    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    It’s lower per mile in some places but not in a lot of places. And a lot of superchargers are very high. My Model S runs about equal to a 35 mpg in my area. A 400 wh/mi would be about equal to a 25 mpg in my area. Check out these charts.

    Model Y Competition: Rivian R2 Price & Specs Leaked! -- $47500, 0-60 3 Sec, 330 Miles Range

    One thing people keep ignoring is efficiency. How good will the efficiency be on the R2. The R1 is awful. I think in the long run efficiency is gonna hold back the Cybertruck. Even the X for it’s size and weight does quite good at efficiency. A lot of the public assume all EV’s are super...

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    They all look similar but are not the same. I bought ones from the member here and fit was so bad I returned them. They were bought through Amazon.

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    They come off WAY easier than those damn clips. One screw is stronger than 2 clips too. I have brutal winters living on a 1 mile dirt road in central NH and have never torn up any flap. Mud is brutal in spring. Even the OEM one help together (with 1” off).

    Fair Price 2023 Model S

    1-2K definitely wouldn’t be worth selling private. It’s a big headache / risk / time selling a newish Tesla private. I think it would be more like 5-10K.

    My car started to lose its mind

    First it started with setting GPS for a two hour trip. And when I put in my target location I was gonna be 15 min late. Damn. But as I’m driving I notice the clock is off by 15 minutes ahead. And why I was 15 min late. Was talking to a friend and he said just reboot while driving. I try not...

    Fair Price 2023 Model S

    Were you able to do those all online? With just a VIN. Tesla offered $46 for my 22 with FSD $15K miles. I tried Kelly Blue Book and would not give me an answer. Accept a lot of my hone calls and emails from dealers. I think CarMax said I had to bring it in. Which seems to always happen...

    Why choose Model 3 over Model Y if you can have more trunk space?

    I’m surprised the OP is old enough to drive. Arcade trash, seriously.

    How to advocate for EVs?

    Those public chargers are a joke. You might get $0.25 to $1.00 worth of fuel for your charge session.

    Deliveries of $80k X?

    I had been ignoring this thread because I thought it only applied to the Short Range X. I have a 22 Model S Refresh now. Pretty happy with it. But Winter in NH living on a dirt road is tough. I had an X before. I would miss the range and efficiency of the S. But tax break, FSD transfer, $46K...

    Battery's & Audiophiles

    If you have decent audio equipment it won’t care. It’s all converted to regulated and filtered DC. If you can hear a difference it’s poor audio equipment.

    Does anyone have experience with a SolarEdge system (panels + battery) and a SolarEdge EV charger?

    I always question why people would bother with powerwalls if they have net metering.

    Yet another 100% charging question

    There are plenty of warnings not to do it often.

    Yet another 100% charging question

    That’s because you don’t replace your car as often as your phone. My iPhone batteries are *sugar* after a little over a year charging to 100%. I immediately use the new feature to only charge to 80%. Still at 100% capacity. I’d normally see it starting to drop by now. I normally charge my car to...

    Does anyone have experience with a SolarEdge system (panels + battery) and a SolarEdge EV charger?

    I set my off peak to 3PM and leave by to 3PM and it tends to use the Solar. Not perfect by any means but better than nothing.

    So you have the RPM Tesla ones too?

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    Don’t use the clips. They don’t hold and cause trouble. They are not on Amazon. I bought them direct from RPM Tesla. If you look very close they are not the same. Are they much better than BASENOR? Don't know, but after the first batch I would not touch BASENOR again. Also read the Amazon...

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    I had almost identical ones on Model 3 and X and they held up fine. Biggest negative is those stupid clips. They don’t hold rigidly. If they are moving around the will eat at the paint. That’s why I put the screw. These are not budging. I could have put some PPF. Maybe I will, but I’ve never...

    Model S Refresh Mud/Splash Guards

    I moved to a home on a dirt road in N.H. Lot of mud and the OEM flaps were not cutting it. I’m not sure anything can tbh. But I decided to try the ones from RPM Tesla They fit 10x better than the other 3rd party ones I tried. I absolutely hate the metal clips on any of these. I used 1 screw...

    Future Model S?

    I think S and X have to stay and keep up. They are symbols. A lot of buyers see an X but can’t afford one and buy a Y. Tesla needs bragging rights Fastest SUV fastest 4 door sedan. They may not have highest direct sales but they impact sales indirectly. A lot of buyers buy say a 3 knowing an S...

