The $10k is with the 30% already taken into account.

Thank you for all the responses! @charlesj was 100% correct - Tesla was having problems fitting additional panels on the roof. After several back and forth communications with them (yes, communication with Tesla is as bad as everyone says it is), I was able get them to understand that I was in...

I'm currently working with Tesla to get solar installed on my house. I've received the first design and they dropped my desired 9.6kW system down to 4.8kW (which will only offset 48% of my usage). I requested a design change with more panels and was almost immediately told that they couldn't...

Tesla waives the fee if they determine it's a warrantee fix.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but didn't smart summon require a map update? I would have thought all cars in the fleet would have it by now, but maybe you only get it if you have smart summon unlocked?

If 2020 has taught me one thing, it’s “stupidity needs no reason.”

Absolutely, 100% accept a 1 million dollar check :D

Anything can be had for free if you steal it...

In the past, if I left my car plugged in overnight, when I went to get in the next morning I would need to wake it up by lightly pressing one of the door handles before I could press the button on the wall connector wand and remove it. However, in the past month or so, I have been able to press...

In case you didn’t know, this is not something you want to do. If you need the extra range that you get from charging to > 90%, try to time it so that you finish charging right before you leave. You never want the battery to sit at 100%.

You can’t ignore whether or not EMF is safe, that’s the entire point of the thread. That’s like saying “I’m worried that humans will melt if they get wet; ignoring whether or not that’s actually true, I certainly would never live in Seattle.”

Meaning you think supercharging is unsafe?

More like 100 years for cigarettes - the first link to cancer from smoking was established in the 1920s.

He obviously thinks it's a big enough deal to specifically call it out and write a large paragraph about it.

I mostly agree with you, but my one nitpick is with the above. If you're doing extra driving just to run the battery down and recalibrate the BMS, then yes, you are "wasting cycles." If you were going to drive anyway and you skip recharging for a while in order to run the battery down, then...

This is the kind of thing that really drives me crazy. Obviously, bumpers shouldn't be falling off just by driving through a puddle. Also obvious that the owner has made some aftermarket modifications, which may or may not have contributed to this. The owner claims he was only driving 10-15...

I've had zero issues with it on my Model 3 (auto open and close). It opens or closes when I'm halfway in the driveway and halfway in the street.

They're not just for your own kids/pets. You never know when the neighbors kids or pets will wander over.

Exactly this. The sensors are supposed to be installed no higher than 6 inches off the ground. They’re not there to protect your car.

I've always wondered the origin of rollout, thanks for explaining it so well!

All of your options are good choices. If you don’t absolutely need the max charging rate, then using the ChargePoint you currently have is the most economical. If you’re going to spend money on a new Tesla connector, I would vote for the wall connector just because it’s convenient and looks...

I don’t accept the fact that a survey that puts power train issues on the same level as someone not knowing how to work their entertainment system has any real value.

Saw this on the 4th, what a jerk!

Can you link to the XM device you’re using? I’m having difficulty figuring out how what you’re saying adds up, but maybe it’s because I don’t have a clear idea what you’re using to listen to XM.

My kid broke the passenger side vanity mirror by moving the seat all the way up and forward. I had mobile service replace it, fully intending on paying for it, but they marked it as a warranty service.

Mine went up two miles (268 @90%) after being stable at 266 for about a year. I don't know if it was the update or the fact that I went to the lowest charge I've ever had that same day - down to ~30% while normally I never go below 50.

It would be nice if they would gradually increase the volume from 0 to your previous level.

I've always been too paranoid about scratching the paint to ever put things on the top of my car. Now I don't have to worry about it as much with the glass roof but I'm glad I never got into the habit. I have a coworker who has gone through several iPhones this way.

“All Tesla’s being produced right now...” He didn’t say all Tesla’s produced now and all Tesla’s in the future. There’s absolutely nothing in what he said that precludes Tesla from installing HW 2.5 in later cars. The only reason it was a problem in China was because Tesla was advertising...

I played it once, thought “this is a pretty cool game” and then downloaded it on my iPad.

I've never really had a reason to care about JDP until this report came out, but any quality ranking list that puts Dodge at the top and manufacturers like Toyota and Honda near the middle (not to mention boutique and luxury imports near the bottom) definitely rings my WTF bell. While I'm...

You can return it within 7 days as long as it has less than 1000 miles - doesn't matter (anymore) if you do a test drive. Return Policy

You will probably get roughly 25mi/hr using it (depends on the actual voltage to the unit, if it’s on a commercial 208V circuit you’ll be closer to 20 mi/hr). So it will cost you a buck a day to refill after your commute. The bigger issue for me would be the hassle of having to move the car...

Do you have any normal 15/20 amp outlets where you park? A lot of people don't realize you can charge from pretty much any electrical source; it doesn't have to be a special charging stall. I charged on a 15 amp outlet at an apartment for almost 2 years, it gave me enough juice to almost make...

Send that video in to Guinness World Records - the first time everyone properly zippered :D

I’m general email should work, but there’s no real standard for attachment sizes so it’s possible that you could run into issues with the files being to large. Uploading them to YouTube is a fairly trivial process, then you can just send out links. If you use Apple products then you have some...

What sort of crazy EV owners wouldn't want home charging? You Canadians, I swear... :p

Ouch, that's rough. Got to love massive government bureaucracies. Any chance 10 years of refunds would be worth a visit with a tax attorney?

I got my LR Dual Motor in October 2018. I paid $60k: $53,000 base price $1000 paint $5000 Enhanced Autopilot $1000 destination/documentation fee I was later able to upgrade to FSD for $2k when it was on sale. I don't know how much it would cost if I ordered it now. As for paying too much...

Yikes. Hope you don't have white seats...

Public non-Tesla chargers in the US generally use J1772 connectors. NEMA 14-50 outlets are common at RV parks.

Most places require a permit for any sort of electrical work.

Nowadays the cool kids say "HD DVD vs. Blu-ray" :p

Or more likely have no idea that you are even on an e-bike. Which is why I don’t get all the hate in this thread - these bikes are quiet and can’t go any faster than a decent rider can go on a normal bike.

No one's talking about motorcycles...

I wish we could rank our service visits in the app, so Tesla could know which areas need work. It sounds like it's a real crap shoot depending on which area you're in. I've had fantastic service from the Littleton, CO service center, and my mobile appointments have also been great.

He's also now gone and disagreed with my posts in like 6 separate threads :rolleyes: Some people have way too much free time...

If the carjacker was anything like the 90% of the people who get in my car for the first time, he had no idea how to open the door regardless of it being locked or not. :)

I thought I remember reading that the traffic light features were limited to the US, but I can’t find that now. Anyone know for sure?
