    5000 miles round trip CA to TX - data and observations

    The biggest thing they provide is time. You eliminate 1 Supercharger stop by charging overnight at the hotel. Also, you can charge up completely vs. 80% since you don't care how long it takes (although I'm still paranoid, so only go to 97% lol). Most are free, but some do charge, but they're...

    5000 miles round trip CA to TX - data and observations

    @GmP, I didn't see you mention any destination charging at your hotels you stayed at. Did you just not mention it, or was it a choice?

    What is the consensus for the Foundation series Powershare hardware credit?

    @Tanquen, I wouldn't rush and buy something just to get 50 to 75 cents on the dollar reselling it. I was in the same boat as you (although I already had Solar and Powerwalls) and thought what would I do with that Tesla Credit? Needless to say, in less than a year, it's all gone...

    What is the consensus for the Foundation series Powershare hardware credit?

    @Tanquen, try going into your Tesla app, to the Shop section, and put anything in your cart (i.e. a shirt). When you go to pay for it, they will be options under Payment (might need to select a drop-down). You should see something like "Tesla Credits" and it will show your balance. BTW, no need...

    Tesla offering $99,000 trade-in on my 2024 FS AWD Cybertruck

    For anyone going from AWD to Beast, is there any way to transfer the FSD and make the Beast cheaper (now that they include FSD in the the Lux package)? FYI, I have a below VIN 2,000 FS AWD, and it's been great with no issues. Not sure I'd want to tempt fate just to get a year newer AWD one...

    Cyberwheel covers damaged my rims and tesla now asks $3588 to fix it

    @Indexck, did you ever try going through the car wash WITH the covers on? We were lucky enough to get one of the first Foundation Series back in February of 2024. We went a long time without them, so when they were finally available, we jumped. Maybe it's because we ran without them for so long...

    PSA - Removal and Re-install of Trailer Hitch Cover - Super simple, don't be afraid!

    Sadly no idea. But since it was a 5 minute task, I figured I'd do all I could to maximize the efficiency/range. BTW, the trip was pretty effortless. Did mostly 75-78 on the interstates, which was most of the way. Anything under 75 seemed like it matched the stated range (i.e. 318 miles), which...

    PSA - Removal and Re-install of Trailer Hitch Cover - Super simple, don't be afraid!

    Totally agree, should have mentioned that as well. Besides leaving the cover off, I usually leave my receiver with the ball on it in as well. I just had to do a 2,200+ mile road trip, so wanted as much efficiency as possible, hence the reason to put it back on (and subsequently remove it once...

    First Roadtrip- Wildly inefficient and expensive!

    Seems like a valid point until you try and use other high-speed chargers, which all cost more, sometime significantly more. In regards to the value of Free Supercharging, the 5,000 mile rule might make sense for most of the other, more efficient Tesla vehicles, but you are right about the...

    First Roadtrip- Wildly inefficient and expensive!

    Every hotel I stay at has destination charging. I ask up front what the costs are. Most are free, but when they do charge, it's usually not bad for a full charge. There are a TON of hotels with destination chargers..

    What's Your Rated 100% Range? (Vote in Poll)

    Just got back from a 2,200+ trip. Mostly Supercharged, but with a few overnight destination charges as well. Mostly to 90%, but a few 97% charges (both Supercharging and Destination). On all occasions of the the 97%, we left immediately once it hit 97% so it didn't stay there long. Once home...

    PSA - Removal and Re-install of Trailer Hitch Cover - Super simple, don't be afraid!

    Turning these takes very little effort, so just trying it both ways (without overly forcing it) quickly shows you which way it turns.

    PSA - Removal and Re-install of Trailer Hitch Cover - Super simple, don't be afraid!

    I set the height to High, put a small towel down, and just knelt. There's no wrong way to do it though, whatever is the easiest/most comfortable for you.

    PSA - Removal and Re-install of Trailer Hitch Cover - Super simple, don't be afraid!

    Just wanted to show how simple it is to remove and re-install the cover over the trailer hitch. There are 3 fasteners holding the cover on (see below): They are all pointed front to back. Just turn them a quarter turn with a large flat head screw driver (very low effort). Do this for...

    Help Me Decide-Service Center Work

    It might be something as simple as the connection to the seat isn't firmly set. The stories on here about bad Service visits are like most things on the internet: you only hear about them when there's an issue. It's a new truck under warranty: get it fixed!

    Starlink Now Has $5/Month “Standby” Mode

    I agree it was overly generous of them when you could just pause it, but the $5/mo seems reasonable. As far as I'm aware, there really is no other company that does this (let you just pause anytime and restart without any fee). Most require some kind of annual contract, and if not, there's...
