    Tesla should offer Range Extenders for Rental

    After hearing about the latest range tests (250 miles for the AWD variant @ 70 MPH and 45F) it makes me really question the usability of the truck as a camper and vacation vehicle, and even the latest tow tests (~150 miles towing a Model Y with Tonneau cover open,TL;DW: 110 mile trip, 83 kWh...

    Powerwall Firmware 23.44.0 eb113390

    Some reason my Powerwall-Dashboard (from JasonCox) died about a week ago, and my powerwall gateway firmware is still 23.36.3 not yet 23.44 .0 like others, but I haven't been able to get it communicate again. I definitely experienced the rate lockout issue from failed auth's and had to swap wifi...

    What will you do with your Cybertruck reservation?

    I pre-ordered early on and doubt I'll get the original marketted pricing. WIll be really interesting to see if they honor original pricing.

    Tesla should offer Range Extenders for Rental

    This thing is huge, and for the majority the owners, this is only needed once in a blue moon. I think many folks could use the extra range from time to time, but not all the time but for that 1-2% of the year (3-5 days of the year), I think it would be extremely helpful to be able to rent the...

    Is this your first pack replacement, if not how long did you have your previous pack?

    Who gets reservations filled first?

    For the CT, when you first preordered you had to select a Trim level. I believe they removed that option a few months or a year later. Geography will definitely remain #1 I suspect, with Texas reservation holders going first followed by California and other states where they have a good service...

    Tesla battery longevity not affected by frequent Supercharging, study says

    How many miles do you have on that pack o.o? And what is your charging/storage behavior? Is it basically in a frozen mountain somewhere?

    2022 LR Model 3: 358 miles EPA range?

    SR+ has LFP batteries LR AWD has NMCA batteries LR P has NCA batteries
  10. Jedi2155

    Is it more cost effective to charge at 48 amps or 32amps?

    The real answer is that the onboard AC-DC charger has different efficiencies at various power levels combined with parasitic losses of the vehicle being powered. It's been a long time since someone has actually measured the differences. Most power supplies (i.e. the charger) have an efficiency...

    2022 LR Model 3: 358 miles EPA range?

    Its because it has a Panasonic NCA battery with 358 miles of range. New LR AWD Model 3's have LG NMCA batteries.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    Based on this video the latest M3P (Pirelli P7) still beats the EV6 GT (Goodyear F1). I'd argue if the Tesla had Michelin PS4S tires it'd probably a hair faster as well. Wider tires on the GT at 255/40R21 vs 235/35R20. EV6 GT started 83% and ended at 76%. M3P started at 83% and ended at 78%...

    Who gets reservations filled first?

    For reference from the Model 3 history they are prioritized by: Geography Trim level Ability to pay Reservation number If you aren't in #1 or #2, then you won't even get the option to configure. It isn't until #4 would we get the to the prioritization of the reservation number.

    Anyway to reach out to the Tesla Referral program?

    AFAIK, there is NO way to transfer referral points between accounts. Only way I can see you doing so is to TRANSFER the car from your daughter's MY to your account, then apply the premium connectivity that way using your referral. Wondering if you can transfer it back after

    Anyway to reach out to the Tesla Referral program?

    She only earned 3500 points, when the wall connector requires 5500 points. She has never owned a Tesla vehicle before, but she did have Tesla solar (also through my referral). She utilized my referral code (and it even said you will earn a Tesla referral with my code) on the order page prior to...

    Recent Model 3 RWD inventory purchase questions regarding Loot credits and 3 months of unlimited Supercharging

    Anyway to reach out to the Tesla Referral program?

    I have some issues with how referral credits were distributed, and after helping my sister buy her first Tesla, all the points went to her, instead of being distributed between her and me, or preferably (all me :p). I was going to use the points to get her a wall charger but now I can't! The old...

    How to prevent charging cars from battery

    I have a question about this if anyone knows, I have a Model 3, and my roommate has a Model X and I have a whole house backup in my home with dual powerwalls. Without connecting his vehicle to my account, how does Tesla know / the system know to turn off the Model X from charging if my home...

    New 26kw system - some weird usage results after a month of use.

    If you're completely off-grid, and the powerwalls are getting 17 kW and the remaining 8 kW going to "home usage" then there is definitely a miswiring of the CT's somewhere. 17 kW sounds about right in terms of 3 powerwalls fully charging (5.8 kW * 3). My suspect is that due something miswired...

    Turn off WiFi in Powerwall Gateway?

    So the WiFi Adapter is actually in the Solar Inverter on the Powerwall+ units. There's an actual WiFi antenna that looks like it has an SMA connnector within the Inverter housing that is easily accesible. https://www.jasonacox.com/wordpress/archives/1017

    Tesla Inverter over temperature error

    Until comes by with a inverter replacement I've used some computer fans to help cool it down, 1st with some portable laptop cooler fans (5v so easy to power via USB + power bank) but I felt it was still throttlling the power somewhat, so I've put a more heavy duty 120mm + 140mm computer chassis...

    Tesla Inverter over temperature error

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    Funny enough, upon further study: Basically, there needs to be the potential for the circuit to be overloaded for the oversizing of the circuit to occur. More fun, is that this is not allowed in Canada, where the receptacle HAS to match the circuit rating. My understanding here is that at no...

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    Could you explain why it was allowed and why the latter is not allowed? I mean I see this happen with 5-15 circuits/receptacles all the time too, so it does make sense.

    14-50 on 100 amp breaker? Ok to use?

    I'm an EE and I'm a power engineer. As long as the wiring is appropriate, you can put a 14-50R on a 100A Circuit and Protection. The protection should be from the outlet itself where the outlet cannot take a load greater than 50A. The following is also true, and commonly installed in home...

    Its actually hard/annoying enough that many electrical engineers fail to do it right. Configuring the CTs correctly require thorough understanding of the home's single line diagram which I don't think everyone is good enough at doing. The main thing is double checking the actual energy flow to...
