    Has anyone replaced the rearview mirror? Mine has always had the dimmer switch busted so at night the glare from headlights (especially the obnoxious idiots with their high beam on) makes it difficult. I’ve seen some universal ones online that have auto dimming function, but not sure if they’d...

    NEMA outlet vs EVSE

    I had an electrician over on Friday and got the wiring done for adding 240V charging in my garage. He put in a sub panel which can handle up to 60A. Initially I had just wanted a 30A outlet for the Roadster but then thought about future proofing a bit in case we get another EV down the line...

    Got to test drive a Roadster and as a bonus, a Model 3!

    A big thanks to @ViviV for setting up this amazing opportunity for me over the weekend! As expected the car blew my mind in many ways and definitely solidified my choice to, "join the club." And as a bonus, I got to drive (and autopilot) the Model 3. I'm glad I drove the Roadster first, but...
