Got mine last night, not a fan tbh already. My short drive it set its speed limit at 55mph on a street that is only 25 mph. In addition, the only drive profile that appears to follow the speed limit is sloth mode. They need to bring back the ability to set a max speed, it should have never been...
I'm at 24k miles and have had it over a year, though my overall efficiency is 458wh/mi :/ have taken it across the country and back 3 times so far, with one of the trips towing about 4-5klbs during winter with temps as low as -25f.
Edit: the nice thing though, tessie is reporting 0% degradation...
"Though suspicious of the media..."
Gee I wonder why th-
"[Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]"
Oh, there it is. How is this relevant to...
The option was added yes, but i can tell that option was enabled (but hidden) prior to this last update based on pedal response when i would try and override the current fsd speed. Stepping on the pedal while in fsd was always sluggish for me. Now that I disabled comfort mode, when I step on the...
I am posting this because I am curious if it is a fluke/placebo effect or if it is working.
I am half way through a 4000 mile road trip at about the 1200 mile mark I started losing my mind that the truck would continuously ride on fog lines and their subsequent rumble strips(which was not a...
Induction motors have significant draw backs with the biggest being they are not as efficient, per kwh, as a permanent magnet motor.
Tesla has done their research and, imo, is using the best main stream tech available because if they could ditch that permanent magnet motor, they would in a...
Tesla uses the induction motor for the "non-standard" drive motor because, as Elon put it, no part is the best part. An induction motor, while not in use, has next to zero electrical resistance resulting in very low losses coming from the inertial weight of spinning the shaft.
A permanent...
I have an anker solix c300 installed in my CT that charges off of usb-c (60 watts) which is always on regardless of charging status and outputs usb a, usb c, 12v dc cigarette lighter, and 3x 120 volt ac outlets (300 watts continuous, 600 watts surge). It is always on in my CT keeping my center...
What was advertised vs what was delivered. The original tri motor was listed with 3500 lbs payload, 14k towing, and 500 miles range est. What we got was roughly half of that at almost twice the price (when you factor in taxes and interest on the loan); 2300lbs payload, 11k towing, 300 miles est...
Looks like your tessie app is bugged or needs to be updated. That 0.00kwh under the circle graph should say 122.51kwh (assuming mine is correct at 122.51kwh which is basically what i have heard multiple sources quote as the pack size for the CT). Basically your tessie is dividing by 0 so it is...
Last time I towed, I was going from Washington state to Nebraska. I very specifically remember pulling up to a charger location and every stall was full. I dropped my trailer and one spot opened up in the 3 min it took to drop my trailer. Pulled in, started charging. Less than 10 min later I was...
I'd recommend just getting a 240vac genny and use that as a fill in for the wilderness areas that are the northern central states. I have a 4000 watt one that I keep in the bed as a back up. On the 120v 30 amp plug it gives about 9ish mi/hr charging. There are a few that are fairly quiet while...
You are right, I thought I saw that on Sandy Munro. It was Autoline that I saw the inductive charge port along side the range extender.
Autoline has labeled at 20:35 in this video () as the range extender isn't actually the range extender per a draft procedure for tesla service centers that I...
It's the extended battery port. If it doesn't let you apply power while driving, the extended battery would be completely useless.
Currently I am not planning on solar, it is just an option. I am currently looking at westinghouse generators (if you know about nikola tesla and westinghouse, then...
Autoline CT teardown shows the battery has an extended port, so it was intended to be added.
I personally (probably within the next year or so) plan on installing some programmable 800vdc power supplies (I'm thinking frunk right now) to be able to plug in roof top solar, my own batteries like...
I drove across the country and back last year with my CB. After calculating the cost for my f350 diesel from the average cost of diesel through the trip that I saw ($3/gal) and low balling my mpg that my truck gets (I estimated 20 mpg when I know I usually get 22-24 for highway driving) I found...
Got into my CB and was greeted with several faults, unable to charge (I didn't charge it last night and the cable wasn't connected), bed outlet door open (it wasn't), charge port door is open (it was closed and I couldn't get it to open via any means), and finally the "service required" message...
