Slightly off topic but can one start the light show through the app? It seems klugy that one needs to go into the car and set the menus up and then get out to show it. It would be great if we could just start it from our phones while at a car show or ride and drive.

Sorry but I disagree as ideology is ALWAYS part of the issue. We as humans have many problems confronting us. We have several significant wars, poverty, unwanted immigration, large deficit spending, high inflation, hunger/starvation, climate change,.......... So what is the priority? Which...

Assuming the PowerWall is similar to my FranklinWH AC coupled battery, if the batteries are above say 85% solar is turned off if how loads are modest as it has no where to put the power. The FranklinWH, at least on paper, has a good black start capability. A black start is when your battery...

So please help me understand this. As it seems he is having great difficulty in supplying his troops in Ukraine. If he can't supply them now where is he getting the additional munitions?

While I think the person with 9 shares should be behind bars, I personally think he has little to do with the share price. Bigger factors include in no particular order: A) Flat or declining sales, WAY different than 50% average growth a year. B) Margins are in decline. C) CyberTruck...

From my Roadster days you needed to be above 82% to balance with 100% being better. Most lithium batteries have a fairly flat voltage curve from 20-80% so it is very challenging to balance as the voltage is nearly the same. But at high and low voltages you see the imbalance between cells...

I would and I do. Below 80% the cells are unable to balance. So range is at the lowest calculated brick. A 100% charge calibrates the BMS and allows cells to balance. I am at 127,000 miles and am at 93% of new.

Heck not sure I have even gotten 30 minutes.

I do not count 800,000 a trivial number. From my quick research that is 8X the forced labor in China. Employment According to a 2022 American Civil Liberties Union report, about 800,000 people work in state and federal adult prisons, with most jobs related to prison maintenance, laundry, or...

While I have done this a few times with a Lowes run, there are few "standards" so one needs to be flexible. First a 120V outlet will often work. So be prepared to use that. If the owner is open to you using the dryer outlet, remember most dryers are 30A and so 24A of sustained charging. The...

For my hybrids have a place, a small place, but we like towing a small camper and preferer National Parks and National Forests where the nearest plug can be 30+ miles away. Our RAV4 Prime fits the bill nicely. If we have power we plug in and get some 40 miles of EV range for touring around...

I struck out and it is frustrating. If you look at the screen, or at least if I look at the screen I get a strike. Annoying when Tesla reroutes you and you are trying to see what is going on. So far I am not impressed. While helpful, all passengers so far greatly prefer my driving and cringe...

Build an energy efficient home. I get by with 1040 kWh/month with 2 EVs and an all electric home. I do have passive solar, ICF walls and SIP roof. www.amazon.com/Driving-Net-Stories-Carbon-Future/dp/0692143831

Does the app work? You may have a faulty release servo. I had to get mine replaced early on as they had a bad batch I was told.

Sorry but I just went to the service center for the 2nd time in over 6 years to get my computer upgraded for free thanks to FSD. Service was good, I test drove a Model 3 Highland, amazing and I found out they replaced my 12v for free and I was NOT having any issues. I do not know how they...
