    tire replacement already 10K miles!

    You got twice what I did on the same wheel and tire combo. Rotated mine at 5500 at the rears are at 3/32! 🤣

    Need tire recommendation for Induction wheels

    Barely 6000 miles on the stock Goodyears and at my first rotation, I'm not expecting them to go more than a few thousand more miles. Anyone have a good recommendation for higher mileage all season tire (these things sucked in the snow anyway).

    Hit and Run, need help with video clean up

    Other cameras didn’t get the plate either... but I’m working with the restaurant owner to correlate the time stamps and her security footage. The other Tesla (model S I think) never moved.

    Hit and Run, need help with video clean up

    Trying youtube. Hoping it uploaded in the full quality available. The left repeater he drives by at about the 53 second mark. In the rear facing you can see him pull into a spot, then back out and pull in next to me. :mad:

    Hit and Run, need help with video clean up

    So someones little snot nosed kid slammed their door into my 2 month old Model Y (I'm not exaggerating, I mean flung that thing right into my car) creating a massive dent/crease right over the right rear wheel. I've got everything on Sentry cam, however when he pulled away the rear camera...

    Will The Revolutionary Tesla Windshield Wiper Debut On The Cybertruck?

    Agree. The other question is, why? The engineering, cost and complexity that it would require to have the same level of reliability would be prohibitively expensive... and what benefit would it serve? I also can't see the laser system being practical. Not the least of which is pointing...

    Got it, both times I showed up with about a 50-55% SOC. Yes, SC was my destination both times for preconditioning.

    Supercharging not up to hype?

    Only had my MY a few weeks, and I don’t need to supercharge but I’ve hit two now just see what it can do. The first station I hit was a 150kw station, there were two cars when I got there and none when I left, I was only able to pull about 40kw for the duration. Sitting at another one right...

    I would bet if you Tweet Musk to put in a "Farm Mode" that disabled all these features... they'll probably do it.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    First Expression of MY

    The only thing a Honda will do that a comparable M3 won't, is go in for regular service, oil changes, burn gas, and depreciate... quickly. To the OP... What is a "first expression?" It's impression. FYI, took delivery of a new MY last week. 10 days from order to delivery and no matter how...

    Which pigtail for mobile charger?

    This is accurate. It’s on a 50a breaker, so I limited the wall charger is limited to 40a. Car charges at 10kw which is just fine and well within the capacity of the circuit. Putting a 14-50 on a 60a breaker would be a total code violation, you’d be allowing yourself to draw more power through...

    If I only have a 50A main in my garage, can I get a Wall Charger and run it at 40A to charge?

    Your EV charger is on a 20a circuit, the entire panel is on a main 60a breaker. The sum of all your circuits is 55a to keep it under the 60a limit. As a general rule of thumb you want to keep your home charger below 80% of rated capacity so you want your home charger under 16a on that 20a...

    Which pigtail for mobile charger?

    Wound up being a moot point. My electrician was able to get out to the house the day of my delivery and install my Gen 3 home charger.... charges at 10kw at home now. I haven't even unpacked the mobile charger that came with it.

    Thanks, called my SC and he said "I literally have hundreds of them in stock." I'll grab one when I pick up the car.

    Which pigtail for mobile charger?

    Picking up my MY on Monday and just realized I need a pigtail adapter for the mobile charger to plug into my 14-50 outlet. I only see a Gen 2 NEMA adapter on Tesla’s website, is there a Gen 3? Will this pigtail fit the charger that comes with the car? thanks

    Glass Breaking Fail

    You all do know that towing and pulling are two different things right? As advertised they said it would pull an infinite amount, no one in their right mind would tow 300k lbs. On what planet did you think a 6kish lb truck was going to be RATED to TOW a 300k lb rig? That’s almost 3x the...

    New to Tesla...Is it really that bad?

    Forums for every vehicle type are generally negative. No one gets on and talks about every great experience, by in large people get on to bitch when things are bad. The proverbial 5% make 90% of the noise type thing... Enjoy your MX!

    Rivian Hopes to Build Up To 40K Vehicles in First Year

    Same reason an electric motorcycle will go twice as far at 35mph than it will at 70 mph... aerodynamics. The boxy shape (rear of the cab, rear of the bed) create a low pressure area at the back that essentially pull back on the vehicle against the motors trying to drive it forward. A tapered...

    Why is Rivian so inefficient?

    So if a truck has to be a certain size to be functional, how has Toyota sold so many Tacoma’s over the years? There’s a reason there have been sub compact, compact, full size, 1/2, 3/4, 1 ton trucks etc. The Toyota Hilux is by most measures a compact truck and visit any country in the world...

    Rivian Automotive

    If you’ve ever flown on the Boeing 787, the passenger windows do this. You press a button and it increases the electric current going through the window and they darken. At full dark it’s like looking through a really dark pair of sunglasses.

    VW will trample tesla

    Guess what the scandal did effect me, and VW not only bought back my car at a substantial profit to myself, but the follow on settlement check paid for a 240v subpanel in my garage along with two 14-50 NEMA outlet installations. It cost VW tens of billions and they’re still paying. Part of the...

    Autopilot trying to kill me in V9

    As an airline pilot and military pilot, I’ve flown the F-18, B-737/757/767, A320, C130 and more. Everyone of those airplanes has an autopilot, everyone of them has “tried to kill me” (I.e. did something wrong or that I didn’t want, wasn’t expecting). You know what you do in those cases? Turn...

    VW will trample tesla

    Their investment pales in comparison to the fines, fees, penalties and worst of all, brand image damage that was done by their behavior. I hope they die a slow death kicking and screaming the whole way down. My Golf TDI was a good car though... right up until I found out it was worthless.
