Don’t they also mfg the SuC and related equipment in upstate NY?

I switch from staggered OEM 22” to square 265/45/20 for winter and don’t notice any change on the speedo but haven’t done a measured mile. I went with that tire size due to many posts on here recommending it., and it has worked fine for 3 winters.

I will be astonished if reverse psychology and the firing of a division gets your desired supercharger built.

Do you mean the flip-up holder with the lightening plug for older iphones doesn’t work with the newer iphone? I think you can just replace that lightening cable with one that fits your phone, USB-C? They used that wired flip up until the wireless one came out in 2020, with the wired one didn’t...

I’m not trying to be tricky with language, IMO they were “forced” to pay for their dieselgate actions, they “decided ( or chose)” to create EA to comply with the verdict. Perhaps they could have decided/chose to simply pay the money to the EPA or another agency. Creating EA at least had the...

They were fined for dieselgate. Afaik they made the decision to create EA for their penalty, if you consider that “forced.”

Mine has never felt twitchy. I have only driven a couple Model 3 and they have sportier feel than any mode on thr X. Not sure I’d say floaty but I know what you mean. The small increments and straight line behaviour don’t sound right, mine has excellent tracking. Maybe your tires could be a...

Definitely, I’m in the sticks with a woodstove. I could get through any of our outages in comfort with 75kWh.

I’m in one of those areas with trees and wind- I lose power 0-4 times a year for 0.5-3 days at a time. Last one was 2 weeks ago for about 30 hours. I have to use a genset while looking at my MX sitting there doing nothing; I won’t buy another vehicle without at least V2L, preferably also V2H...

I consider Reuters to be trustworthy, but ‘sounding like you know who are the sources’ is different than only using sources on record.

I was given a tour of Bloomberg in NYC about 2010 and none of the offices had doors, they said for transparency, and that unnamed sources were never allowed.

Since I installed 12.3.6 a couple hundred miles ago I’ve felt it is almost constantly hugging the right/fog line and occasionally driving on the rumble strip/shoulder. It will hug the yellow/center but much less often. Equally annoying is how the TACC is now behaving- falling off of the max set...

That would be ~25 new or expanded SC per week to date, is there really that much construction underway?

The City of Seattle has/had a program to install those on neighborhood power poles when requested, I thought they looked like a great plan but I have yet to see one when driving in the city.

What EV models can charge inductively?

I hope Tesla employees are seriously rethinking their nonunion status. I admit bias towards organized labor. I have heard of workers saying the stock options were a deciding factor, this was a while back. No doubt many of them were just fired/laid off/made redundant.

Don’t forget #AllBlacks!

Letting a division “loaf along for years” without fixing the problems is poor management. Firing that division because they were poorly managed is more poor management.

That sounds ideal, verify with your tire shop. I have 265/45/20 on 8.5” wheels for winter and there are no issues. If I had 9.5” wheels I would say the same thing.

I didn’t see where they named the wavelength other than High Frequency but that band runs 3-30MHz, there may be radio interference issues to solve along the way.

But mobile connector only allows 32A (<8kW)

“set climate and preheat battery”- that’s exactly what it does. The battery is heated enough to accept regen, not enough to accept the full output of a dcfc.

I’ve been given 2 different lengths at the SC, the longer ones could be trimmed down if they stick out.

I have the previous WR G3 SUV and they are great winter tires, these G4 are probably better still.

1- The FSD should update OTA unless you prevent it like the current owner is doing. 2- You won’t get free supercharging once it’s put on your app/ removed from current owners app 3-Your money, your choice. Like choosing color or seating, all subjective. I’d get the X.

Good question. Some time when you’re driving to a SC try putting it in park for a minute and see if it stops preconditioning.

The cameras are there, the screen is there and shows 3 cameras when reversing. Seems like an OTA update could make that happen if they are serious about improving the vehicles over time that way.

Agree it looks like coolant. Get it fixed asap, low coolant in a Tesla can require a tow truck, when warns it you it means you’re about to get stranded.

I don’t think battery replacement is a thing most owners ever have to worry about but there are extended warranties on the market if you feel the need. I’m looking at X Care because there are so many systems in the MX, if also covers the battery but if it was a la carte I might skip the battery...

I’ve had my own problems with China shipments. I use this one from amazon for my dogs and I’m happy with it, goes through the wash nicely in 2 pieces. It should be fine with kids too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09J7ZD8RT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Check around the area and you’ll find Tesla’s wait time is in line with the top body shops. Your wish for ‘1 day or 2 max’ is not realistic, and a ‘quick’ repair still has to wait in line with all the others. At least at Tesla service they don’t have other brands in line ahead of you. I’m...

I wonder if PSE ever considered that people would purposely charge at peak demand hours and rates in the hope of getting a little rebate.

Do you know of a link to describe how to get s3xy button to do this (on a prerefresh X)? I’m mechanical enough but not tech savvy.

1. Locate convenient dcfc 2. Navigate to it 3. Preheat The car protects the battery with the same limits as navigating to a supercharger. Not asking for much here. A few years ago we had to manually initiate preconditioning on the screen, basically bring that back as an option, and of course...

They could easily allow the driver to initiate the battery heating, and the car allows it within parameters to protect the battery.

My 21 MXP built 12/2020 has the H pack, sticker range was 341 miles. This is prerefresh, the refresh came out in the fall 2021.

Maybe Tesla is discouraging DCFC competition by doing this aggressively. It’s not like competitors are popping up everywhere.

How is that done?

I don’t think Tesla puts that much thought into what owners experience when charging.

I doubt manufacturers will standardize charge port location. They never did with ICE gas caps. Gas stations have long enough hoses, charging stations just need long enough cables.

They’re your cars, drive whatever you want

I don’t know about CCS1 adapter being a smart purchase for most people. I was an early buyer through Delivered Korea and other than one test I’ve never needed it. For some people in some areas, sure, the rates may even be lower.

The Tesla gen 3 Wall Connector has selectable access but that feature wouldn’t be useful to an airbnb, its more for say an office where only the same group of cars can use it. In your case the cheap and easy way is to open the circuit between occupants. Have the cleaners shut off the breaker...

There’s also the issue of most homes not having the available capacity, it would take more than half of a typical 200A service.

When you factor in the cost of the dcfc equipment I bet the need drops right off.

You might prefer touch-up paint on a tiny chip versus not having your new MX for 2 weeks.

Does level 3 mean any DC charging or just DC fast charging? I would look at a <10kW DC that used DC (solar) input. My thinking is that there would only be a loss at the dc-dc converter as opposed to the rectifier and dc-dc conv. the car uses to charge on AC. Not saying I’d buy one but I’d...

How do you program a MX fob to a different MX? Will a SC do that?

Another easy to tell difference is the trim, legacy models had chrome and afaik all the refresh MX have black.
