Hardware 4 was included in cars in early 2024 so it is highly likely that any demo S being sold now would include HW 4.

One other thing to keep in mind. Do you travel with your mobile charger? If so, there is a small convenience factor and wear and tear factor of plugging and unplugging the charger and putting it away each time. For 9 years I did this but 2 years ago I got a HPWC and have found using it...

Thanks

Now that Rob Mauer from Tesla Daily has retired. Where are you getting good Tesla analysis?

I don't agree. They need to get to large scale production of the new components. Using this architecture in the Y will reduce cost for Y and reduce component costs. Now that they have completed the engineering they will be able to implement the architecture fairly easily when they redesign...

The benefit to using 48v architecture in the redesigned Y would be to get to economies of scale on all the electrical components currently being produced for the cybertruck. By adding the new architecture to the Y would immediately lower costs for both the Y and the Cybertruck. Tesla...

Good afternoon. I am picking up my Model SLR with 21" Arachnid wheels on Monday. I have had issues with rim rash on past cars and I am looking for recommendations on which wheel protection product I should buy. Thanks for your help!

I can't cite any articles but there have been many. I can speak from 10 years of experience with Tesla vehicles and will tell you that limiting your daily charge to 50% is unnecessary. The research has shown that you should not, on a regular basis be charging to 100% or regularly discharge...

What are you trying to accomplish? Yes, the vehicle should be plugged in every night, this is best practice. If you are concerned about battery degradation, don't be. I have owned 4 Teslas over the last 10 years and have found that the best way to have the range you want when you want it and...

This is not the end of the world and your battery will be fine. When this has happened to me in the past I would run the climate for 30 minutes to an hour to use up some of the excess energy. Most of the damage to the battery is done when it sits for too long at a high state of charge.

I've been a Tesla owner for 8 years now, on my 4th vehicle. On a daily basis I would not recommend charging 10 100%. I think your best bet is to 1- Charge to 90% and make sure you pre-condition each morning, 2- Plan to stop at one of the SC on the way home for 5 minutes or so to top off your...

It's amazing the amount of ignorance there is out there. Next, you will be told that special water is needed to wash the car because regular water will cause a short!

Yes that will work. An alternative is to set the nav to a point on your preferred route and then as you approach the waypoint change your destination to your actual destination.

You can navigate directly to the Supercharger, if you choose to bypass preconditioning simply tap the screen where it indicates the car is preconditioning, it will stop. Preconditioning is not intended to save energy but to save time. Preconditioning before charging at home is not necessary...
