Gonna lay out a scenario and if people could chime in on which would be "better" for my safety score, would be much appreciated. Scenario: Driving 100 miles on the highway, receive a FCW warning during the drive Drive A: receive 1 FCW while driving 5 miles manually, then 95 miles on AP of...

So I have a Pixel 6 and have charged it wirelessly in my Model 3 using the factory wireless charging pad. However, once the summer temps have kicked in, I've noticed that I usually get very little charge when using the car's wireless charging pad. I think my phone heats up to the point it stops...

I remember years back reading an article about how business owners could apply for destination charging installs where Tesla would cover (some or all) of the installation costs and/or the charging units too. Is this program still a thing? My father-in-law runs a small business and is looking...

Ever since I updated to 2022.8.3, I've had issues with the trunk only opening 1/3 or 1/2 before stopping. I've done the "adjust trunk opening height, hold button 3 seconds to re-set the open/close position" but I've had the trunk go back to opening only 1/2 way 2 more times now. Anyone else...

Reserved a white LR Model 3 in late October prior to the most recent $1k price hike, deciding not to take delivery as BBB has not been passed. If it is possible, willing to "sell" the reservation to someone to take delivery at the Owings Mills Tesla store for just $250 (my paid order fee). DM if...

Say I put in an order for a Model 3/Y right now....if I decide next year that I want to wait for a Cybertruck instead of getting a 3/Y, can I have my order fee transferred to a new Cybertruck order? Or would I need to put in a separate order for a CT and I'm SOL on the $250 fee for the 3/Y?

So my L2 home EVSE went kaput a couple days ago, so yesterday I pulled out my UMC to trickle charge at 120V....but the car wouldn't charge. The following message appeared on my center screen: Tried a different outlet, tried rebooting the car, same result. So I decided to go out to a public L2...

So quick backstory: I had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in my garage a little over 3 years ago as I had just moved into my new house and needed an outlet for my EVSE to charge my at-the-time Bolt. Used the outlet to charge @240V/32A with a Tesla Gen 2 UMC + Jdapter for over 2 years no problems...

Anyone know roughly how many microchips Tesla uses per car? I would assume the S and X use more than the 3 and Y, but anyone have ballpark figures? I read an article that said Ford was using up to 3,000 microchips per Mach-E (compared to ~300 per gas vehicle of theirs).

Was on my usual commute this morning and was in the far right lane and saw a dump truck in the far left lane. Was gonna speed up to change into the middle lane, but the dump truck did that first. Before I knew it, the dump truck was ahead of me and dumping rocks all over the place!! Couldn't...

So I've now managed to curb 2 of the 4 tire rims in my 3 week old SR+. :( These rims are curb magnets! Can someone recommend touchup paint for a 21's stock aero wheels?

Is there a clear cut "best" 3rd party app? I know several are out there (Tezlab, Tessie, TeslaFi (not technically an app, I know). I'm trying out Tessie's free trial and it seems pretty sleek. Also watched a video review of Tezlab and seems pretty interesting too, though seems to offer a lot of...

Can anyone recommend a tint shop in the Hoco area (or one in one of the surrounding counties)? I'm not looking for the cheapest price, but a place that does quality work and is very familiar with Teslas. I'm supposed to pick up a Model 3 later this week and pretty much want to drop it off at a...

So due to some unexpected events with my Bolt and its HV battery recall, it looks like I will be having GM repurchase my Bolt (for waaaay more than it is otherwise worth). Assuming I proceed, that means I'll need some new wheels. I love the Bolt and everything, but it would be nice to have...

Has anyone successfully filed their tax return online and claimed the EV tax credit via TurboTax or any other online preparer? I was told that TurboTax had finally updated form 8936 a few days ago, so I went and knocked out my tax return last night and hit submit. In the morning, I found a...

You can bet these fast charging stations will be CCS only. First on CNN Business: GM and Bechtel plan to build thousands of electric car charging stations across the US - CNN

How many Tesla owners would be OK with Tesla opening up their network to other manufacturers? The manufacturer would have to pay whatever fee Elon would deem acceptable and manufacture an adapter. Let's also assume a portion of the money generated by such an agreement would go towards building...

Hello, I received my Tesla Gen 2 Mobile Connector this weekend, and am planning on getting a 240V outlet (NEMA 14-50) installed. If anyone in the area has a recommendation for an electrician, it'd be most appreciated. Thanks! I figure I need an outlet wired for 40A, as the MC is rated at 32A max.

Murphy's law seems to have kicked in last month. :eek: Monthly Update for April 2018 - 2017 Tesla Model 3 Long-Term Road Test

I will soon be moving into a new townhouse, so I'm planning on having a L2 EVSE installed (either re-install my current Clipper Creek LCS-25 or buy a new one). It is a townhouse and has a 1 car attached garage. Any use of electricity in the garage is charged to my utility bill, so no issue about...

Sounds like a steal with only a $2k deposit. :)

I want to upgrade my Bolt EV 60D to a P60D, but I need a "P". Anyone have one laying around they could spare to sell? Possibly people that debadged their Teslas? ;) Let me know via PM!

Electrify America announced details of its plan to install 2,000 fast charging stations throughout the US by the end of 2019. According to their statement, CHAdeMO plugs will be limited to 50 kW, while the CCS stations will be 50-350 kW capable. Also, the 350 kW stations seem like they will be...

Chevrolet Showed Off A Battery-Electric Performance Vehicle At Dealer Meeting Something along the lines of an all-electric Corvette or Camaro would certainly turn heads. Though the comment about it possibly being a crossover is interesting. Could this performance EV be some kind of Bolt on...

Watched this video of an owner in the UK that states he has experienced neutered fast charging rates in his '18 40 Kwh Leaf after just a couple of quick charges (mind you it is still very cool in the UK). Said that an Ioniq Electric beat his '18 Leaf in a 400 mile road trip by 3 hours (!) due to...

Ford's future 300-mile all-electric performance SUV: what we know From the bits and pieces we get from the article, sounds like this 300 mile range EV SUV will be a Model X competitor. I would think it would be sold under the Lincoln badge if that is Ford's intent. Not holding my breath though...

Tesla Model 3 quality is terrible, but will it matter to buyers? During the test itself, two things became clear: The Model 3 works largely as intended, and the build quality was the worst we have seen on any new car from any maker over the last 10 years.

EVgo Lowers Prices For DC Fast Charging Of Electric Vehicles New shutoff time is 45 minutes (60 minutes for subscribers during off-peak hours). About damn time, I say. Also, if I'm understanding correctly, the new $9.99 monthly fee will also cover the first $9.99 in charging fees for the month...

Used Tesla Model 3 Posted On Craigslist For $150,000 Quite the deal! Lol

Twenty new electric vehicles are on the way, GM says And 2 new BEVs based off the Bolt will be released in the next 18 months. One of them is probably the Buick-based Bolt, not sure what the other may be. The Volt (and any other EREVs) and plain hybrids are not counted towards the total. A few...
