    Cybertruck clearance / identification / id marker lights (lamps)

    Damn, I’m slipping… the 86”/95” numbers threw me off. But no mirrors at 79.9” explains it.

    Cybertruck clearance / identification / id marker lights (lamps)

    So this is something that bothers me a lot recently. I’ve watched quite a few YouTubes and nobody mentions the lack of top side marker and id marker lights. I don’t personally care about the roof markers, but I’d like to know if the CT falls under some exception for “not high enough vehicle” or...

    Cybertruck AC L2 charging onboard charger specs

    I owe you all an apology - I was not aware the same circuitry could be used for both applications. I should have assumed it was a possibility and researched that.

    Cybertruck AC L2 charging onboard charger specs

    I agree - sounds plausible. But doesn't make it a fact. That's what I was looking for. Unless I am missing something, there is no "bi-directional charger". There is a charger and an inverter, and maybe a DC converter (800V DC to 48V DC for example). So your assumption is short sighted that both...

    Blind spot camera location

    It’s kind of hard for me to get used to see in the same area video form the left and the right repeater. And I have been using it since it became available. If it is just me then I guess I have to live with it. Also having left and right separated would let you know which blinker you have...

    Blind spot camera location

    Hi all, Not sure who or where to ask, but I think I have a very good idea about blind spot camera location. When there is a left turn signal on the camera to be in the display’s top left corner. When the right blinker is on - top right corner. The location to be configurable only in settings...

    Cybertruck AC L2 charging onboard charger specs

    I honestly think the 11kw is enough. It was just a little tingle inside me that was screaming: “More is possible! It has been done before!” ;)

    Cybertruck AC L2 charging onboard charger specs

    No, maybe I think it is more of a guide to charging - where all models (but CT) and their charging speeds are mentioned. Anyhow - if anybody can point to a place where CT’s L2 charging spec is described, that would be great. Thank you.

    Cybertruck AC L2 charging onboard charger specs

    Has anybody seen anywhere what the onboard charger will take? I know currently the max is 48A of what you can find on the market, but I still have a Wall connectors that are 80A max and would like to know if I can take advantage. Tesla has nothing in the manual for charging about CT and not...

    2017 Model X vs 2023 Model X

    You are correct - it is a feature that goes side by side with EAP/FSD, but it is dependent on the USS. I asked about it and I was told this here in the forum:

    Smart Summon missing from Model X 2023.32.7

    Well, I guess it’s all personal preference, but I hate opening roofs. I can count the times on my fingers when I used them in the past 15 years on my cars (they all had it). And I forgot once to close it and it rained. So definitely use auto park and summon a lot more than an opening roof. But...

And it might help somebody that is looking into buying a 2023 X. 2023 Model X vs 2017 Model X This will not be a power/spec/features comparison, instead I will try to be brief about what caught my attention. I recently upgraded...

    Smart Summon missing from Model X 2023.32.7

    I hear ya - that's why I like Tesla. But if it worked fine and they removed the feature (summon) for what I can only think of is cost saving (no USS)... That is where my frustration comes from.

    Smart Summon missing from Model X 2023.32.7

    Hi, I upgraded from 2018 M3 to 2023 MX and transferred the FSD. For the past month I've been trying to figure out how to enable Summon/Smart Summon only to find out it might not be available anymore. My M3 was on 2023.7.30 and had the summon/smart summon. It might be that it still had the...

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    But yes - the setup is similar in your video. You have missing marking between the lanes when it widens if that matters so drifting is the right word. I got a blinker and an intentional lane change. I noticed you have stalks - are you on HW4 with a retrofit stalks or with a HW3 with a yoke? Or...

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    That is correct - it is 55mph. Steady traffic though - both lanes well above 60mph. You would be a hazard to go 55mph when everybody is driving faster. Speaking of obeying the the rules - FSD turns me into an old lady driver. I didn't have a choice but to use Tesla insurance (my insurance...

    Autopilot was about to kill me

    First, I am sorry about the clickbait title. I am a proud owner of a new model X (decided to take advantage of FSD transfer option). To give you some background - I've been an FSD beta tester since it was available (after a strenuous couple of weeks and a 99 safety score) for couple of years...

    Available Tesla Model 3 Performance Winter 20” Wheelset

    I have an extra set of wheels with 433mhz TPMS and winter tires on them. The tires are winter performance tires: 235/35R-20 MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN PA4. Have about 10,000-15,000 miles on them. The wheels have very minor curb rash on the edge but it’s so small you can’t see it on the pics. TST 20"...

    AC and seat heaters malfunction

    I am not sure exactly to what degree my problems are malfunctions or features so I have to describe it all. AC set on AUTO only turns the vents up (windshield) no matter the temp - LO all the way to HI. When I switch to manual control it seems that it works as intended. Then it gets annoying...

