    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (under construction, 8 Stalls)

    How is this still not online yet!? Btw, I tried The 19th hole in Avery and it was really good Italian food at a reasonable price. Haven't gone to soul kitchen yet, waiting for this supercharger to open.

    Get Sailun eRange EV tires. Specifically designed for EVs.

    Agree, would be interesting to see this

    75D battery degradation

    Battery swap. It's already getting cheaper. Under 10k installed Recell

    Trade in 2017 Model S for a Y

    The biggest gain would be the warranty, faster charging and range depending on your build. Everything else is a downgrade. Moving from premium to economy.

    75D battery degradation

    Not worth it for me. I'd rather wait a few years and upgrade batteries when prices come down.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (under construction, 8 Stalls)

    Thanks, we are planning to check it out soon. Any other recommendations for good food in the area? Seems like all the places we go to in the area have the same bland overpriced food (Sierra House, The Bistro, etc) consisting of burgers and fish and chips at best. Besides using my generator...

    Supercharger - Los Gatos, CA - Los Gatos Boulevard (LIVE 16 Jan 2024, 8 V4 stalls)

    Something broke at this location. I tried 2 chargers earlier today and got an unable to charge/charge station not powered error.

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    Yes, FSD Beta on 2023.27.7 I'll send a service note to Tesla but not holding hope

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    My wipers still don't work. Intermittent is non operational. Haven't received an update since October last year or so.

    HOW TO: Replace Headlights in Refresh (2016+) Model S

    If you have your old lights you should be able to swap it over I think? Isn't the LED driver on the outside of the light?

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (under construction, 8 Stalls)

    Drove by yesterday. Seems like there is still a part of the lot that is dug up. I did not even see a transformer pad so maybe they still intend on pouring it at some point.

    Second Guessing Tire Purchase - Opinions?

    I agree, I've had both the foam and no foam and never felt or heard any difference. My car has probably cost to 150k miles on it now so I've gone through all sorts of tires.

    Second Guessing Tire Purchase - Opinions?

    I've tried all sorts of tires for this car and my favorite are the Sailun Erange. Best combo of noise/range/wear

    Supercharger - Capitola, CA - 41st Ave. (LIVE 9 Feb 2024, 16 V4 stalls)

    The Los Gatos supercharger at Whole Foods is v4, so it's definitely not the first one.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Scale is small. There is no profitability. Human drivers are pretty cheap, Uber keeps most of what they charge the riders with drivers receiving a small cut + maintaining their cars.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (under construction, 8 Stalls)

    Nice. Are they removing the fencing? Hopefully, this means that the transformer is going to be installed soon! BTW I went to that "Arnold Chinese" restaurant at the plaza the other day and it was pretty decent and inexpensive.

    Poll: 3 years from now, would you rather pay for $20K for FSD or $20K for Tesla Bot?

    I need that bot to press my wipers button when it sees rain since my intermittent wipers dont work properly. Think it can do that?

    No intermittent wipers or cruise control with update?

    I've restarted countless times but my intermittent wipers still dont work, regardless if auto wipe is on or off.

    No intermittent wipers or cruise control with update?

    Intermittent wipers have been broken for a long time for me as well. Doesn't seem like working wipers are a priority at Tesla.

    Light Harmonic speaker HONEST review and install

    Yea the door speakers make the biggest difference. Applying soundproofing isn't hard at all. You just cut and stick. I used stp gold but can't go wrong with dynamat either.

    How much MPG when charging off a generator?

    I got a Firman 3200W continuous generator and I'm charging my Model S at 3kW using the UMC at 24a/125v. It has a 1.8gal tank. Does anyone know how much range/miles it would add on a tank of gas? Wondering how big of a gas canister I should get...

    Thanks for that update! Disappointing to see that the transformer still appears to be missing.

    Carseats: Model S vs Model Y

    It is way more roomy in our ICE pickup truck (Nissan Titan)

    Carseats: Model S vs Model Y

    It's a bit better but not by much. Having a rear facing seat is pain. Forward facing is decent. I am 6'3 and my wife is 5'9.

