The rocker area doesn't seal anything, so no issues. The rest looks like water condensate, but put a white paper towel under to catch it, to see if there's any color that might indicate it's something besides water.

I'm inclined to think it's a big A-pillar. The driver is probably related to a T-Rex; as it can't see you, if you're not moving! Did you honk at her as she was moving towards you?

Okay, I see a woman's hand waves at you. Was the A-pillar in her Acura blocking her view? Was she on her phone? Was it just reflex for her to drive down the ramp? Bummer.

The first image I used is from Recurrent. You can sign up for free. They send me a monthly report, including stuff like this: The second is from ABRP, also known as ABRP. I think Rivian bought them, but most of their data is from Tesla. They are a good trip planner, but as Tesla's planner has...

That's not what the chart is showing, which is why I said it's ridiculous, because people will be confused.

The errors seem to indicate the valve isn't moving as much as required.

Weird chart! Why combine two ideas, deg and efficiency, when that's only going to confuse people? Below is the Recurrent chart for my car. Clearly, my 3 is an outlier in their data. Not top mention my battery's age is over 2000 days, so I'm off their chart. As for efficiency: I been averaging...

Put that cloth down, and check the color, because it looks rather watery in the images. It only takes a tiny drop of oil to create a rainbow.

So, excited, I ordered a new license plate. It should be here in a few weeks!

From Stats: From SMT: There's been some aging, from 77.8kWh, which is an estimated figure, down to NFP showing 76.3kWh, still in the top buffer, so it's going to show the original 310 miles at 100%.

My 5 ½ yr old 3 has 66k miles. It's been mechanically good. Been to a service center for 2 things, the upper control arm squeak, and the passenger airbag alert. All fixed under warranty. I just put on my 3rd set of tires. Last set lasted 28k. I've had a 12v battery change. My HV battery has 100%...

My 30-day trial subscription expires today, v12.3.6, and it's been amazing for me. I drove 500mi to Villanova for my nephew's graduation on Friday, had dinner after, and left at midnight for the 500mi drive back home, and without FSDb it would have been impossible for me to do on my own. Maybe...

Without looking at anything, the diff between your payment total and the $26k looks to be $7500.

I'm in Maine, and my 3 has lived outside in a temporary carport for the last 5 ½ yrs. It's doing great. No issues, minimal battery deg. Everyone tells me the battery likes it cold. Strangely, before Maine, I lived north of Montreal in Quebec province, as a boy, over 50yrs ago, and garages were...

Good memory. Yes, it came home delivered to a rest stop, since I live on a narrow dirt road, with Zero SOC at the end of the day. Driver said he loaded it that way, so he wouldn't take my suggestion of just unloading at the end of my dirt road and letting me roll it downhill the 1/4mi to my...

Tap your release notes, and it'll show you that 3.25 includes 12.3.6

Yep, check to see if there's bird poop in front of the camera.

Yes, but I keep waiting to hear from Tesla owners in Canada and Norway about how their batteries are doing. I mean, it's at least as cold as Maine, right?

Yes, it's true. I usually park it here at the free destination charger at the ski resort. I like that it's close to the primary lift! That's 2 weeks ago.

Outside in my temporary carport. I jury-rigged a couple pieces of wood with white tape, and yes, it'll park, but not all that well. Yes, I'm getting a new license plate! It was approved!

Well, in the thousands of posts I've made, I've detailed it a few times. It's not complex. I got it in December of 2018, and set my nightly charge to 80%, within 6 months, I had changed to 60%, based upon reading that the cathode cracked at 3.92V. I estimated that was 63%, so I decided to charge...

Ski season is mostly over, only a couple weekends left at Killington, so I took out my skis, raised the back seats, got back there, removed the console cover and re-plugged in my OBDII reader, and opened the SMT app to see what it said, since I haven't had it plugged in since January. So, after...

Looks totally cosmetic. I hope it's not too expensive.

