I transferred free supercharging from my 2018 Model X to a 2023 Model Y in December 2023. They had the free supercharging working within just a few minutes after my purchase of the MY so I was able to supercharge at no cost 15 minutes after my purchase. I was paranoid that it would work...

You should enlist the expertise of a qualified electrician rather than rely on a bunch of us Internet armchair 'experts'. There are numerous electrical code related requirements that have not been properly addressed here in this thread. For example, once you have more than two circuits in your...

20A @ 240v is going to give you 15 MPH charge rate on a MY. That's 150 miles of charge during a 10 hour overnight charge. Unless your daily commute is way over 100 miles each day, that's a very good charge rate. Since it will presumably be quite inexpensive to add a 2 pole 20A breaker in your...

The EPA published range is if you drive 55 MPH 55% of the time, 45 MPH 45% of the time. The EPA performs this test on a dynamometer in ideal temperature conditions. Then they derate by 30% and that's the number you get on your window sticker. The wind resistance on your car is a function of...

Is there a functionality problem with the car when this occurs? Can you not get from point A to point B the next day? The % charge is an estimate. When any battery charges, you don't really know the final charge amount until it settles out to its final values sometime after the charge...

OEM front plate holder working fine for me. I run the car through car washes without any problems

I have seen that twice. When I removed all destinations in navigation and pushed the right steering wheel button to give the voice command 'show superchargers', they re-appeared no longer grey. For some odd reason, once it had selected the superchargers for my destination, it was greying out the...

I self-installed a module from eBay mid December on a December 2023 new MYLR. Has continued working with the new 2024 software releases so far. It was NOT about saving $100, it was about driving 3.5 hours each direction to the closest Tesla service center vs. spending about 30 minutes to...

Are you pressing the 'show superchargers' button on the right side of the navigation screen? Have you tried the 'show superchargers' voice command?

Either A) You lead a charmed life B) We have more hot air in our family Mine occasionally fogs just like every other car I have owned.

'Recall' is an antiquated term. This is just an over-the-air software update that happens automatically. There is no need to take your car in for service, Tesla just downloads the fix during the next update. It is the beauty of owning a Tesla but the Fox News pundits are clueless and love to...

Yup, AFU now. It is really getting old how each new software release has gotten worse over the last 6 years of Tesla ownership. Wipers worked for about a year, now AFU. Cruise control now forces wipers into auto mode but auto wipers are beyond terrible. Cruise control essentially does not work...

I think the radar detector is a great idea. It is much too easy to speed in a Tesla since there is essentially no difference in the sound or feel of the car between 60 and 80 MPH. The cruise control and autopilot are close to useless because of phantom braking, cameras that can't see in the...

So you don't own Tesmanian but when someone who actually owns one says the V2 is a perfect fit, you suggest you know better because of a video that is not even of the latest V2 version of the Tesmanian mats. The V2 Tesmanian has no gaps, plus cleverly uses Velcro on the front mats to keep them...

OK, I'll bite. 'In another league' in what respect? Since the V2 Tesmanians fit perfectly on a Y, stay in place, are easy to clean, and I expect they will hold up well, what other criteria exist to make your Maxpider mats 'in another league'? What feature have I not considered to make paying...

Perfect fit front and back mats. The front mats also include velcro to keep the mats locked in place: good idea. The V2 have shallower grooves, I think? They are not a hard plastic but semi-pliable so they look great, work great. Only negative is that the cargo mat does move around, but that...

I just put the Tesmanian version 2 in my Y. Very nice, pliable, easy to clean and price was excellent.

No need to mess with the screen. Tap the wiper stalk button, then use the steering wheel left scroll wheel left/right to select wiper speed. Knowing that you can change wiper speeds without having to mess with the touchscreen takes a little bit of the sting out of using the awful wipers. I...

That's exactly what your phone's Bluetooth does so you can operate the door latches: wakes up the car based on phone Bluetooth proximity. Without the fob, you only have the two factory options you listed to open the frunk: 1) Use the app controls. 2) Use the vehicle touchscreen. I'm unclear...

Your maximum allowed current with the hardwired Home Flex depends entirely on how your electrician wired that circuit to your Home Flex. Assuming he/she installed a 50 amp breaker (and the correct wire size for that breaker), somebody should have used the chargepoint install app, or the setup...

I use my mobile charger frequently when on the road. I have charged at locations with 14-50, 6-50, 10-30, 6-30, TT-30 and 5-15 receptacles so I keep adapters for all those (and CCS + J1772) on hand. I bought every mobile charger adapter offered by Tesla so I would be able to charge anywhere but...

Here's a link to an older post comparing the Hubbell, Bryant, Cooper and Leviton brand 14-50R receptacles (ordered here from best quality to worst). Great post because it has pictures of each one. Basically, the Leviton is a cheap, terrible design, probably good enough for your oven, but not...

It frequently has you stop too early or suggests sub-optimum scenarios, like you described. I try different scenarios by using the voice command 'show superchargers', press 'remove charging stops' on navigation and then zoom out far enough to select other supercharger locations than the ones it...

With the Tesla 120V/15A adapter (a standard 5-15P plug) on your mobile charger, the mobile charger will draw a maximum of 12A (80% of 15A) which yields about 5 MPH charging rate for a Y. So yes, you can just plug in the mobile charger to any handy 120V outlet, but keep in mind if you have...

Hey @Eric33432, I think you disagreed with me but then ended up saying the same thing as my post regarding the GFCI neutral wiring. The line side of a 2-pole GFCI must include a neutral wire from the feeder (per the Schneider Figure 3 drawing): the GFCI pigtail connects to this neutral wire. No...

