For those searching in the future, you can calculate the extension cord size in AWG for charging using this web app: https://www.inchcalculator.com/wire-size-calculator/ For extension cord, you double the wire length (because 150x2 or 300 feet in the OPs case) and set the acceptable voltage...

The only way you can be creating 240v split-phase power ( +/-120v, ground-referenced) from a 240v single-phase inverter is by using a 1:1 transformer with a center-tap. The center-tap output potential of the split-phase transformer would need to be ground-referenced for the Tesla to accept it...

@geordi Feel free to DM me if you’d like help “fixing” the marker resistors in your extension cable. It really should be pretty easy. If you’ve lost interest and we are on our own, please let us know.

There was in my car too… until I filled that space with a 500Wh LiFePhO4 pack to bolster the existing AGM battery and serviced as a “buffer” to run my 1000W sine wave inverter for all my car camping cooking needs, without throwing codes 😜 I used to run it direct from the battery, but Tesla...

Also, PROTIP: select the 20" performance wheels in your vehicle setup screen in order to minimize speedometer error when fitting oversized tires. These are the possible stock tire diameters: 235/45R18: 26.3", 766 Revs/Mile 235/40R19: 26.4", 764 Revs/Mile 235/35R20: 26.5" 762 Revs/Mile By...

I'm curious how the 255s looked on your Aeros. Post up a pic here with them ! I installed 255/35R20 Pilot Sport 4S on my Zero-G 20x9 ET34 wheels to try and give them a bit more protection due to the horrible roads we have in the SF Bay Area (see my avatar). After having them installed, I'm...

Here’s those pics I promised of the disassembled adapter I mentioned above. Btw- did you find out how many ohms those resistors on the PP line are ? You should be able to determine the value of each of them by comparing first the resistance between PP and GND, engaging S1, then measuring again...

I bought this J1772-to-NACS adapter to build a custom L2 adapter (long story). Disassembly was easy by first removing the flange portion from the J1772 side using an oscillating multitool, then once mostly flush with the J1772 inner insulator stand off (that houses the recessed J1772 side pins)...

Ah, okay, for sizing purposes makes sense. I wonder if there were some way I could perform some maximum power measurements on my stock premium sub with the goal of you being able to adjust the gain down on your 500.1 so you could gain insight as to what drivers you believe would be efficient...

Exciting !!! I'm super curious about possible stock premium ss subwoofer upgrade, and yes, was hesitant to just roll the dice on a $200 sub that might be no better with the stock amp than the original 🤑 so that's awesome you have the stock amp coming. My only concern is that according to this...

Additional data for all posterity... 27.5" max tire diameter is correct, as originally reported by Apex Race Parts (although they've since removed this info from their model 3 fitment guide 🤷) Larger than that, the top of the tire hits the upper front ball joint mount of the knuckle. That...

re: buffer batteries, I have a relatively small 20Ah 4S8P A123 LiFeP04 pre-made pack strapped to the inverter that I used to ensure the wiring to the front mounted AGM battery cannot be grossly overloaded if the DC-DC converter shuts off for any reason (I don’t want to find out the battery...

I have zero issues using a quality extension cord going to my MC with my non-limited NEMA 14-50 to NEMA 5-15/20 custom made adapter. My Terrabloom 14awg SJOOW cord is super pliable, has quality nickel plated connectors on each end, 105°C rated insulation, lighted receptacle end that supports...

Any update on your progress ? Yes, dropping the trailer every time I need to SC I getting really old !

Has anyone done looked at the before/after RTA of swapping the stock subwoofer with the L7T8 and RWAudio's adapter plate while still using the stock Tesla premium sound amp ?

Darthbenji: Were you successful in installing your Aero Gen 2 covers on your Aero Gen 1 wheels ?

My friend [SIC] connected their 1100W sine wave inverter with an Amass XT90 "anti-spark" connector which is designed for high-powered remote control vehicles with large brushless speed controllers with correspondingly large smoothing capacitors, so it includes a resistor tip that is designed to...

Thanks for the reminder not to feed the trolls !

