    Is it time to dump and run?

    Installer recommends an electric garage heater. Is it necessary? I’m in the Chicago land area

    I've never been a fan of burning fuel indoors. But I did buy a cheap 6kW heater on Amazon and wired it up to a 6-50 plug which I use on the rare occasion I need to heat up the garage.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yeah I used mine like a couple times mostly out of curiosity. Just not often that I’m stopped somewhere long enough that I’d want to load up steam to pass the time. Also never made sense to me to keep it as an S/X exclusive feature. Should have been at least optional on the 3/Y.

    How does it work when Leased car is totaled?

    With how these things depreciate I have my doubts

    They’re nice to have if you ever spend time in the garage, but if you don’t I don’t really see the point

    240V outlet bad ground?

    If multiple chargers are reporting a bad ground, there’s probably a bad ground. If it’s fine at the outlet end, then I would wonder about the service panel end.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I would guess they're removing the dgpu. I bet AMD is phasing out that particular GPU (Navi 23 iirc), and Tesla doesn't feel like updating to a newer equivalent. Pretty expensive piece of hardware for something very few people actually use.

    The anti-Tesla EV lovers

    Yeah I just chrcked mine. A bit higher than what I remember, but probably 30-40 if I exclude the EVs. And can cut that down in a power outage scenario where I’m trying to keep usage down.

    Retrofit to matrix (global) headlights?

    USB to Ethernet is fine. Can do it with either mac or windows, but if you’re not technically inclined windows is easier. Toolbox subscription is generally cheaper than paying someone.

    I don't know who you are or why you're quoting a post that was in response to someone else (who did end up disclosing his financial conflict of interest)

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    We're talking like a 600lb difference. At those speeds, drag is a far bigger factor than that weight difference. So the horsepower requirements tend to be pretty similar.

    Funny how insecure cybertruck owners are. Have to create their own echo chamber to make themselves feel better

    So you don't own a single share? Somehow I don't believe you. This is "Tesla Motors Club". Not "Tesla Fanboys Club". I can and will criticize the company and its leadership when they do stupid things. Which is nearly everything they do these days.

    Snippiness 2.0

    It's relevant because people are claiming it can't be ugly because the thing is selling well. In reality it's selling horribly and the documentation released with regards to the recall proves that. The recall also proves it's terribly engineered. So it's ugly *and* it's a shitty truck.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    60-130 correlates pretty closely with horsepower. I'd be surprised if the M3P matches the MSLR with a ~200hp deficit.

    NEMA 6-50 outlets: Leviton versus Bryant

    Before we went hardwired we used a Hubbel 6-50 for years without issues. This was with a gen 1 UMC (40A) and then briefly a wall connector with a 6-50 pigtail set to 40A.

    ELECTRICIANS! Please help!

    You can use a bigger subpanel as long as the breaker feeding the subpanel is appropriately sized. I'm using a 100A subpanel with a 65A feed servicing two tesla chargers.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The only slight evidence I’ve found so far are a couple rgb lighting test routines in toolbox. I don’t recall them being present a couple weeks ago, but could be wrong. And I don’t think it’s just a carryover from the model 3 / cyber truck since it referenced the center console lights that those...

    ELECTRICIANS! Please help!

    While it won’t make a big difference, the current limit in power sharing mode lets you set it down to the amp. So if you set each wall connector to 48A and then the network limit to 44A, you’ll get a 44A charge limit which is technically allowed with 6/3 romex.

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    Credit rating doesn’t really make a difference once you’re past their threshold. Technically illegal to deny purely on advanced age (but legal to do for young age), but they are allowed to deny based on correlated factors. If I had to guess it would be income and employment status triggering the...

    Notice how many of those vins above 4000 are for vehicles delivered in January. Despite having delivered less than 4k by April. They skipped some numbers.

    That doesn’t mean they’re doing that consistently. They chose their words carefully.

    S/X Palladium Motorized Screen Tilt Kit

    Apparently body 7 is used for the trailer module? Also curiously toolbox has a couple routines for testing the RGB interior lights that I could have sworn weren't there before. Initially I thought it's probably just the same routine for the model 3 and cybertruck, but it did reference the...

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    Tesla tends to use multiple banks so you’d have to read the offer’s terms. To my knowledge it’s pretty rare these days to have prepayment penalties.

    The anti-Tesla EV lovers

    People are exercising their right to free expression by choosing not to buy from a bigot. If you respect Elon’s personal free speech, you should respect others’ right to express themselves how they see fit. Tesla’s mass layoffs and mass executive exodus is not comparable to “usual business” at...

    Model S LR vs Plaid for Second Model S

    I think it’s got to be at least 155 since they don’t make the paid hardware disclaimer about the claimed trap speed (which is 155). But this is Tesla so who knows if they made an oversight.

    .99% APR Financing Promotion (May 10 - May 31 2024)

    I think he recognizes that the Model Y demand has tanked and Tesla is pretty desperate to push them. Best deals will probably be closer to the Juniper launch. Or even inventory models after it's launched.

    In April Tesla recalled under 4k cybertrucks, which was the entirety of the fleet. Specifically 3878 cybertrucks produced until April 4th. They did not sell 6000 in a few weeks since then.

    S/X Palladium Motorized Screen Tilt Kit

    USS plugs into VCRIGHT, so I don't think it's that. Maybe HW3 vs HW4. Though since the new one seems to be backwards compatible, I don't know why they wouldn't bother d/cing the old one. Only other thought I have is one of the part numbers supporting RGB lights. The little bit of documentation...

    S/X Palladium Motorized Screen Tilt Kit

    SC has always been able to make config changes. They just generally didn’t do it unless a documented Tesla procedure instructed them to. They’re also limited in the changes they can make. They should be capable of doing the service shell method as well, but that’s not documented either. In the...

    Asides for 4 wheel drifting, yes. It’s more of a I want much faster acceleration above the speed limit. I ended up going Plaid (which I am very happy with), but if the new M3P launched earlier I probably would have been very tempted to go in that direction

    S/X Palladium Motorized Screen Tilt Kit

    Hmm interesting. Could be that configs that are officially changeable by either us or service are backed up to the cloud. The screen tilt option is not officially editable even by the service centers Or it’s safety relevant items that are transferred like you mentioned. You also changed the...

    Model S Plaid Track Package Waiting Room

    No, because the car always had 19" wheels as an option. They probably just milled out whatever is needed to clear the trackpack rotors and calipers.
