    2014 P85 HV failure.

    I don't need a person striving to be a bot to tell me my options. I got quotes and went with what I thought was the best option for my scenario.

    2014 P85 HV failure.

    In another thread I posted in failing 12volt came up. It is over 4 years old, and I already had it added to the quote due to age. I am not holding my breath on getting off cheap.

    Wire size for wall charger

    It is critical that when spending $50k on a car you make sure to spend bare minimum on charging infrastructure, the $50 "saved" by making sure you go as small as possible on wire is going to be the $50 that makes.you financially sound later.

    48 amps and battery health

    When thinking of fast vs slow charging think about the time to charge from empty to full. Is 5-6-7hours to fully charge from empty fast charging? No it's not, not even close.

    Million Miles tease / hint?

    The million mile car thing is delusion, the rest of the car is just a car and nowhere near up to the task. Yes it can happen but won't ever be a regular thing and if you can put down the kool aid you will find out some ice go 300-400-500k miles

    Problem with “Depart at” charging

    I had a loaner 3 few weeks ago and currently working weekends, the "depart at 5:30am" worked every time far as cabin preheat, but was inconsistent if charging was done. My P85 on the other hand is finishing charging an hour early and I have been manually preheating the cabin because when I...

    Considering Selling my F-150 Raptor for Model 3 Performance

I had a 3 for 2 weeks while my P85 was in for service, I couldn't imagine owning one yes the handling is nimble but I just found it too small. I have a wife and two girls and 4 days a week I pick up 4 kids...

    Heating - air con vs fan

    The point about running the AC to keep the system lubricated might have been a thing a decade before Tesla was conceived but isn't a thing today and hasn't been for along time. The AC is part of battery cooling and I am sure the car does periodic readiness checks at startup. I think some of...

    The 50 dead every weekend is a false equivalence but the 25+ dead in the 500 riots this summer is not. I also question the 5 dead since only 2 seem to be connected to the violence. I think they need to charge everyone involved in political violence but let's do it in chronological order...

    Wireless charging the batteries?

    Wireless charging the batteries?

    If Tesla's goal is sustainability and power savings why offer a charging option that is less efficient? Different vehicles of different efficiencies serve different purposes, so it is justifiable to build a 3 and a CT but wireless charging wastes energy for very small convenience gains.

    Wireless charging the batteries?

    I will admit not having researched it much since my initial curiosity several years ago lead to me to figures like 20% wasted as heat. Quick search today lead me to articles suggesting 94-97% is possible today which is great. One even said 97% at 120kw in the lab, which would make me wrong...

Pure delusion, wired is more efficient and will remain the primary way cars charge. I didn't buy a Tesla for efficiency but I do appreciate that aspect, going wireless throws out...

    Cybertruck Home Charging - New Onboard Charger?

    Not everyone lives on a coast. Consider the CT is going to be hungry. The gen 3 WC is rated to give the 3 44mph but the X just 30 from the same connection, stands to reason the CT will be less efficient yet even without being used as a truck. I don't think most people are considering increased...

    Adding Charger at Work

    I could tell you lived in Cali before clicking your profile. The local employer I know of with restricted Chargepoints has 1000 employees and only ever seen 2 different EVs there........ In Cali sure 2/20 isn't enough, but elsewhere would be completely reasonable.

    Frequent R&R of 14-50 plugs is not good so I would do a hardwired J1772. Do you have concerns about public use?

    ABRP Planning with Roof Cargo Box

    Cybertruck charging

    @Feathermerchan So you would argue against overkill even at time of construction? I think one detail folks are overlooking is that miles added per hour is going to be lower in the CT than everything else given the same supply. A 60amp wall connector is rated at 44mph for a 3 but only 30 for an...

    Cybertruck charging

    I would do thicker wire, in the scope of building a house the cost of a little thicker wire is nothing. The CT has the potential to be very hungry if used as a truck, you wont regret having capacity to feed it whatever it can take, plus EVs are only becoming more common amd eventually the...

    Regen braking weakened?

    Temps below about 50f can begin to reduce regenerative braking. The pack is heavy so it will lag temp wise vs ambient. Also the heat pump equipped cars are being reported to over scavenge heat from the battery.

    Choosing A Tesla Home-charging Option

    One overlooked reason for buying something is to have a backup. Never know when something will fail, be broken, stolen or vandalized. Maybe your backup is a neighbor's connection, nearby public L2 or at work. That was one of the reasons I bought a wall connector, my UMC is now the backup. I...
