    Electric Riding Zero Turn Mowers

    Yea, I’d say that having an EV mower is extremely convenient across the board. You’ll certainly save money in the long run. Feels nice not buying gas anymore.

    Electric Riding Zero Turn Mowers

    Yea, I’m still really enjoying my Cub Cadet Lithium zero turn. Even on my huge lawn, I never even worry about running out of power. As a matter of a fact, I charge the Cub Cadet the same way I charge my Teslas: I only charge it up to 80% to protect the batteries. I don’t need the extra 20%.

    DIY Installing CCS Retrofit in My US 2017 Model X

    Just to give an update... I ended up needing to postpone the appointment. It's now scheduled for the Aug 16. I'll post another update after the service is performed.

    DIY Installing CCS Retrofit in My US 2017 Model X

    FYI: I ordered the two required parts from my local Service Center. They are installing in my Model X next week. I'll update this post with the results.

    Just came here to express my initial observations of FSD Beta. First of all --- OMG! He did it! That crazy son of a bitch did it! (anyone get the reference?) The car really can drive itself! And it sees everything! Then comes... OMG! This car is really doing everything it can to kill...

    Slooooooly downloading to my car now. Using phone hotspot. This is going to take forever…. And time tends to stand still when you are eagerly watching the progress bar…

    Yea, I think it’s way too low personally. That’s like a day or two of driving for some people. Certainly not enough to be proficient in Autopilot any it’s good points/bad points.

    Seems like a really super slow rollout, and no new people are being let in yet. That said, I’m also holding out hope too. At least things are moving in the right direction.

    Good point. I’m going to be hopeful this time.

    Unfortunately no one has been added since roughly Christmas time. We are all waiting like you at the moment.

    Like he said, the key is the DEceleration. You need to slow down slowly. And don’t abruptly go from full acceleration to full braking.

    Annoying that we have to play these silly games! I think I’ve opted out and back in at least 4 or 5 times already… If Tesla would just tell us the rules of the game, then we could make informed decisions about whether or not to wait for our Beta access. Is that so hard??

    Unfortunately, Tesla hasn’t been adding new beta members (aside from Canada) since around Christmas time. So it’s a waiting game now.

    *WARNING* Do this procedure at your own risk! I tried this procedure yesterday. Was on my way home and a traffic light decided to abruptly change on a road with a 55mph speed limit. AP wouldn’t engage, so I had to use the brakes to stop. So of course it would have been a Hard Stop ding. I...

    Electric Riding Zero Turn Mowers

    That’s a lot of money for Ryobi. Heck. Their top tier model is even more expensive than my Cub Cadet! That said, the way they’re doing the batteries is interesting. I have a bunch of their 40v lawn equipment, so that aspect of it is nice. I’ll be interested to see how well they work in the...

    Nice to see Ryobi finally switch to Li-Ion batteries! Interesting about the joystick. I wonder how easy it will be to use as compared to the standard zero turn handles. Seems like it would be nice to drive one handed.

    No grass to mow yet here in Michigan. Heck…. We’re still getting periodic snow! Can’t wait to really give the Cub Cadet Zero Turn a good workout.

    I will admit, maintaining the SS causes me to drive in a less safe way in some cases. Example: I live in a rural area. 2 lane roads with 55mph speed limits, which means everyone drives 60. You get close to a traffic light…. It’s green. But is it going to stay green? You have no idea. Get...

    THIS! Whenever I am coming up to a traffic light that I don’t trust, I have trained myself to have my hand on the Autopilot stalk, ready to double click it if that light turns yellow. This has worked almost every time, but you must fight the urge to start braking, cause AP won’t engage if...

    It’s so annoying!! I’m finally back up to a 100 score, but it takes a lot of mental effort (and lack of dynamic driving) to get there. A guy in a Lamborghini Urus tried to engage with me on the freeway this morning. Unfortunately I couldn’t participate. Would have killed my score. :(

    I was going to come here to say the same thing. Was shocked earlier today when I noticed the new visualizations in my MX! Pretty cool. One thing I noticed - it even shows when you roll the windows down. Pretty nifty animation, and very smooth.

    Supercharger - Detroit, MI

    At first, I thought that is a very odd place to put the "Detroit" Supercharger. But after thinking about it for a bit, I guess it makes sense. You really don't need a Supercharger downtown. When you go down there, just park somewhere with Level 2. You're more likely to use the Supercharger...

    I had the same thing happen to me last year. Tried everything to fix it, just as you did. Memory serve, I ended up fixing it by getting the navigation to speak. Something like that. Maybe it was making a phone call. It was like the music audio was stuck in a muted state.

    I agree 100%. Tesla just needs to be open and honest, so everyone can have proper expectations. Leaving folks in the dark is bad form.

    I would expect the detail to be cached in the car and eventually transmitted back to Tesla when connectivity is restored. But looking forward to seeing the results of your experiment.

    No, unfortunately the batteries have to be in the chassis for charging. There is a charge port on the side of the mower, looks sort of like a smaller Tesla charger.
