    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    He actually did drive it back to Florida with his older son. After he left Giga Austin, he got an a X livestream which I happened to catch. He mentioned that he was driving it back (or something about a long road trip ahead of them back home). He also mentioned during the stream that he "knew...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Hey, I do that stretch a few times a year and over Thanksgiving, I counted about 25-26 heading South (this was Wednesday before TDay in the morning). But I have also wondered the same thing. However, this time I on my way home noticed a few car carriers were carrying Jeeps. The car carriers...

    Powerwall 22.18 Firmware

    No update for me, but I guess I wasnt expecting one since she told me "20-25" days and I havent tried to contact her. I dont want to wear out my "connection", as weak as it is (when I tried to get solar for my parents thru Tesla, I quickly learned how easily it is to be ghosted). I still play...

    Powerwall 22.18 Firmware

    Do you know if it was firmware related (22.18.x)? or was it due to signing up for the virtual power plant program? Although the Tesla Energy person I spoke to said this issue would get escalated, the "20-25 day" time frame makes me think they're just hoping the next firmware update fixes this...

    Powerwall 22.18 Firmware

    I'm CURRENTLY on 22.18.5 and I recently signed up for VPP on SCE. (I say "currently", because I'm not sure what I was on prior to my interaction with Tesla Energy) I've noticed odd behavior since the day I was added to VPP (8/18/22). I've had TOU-D-PRIME set up in in the app ever since my...

    Tesla Virtual Power Plant - CA (Released for some SCE customers starting 08.15.2022)

    I was just added to the program yesterday. However I noticed my usage yesterday was a little odd. I had pulled a few kWh from the grid during Peak hours (I’m on PRIME). Today I made it a point to monitor my PW behavior after 4pm and here are some observations: 1. When my house was pulling...

    FSD beta battery drain

    I was just searching for this since I noticed the same thing since getting the FSD Beta.. I seem to be "losing" more range. I think this may be related to the uploading of FSD Beta video and data when the car is idle. I think my car uploaded at least 20GB of data last night and this morning I...

    Battery discharge with Sentry mode vs without?

    I had sentry on for about 4 hours last night (4 events) and lost somewhere around 20 miles. It was around low 60s last night and about 50F this morning. So whatever "normal" loss associated with cold temps overnight is included in that figure since I just noticed the less-than-expected range...

    Can someone with FSD help me out with a picture?

    For a car that has EAP (as opposed to "standard AP", which is included on new cars now), you're not going to be able to tell if it has FSD or not, since NoA and Summon are included with EAP as well. Best bet is to contact Tesla at their customer service number and explain the issue and ask if...

    Model 3 changes from Jan 2018 til now; buying new vs. pre-owned Jan 2018

    If I recall correctly, there was a cutoff date, sometime in mid December 2017, when they switched from a stiffer shock to softer shock. And yes, there were 2017 Model 3 owners who were able to get the shocks swapped for free. And just to add a few changes I can remember but havent seen...

    Lowered 1" with MPP Comfort Coilovers

    The Comfort coilover bodies are zinc plated though. Whether they are as corrosion resistant as the stainless bodies, no idea. But the zinc plating is there for corrosion resistance. I'd wager its a better combo than the stock painted strut and shock bodies though.

    Vendor Suma Blind Spot Side Mirrors

    I'm pretty sure the wiring you thought was for auto-dimming is for mirror heating and the "extra OEM wiring" you're referring to is for auto-dimming. So what to do with the "extra OEM wiring" is to not do anything. And then use the extra connector from Suma to connect the stock wiring to the new...

    You notice an out daytime "eyebrow" light in a fellow Model 3. Do you...

    The issue isnt an electrical one (at least not in my case and others I've read about). The DRL LED strip becomes physically "unseated" and shifts backwards (towards the cabin). When you look into the headlight, the DRL LED strip is still lit and seems fine from a close distance. But if you move...

    "Clinking" exterior sound?

    Tint the Front Glass Roof vs Tesla Roof Shade?

    I think the thing to think about with the glass roof is that when you feel heat, are you feeling the sun/solar energy passing through the glass? Or are you actually feeling heat radiating from the glass itself since the glass is physically hot from being radiated by the sun? If you believe you...

    Pregnant woman hit by MX (out of main)

    That shows you how un-newsworthy this lawsuit is.. and in our current climate, that's saying a lot! Filing a product liability lawsuit because your 2 year old jumped in the driver seat and made the car move forward is weak at best.