    The Cybertruck is more expensive to supercharge than a Ford F-150 costs in gas

    I was considering the CT but after looking at what it will cost to charge, I thought it’s just a non starter. We just got Solar but the CT would likely push me well into not having enough production to cover it. CT gets about half the MPGe that my Model S does (EPA is 240 wh/mile my lifetime...

    500 mile range? LOL

    Did you also include 4 years of high inflation? $70K in 2019 is the same as $85K today.

    500 mile range? LOL

    Sorry if these have been shared already. But the Cybertruck is incredible. Ethernet bus, 48V, custom stainless, huge stamped components just tons of bold moves. I really want one. But I really don’t want to make a “statement” with my car. My S blends in. But there are to many crazy people...

    How many of you will/may transition to CyberTruck?

    I really wanted to like the Cybertruck. I have a 22 Model S now with OEM hitch. I tow often with short distances. I live on a dirt road in the northeast. Last winter was not bad. Actually spring mud season is the toughest. But a bad winter could be trouble. Clearance is the biggest issue and...

    Anyone Else Ordering New Tesla CCB Pads?

    Will those fit 2022 LR as well? Will they likely stop better in an emergency or are they just better for hard breaking while really pushing it?

    Model S Refresh: Homelink multiple signals?

    I just wanted to share the hell I went through to get my 22 Refresh S to work with a brand new pair of 8500W LiftMasters. The Keypad, 2019 Volt, OEM Visor buttons all programmed with the learn button on the Opener without issue. Then Came the Tesla and I tried Both methods. Neither worked...

    Charging from Excess Solar with Teslapy

    So what are 3P solutions that can do this. I just had an Enphase PV installed. Currently I just set the Offpeak End at 3PM and hits a good portion of Solar. I really don’t have time to fiddle. Already have huge coding projects on the side. Curious what ROI is if I bought 3P solution? 20...

    High resolution audiophile flac file playback, 24bit audio solution

    I use dBpoweramp for conversion. Good discovery. Thanks for sharing. i have seen this multiples 44.1 before dealing with SACD or something. If your system is 48khz based resampling from 44khz causes problems. Since most music is 44.1 you are better off the system be 44.1 based and not have to...

    Local Installer - Received Pending Lien notices

    I did learn one thing. The USPS screwed up. Legally they are supposed delivery to my home. It’s on a private dirt road. With a dozen houses or so. Anything under 0.5 miles they are suppose to deliver to. The first certified letter they put in mailbox out on the main public road. I never signed...

    Local Installer - Received Pending Lien notices

    I just had Solar installed on my home in NH from a company in MA. I paid 50% up front. Couple days before install I get this certified letter of Pending Lien based on delivering the panels if they are not paid for. Not from the installer. But from the company delivering the panels. I only...

    When did you last touch your brake pedal?

    Not often enough, already failed inspection on my Volt with 19K miles for to much one pedal driving. And my Model S sounds worse than volt did. All the rust was on the inside. I work the brakes often on the S to keep my rotors from being trashed which will cost way more than what regen will...

    Roof rack vs rear hitch rack for bicycles

    There isn’t much point in showing the cover on because it looks exactly like it does with no hitch. Here is my post installing it. It’s exactly like the Model X. Cover and all. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/trailer-hitch-on-2021-refresh.234094/page-5#post-6653697

    Roof rack vs rear hitch rack for bicycles

    I’d never put a roof rack on. Pain to put bike’s up there. Probably a bigger hit on efficiency. More likely to damage car getting bike up and down. Hitch is a breeze to install. I tow often and occasionally use the bike rack.

    2018 P100D vs 2019 Performance (raven) which to buy?

    2022 X class iii hitch receiver vertical wt limit

    The X has a 50-50 weight distribution and is not prone to lifting front wheels from the hitch any more than others. It’s the hitch that can’t deal with lever effect. Many vehicles require a weight redistribution hitch when trailer is over a certain weight. The X doesn’t (even though it’s a...

    Rivian vs Model Y

    Y is more efficient. Y Goes further on a smaller battery. So you get more miles out for the same kWh in. Same reason each Tesla charges at a different mph rate.

    Model S might be…. Better?

    You will get better at driving it more smoothly as opposed to getting more used poor driving. My dogs are the most sensitive to motion sickness and they are fine. Nobody ever has an issue in my car. But I have had issues in in friends that have EV’s that don’t drive smooth. There has been...
