    Tips on renting a Tesla in Germany?

    There are other companies but they cost a lot more. Sixt is the bargain but I don't think they have a MUC location. I rented from the Munich Giesing location. Germany is not that big IMHO. I live in California and I've driven to Montana and back, back in 2019 where chargers can be over 100...

    Tips on renting a Tesla in Germany?

    So I'm back from Germany (northern Bavaria ) and Austria for over a month. Rental from Sixt was very straight forward. I haven't yet got an extra bill for charging on the Tesla network from Sixt. They gave me a Shell RFID card which I had to setup with my credit card as well. There was no...

    Supercharger - Ontario, CA - Ontario Mills Pkwy (permit found, 20 stalls, Ontario Gateway Center)

    That's not a bad location.. the plaza is rarely full of cars except by the Chick Fila In n out. In N Out, Chick FIL A, Big Lots, and a Grocery Outlet and it's across from destination chargers at the two hotels.. I recall a Hampton and Ayres(?). My only complaint is that the exit from 60 West...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    Yes.. the 235/40-19 ContiPro RX get very noisy at the end of life! Others have mentioned reduced grip with Ion EVo. Even medium levels of acceleration can get the tires to shimmy out when cornering. This causes the car to feel like it's understeer. It's not confidence inspiring as I'm not...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    so just an update, on my Hankook Ion 240/40-R19. Definitely a significant improvement over my former Bridgestone not so Quiettracks. Consumption is noticeably down, noise down, a lot the higher frequency harshness is gone, music is clearer when I drive. bumps are soaked up quite a bit more...

    Hankook new iON tire, an "EV" tire (not the same as Kinergy GT)

    What? Had no idea you could do that! Let us know how it goes. I would have much rather did that and then bought America's tire road Hazzard and such.

    Looked at the permitting, there's still 2 outstanding conditions not yet met. Several actions that were due on 4/27. I think they are missing the disabled parking /striping / access info. Plan consolidation is being done... waiting for Cucamonga Water District review, Landlord review, SB...

    Tips on renting a Tesla in Germany?

    I made reservation for a weekly rental and called Sixt in Germany to ask about how charging worked. Calling Sixt and requesting English, I get routed to a call center in the Philippines. Salamat. My very specific question is "how do I pay for charging on the Tesla network? Or is charging...

    Tips on renting a Tesla in Germany?

    i'm looking at renting a Tesla at Sixt within the city proper.. . I was curious if charging is included. If charging is included this is definitely cheaper than renting an ICE because the price difference is less than 12-15 Euro a day compared to the entry level sedans like an Audi A3. All...

    Supercharger - Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Haven City Market (permit found, 16 V3 stalls)

    Thought I would give an update. Permit is still NOT issued. The permit number has changed for reasons I don't understand from PMT-00872 to PMT2023-01170, but it appears there is progress. Plan was just submitted on 3/15 and is expected back 4/3 from both Building review and Engineering...

    Trunk light briefly turns on and then goes out

    My trunk lights stopped turning on about 2 months ago on my 2019 Long Range RWD. Eventually I got around to trouble shooting it, replacing my aftermarket lights with the original lights (I could have a used a meter too, but I was lazy). I then found this thread. I setup an appt for Rear...

    This a game changer. People can bypass the whole Buttonwillow, Stockdale Hwy, Taft/Maricopa, Corpus Rd, Tejon Ranch area entirely and charge after going up the hill! For ppl deep in the I.E. like myself, I always have to charge to 80 percent or higher SoC below the hill to make it back to...

    Holbrook AZ to Phoenix via Payson or via Pinetop / Globe?

    Ahh.. I forgot one thing. The in car nav predicted Arrival 52% SoC to Tempe SuC. Why I didn't input Chandler and take a pic, I don't can't remember, but distance to Tempe and Chandler is about the same. vs. 41% of ABRP. My experience is that the car usually overestimates the downhill regen...

    Holbrook AZ to Phoenix via Payson or via Pinetop / Globe?

    I did the trip last week. Thank you everyone for your inputs. Charged up at Holbrook, drove the 60 miles or so into Pinetop and stayed 2 nights at the Quality Inn. The quality inn is a not so great motel but is in the Tesla destination charger map. They charge $20 a night to charge for...

    Traveling I-40 across AZ an NM, tips?

    yes definitely... I remember in the 2019 every stop at a supercharger in ID, MT, norther UT was a conversation with another fellow Tesla owner since there were so few on the road then. Also being stopped numerous times by random people asking me about the car.

    thanks for all your suggestions. With that, I have the confidence to make it through Globe, Superior .. the middle part of the state. we are staying in Pinetop at the Quality Inn with a J1772 and that should take care of it, before going into PHX. There's also a EVGo with Tesla adapter in...

    Replace 19" Tires or switch to 18" OEM package

    Looking at the pirellis, it seems the treadwear rating is 500 for the P7 vs 800 of the Quietracks. I'm thinking lighter and less stiff for the P7. What did you think about the difference in road noise and comfort? Handling?

    Replace 19" Tires or switch to 18" OEM package

    There's a been a lot of discussion of whether to order 18" vs 19"... but I think a lot are aimed at ride comfort or ordering. I've got a 2019 LR RWD with 59k miles with 19" sports. I'm running Bridgestone Quietracks which I hate. They are heavy, stiff, noisy and have caused me a 6% hit on...

    Smelly stinky socks / mold in Model 3 AC

    I watched your video and I like what you've done to diagnose the issues. My first culprit was also the filter touches the evap coil, but I too have observed it doesn't touch. My 2019 LR has gone through 6 filters and cleanings already. The first 1 or 2 cleanings would last a while and the car...

    Anyone have experience with Bridgestone Quiettrack tires

    Model 3 owner here. I have the 235/40-19s on my Model 3 Long Range. I've put about 16k miles on them. I absolute hate these tires. The efficiency is quite poor. I was averaging .259 kWh / mi over 40k miles on the original OEM Conti Pro RX tires. After installation, the efficiency has...

    Companies that install and operate charge points.

    I talked to the rep about the CPF50 and she said it would not work. they would no elaborate too much except that each charger would have to be tied to a particular vehicle / RFID. that's sounds pretty dumb to me, i.e... if I had 4X fleet vehicles, and I assigned Vehicle 1/RFI 1, to charger #1...

    Companies that install and operate charge points.

    wow... Thank you. I'm looking at it now. The equipment seems much cheaper too and it's a cleaner look (IMHO)... and it appears to be able to deliver 40 amps (50 amp circuit) which is way faster than the 30 amp max of the CT4000. I'm asking the rep to get back to me. I could much better sell...

    Companies that install and operate charge points.

    I just got off the phone with a Chargepoint rep as I am selecting equipment to replace and install at my workplace. The Chargepoint fees are high IMHO. Their CT4000 machines are bricks without a software subscription. Subscriptions are charged per port and can be paid annual of prepaid in 5...
