Good to hear first hand experience with it. Thanks.

Thanks for that link. I think I'll do that.

Sorry, I don't get email updates showing that my threads have been replied to so I don't always check in here regularly. I did jack it up and look at the whole length before I took that video. There is no damage to the battery. Good thought though, thanks.

That’s great info. Thanks. And I agree, anytime damage occurs, at the very least one can say one should have been more careful to be more appropriate for the conditions involved. I could have been more careful with the knowledge that the road has been recently graded and that it could have...

One of the following videos is going to depict a totally foreign driving environment for probably everyone who reads this thread. Many of you will say I should be driving a Jeep or an Expedition or a pickup or whatever that is more designed for these roads. I'm getting off-track of the point of...

Kinda hard to do that before you order the car. 2” higher ground clearance than my minivan is one of the primary reasons we went with a Model Y. Finding out out advertised ground clearance is inaccurate after the fact is something I’d like to avoid in future vehicle purchases. Just wanting to...

Before I bought our late 2023 MYLR 7 seater with the base Gemeni wheels, I did some research on ground clearance. Owners manual says 6.8” as shown in these screenshots: After trying to get my 5 ton floor jack under there I’m quite convinced that is not accurate at least in front of the...

I don’t know if you have ever used a floor jack or any jack to lift something that is near the max capacity of what the jack will do but it gets a bit sketchy. Like the jack will do it but it’ll be straining to do it to the point where you feel uncomfortable with the situation. In my experience...

The nearest discount tire to where I live is 192 miles. I live in a rural area. We do have a good high volume tire shop 30 minutes from my location but they don’t do free tire rotations. I only know of one other Tesla within 100 miles of me. There are likely others but even if there are and...

I’m all for that idea. That is an awesome thread. Thanks!

Does anyone do anything different than Rennstand? I wonder about just buying four hydraulic jacks and then making a mechanical block for the hydraulic jacks so that it can't fall down even if there is a hydraulic failure. Something like one of these: https://www.proeagle.com/products/jack-lock...

I have a pedestal mount on order but I’m unsure if I’m going to use it. It doesn’t really provide a location to mount a 14-50 outlet so I feel I’ll have to have something ugly there to mount the 14-50 regardless. My main breaker is a 200 amp breaker box. Maybe you’re right that running...

Since the window isn’t working I can see why you would say the low voltage battery has failed. On the other hand, the screen would also be powered by the low voltage battery. Maybe the battery had enough juice to power the display but not enough juice to power the window?

That sounds miserable. I'm not sure I understand everything. Savannah is southeast of Atlanta but Duluth is northeast so I don't really understand why you went to Duluth. Maybe you just found a hotel there that was near a SuperCharger? It also seems like Duluth to Savannah is more like 270...

Is there a good place where people discuss how they are mounting and installing their EVSE? I know to have an electrician do it but different electricians have different strategies to accomplish the same basic task. For example, a lot of electricians might just use a $15 14-50 when most of us...
