    Tighten fitment of interior Dash/Airbag cover on model 3

    I think the wood cover part can easily be removed and readjusted and migh fix the issue? Maybe just puch hard on the very top part of the dash cover to check if everything is holding tight. Or maybe, after removing this wood cover, you could see if anything looks wrong, like an air vent or a...

    Model Y or 3 Highland?

    Take the Model Y Long Range 4WD and get rid of your aging BMW which would become more and costly to maintain and insurance payments. There is no maintenace cost on Tesla except tires and no dealerships and their mechanics to get scam by. If you can, then wait for the Juniper update, but beside...

    Semi General Discussion

    In fact, it is not uncommon to have to replace tires on tractors or trailers. Also it might not be easy to keep track of a trailer's tire mileage. If you remember, at the time of the presentation, the Semi were using the Michelin super single tire instead of the dual tires combination. In...

    Semi General Discussion

    Also the Tesla Semi don't have (yet) a cabin with a sleeping area, so maybe Tesla would provide some kind of Uber ride to a motel and restaurant when charging the batteries and taking a required rest. While some local Tesla technicians would take care of the charging and machanic work, like...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    Unless there will be superchargers every 50 to 100 miles, to be able to replace ICEs or and PHEVs, EVs will need to get get more range. Have you ever try to travel in Montana with an EV? For many years I would like to viisit the Glacier National Park, but I would have to rent an ICE to do that.

    The permit is for 60 stalls and 15 cabinets (typically for 4 pedestals of 250 kW) and two transformers. Looking at the Google satellite view, it seems that there are about 65 parking spots. Since there should be some double spots for ADA access, the number of 60 stalls seems appropriate. I...
