    What is a good vacation plan for California

    I have never been to California and would like to spend either one or two weeks there in the future after virus issues subside. Any suggestions or any info on decent web sites or otherwise that deal with this topic. My guess is half the users on this forum live in California so I figured I...

    Mounting NEMA 6-20R on outside back porch?

    Is there a good way to surface mount a 6-20R on an outside back porch? It is sheltered from the rain/snow etc. I have access to an unused inside 6-20 where I can take the wire from to use on the outside (the other side of the wall). This is at a relatives house that's trying to help me out...

    Temperature and Efficiency Data

    So I was looking at my TeslaFi data and noticed a less than expected change in efficiency. I wonder what the Model Y with the heat-pump will look like after people gather a lot of data?

    Laptop/Food Tray for Model 3

    I remember seeing such horrible devices back in the 1990s and I though they went away. Now it's back. Now all we need is an autopilot accident with one of these. Steering Wheel Tray/Laptop Steering Wheel Desk for Tesla

    Did you select your model 3 based on 70% battery life?

    When I purchased my car in 2018 I made sure I would be happy with 70% of the stated range since that is the warranty threshold. In this case I assumed my 310 mile rated AWD will possibly some day only charge to 217 miles range. I am wondering if anyone else did this. No way I would buy a...

    How do you calculate what you need?

    How does Tesla know 20x more compute than HW 2.5 is enough?

    No one seems to question if 20x more compute than HW 2.5 is enough for FSD to be reliable and fully functional. Elon thought HW 2.5 would be enough and it was not. Is there any metric being used to show HW 3 is powerful enough to satisfy people like Edward Markey with a true AutoPilot...

    Anyone try LLumar IRX?

    LLumar came out with IRX ceramic tint that is a solid step up spec wise from their CTX product. Has anyone tried it yet? I plan on buying IRX for my side windows if I can find someone selling it. I use the Tesla screen inserts on my top and rear windows since it blocks out more thermal energy...

    Taptes Armrest Cover - Improperly Shipped But Otherwise Decent [Vendor resolved issue]

    Too often I found my armrest blazing hot due to being in the sun so I ordered a white cover from Taptes. Overall it looks fine from a fit perspective and is a decent cover. However they completely failed on the shipping as they folded it in half and put it in a box!!! It has left damage on...

    Autopilot does not like road repairs

    Interstate 71 in Ohio recently had some repairs where the asphalt was failing where it was joined. Attached is a thumbnail of the repair and it shows how Autopilot thinks I am driving on a one lane road. In this stretch of road NoA, autopilot and FFS lane keep assist is worthless. Should...

    Why does Tesla attract the weirdos?

    Seen a movie today and someone wrote "Dirty" on my car. They had to go pretty low to find any dirt. People didn't both my Supra, G37x or WRX or other cars I've had over the years. No damage but it's annoying. He started to walk to the front then the lights flashed and he turned around and...

    Heat Pump Dryer and charging on same circuit at same time

    So I was looking at a Samsung vent-less heat pump dryer. Specs here Ventless Dryer with Smart Care N6800 | Owner Information & Support | Samsung US Requirements are stated 240 V at 800 W on page 52 which is around 4 amps depending on PF It looks like it would be very safe to operate this dryer...

    Where are good 40 to 80 MPH Comparisons?

    Although 0-60 times are always fun I purchased my car for passing power so I'm always interested in the 40-80 range. How is the new standard+ car compared to all three LR variants (single, dual and P). Did the recent power changes make a big difference?

    Lost cruise, autopilot and auto screen brightness

    So I lost a lot of functionality. Tried both the brake and two steering buttons reboot and also the power down with no luck. I reported via my phone and it made an appointment for April 12th. Guess there are no support people to talk to on Sundays. Any suggestions? On 2019.8.3

    Brother labels on door a bad idea?

    I decided to print some labels to help people understand the door handles. It’s white on black tape so I don’t think it’s that bad but the wife says never but label maker stuff in a car of any price range. What do you think?

    Costco has a good deal on Michelin tires today so ordered PS4S tires.

    Must have Costco Visa card but for my area the deal is $70 off set of 4 and then an additional 25% off after installation. Order online 1/1/2019 only. Wonder how big of a range hit I'll take over the MXM4

    Two 5-20R and one 6-20R on same circuit legal?

    I would like to run a new circuit to my garage logically wired as below. This would give me two 120v 20 amp circuits that I need and would give me a 240v 20 amp circuit as well. I would use a double pole breaker so if either side goes they both go. Is there anything wrong with this?

    Model 3 overrode my steering this week

    Why I decided against window tint

    Previously I used window tint to keep my car cooler in the sun. My last car had Llumar Air Blue 80 installed and it did a good job with solar thermal rejection. I live in Ohio and it's pretty hot in the summer but it can be very cold in the winter. Since it appears cooling the car is far less...

    Anyone try Sottozero 3 PNCS or Seal Inside tires?

    I have used Sottozero 3 tires for the past 4 years and really like them so I plan on buying some for the Model 3 18" wheels. It looks like they offer these in PNCS (Pirelli Noise Control System) or Seal Inside (self sealing tires) versions. My brain is leaning towards Seal Inside while my ears...

    Tesla Cameras

    Given how the backup camera totally wipes out when backing into a sunrise or sunset I wonder how these things will work in FSD. Looks like they should have at least put polarized filters on the camera and DC iris. I'm assuming they used cheap fixed iris cameras.

    Confused about Climate System and Power Usage

    So I went on a 100+ mile trip this morning. When the climate system was on my power was 305 Wh/Mi or so. When I turned it off the cabin was warmer and it started fogging up. This tells me the system was cooling. This was at 65 MPH headlights were on and it was raining. I reset the trip...

    Do worn out tires adversely affect trade-in value?

    Trying to figure out if it would be worth it to replace worn out tires on the car I want to trade in early next month. I would guess it's harder to move cars at an auction with 1/32 left to the tread wear indicators. If it's $500 I don't care. If it's $2000 then yes.

    Are Dual Motor 3 rear motors basically RWD 3 rejects?