Looking at that subpanel picture, it is fair to say your electrician's competence is questionable. There are so many things wrong at first glance: 1) Using a GFCI breaker, as already discussed. A GFCI breaker should not feed an internally GFCI-protected device (the wall charger), just ups the...

Hmm, its not clear you understand the difference between the wall charger and the mobile charger? You used the term 'home charger' in your original post and it appears most of us assumed you meant wall charger, but maybe you actually meant mobile charger? - The wall charger is permanently...

With your wall charger set for a 60A breaker (48A charging) on a standard 240V circuit (as opposed to the less common 208V), L2 charging of our Y LR is roughly 50 minutes for every 10% of battery charging. L2 charging stays extremely linear at that rate until you reach around 98%, then starts...

Since that wire is not large enough for a 60A breaker, put a 50A breaker on your wall charger circuit which will give you 40A of continuous charge current. You'll get about 37 MPH of charge into a Y that way (assuming you have the typical 240V at your house instead of the less common 208V)...

Yes, that principle is correct, but does NOT apply for the initial charge before a road trip. As @gtae07 clearly explained, you'll always spend less total charging time on a road trip by starting out with more charge. So go ahead and charge to 100% immediately before a road trip: it saves...

We charge to 100% immediately before any road trips. We make road trips every couple weeks. I set the charging to 90% the night before a trip, get up in the morning and crank it up to 100%. Usually reaches 98-99% before we finish packing and breakfast the morning of a road trip. Been...

I just put the Tesmanian version 2 floor mats in our Model Y. I noticed some folks had mentioned the Tesmanian version 1 mats were too stiff and plastic for their likes. These version 2 mats are pliable, perfect fit, even include Velcro built in so mats stay put. Easy to clean, comfortable, look...

Please do not be one of the idiots that goes up in the mountains without chains or socks, gets stuck, and plugs up traffic plus causes accidents due to your fear of putting on chains. I have seen multiple mountain accidents caused by drivers without chains/socks over the years where there is no...

Purchased Homelink kit off eBay for $180, showed up at my house two days later. Only needed 3 tools to install: a 10 mm socket wrench (for the 4 frunk liner bolts), a10 mm ratchet wrench (for the Homelink module bolt) and a medium size flat screwdriver. Following the YouTube videos and being...

Section 179 is now limited to $28,900 for the model x, unlike past years where the full purchase price could be immediately depreciated. So with the requirement that the first year be 100% documented business use (for the full deduction) and the following years at least 50% documented business...

Mine also failed when car was quite new. Replaced and no problem since.

Beautiful car. What a shame. Hope you and any passengers are OK. That has total written all over it.

My wife was not really sold on the MX at first but was wonderful about letting me buy myself a birthday present for a 'significant' birthday. After 5 years of starting every day with a full tank, never messing with oil changes, and having a car that is fast, gorgeous and reliable, there is no...

I completely understand your frustration. Bummer. It's called bad luck. Not the car's fault. You are the 'lucky' recipient of a statistical anomaly, an outlier case. That's the way any gaussian distribution works. Can you try taking different routes that are nowhere near construction?

What is awful about the Tesla pre-refresh cloth seats? What I have seen is they wear great and look great. Does that make me trailer trash?

Must be a terminology thing? I use my phone as the key on my 2018 X via the Tesla app (not 100% reliable), but apparently you are saying that is not a phone key?

2018 X: no card key available. Just phone key or fob. And since the phone key won't work every once in a blue moon, I now always carry fob. Card key would be more convenient to carry for those rare cases where phone key doesn't work, but not an option for me. Since the fob is so easy to...

My phone key worked great. Until it didn't. And it decided not to work when I had no cell phone coverage and was 60 miles from home, where I left the fob. That left me no options: not a great feeling. I rebooted the phone a few times, and after waiting around 20 minutes, it finally decided...

Dodge is really proud of the fact that their EVs will make engine sounds. They claim their customers demand that feature. Sounds from your question that Dodge has this figured out. Maybe you should wait for a Dodge EV?

Your other question about range degradation over 5 years: my 2018 MX was rated 287 miles new, now 5 years later has only 'lost' 9 miles of range. I do about 45% supercharging (meaning 45% of my driving is highway road trips), around 60K miles on the car. I charge 100% before trips, 80% the...

You are overthinking it. Knowing you have a supercharger @ 160 miles, then all you do is leave and see what happens. If you get to the 160 and don't have enough range to go the extra 70 miles, stop and charge for a few minutes - or longer, if you are checking emails, etc. Driving 80 MPH...

Mine did that. Would go for a few minutes, then stop. Sometimes a couple minutes, sometimes up to 1/2 hour. Ended up being a loose wire right at the electrical panel. Tesla wall/mobile chargers will stop if they see an imbalance. Took me weeks to figure it out. I tried a new 6-50 receptacle...

The ultrasonic sensors are only used for the doors, not FSD. FSD has never used the ultrasonic sensors since they are a close range sensor used to detect side obstructions. The ultrasonic sensors have a short detection distance, only about as far as the doors open. FSD uses the cameras so...

Where do you get data to support such a claim? Makes no sense. Let's say you lose 10% of your existing customers due to lowering price, but your existing customers keep their cars for six years (there is actual data for that statistic). So essentially the existing customers were not your sales...

My diesel guzzling pickup has 120VAC outlets in the cab and the bed. I thought "pretty cool" when I bought the pickup. Never used them. Over it.
