I definitely would’ve chosen Tactical Grey if it were an option. White in a truck for our family is impractical and antithetical for our often-dirty adventure lifestyle plus kids. Was SO relieved they didn’t do white seats along with white wraparound, would have been a deal-breaker. I agree with...

Waze, for one, for those of us with heavy right foot. And with the cost of speeding tickets in MA you should know the value of Waze?

Yep agreed, Autopilot/Autosteer has been my fave feature for long roadtrips. Just did 10 hrs UT-CA yesterday and sorely missed basic TACC+Autosteer

I used Baja mode this winter for drifting/donuts in my AWD, was a blast, eminently controllable. Loved the slider to control bias front/rear. Psyched for the improvements in the new update!

I asked for the Tesla Insurance quote, then declined and rolled my own. Didn't slowdown my delivery

Which installer? Tesla assigned them to you?

Sorry for hijacking, but with all the UT eyeballs in this thread… Any positive PowerShare install experiences to share in the Salt Lake City area?

hopefully...https://electrek.co/2024/03/08/tesla-nacs-extension-cable-fix-supercharging-issues-different-port-locations/

You're ignoring some use-cases beyond your own, including mine. I've long used UMC w/14-50R with relatively efficient MS and MX, but now a more power-hungry Rivian Max + Cybertruck to charge and we've moved to a TOU/Net-metering plan so need the faster charging speeds to charge off-peak and...

Yep I'm gonna wait for the Tesla-built Supercharger-capable cable. I already have a 50' Nema 14-50 extension cable, for less $$, for home.

Any SLC/Utah owners begin your PowerShare process yet? Which installer were you referred to, how was/is the experience so far? Cost estimates? @DumpsterFire any experience with this since you were early delivery? I’ve received an estimate from the installer Tesla assigned to me, not impressed...

Any Utahns start your PowerShare install yet? Did tesla refer you to CarchargingPros or someone else, and what has been your experience so far?

Hey Jared I’m around the corner from Clayton MS, great to hear there’s another one in the neighborhood! Guess it’s you, me, and @DumpsterFire around here, not sure if any other CTOC lurkers in our neighborhood of SLC? Sorry I didn’t see your plea for weekend delivery financing earlier...

Hmmm…I wonder if mine is down there, (but I don’t even have a VIN yet)!? I was a first-minute Rez during the initial reveal, multiple owner/shareholder/referrals. I noticed silent invite hiding in my App 12/15 late-night, invite disappeared overnight and returned 12/19, ordered FS DM AWD. So...

Well played, sir…well played

Ok so you have the physics equations, now do the calculation for two scenarios: 1) round trip energy in the car with accel/regen behavior to maintain constant speed, with heat losses during accel and regeb 2) a fluctuating speed that is lower than constant when ascending, higher than constant...

You’re both correct and incorrect on this one; in city driving @HaulingAss is correct. For freeway driving, @Eddyrelik ‘s query is the correct answer to better efficiency (but not necessarily stress-free driving!)

Sorry you’re incorrect, and I suspect your error is assuming that regen energy = 100% recovered. It’s significantly lossy to covert kinetic to stored electricity. When you allow the car to coast up to its terminal drag velocity (ignoring speed limits for arguments sake.), your car will travel...

“Coast” method described by other posters in this thread is more efficient because of heat losses under acceleration and regen. So if you lose ~5% under throttle and lose ~5% under regen you’ve lost 10% to heat/friction etc for the round trip of that energy. There’s no such thing as a perpetual...

Fair point in the electrician, but why wouldn’t you install a 14-50R before the truck arrives, while you’re waiting for Tesla installer to install Gateway/Wall Charger? I’ve used 14-50R in my homes for ~7 yrs. And if you receive the truck but have to wait for the PowerShare hardware, then why...
