    DMV ALTERNATIVE FUEL FEE

    WA they assume I'm driving like 15,000 miles a year and instantly hit me with the associated gas tax for roads. This is like $290 or so. Also like when I sold my Y due to forest fires last year the sale was delayed and the tags were expiring. I opted to renew thinking I'd get a refund --...

    Can you run Starlink mini on the 48v power feed?

    I had that similar thought with just using my ol' Delta 2 with the 48V/400W feed in the front to slow charge it, but the 12V output maybe maxes out at 10A. AC maybe a 10w burn per hour but 1800w/2400w peak AC.

    Damn BA Wiper wipes

    Great shots - yeah least my ride yesterday was event free. I used isopropyl alcohol and a lint free towel.

    Can you run Starlink mini on the 48v power feed?

    not in the back seat. But my understanding is each USB-C is rated at 65W and so far my roam dish sits around 22-40w. I've got about 3500mi now on this setup and only time I have issues is driving up a hill while facing north the angle gets a little too hard for the dish to negotiate...

    Anyone have pictures of their post repair Cantrails?

    I did what I could for mine, but tech out tomorrow and with both of us I think I can close the gap. My adjustment - need more hands or a tail. Comments on adjustment. (front) - 8mm bolt - open frunk to help you see it. I just used a wrench and a bit of patience. Weather stripping pealed...

    Can you run Starlink mini on the 48v power feed?

    I run this off my USB-C in the back seat mounted to the roof glass all day long. Zero issues. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMLK71LG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 I disable snow melt to be safe for winter too hah.

    Damn BA Wiper wipes

    I was doing the same thing Most the time it stayed off, but finally broke down after getting UI alerts for glare. You can take a LED light and shine it in the front cam housing to see how cloudy it is. But a good cleaning fixed it. Just sucks to get to even if you don’t have an after...

    Damn BA Wiper wipes

    This is the bit of plastic with the GPS unit mounted to it. 2 Tabs on the side and then this funny hinge thing in the back. Its whats surrounding the cameras the front and has a matte texture to cut glare. I had to remove this to clean the glass the cameras look out. Off-gassing (fog/haze) from...

    Damn BA Wiper wipes

    I got my new Glare Shield in and went super slow putting it in and had success. Glass is clear, no dry wipe, or glare alerts so far.

    Cantrail Metal Flying Off

    There is a 8mm nut on that stud in the front so that must of come loose. I actually got in to mine a little after the recall as I was unhappy with how much of a gap there was. They should have loctite or thread lock on that or they didn't put it on tight enough. There are two plastic tabs up...

    Damn BA Wiper wipes

    I"ve had some off-gassing issues too. It's mostly garaged and in WA so sun is not super extreme minus Summer. I just spent some time out in the sun due a near by wildfire that forced evacuation so I was in full sun for 4-5 days. The dry wipes and constant UI alerts about front facing camera...

    Cantrail Recall Done

    I think it’s a two man job on mine to pull it down flush. I got it like 50% better but takes some 💪 and I need a tail to tighten the stud.

    Home solar and powershare

    My understanding was a powerwall has the solar inverter. I don’t think the gateway does this directly. It’s “solar ready” per my electrician, but has similar thoughts and feel like it would need a DC to AC inverter. That’s as much as I know

    Tesla Changing the Cantrail Method AGAIN?

    They need to scrap how they did these things and try again. Looks like trash. Weld a stud to the panel - get a big ol' impression on the metal. Can't seem to create these things without a 1-2mm gap. Waves up and down all the metal. This panel isn't going to war lol.

    Cantrail Recall Done

    I got little dimples now, and new gaps. If you're happy with yours, I'd leave it be. I originally had a gap in the back, now I have one in the front. I dunno, seems over engineered at this point. Got waves of bends all down mine new ones too. Two thumbs down right now.

    Cantrail alignment is abysmal

    Thats how my passenger side looked when I got the rig. I told them when swapping to the new contrail if we could do something about that, instead I have a gap in the front now and these dimples where the stud is welded I guess. I'm not super happy about it but letting the mobile tech check I...

    Anyone else get these stud outlines in the stainless on the new ones?

    Cybertruck a flop?!?!

    The dichotomy of what this truck is causing some meltdowns after a year and a half. I wouldn't waste a braincell on the laggards.
