Another tactic I use in certain situations - where I am driving with a really cold battery- is to trick the care into thinking that I am navigating to a tesla charging site when I am going down steep hills.... that way, energy gets used to heat the motors that then heat the battery- so I am...

Thanks for posting the follow up!

Silicone spray, onto a paper towel and then wiped on all seals a time or two each winter. Enough so that the inside of the windows get silicone on them. Put de-icing spray in the frunk- the frunk is the last thing to freeze shut. Obviously charging and 'defrosting' before you leave will help...

I have NOICE for a plate... Crossing the border- the immigration officer thought it was a political statement about "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's" , I explained that it means NICE!, means there's no gas engine, and being a skier - I'd rather ski on snow. Recently, on a trip to...

I love the fake intercooler vents! Makes it look like an ICE car! You could add some cool chrome tailpipes too! :p Honestly I can't imagine it is lighter than the beercan thickness hood that is on the car already and it must increase air resistance some insignificant degree. But...

If you are truly drafting behind a semi- there will be no room for objects to get kicked up. Someday all of our vehicles will be able to train-up on autopilot and just like a peloton of cyclists- get huge aerodynamic benefits.

Hmm.... Wait and see if it is still happening when Pride Month is over?

Vermont- going to ski areas all the time, always when it is snowing the most- it does really well in the snow [vredenstein snow tires] I would use Chill mode in slippery conditions, but really never needed the slipstart/offroad modes. I do better than the other MYPs though because I went for...

How would you all feel about a track mode.... BUT you could only engage it when you were actually at a real track. GPS Locked. Nissan had done this in the past with their highest performing cars. This would allow track mode, but keep the "SUV crashes into parked cars at 170 mph" stories out...

What confuses me, is when I get these warnings... the picture from the camera sometimes looks ok....

Agree, get it often, esp in winters w salty roads. But, it makes me feel less confident about FSD.

Wouldn't it basically just be a new wiperblade w hose? It can be all that expensive to get.

one little capacitor, microscopic on a chip can crap out, cause a critical sensor to fault and the whole thing crashes....

I believe there was some sort of sensor failure.... something about an error in the high voltage system. You have to 'get out of the car and walk around it once' to fix it... meaning you have to shut the car down with door shut long enough for the car to truly turn off, that reset the error-...

I don't know about you folks, but I have to deal with this thing called winter.... I have found that ice in the dimple on the charge plug that accepts the latch or ice at the bottom of the charge port will cause things to not fit quite right. USUALLY i'll get the flashing amber warning...