    Any recent movements here? We bought a place 5min from this supercharger, off grid so I hope they finish it soon!

    Intermittent Wiper Failure

    My intermittent wipers don't work and nor does auto wipe. Switching to any intermittent setting does nothing for me.

    Door handle hard to open after replacement

    I didn not. Calibrate through service mode?

    Shocked to hear that there is a company out there with worse customer support than Tesla.

    Door handle hard to open after replacement

    Got a v3 door handle installed by Tesla Service. It's nearly impossible to actually open the door now. Pulling with regular force does nothing. I have to either pull about 20 times until it opens or push down on the door while pulling on the handle. I did schedule another service but I'm...

    blind spot avoidance chime not working

    I think you actually have to start moving over to the lane and into the car in the blind spot for the chime to work.
  33. Cheburashka

    Launch is Imminent

    Correct. I wanted the F-150L for this but it's not feasible. In addition to the EVSE, you need a special Delta solar inverter that is only sold and installed by Sunrun, and the total cost including installation was way more than $3500. At that point it's just cheaper and better to get a...

    Model S Cabin Heater Stopped Working

    I agree, we aren't saving any money on this car, however, I do enjoy driving it, and charging at home is a huge plus for me vs going to the gas station.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (under construction, 8 Stalls)

    Are the transformers installed already? Probably only have a few more weeks until snow.

    I'm excited from the day one and am more & more excited. Digest the comparison! Change is a natural phenomenon-look ahead.

    Yeah, this isn't some super innovative tech. It's nice to have, sure, even necessary with the yoke, but Tesla's version isn't proven yet and I can't imagine it being a huge deciding factor in purchasing a car.
  37. Cheburashka

    I'm excited from the day one and am more & more excited. Digest the comparison! Change is a natural phenomenon-look ahead.

    Honestly, the Tesla fanboys are all in shambles. Trying to prove the CT is marginally "better" than other trucks released 2 years ago that you can buy off the lot today with some tables. Sad and pathetic.

    The lightning has 240v in the bed, and also an amazing openable panoramic sunroof option.

    500 mile range? LOL

    Yeah, I agree for towing that is a sound concept. Unfortunately it's a RAM/Stellantis product which means it will spend half its life broken down.
  40. Cheburashka

    500 mile range? LOL

    Ah, the famous "within Tesla spec"
  41. Cheburashka

    500 mile range? LOL

    I mean.... They can patent a design but not sure they can defensibly patent an idea of carrying a battery in the bed.
  42. Cheburashka

    500 mile range? LOL

    This is Tesla, no way this is the "final version". Every time Tesla releases a new model they come out with a bunch of fixes and improvements within a year.
  43. Cheburashka

    What will you do with your Cybertruck reservation?

    Yup, moreso the Lariat can be optioned with a panoramic opening sunroof. The "cheap" work truck model is also not bad overall considering it's 52k before incentives. Also, AWD standard.
  44. Cheburashka

    500 mile range? LOL

    I was, in fact, not wrong.
  45. Cheburashka

    Launch is Imminent

    Unfortunately the 7.5k promo is for Lariat only.
  46. Cheburashka

    Launch is Imminent

    I can go buy a standard-range lightning for ~53K off the lot right now. The extended range, on the other hand, are harder to come by, but can still be found.

    Launch is Imminent

    Haha! This is actually a genius move by Tesla :D
  48. Cheburashka

    Launch is Imminent

    You have to be careful with your bed weight if you are towing because putting things in the bed reduces the allowable tongue weight. A travel trailer can easily have 1000lb tongue weight Even if it was possible, I don't think moving a 2000lb thing is feasible.
  49. Cheburashka

    Launch is Imminent

    A diesel genny would actually make more sense than the battery pack because it's way lighter, so you could still use the truck for truck things.
  50. Cheburashka

    Launch is Imminent

    Take a look at this abomination, lol. I guess the CT will be able to carry 500lb with this thing installed.
