    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    You pretty well understand that it is like a teenager learning how to drive, except that it hasn't been around long enough to be a teenager. Tesla is working on making the crossing car scenario better. Like I said, it seems to be just about right in V12 FSD right now. It will just take awhile...

    A new checklist for a Freemont built MYLR

    Yes, Walk up to car, look around it. Walk around car, looking at it. Get in the car, look around. Are you happy with it? Great. I believe that you will have 10 days to report any other items that you may find. Unless you find something bad enough that you are going to refuse delivery, then...

    Clear peeled off?

    I assume that we are looking at the door on a Model 3 or something like that? It's obviously got a lot of dirt on it, so clean it off first. Is the mark a depression or is it elevated?

    Charging Stats in Tesla App

    Honestly, does it really matter? You can put the high rate in and tell people that you are saving at least that much. Or you can average the two numbers and see what your yearly average savings is.

    Trouble Replying on a Supercharger Thread

    I think that I saw that two threads got merged, you may have gotten caught up in that, but you should be able to do it now. I remember earlier this year, driving by Franklin and seeing the fence and knowing exactly what was about to happen. It appears to be close now, but the definitely got to...

    Rims fixing colour...

    Try the Sharpie black marker. I believe that it ends up being about the right color. And don't assume that you aren't going to scrape the wheels again. It's pretty much a given. Take a look at any charging locations of all the wheels and their scrapes. I wear my scrapes proudly!

    2018 Model X Wall Charger issues

    I think that if it was the onboard, that the car would let you know. I'm wondering if you are getting a ground fault and that's what kicking the chargers off. Is there any other 3Phase L2 locations that you can stay on for a little bit to test?

    Is this myp rear tire still fixable

    Probably not. Too close to sidewall.

    Cybertruck towing Airstream

    I don't think that I've ever seen a flat-top trailer like that. What model is it and who makes it? Does it have a specific use case?

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    If they are coming on when it is clear, make sure that the area in front of the camera is squeaky clear. I recently was on a trip and they started coming on. Whereas the windshield appears clear, I cleaned it again, especially in front of the cameras and they didn't come on again. Remember...

    Performance: RWD vs DM (Chill Mode)

    It just takes a little practice with the accelerator and then you can drive it as any other car. You'll learn that 1/2 inch is a LOT. The RWD is no slacker either, it's going to probably have a lot more performance that what you are driving right now does. It's just not quite as much. When...

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    It changes with differing releases. In one of the recent ones, they did come on more than needed, especially with no rain, but that seems to have been remediated. So if that's what you are referring to then it doesn't count any more. Why do they turn on when you engage adaptive cruise control...

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    Nope, same thing for both of my cars. Some people just like to turn on their wipers when there is ANY water on them. That's not me, I can see much better around the drops than when wipers are streaking them across the windshield.

    New [used] Car!! - 2022 Model 3 Long Range + Questions and info

    Do you charge at home? If so, do you run out or range? If not, it doesn't matter. If you don't charge at home, How often do you charge? Would saving 10% make a difference? If not, it doesn't matter. Get my point, it really doesn't matter. Even when doing highway driving, it takes more than a...

    Service and communication (out of main)

    Pretty sure that this isn't intended to be a QA person. From my understanding, it's to decrease service. And that's something that Tesla started worrying with a few years back with the Semi. They wanted the Semi to have a MTBF of a million miles.

    Experience with Tesla Collision Repair

    As if ANY collision center can repair a vehicle in days, 10 years ago, they kept my Subaru in for 3-4 months.

    Cybertruck towing Airstream

    Except for a larger towing capacity, there is nothing that makes me want a 3/4 ton diesel and there's plenty of reasons why I don't. Driving a 3/4 ton as a daily driver is just stupid and sitting the 3/4 ton next to the trailer, only to be used when trailering is only slightly better. Renting...

    Cybertruck towing Airstream

    I saw nearly 50% in 15 minutes. And 80% is more like 45 minutes. At 0-30% at a 250kW Supercharger, you are charging between 1000-500 mph. Above 50%, you drop to below 500 mph. I can drop and later hitch in less than a cumulative 5 minutes. I was surprised to see the Chevy is allowing dealer...