Has anyone tried putting the Aero V2 over the P3 PUP rear brakes ? -=dave

Function as designed: Scrub radius - Wikipedia Ps- to the person asking what tire I went with, I put that in a previous post: 255/35 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S retail version (purchased from Costco with rebate for total installed price that was $50 more than what I sold the 4 new 235/35R20 PS4S...

If you haven’t observed the general lack of crossover performance vehicle enthusiasts in the countless Tesla FB groups, TY channels, many forums, etc, then I’m actually envious. It’s generally an endless stream of yet another FB post about some guys new wheel + tire + slammed spring install or...

MasterC17 and FlyNavy01, thanks a lot for the earnest recommendations. I’ll circle back at some point with any followup info/experience that might be useful for others. kbecks: if your advice was that of an equipment weenie, it wouldn’t be worth the electrons it was transmitted on ;)

Any update on Quadrac Pro efficiency numbers from anyone ?

I attended TeslaCorsa 2 which was enough to realize that 1) stock pads are worse than my fiancé’s stock Civic pads… pathetic really, and 2) I don’t need to be tracking my $80k DD that would need about $8k of upgrades to be able to barely meet the fun factor of my E36 M3 in order to get a single...

No, this is ICE vehicle MPG, not efficiency percentages. On an average ICE passenger vehicle 26.0 vs 26.8 MPG equates to 1296 vs 1248 Wh/mi so nearly a 50 Wh/mi difference which is certainly pretty huge. I’ve been researching the exact thing the OP was looking for (a fuel efficient tire that...

I’d imagine the front pads to be the priority upgrade over the rears. Is there a reason you opted for the rears over the fronts? Or is it because to have the Endless pads on the front and for some reason they don’t drag like the rears ? I’ve got a $500 credit with Tesla that will expire shortly...

So either version will fit on either vehicle with OEM 235/35 “TO” PS4Ses. The difference is that the ET34 are intended to maintain the correct scrub radius for vehicles with what was originally called the Performance Upgrade Package, while the ET40 maintains the correct scrub radius for non-PUP...

I have to admit that now that I have them on the car, I don’t have the heart to sell them ♥️ btw- The 255/35 fit perfectly and give a lot more comfort/performance/bottom out protection plus look 10x better than the xx 235s, although they do give up the quiet and efficiency of the OEM 235...

Well that settles the debate: there’s no way the bolt would have punched a cracked hole through like weigh without any bending deformation like that if they were actually manufactured using a standard forging process. Gah, it looks just like the countless cast iron engine blocks I’ve seen with...

Siminoff, you wouldn’t happen to know how many grams or ounces your adapter/8L0 011 031 aluminum jack combo is ? I’m trying to figure out how much more it is than the Porsche scissor jack setup. I much prefer the added safety of the more robust lever arm over the weaker scissor mechanism if...

You seem to not understand the goal of using the far-more-expensive forging process to manufacture wheels ? Hint: It's not to make a wheel that costs 4x as much to produce but is no better than the adequately-strong cast version. There is a reason Tesla doesn't build its aluminum doors on the...

At this weight, it's hard to believe these are fully forged wheels at all. Guess we'll have to wait for someone to crash one before we can know for sure...

Anyone who thinks they have "0" hasn't yanked each wheel off and spun them on a balancer to see the inside edge of the barrel :-p Moving from the relatively low load range OEM 235/35 R20 92Y (1389lbs) PS4S to 245/35 R20 95W (1521lbs) M+S rated tires, the ride driving in war zone like San...

Same here: first time last night. Haven't investigated the drive contents yet but suspect this isn't related to the vehicle but something else instead… like perhaps the Sentry Mode servers were offline at the time (or encountered some regression if they recently updated the Sentry Mode back end...

Rooted Tesla Model 3 running Ubuntu and Youtube : teslamotors

Had my perf 3 at the Service Center with 36.4 and it was at 39.6 when I picked it up yesterday. I've had to reboot the console 3 times to "fix" audio after it goes wonky while playing from phone (Music, Spotify, Waze, Podcast, doesn't matter... they all are affected). It will play fine for a...

Suspect it's the issue causing HVAC blower to stop functioning which has a fix coming in .40. Perhaps they observed fewer cases on 36.1 :shrug: -=dave
