    Any reason not to hook up a battery tender to the 12 volt battery ?

    UPDATE August 29, 2020: Since the posting of this video this is still working out great for me. I park for long periods of time. I installed in other car as well and the two cars stored in the garage are all set when I drive the other two commuter cars. It’s stored and on both chargers right now.

    Will Tesla ever allow battery upgrades?

    Crash it. Get a better model with insurance and gap insurance. Or sell it and upgrade. Most of us who own Tesla’s will never keep one long enough to worry about it. It’s just like owning an iPhone or android. When a new one comes out techies get the new one. Besides who owns their very first...

    Installing a 12v 5amp Battery Tender to the 12v Battery on 2016 Tesla Model S P90D

    These are excellent suggestions that I will follow to prevent accidentally leaving plugged in. I will not be charging my 12v battery daily or not frequently so I will need to remember your suggestions. I plan to only do this when I will be leaving my vehicle for long periods of time unused...

    Installing a 12v 5amp Battery Tender to the 12v Battery on 2016 Tesla Model S P90D

If you don't get to drive your Tesla much due to travel or if you park for long periods of time for work trips or vacations or If you own and drive other vehicles and your tesla sits then the 12v battery will die in 7 months to a year. The less you drive it...

    Supercharger - Riverdale Park, MD

    This was an old post during the construction phase. I am very satisfied and like this location. Great food and shops in the area. I love the District Taco and the other food places to eat once you park.

I just happened to luck up and see them on the ground level towards intersection side of the lot while driving up that...
