I've had the exact same issue, model X, both front seats.

The rain held off until early afternoon. Nice videos.

Welcome to Estes. I hope you get some sun, but we're glad for the water. Maybe the fires won't repeat.

Be warned, Estes has been crowded. A lot of visitors to the park before the reservations system starts

the sweetwater rattlesnake roundup was last week, so you missed that......

Jan 6 order. No info from Tesla about anything.

Hockey team was on dorm floor above me - practiced shots in hall. CC was nice, across the street it was rough. Walked from CC to top of Pikes. That was a long day.

#6 in conduit and #4 in anything may both be to code, but with a long run, almost 2:1 in loss

Wait for warmer weather?

OK, a little physics. Let's see what drives the code Copper #6 has a resistance of .8 mohm / ft at 20C (that's round trip, both the black and red). Loss is i^2 r, for 48A, 1.8 W / ft For #4, it's 1.12 W / ft The code writers said that it's safe to have 1.8 W when the wire is high-temp in a pipe...

It has to do with the required high voltage to run the traction. You can't trivially change 400V DC to 12V DC. And you don't want to use 400V for the seat motors.

I spent a semester in CS in 1970. Colorado College. They were about to start the block system. Looked a lot different then.

I wondered why there were all those turbines there. Maybe we should have EVs???????

Colorado springs to Centennial is only about 50 miles. Monument pass is maybe 1/2 way? I've driven that many times in the winter, sometimes Palmer divide is bad, but still pretty close

Monument??????
