been suing everyone right, left, and center. Is that a risk you are willing to take to swap out a wheel for a yoke - especially given that your insurance may or may not cover you if they also deem it an illegal modification under DOT FMVSS?

Changes or modifications to your vehicle must use DOT compliant parts to be street legal. Specifically, modifications and parts must comply with 49 CFR Subpart B - Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. For example, if you wanted to make your Model Y into convertible and chopped the top off...

Exactly this. I'm all for style, but why make something less useful? What function does it add?

Until the vehicle is upgraded to variable ratio steering, I too see zero value beyond being "different" and a lot of reasons why to not do it. You're still doing hand-over-hand steering -- just without half the wheel to grab.

Walked by the location yesterday and there were no signs yet of any activity whatsoever. The good news is all restaurants, both on campus and off, are back to full operation - some well into the evening over in Century Square.

Purchased private sale? That sounds about about right. Motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25 percent. Tax alone would be $3,125 for a $50K transaction.

Our daughter is prone to motion sickness as well. Driving on autopilot and aggressive regen in stop and go traffic are the triggers. Chill mode helps.

I use these and they work wonderfully.

Just gotta get the low temp stuff. SuperTech All Season Windshield Washer Fluid -40°C

Indeed. Thank you again for reminding/informing us.

Why do the emergency handles need to be inoperable when the power is on? Just add a switch that also triggers the window to drop when the power is on. Then it works power-on or power-off. My aging mother-in-law still tries to pull the emergency handle to get out of the front passenger seat even...

Or, you know, Tesla could just make actual door handles that also drop the window a bit when pulled. Commence flaming... ;)

Right up until you are in an emergency and muscle memory reaches for the part of the wheel that isn't there.

Until it works correctly, the yoke is an absolute NOPE for me. As implemented, It's just silly. The only thing it does help with is an unobstructed view of the dash, which the 3/Y don't have.

It's not just the yoke, but also the removal of the stalks that consequently added buttons to the yoke (left and right turn-signal buttons; wipers, etc). I'm sure someone will eventually come up with a swap, but for now, it's not an option.

The yoke kills the Model S refresh for me. If they ever get it to work as it work as it should, I might reconsider but as is, it's just a steering wheel without the wheel.

When we sold (private sale) our Model 3 with FSD nobody wanted to pay even a dime more for it. It sold at the same price as other non-FSDs. The resale value was good and we purchased FSD during the $2,000 sale at the end of 2018 so it wan't a huge loss, but I agree that FSD isn't worth much in...

Great work. Appreciate the craftsmanship.

IMO, doing the entire body is overkill, but the nose, hood and mirrors are worth it to protect from clear coat etching from bug guts, chips from rocks, etc. You can polish it out, even repaint, but that all takes time and effort where PPF is one and done.

Best advice I ever received was to never take out a loan on a depreciating asset (like a vehicle). Get something you can pay cash for now and make monthly payments to yourself for the next one.

Watch the wind! A strong West Texas wind will drop your range faster than a Baptist heading to Luby's. :) While now exceeding 105 pages, there is some great advice in the Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas thread. Check out the 14-50r plug in at the alpinewindmillhouse.com and two at The...

There are also J1772 and Tesla Destination chargers in the Marina Parking Lot in Wharton Lakes if the border ever reopens.

The F-150 Lighting is made in Dearborn, Michigan but I thought the Mach-E was made in Cuautitlán, Mexico so I don't think it would qualify would it?

Agree those black T logos look great. IMO, the Dual Motor badge needs to go completely. It's not only pretentious, it's completely unnecessary.

Oh Canada... how I miss thee. Hopefully we can reopen the border soon...

If you didn't already own the roof box, I'd suggest a rear hitch box. They're quite a bit more efficient being tucked down below the slipstream. https://www.stowaway2.com/vehicle-fit-gallery/tesla

There are two 11.5 kW Tesla chargers at CapRock Hospital on Briarcrest I believe. There is also a "Nissan No Charge To Charge" 7.2 Kwh in the West Campus Garage. Pretty slim options regardless.

Still is a permitted lot. I'd assume these spaces are exempt while charging. Would be nice to have a bank of Level 2 changers that could be used during football games or for other longer duration stays. Nevertheless, this is a much welcome addition.

It is a logical location, albeit unexpected. TAMU is about the only real destination in BCS and it's not that far from the bypass for travelers. I assumed it would be closer to the eventual I-14 and Hwy 6 intersection, but this is located in the center of town and the most urbanized area we...

Those who do are not allows to share it publicly.

This bill has a LONG way to go before it might be ready for vote. It's not even made its way out of the House Ways and Means committee yet. Then there is a similar process in the Senate. Assuming both versions are successful, time is needed for reconciliation of both versions. On a normal...

The US has good air quality overall -- mostly because all the open land in the great plains and mountain west provides for a much lower population density when you lump it all together. Cities, especially around major highways, can be significantly worse. Some cities, notably those in Southern...

We did a fair amount of camping in our Chevy Volt and now with our Tesla. We usually stay at state or federally managed campgrounds that have toilets and power. 50 Amp works for our Tesla but we could make 30Amp work with the Volt.

At least it's still on the map. Beaumont and several other Texas locations fell off the map.

I'd give it less than 5% but we're still going to wait until after 1/1. Given that the GOP senate is focused on money for business bailout, this could be one that are open to. One trillion+ is a lot of money that has to be spent on something. At the end of the day, it's a bet that cost nothing...
