The $10k is with the 30% already taken into account.

Thank you for all the responses! @charlesj was 100% correct - Tesla was having problems fitting additional panels on the roof. After several back and forth communications with them (yes, communication with Tesla is as bad as everyone says it is), I was able get them to understand that I was in...

I'm currently working with Tesla to get solar installed on my house. I've received the first design and they dropped my desired 9.6kW system down to 4.8kW (which will only offset 48% of my usage). I requested a design change with more panels and was almost immediately told that they couldn't...

Tesla waives the fee if they determine it's a warrantee fix.

I may be remembering incorrectly, but didn't smart summon require a map update? I would have thought all cars in the fleet would have it by now, but maybe you only get it if you have smart summon unlocked?

If 2020 has taught me one thing, it’s “stupidity needs no reason.”

Absolutely, 100% accept a 1 million dollar check :D

Anything can be had for free if you steal it...

In the past, if I left my car plugged in overnight, when I went to get in the next morning I would need to wake it up by lightly pressing one of the door handles before I could press the button on the wall connector wand and remove it. However, in the past month or so, I have been able to press...

In case you didn’t know, this is not something you want to do. If you need the extra range that you get from charging to > 90%, try to time it so that you finish charging right before you leave. You never want the battery to sit at 100%.

You can’t ignore whether or not EMF is safe, that’s the entire point of the thread. That’s like saying “I’m worried that humans will melt if they get wet; ignoring whether or not that’s actually true, I certainly would never live in Seattle.”

Meaning you think supercharging is unsafe?

More like 100 years for cigarettes - the first link to cancer from smoking was established in the 1920s.

He obviously thinks it's a big enough deal to specifically call it out and write a large paragraph about it.

I mostly agree with you, but my one nitpick is with the above. If you're doing extra driving just to run the battery down and recalibrate the BMS, then yes, you are "wasting cycles." If you were going to drive anyway and you skip recharging for a while in order to run the battery down, then...