    Supercharger Extension Cable

    Let's get the verbiage correct. "why would the Ford driver perhaps have to wait much, much longer than say a Tesla driver?" should be "why would the Ford driver perhaps have to wait much, much longer than say a TWO+ Tesla drivers?" And it really could be the equivalent of 3 or even 4...

    New [used] Car!! - 2022 Model 3 Long Range + Questions and info

    Range will vary on vehicles over a few year old, not much the driver can do to even impact it. The BEST place to look at your current range is on the Energy Graph page, everything else is irrelevant. You don't need to do anything, Tesla does it all for you. Stop worrying about it, and you will...

    Clunking/popping noise when sitting in the car while parked

    Sounds like the battery, not a big deal. If you lift the rear seat, that's the battery.

    Cybertruck towing Airstream

    There is absolutely no need to stop for 45 minutes at a Supercharger. The Silverado EV? Well, let's see if it actually makes it into mass production. And it really isn't going to make that much difference. If you don't like sitting for 2 hrs at a Supercharger, you're going to hate the 3 hrs...

    Supercharger Extension Cable

    Okay, that cable just seems to be weird. It's a CCS extension (not a NACS) and it is only for Magic Dock pedestals. In other words, it's not exactly the best thing to buy if you are going to charge on Tesla pedestals. (except for the few CCS ones)

    Cybertruck towing Airstream

    No. Why do you think that the Cybertruck has 340 miles of Interstate range? And since they all have A-T tires on it, they aren't that high yet, only about 317. And think, you are towing something that is heavier than the truck and significantly taller than the truck. Any ICE truck is going...

    Tesla Newbie - PPF Necessary?

    But does that make a difference with resale. In general use, I say no. Paint condition normally isn't measured that closely.

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    Since there is no reward in doing battery tests, you are correct. Just drive the car, Tesla will take care of the rest.

    Experience with Tesla Collision Repair

    But as your post #33 in that thread indicates, that wasn't $10k for simple damage, what was quoted was much more than that.

    Tesla Newbie - PPF Necessary?

    Take a look at resale values. Does PPF make a difference?

    Experience with Tesla Collision Repair

    It wasn't $10k. And it is one of the safest vehicles to drive. Which do you want "cheap to repair and easy to die" or "less easy to die"

    Non random battery drain

    There seems to be a few threads talking about this right now. I'd basically suggest just waiting until the next major release of software before getting too worried about it.

    My Experience Taking my Model Y down to 0%

    Some have seen that it may take a long time to hit the 100% number. It's absolutely safe to leave it for hours and days at 100%. The big issue with leaving at 100% is if you leave it there for a year, then testing has indicated about 2-3% additional degradation on top of the normal expected...

    Significant drop in battery for few miles driven

    That definitely will do it. When the car is not being used, it steps through a couple of different idle or sleep modes. Basically portions of the car get powered down. Sitting in the car with the screen on means that the car is still fully awake. Let the car go to sleep and the power draw...

    Try charging with a trailer. There have definitely been situations that it would have saved me from dropping the trailer to charge.

    Model 3 RWD got beat by an Audi turbo

    Non random battery drain

    If it is showing standby usage, that's where I'd look. If I am not mistaken, there is a standby setting under summon. Also, do you happen to work in a different location in office during the week? Could the car be seeing your phone?

    Wall Charger

    It depends on where the service entrance and breaker box is in the new house. Could be cheap, could be damn expensive. Could even be impossible.
  44. E

    Non random battery drain

    Does the car connect to Wi-Fi while at work? What app are you using to collect the information? The app itself could be the culprit. Have you looked at the Energy pages to see what they say? Is Sentry OFF or OFF at work or home?

    Would powdercoated Gemini wheels be scratched by the covers?

    My point is that if you like it one way, just leave it that way. If you powder coat, it and don't like it, then put them back on. I kept mine on for awhile, then took them off and put them back on when travelling. And then back off while in town. Well, the range difference doesn't bother me and...

    Model 3 RWD got beat by an Audi turbo

    I hate threads / comments like this. It makes readers think that the Model 3 RWD is a slow car and that they need to buy the Performance model. Where in reality, it's probably faster than 90% of the vehicles sold. So for 90% of the people, the slowest Model 3 still evokes those famous words...