Your Tesla: Good Morning, Moe, you seem a little heavy today, my seat sensor can barely breathe. We'll skip stopping at Tim Horton's this morning and take you to the Planet Fitness instead. It was cold last night, so my battery is a little lower than when I finished charging. Still we should...

I've been subscribed since Thanksgiving. I have EAP. The FSDb v12 is great, as far as I'm concerned. I have to drive 160+miles roundtrip every time I ski, and I skied 42x this year, as of today, my last day. It makes it so much easier to drive there and back. I couldn't do it so often if I...

Do you think some of that might be software as opposed to hardware?

Did you get the one month trial? I've had EAP, and have been testing FSDb since Thanksgiving. On the highway, there's no difference, as I think the software stack is the same. My understanding due to compute restraints they haven't been working on updating the highway stack. However, that was a...

Yes, sometimes insurance companies will settle, because settling is less expensive than proving which one was at fault.

Based upon the picture evidence, I don't believe your scenario occurred. If you look at the impact on the Tesla, it's not a 90° t-bone impact. It shows a peeled can effect on the rear door, due to an oblique impact. The impact was slow. One of them was turning. If you imagine the Tesla turning...

Hmmm...biting my tongue. Okay, you got the last word!

Do you have any before/after pics from the repeaters?

Uhm, you should be talking to YOUR insurance company, not the other driver's. Your insurance will deal with the other one. The other driver can say whatever they like, but the story has to fit the evidence. The basic evidence is he has damage to the front of his Prius. You have damage on the...

Yes, but complaining about things that we can all agree will naturally improve over time is just odd, and I'm not being complacent. I just don't state things that are obvious nor complain about things I have no control over.

But what if it is the "best curve"? It's a tradeoff no? Faster DC charge rates, increase deg, no? They have the most battery data, no? Do I know better than them? Maybe! I still have zero deg after 5 ½ yrs and 64k miles! Yes, 5 min charge times would be nice, would probably take a chemistry...

The Prius hit you in the side. I think the damage makes it obvious what happened.

Charging, sure, everyone wants faster charging, who doesn't? Having said that, I will from time2time, look at a big roadtrip I've taken, Maine to Denver. It's faster now with V3 chargers than V2 chargers. When I first did it, the average stop took 17m. Now, 13m. I barely have time to get out...

Impressive level of detail! I can't remember that much, not to mention things that would bother me initially, I would eventually just get used to, so some things were just normal adaptation issues. A few comments on your experience: • Delivery, it's different and annoying, happens only once...

I use Chill and low Regen for a driver setting I call "SnowDay". And, if I let someone else drive my car, I set it to SnowDay, because it's the closest feeling to a regular ICE in terms of acceleration and braking.

I didn't know the FSD buy price had decreased. Now, I'm tempted to get it!

I used half-sized breakers to create more space in my panel.

Huh, that's not the way mine works. It works the way you'd expect:

Okay, I'm still confused. Your repeater cams are not very usable to watch your blind spot? I mentioned it in another post, recently, but I found my rear cam and repeater cams have improved over time. I assumed it was software updates. My frame rate used to be lousy, seeming like 5fps, but now...

Interesting. Maybe it's because I don't use the browser, so I don't notice. My backup cam seems quick enough though.

I've only changed my filters once, pro-actively, in 5 ½ yrs. Maine is usually dry, but we've had record amounts of rain in the past year, so pretty humid. No issues really.

Mine's December '18, made in October. I upgraded my chip to HW3 and it runs V12 just great. No issues. This is from earlier this week, when I had this giant truck appear on my screen, so I looked at it with my cameras to see how close it actually was. As you can see, the cameras look good! What...

What's wrong with Atom?

Sounds like it was busy! Was it raining a lot? That can trigger the cameras to do lots of unnecessary recording, which can easily eat up more than 1 mi/hr of range.

I paid the $1000 charge, but it was worth it to me. The FSDb has been great. Some people got better deals, but that's life.

HW3? When did that become standard?

Did you get them on camera?
