    First registration renewal fee notice I was shocked [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    CA adds an EV fee beginning in the 2nd year that is meant to help with road funding (and because we're not buying gas where gas cars pay their road tax money). CA does charge for the value of the vehicle but there is an additional charge for commercial vehicles. A camper added to the truck can...

    Foundation Series Light Bar Waiting Room

    Just had my lightbar installed today (CB purchased 5/31/24). The service center didn't provide instructions to finish the job, but I was able to find some things online. One question, though. I watched Redfire's YouTube video that talks about taking the passenger B Pillar apart so I can plug...

    Test drove a used Cyberbeast today...WOW! I do have a couple of quick questions....

    Three observations (if the truck pictured is the one you are thinking about buying): * It doesn't have the Foundation marking on the side * It does have an aftermarket front bumper and side bars (Interesting) * For whatever reason, the front wheel cover is not mounted correctly (not sure why)...

    Cybertruck Mobile Connector question

    I am having a problem with my CT Mobile Connector. When I try to plug it into the bed outlet and charge another car, it would only go to 32 amps once or twice out of 10 or 12 tries. It would usually default to 6 amps and an error message would pop up on the car's screen that I'm trying to...

    overloaded ? 60amp Circuit breaker melts wire

    I don't see how your 100 amp panel (while powering everything in your house) has the excess capacity to for a new EV charging load at that high rate. Sure, you can rationize that you charge at midnight when the panel is lightly loaded, but that's not how the NEC load calculations work...

    When you say "reset", do you mean the soft reset for the vehicle where you push in both of the wheels on the squircle and hold them until the screen goes dark and reboots?

    Unsupervised FSD in 2025 for Texas and California says Musk at Robotaxi / Cybercab reveal

    I was there and took a lot of photos. The car and the tire/cover were a golden color. Honestly, it looked to me like the outer edge of the tire was painted gold to match the body and wheel cover... By the way, I saw someone tap on the door pretty good and it didn't make a metallic sound...

    $25K Model 2 and Robovan unveiling at Robotaxi event, predicts long time Tesla analyst

    Of all the events they've done, Tesla has only surprised people with an unexpected new car unveiling once (Roadster at the Semi event). There will be enough to unveil with the Robo Taxi and the new associated software platform that my money is on just a one vehicle unveiling with rides, etc.

    Sentry Mode Recording at Home Even Though it is Excluded

    I have my home address correctly entered into the navigation system. But if I turn on the Sentry mode and check the home exclusion box, it still records at home...For the time being, I have it turned off to avoid using excessive battery power... Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks.

    Declined for charger rebate in WA

    Yes, it matters (I have a utility regulatory background). Ratepayers are funding the utility rebate program to make it easier for EV owners to buy Level 2 charging equipment. The whole purpose of these programs is to get people off of Level 1 charging that comes with most vehicles (which could...