    Adjusting Windshield Wiper Arm (Park Location)

    I just had my windshield replaced at safelite. Both of my wipers are not in place (where the glass marks are. Driver side is pretty close about 1/2 inch up, put passenger side is like 4 inches up. I can see it from the inside in rest position. I’d rather go back and ask the “experts” to do it.

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    Hey Rocky_H, I apologize if I insulted you. It looks like my false statements are based on: 1. I didn’t bother to check what plugs were used in EU pre-2019 (I assumed or trusted what “I’ve heard”) 2. I guess you can’t rely too much on tesla documentation. Again - You are right on all accounts...

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    Hi there, I was wondering if you were able to charge with 22KW as the charger (wall connector) is rated at 32A. 69km/hr translates to 11KW charging (tesla's estimate). I suspect the car is just not able to charge at 22KW but the information is scarse and I would like to hear from somebody that...

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    I am sorry to bust your balls, but that doesn't make sense to me. All the early Model S that came with a dual 11kw (total of 22kw) chargers were single phase and using the Tesla plug both in the US and the EU. The 3 phase HPWC Gen 3 the OP mentions is a 3 phase with the EU level 2 charging plug...

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    Yes, you are right. You could use a step up transformer, but that is far away from practical and efficient. You will need some space to put the transformer, have panel/disconnect after it, with all the appropriate cabling/conduits etc. This will cost you a lot and if you don't get a good...

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    That’s because I used one leg from a 277/480v 3 phase. You can find this in industrial environment only. AFAIK

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    Oh, and the Model S used to have dual single phase charger. I was hoping for a true three phase charger with the EU charge connector.

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    We that was my understanding as well. What is the purpose of having 22kw wall connector if there is no tesla with a higher than 11kw charger? Maybe other brand vehicles? Cybertruck?

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    What I’d like to know is - Does the EU/UK model 3 and Y have a 11kw or 22kw 3 phase charging capability?
  33. J

    Gen 3 wall charger installed 3 phase 400v 32amp

    270-280V works fine with a wall charger gen2. M3p charger maxes at 13kw. See how the max current is not reaching 48A

    2018 Model 3 Long Range Premium Red, 2400 miles, $47k in Virginia

    I had this one since Oct 2018, soon after that I got a blue performance one. I thought this could be an extra car my family uses, but my wife said size matters and Model 3 doesn't cut it so will probably get an X instead. It has Enhanced Autopilot. Also got the all weather trunk mat. Got a...

    Claims for 1min EV charging time

    Many good points here. About the 360A current - insulation will be much different (I suppose) at 10KV than the <400V on the superchargers. And there are a lot of variables as mentioned above - capacity of the batteries, operating voltage etc. But the bottom line is you have to transfer 60KWh in...

    480/240V transformer powering wall connector

    Not sure about J-1772, but I couldn't catch the idea behind the 120 HPWC... I guess you could put up to 4HPWC on each leg and use load sharing my master/slave configuration. So these 4 could not go over the capacity of the 100A wire. 3 phases - total of 12 HPWC. So I guess a 100A 3p480 circuit...

    480/240V transformer powering wall connector

    So I got that HPWC directly to the one leg of the 480V (278-280V). With the HPWC set to 48A I only get 47A. After voltage drop there are 270V applied to the car. So 270V*47A=12,690W looks to be the capacity of the Model 3 charger.

    Claims for 1min EV charging time

    I've been thinking for a while about all the promises from Fisker and other (future) EV manufacturers about a 1min charging time. Not that much about the vehicles themselves or their batteries, but the infrastructure required to do that. Let's do some assumptions: 200Wh/m (very optimistic...

    Scraping noise under Model 3. Open plastic shield.

    I got it replaced as well. They did both the front and the rear shields. The new ones are revision B (stamped on the shield instead of A) and are a bit stiffer, but same type - plastic with fabric-ish coating. Also noticed the front of the rear shield has a little curvature up (second pic), so...

    M3 issue in the Colorado Mountains

    To OP: I have both performance (20” wheels) and a LR RWD with the 18” aero. I researched for winter tires for the P3D and found no one was able to put 18” wheels on “red brakes”. If you get 19”s that are extra wide inside to fit the brakes and modified for the hub it could work, but no 18. I...

    Scraping noise under Model 3. Open plastic shield.

They checked and said there is a new revision of the part with “strengthened material”. Will post pictures...

    Scraping noise under Model 3. Open plastic shield.

    Scraping noise under Model 3. Open plastic shield.

    @ngogas your what was missing? Judging from the pics there are 3 clips missing at each wheel well (2 for the performance). So I am missing total of 10 of these between both cars.

    Scraping noise under Model 3. Open plastic shield.

    Ah, I see. As much as I like this car, there are a lot of straight DUMB “engineering” decisions. I still like driving it, but it kind of kills the joy when you know it. I gotta start a thread about the most annoying things in the car. Or look for one :)
