Hello, Newbie here. I've successfully installed on a RPi 4 and can boot up and see and log into the wifi network. I can pull up Autokit and it shows me the screen to "connect device". I have a Carlinkit CPC200-U2W plus and plug that into one of the USB-A ports of the RPi 4 (other end is...

Was at the Evans SC a few weeks ago and they too have heard what vpblur states: shooting for January 2020. Incidentally, even the SC are kept in the dark about HW3 arrivals but they stated they have "shipping orders" whatever that means.

Exterior shell is pretty well completed now. Hard to believe this won't be open in Q1 2019, given how much progress they've made in the last 3 months.

FYI I sent my jeda charger back as it warped so much that it wouldn't stay stable. That was 2 months ago. No refund check yet. Meanwhile, I happily own a Nomad (v1) and it's working terrifically. YMMV.

I did 3000 miles in 8 days over July 4 in TM3. Was so easy and a pleasure that I can't wait to do it again. Having driven a Volt for 4 years and constantly paying attention to where chargers are, you couldn't pay me enough to take a Bolt on a long trip.

By the way, I did remove the logos and filled the holes with clear epoxy and it is 1000x better. Incidentally, taking out the mats that come with the Model 3 also makes the Kagu fit and look much better. These are excellent mats.

For those that aren't scientists, the most provocative data is that we know the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere is from human activity. You don't have to claim coincidence. Why? Carbon isotope ratios of the CO2 that is in the atmosphere. Of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere since 1950...

I think I understand now. With some back of napkin calculations, this seems like an attractive option for me, even without Tesla charging included. Based upon the assumptions that about 1/3 of PV production is during peak hours and 60% during shoulder, I should actually end up saving over 50%...

I have all the data I need to be able to calculate this: Optimus 14.190kW | Live Output You are correct in assuming that, for the year, I only produce about 70% of consumption (obviously more in the summer). I calculated TOU for July and for last January based upon the Peak, Shoulder, and Off...

Sorry, I think I replied before seeing your post. In looking at my data and calculating retrospectively, option 1 ends up costing me more on my power bill without the flexibility I currently have. Option 2, if true, may be worth it as excess PV generated during peak should offset more than 1:1...

Is my excess generation (which is usually not greater than consumption for an entire month) worth “ more” with TOU or is it all the same? That is the key for me trying to decide to switch or not.

FYI, I have pretty meticulous energy consumption and production stats for the past 8+ years on my home in Colorado. I can apply the TOU rates to historical data. With no changes in habits (I have a 14.2kW PV array and a Model 3 and Volvo TC60 TD Hybrid as well as geothermal HVAC), TOU is about...

In trying to compare apples to apples, I'm trying to figure out what else Xcel is including in the bill. In other words, if you switch to TOU, are the charges for the following ALSO added to the bill? Trans Cost Adj Elec Commodity Adj Demand Side Mgmt Cost Purch Cap Cost Adj CACJA Renew. Energy...

Thanks for the reply. I have been on traditional residential pricing, but it seems to me that because PV production occurs at shoulder or peak rates, it would make sense for PV owners to switch to TOU. Especially if EV charging occurs between 9pm-9am.

I am curious if TOU pricing changes your net metering for solar production. I am on net metering (2010) and want to make sure my favorable production rates (same as consumption) aren't altered by this new program.

From what I've seen, I prefer to give this company the benefit of the doubt. If there is something defective about their product, I'm sure they will stand behind it. If I do something stupid to damage their product and claim it's their fault - that's another matter. I doubt removing the 3D...

I'm pretty comfortable with that if true. There are a minimal number of moving parts in a floor mat.

I just drove 3000 miles on a road trip through the Western US National Parks. Never had a need or desire for CHAdeMO or CCS, despite being in some pretty remote areas without even cell coverage. There are plenty of level 2s, Nema 14-50s and regular outlets to fill the need. I was sure I was...

Anyone else bothered by the positioning of the rear proximity notification on the screen? If you have any card open (ie trip odometer or tire pressure) and you are backing up you can't see the rear proximity distance. Tesla should move the rear proximity up so it is easily viewable regardless...

I removed mine. The tiny holes left are nearly invisible. MUCH better without the stupid 3D ginormous logos.

Oh yes, I'm very familiar with all of the EV trip planners :) I used A Better Routeplanner extensively to plan the trip (Yellowstone->Yosemite->Sequoia->Grand Canyon->Arches) and every hotel I'm staying in has a destination charger as well. I even watch supercharge.info to see what new...

Call me a whiner. But I configured on April 18, assuming that the 3-6 week delivery window was "reasonably" accurate. My existing car will be gone June 4 (6.5 weeks after configure). Okay, not great timing. But I have a 4,000 mile road trip planned at the end of June that cannot be...

You're complaining about Elon while the president of the country is a somewhat delusional idiot? Go back to dabbling in vitreous.

This is incorrect as there are iPhone battery cases that take lightning input on Amazon. I own one and it works fine.

I am in total agreement with you BUT there are many that do NOT want Tesla and the Model 3 to succeed and will jump on and sensationalize every possible piece of negative information. I think Tesla is smart to minimize any public assessment or review of the Model 3 with the UI at such an early...

I think one of the issues here is that a number of Tesla enthusiasts really want the EV revolution to succeed for a variety of reasons (ie energy independence, national security, climate change, etc). And they see any negativity towards the Model 3 as a threat to that infrastructure change. On...

The negativity is not Elon's fault - it's YOURS. Just because you expect Tesla to 150% achieve his already ambitious and somewhat unrealistic timeline does not force YOU to be so negative. No, the negativity is on you.

None of this is proof of what you claim.

Based upon your use of this feature?

Evidence for this treatment? Other than your opinion? The only evidence we have is from the father of an employee who denied any pressure whatsoever. But don't let facts get in the way of the narrative you're pushing. Sorry to be snarky everyone but the negativity is just unbelievable. To...

You mean like VW build? Thank goodness...

It is when it's 93˚F!

Was dead set on white until someone pointed out that all the sensors are more obvious on white. Now cannot unsee :( May have to be black...

This beta development ramp up period for a new car would only be possible with the model 3's simple, minimalist design. Only about 10,000 parts (compared to about 30,000 for ICE) - and very few moving parts. The model 3 is a pretty simple electric go kart but with everything managed via...

As a Model 3 reservation holder, my interest in the Chademo adapter is mostly as a safety net. With more than 500,000 Model 3s coming online, SC access (especially in certain areas - I'm looking at you California) may become difficult. If I am on a road trip and there is an hour long wait at a...

The other occasionally important point here is that if you charge at a supercharger that is crowded or operating at less than optimal charge rate, the Model 3 LR will charge at a higher rate (miles/hour) than any other Tesla currently available.

For anyone that thinks the paint line is the rate limiting factor in throughput at Fremont, I'd like to sell you some beachfront property in the Florida Keys. Also remember that the Model 3 has 10,000 unique parts to assemble. Seems like a lot, yes? The average ICE car has 30-40,000, by the...
