Could be lots of reasons, but they are probably just lazy in rating. I recently got >250kW to 32% on a V3+. That is way more than enough time over 250kW to cause an issue if it was specifically power limited (which it really isn't since amps are the main issue).

And amazingly, the plug is only a small part of the problem. Most were paired with unwieldy, comically heavy cables that when it is below 45-50 degrees don't bend. :ROFLMAO: And of note, most CCS chargers are 800v capable to cut the amperage. So most chargers will be below 350-400 amps...

Certification... both the chargepoint operator and the automaker have to approve the usage of UL2252 adapters. Many chargepoint operators have said that is sufficient. As I recall (and could be wrong as I haven't looked in the last few months) Tesla has gone the route of approving specific...

As a general rule the Cyber 4680 has proven very durable from a degradation standpoint, really superior to any 2170 that has been put into a Tesla (though not all 2170s as a whole as there are LFP 2170s on the market that are amazing in that area). We are early, and things can change, but the...

Early 3/Y/S/X didn't use CCS communication protocols. In simplest terms, NACS (prior to being an open, published standard) used CAN communication while CCS utilized PLC. Tesla added the ability for PLC communication near the end of 2020 production. Now it gets really fuzzy for about a year where...

Yeah, but the software today doesn't equate to the future. We've seen it frequently that as the software gets more refined, it can be run on hardware that has less raw power. That doesn't mean it will happen (and I have doubts about HW3 ever running an equivalent FSD to today's on AI4), but what...

The timeframe I think is key. Odds are probably high that they can get FSD working on HW3 eventually. They'll 'solve' it on HW4 then condense it down once it gets good enough. Now the question is more, is that this year or 3 years from now? If it is 3 years from now, Tesla might just be better...

I'm just looking at the wear pattern. When the center is that much more worn than the shoulders, that's too much pressure. It certainly isn't the only issue you're facing there, but a factor.

I would say your fronts have excessive wear for ~10k mi too. Your alignment needs checked. I highly doubt FSD impacts it, but at a glance it looks like the alignment is off. It also looks like your tire pressures were too high. Still, something is off for that sort of wear at the mileage stated.

Mine has held up very well. I use it for firewood, carrying tools, gravel, ATV, etc... and I have a few scrapes, but nothing major. About the same as above. They would definitely be worse in an unlined truck bed and probably about the same in a lined bed. My only complaint is the sides have too...

One way is that that Tesla can't recognize all of the FSD purchase immediately, where as a subscription is recognized all at once. Right now Tesla is carrying >2.2b of deferred revenue that is mostly FSD (and some energy storage) that has to get released over time and as features come online...

CT will continue for a while. Tesla has a habit of keeping cars alive long past their expiration date (S/X). Plus, it is a test bed of a bunch of technologies and there is value in that for Tesla beyond pure production numbers.

252kw on superchargers, depending on model and soc, would be around 650 amps. So above 500 amps I stated there. CCS as a protocol until recently was limited to 500 amps. Most CCS/non-Tesla NACS chargers out there are 500 or less (EVGO has some that go over and now Ionna too). Now Tesla will run...

Podcasts, papers, teardown analysis... and simply knowing a lot of people in this field. I used to work in the energy development field and did a lot with grid battery storage, connections get made. Before I get into it...TLDR... I wouldn't expect Rivian to have issues. Using commodity cells...

With NACS being a published standard, it is certainly possible to do this. The communication isn't overly complicated.

Tesla's solution is simply V4 cabinets. They won't retrofit V3s with longer cables (some technical cooling issues) and the V4s just have longer cables attached. Though they won't be long enough for every situation still.

Each of them are simply pass throughs, which lessens the issue. Any decently made CCS to NACS adapter won't have any issue at 500 amps and neither will EVJect. Now there are a lot of bad adapters out there flooding Amazon and Alibaba... but I'd hope Applegreen didn't utilize a bad one. The other...

Another reason for me to avoid New Jesery. :ROFLMAO: That whole saga was/is stupid. Even worse that they didn't get the NACS adapter right. In this case an EVJect would likely solve that problem (that shouldn't exist in the first place). It is perfect safe to use with the new revision too.

Unless people are towing or have a hitch mounted rack on (which is simply a different problem really only solved by pull through), there should be zero issue. I've had a few be close, but always manageable.

If you're not doing much off road... Michelin Defender LTX Platinum is probably the best all around tire. Since you're coming from the AS tires, you can probably expect a slight drop off in efficiency (2-3%), but better than any true all terrain tire and better than the OEM attempt at AT. When...
