I'm tempted to buy the part and see if there's a way to physically disable the wireless charging and leave the key card reader intact. I'd much rather just have a Magsafe adapter in the cradle anyway, but the interference with the built in charger makes it overheat. It's silly having to put my...

Tesla has never been about being the cheapest form of transportation, but it is usually cheaper than equivalent transportation. My BMW X6M was costing me $600/month in gas (11 mpg, premium fuel requirement) and I replaced it with a Model X P100D which cost me $60/month charging at home. In...

80% of the battery would be about 98kWh or a bit under $11 charging at home. That's about 255 miles of driving, a bit over $0.04/mile.

You can't. One way conversion was offered for early FS owners to the new horn, there's never been an option to convert the other way.

One of the few AI implementations I'm actually excited about, because it plays to the strengths of a language model; being able to use natural language to control the myriad of vehicle options has huge potential.

Just buy a case, dummy....

I think aluminum is pretty typical at that gauge, my service mains were aluminum prior to installing the Powershare. My electrician opted to use copper though (technically at their own expense, since the cost didn't change) because it was slightly thinner and easier to bend and manage in...

I have a mobile service appointment on the 30th to replace mine. I opened the service request asking if there was an updated part because my chargers have never worked beyond just overheating everything. There's not a ton of free space in there, but you could certainly adhere some lower...

I'm pretty sure the mats are all coming out of the same (or a few) facilities. I ordered mine on Amazon for a similar price, although I had to cut out the holes (they were pre-marked) for the D rings. I definitely recommend the liner, it's good for catching and channeling water that leaks in...

Much of the work could be done by somebody sufficiently skilled, mounting the unit, routing wire (for gateway and UWC), mounting the UWC, etc. The full panel backup (the cheapest and most convenient option) requires removal of the meter, which requires your utility provider. Most utilities...

The reality is that Sentry Mode and even the Dash Cam are afterthoughts. Functionality added to the vehicles leveraging hardware intended for something else entirely. Computer hardware that draws 300W is fairly insignificant at 60mph (adding only 5Wh/mi), but it becomes an issue drawing...

I regularly use the chargers in airport parking. It's a parking lot, not a charging lot; nobody is coming into the lot and paying $8/hr looking for a 6kW charge. The expectation in an airport parking lot is that you're getting on a plane, so any space is for the duration of your trip. Hotel...

No reason at all to think it wouldn't be sold as a Foundation Series. It'll be used, used vehicles may or may not still have everything they sold with when new. And I'd keep everything that isn't attached.

Part of the issue is that FSD needs to be trained for everything you expect it to recognize. Right now, it's unlikely that FSD knows the difference between a chicken and an empty plastic bag blowing across the road. Once you throw it training data for a menagerie of animals, then you need to...

In some prior models, the onboard charger was made up of 2 or 3 24A modules (48A, up to 72A for older Model S/X). I haven't followed it too much in newer models, although I wonder if it's broken down into 3x16A modules now, since I think the Model 3 Standard Range was limited to 32A charging...

It'd also likely be way cheaper than the financial hit associated with getting rid of a new truck. Honestly, while I understand it's more sensitive an issue when your kids are involved; maybe this is a good opportunity to explain to them that while everyone is entitled to their opinion, it...

$5 more per month than my 2024 Model Y. Less than $1,200/yr in NC, try Farm Bureau.

Because raising taxes is unpopular and EV owners are an easy target to shoulder an unfair portion of the burden.

I used to spend $600/month in gas on my old BMW X6M, when I swapped it for the Model X P100D, it dropped to $60/month in electricity. I don't mind paying my fair share for road maintenance, the NC one is a little high buy not ridiculously so. The proposed federal tax though it much higher than...

Anyone have any experience with state registration requirements for weighted vehicles? NC requires a weighted tag for vehicles over 7000lbs GVWR, which includes the CT, but I just got my 1st registration renewal and it looks like Tesla set the licensed weight to 7000lbs, which as I understand...
