    Wireless charger affect range?

    Nope, recently ran some numbers on this since I saw tesla was including battery charging in the range estimates now. the recent generation of iPhones have a 10-13 watt-hour battery iPhone battery capacities compared: all iPhones battery life in mAh and Wh You probably wouldn’t, but assuming...

    Preventing and curing wiper chattering

    Anyone know why this occurs/ this is an issue on this particular car ? I’ve never had this issue with other makes of vehicles, but searching the forums I see threads on all tesla models related to skipping / jumping / chattering wipers. If it helps anyone there’s a 3 year old model S thread...

    MASTER THREAD: Powering house or other things with Model 3

    some of the new solar inverters (Enphase IQ8 as an example) offer 'sunlight backup' where they can form a microgrid to power a critical loads panel if the grid goes down. but it's the same challenges everyone in this thread laid out: the smart controllers and switches etc come to 3K ish of...

    MASTER THREAD: Powering house or other things with Model 3

    Is there anything stopping us from plugging a small 12v inverter into the cigarette lighter or directly to the 12v battery to power some small <1800 watt load? Would the HV battery keep the 12v charged automatically?

    Vehicle to Grid

    I know the high voltage is risky and not recommended, but can you simply plug a <1800 watt inverter into the cigarette lighter 12v, or would you need to wire it to the 12v battery directly? Will the HV battery keep the 12v charged automatically, or will the 12v be drained by doing this, and I...

    Phantom Braking - Fixed.

    What sw version are you on now that fixed it? I personally haven’t experienced much phantom braking so can’t weigh in, but I’m sure others will

    Clearview Free Wknd Charge EV plan

    please do report back. I'm curious if with this plan you'd still owe your utility for the delivery charges for your nighttime EV charging, but ClearView just credits you back for EV supply, not delivery?

    Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box

    oh good tips. I ended up going to my local rackattack a month ago and getting their last Grand Tour at full price, like others here recommended. REI seemed to have em in stock too near me, FWIW. Seems like it's the same specs as a skybox 16, just shiny instead of matte plastic.

    Clearview Free Wknd Charge EV plan

    FWIW i called Clearview recently, they are still offering free chargepoint usage 7 days a week 11pm - 6AM. The catch is the 12 month supply rate for non EV usage (AKA the rest of your house) is currently 26c/kWh. That's in addition to the 10-11c/kWh delivery charge and $7/month customer fee...

    Yakima SkyBox 16 Roof Cargo Box

    Anyone recommend any other cargo boxes or is the consensus that the skybox 16 is the go-to?

    Maximizing battery life/ minimizing degradation

    Hey folks, so now that I took delivery of my LR MY, I’m curious on how I should be managing my battery for maximum lifespan. I’m sure this has been discussed as nauseum already and I know supercharging isn’t great on battery life, keep it below 80% and above 40% daily, etc etc and I’ve seen some...

    Dog Barrier for Model Y?

    Also curious on the sizing recommendation. Tried just keeping the middle headrest up but my 48 lb pup Houdini’d himself into the middle seat today somehow

    Northeast shop recommendations for paint protection

    I’ve heard good things about craft detailing, and gotta a quote from them of about 6k for a full car ppf. By clear bra do you mean a full car clear paint protection film or just front end?
