Solar Powered Raspberry Pi | Rusty Nail Workshop

How did you get the sound deadening done? What went wrong that caused them to upgrade that?

The rule of thumb that I have experienced is twice as much battery usage in the winter as in the summer. It's cold here in Minnesota sometimes.

It definitely is an improvement, but it is not as much of a change as I expected.

Just got it too! It's about time. It's only a month late.

I think 6.0 is on the back burner. I still don't have it and I'm getting mad.

Does this require a trip to the service center?

I spun a security camera toward my car at work one day and turned it on to record. The number of people stopping to check it out was incredible. People would walk from the other end of the parking lot to see it.

And how do we find out when we will get it? This waiting is very frustrating.

Still nothing. 5.14 here.

Every other piece of technology let's the user check for an update, but not this car. *sigh*

Come on Tesla, this is taking forever! Rolling out software should not take this long. I'm still waiting!!!

Nothing here. Still waiting.

Some of us are still waiting on 6.

No, I have solar and had to stay on the fixed rate with Xcel because they would only offer me $0.02 per kWh at any time of the day. I really wish they would change this policy.

Excellent! I'll use them!

Congrats! I'll wave as I drive by this fall.

I was averaging 895 kw/mi yesterday in -8 F driving for a little bit. I remember those warm fall days when I could average under 200 kw/mi for brief periods!

Interesting, I did not consider reading the temp from within the car. I was looking at a garage thermometer instead. When I pull up the temp in the car from my phone, it shows -9 ˚C (or 15 ˚F) inside the garage, when the outdoor air temperature is -13 ˚F or -25 ˚C. If -10 ˚C is really the...

For those that thought plugging it in helped keep the batteries warm. I had my car plugged in all night last night and all day today, and other than the standard recharge, it consumed NO power from the outlet. It was -24 (F) this morning outside, and in my garage it was warmer, perhaps about...

Not unless you pre-warm your car. Leaving it plugged in doesn't automatically warm it.

In Minnesota, I've had my Model S in -14 (F) and below more times than I can count. I drove it around all day today at -6, and the car performed better than our ICE car. I see regen disabled around ~5-10 degrees outside, and it usually enables itself after driving for about 15 minutes. When I...

Can someone explain this to me - if I buy winter tires, do I need new rims too? Or do they mount them on our current rims? What about scratching them?

100 in the metro area, wow. Maybe they aren't as rare anymore. That didn't stop the five groups of people I counted at work the other day from standing in our parking lot, checking out my car. It was fun watching them!

I'll certainly use it. Nice job Holiday Inn!

I picked up an eGauge. It is a very nice product.

Has anyone figured out a way to monitor the power consumption of the charging outlet used for their car? I am aware of a number of energy monitors, but I would like to collect data specifically on how much power is consumed from that particular outlet, and at what time. I'm looking for an...

I'm proof that at least one more Tesla was sold because someone brought their car to the fair.

As I mentioned in another thread, I just ordered and confirmed my 85. Thanks for the winter information. I plan to convince my employer to add chargers soon, hopefully in time for my delivery. I love the iPhone app concept and cannot wait to preheat my car in the winter. So how many...

Does anyone know a way to determine how many cars like ours have been sold in each state? I've seen the production map, but maybe I missed an owner's map?

That's good. I now have to convince my employer to install some charging locations! By the way, I just confirmed the order this morning. I'm really looking forward to this.

Order submitted for a blue S85. Woo hoo!

Wow, just saw cwmenne's car - that was impressive. I'm going to submit the order now.

I already stopped by the Eco building yesterday and had a chance to check one out from the exterior. I spoke with Tesla today and the earliest I can get in for a test drive is next weekend (partly due to my schedule - I'm busy during the days). I was just hoping there was someone in the area...

I'm interesting in talking to an owner and/or having them take me for a quick drive. Anyone in the Minneapolis area that wants to stop by Lino Lakes this afternoon? I need the extra help of seeing one in person to convince my wife!
