Good luck with that. Some software updates are automatic, mandatory, and will come whether connected to wifi or not.

My 2/25 CT AWD has the roof upgrade. Big switch from the ‘24 models. I was all set to add tint but the detailer said unnecessary.

Sorry, but incorrect. I heat with gas. My power usage is highest in summer. I never use grid power. With the Powerwall I don’t even dip into the grid at night in mid-December. My power bill is solely a fee. $10 per month.

The use of net metering makes it only FAIR that excess production is sold to the utility for THEIR wholesale cost. I’m amazed that there are any remaining locales in the US where panel owners get a premium over wholesale, apparently some up to the full retail kwh price. We do effectively earn...

Sorry, but this is paranoid. Utilities are publicly regulated due to thier monopoly status. They cannot adjust fees without hearings and approvals by independent regulators. Anything that’s part of your existing deal is grandfathered. My net metering power purchase agreements in three...

Highly doubtful. The only reason they did so was because I could prove that I had communicated via email with the sales rep the fact that I intended to intended to use that gateway in a powershare, Powerwall, dual-charger and solar panel home, so the gateway confusion was entirely on them. My...

You must have a Gateway if you have Powerwall, solar panels, and intend to use bidirectional power backup from the truck. I went back and forth with Tesla engineering during installation last summer because their online materials were misleading, implying that all you need for that is Powerwall...

Utility willingness to purchase power on a net metered basis cannot change because it is legislatively mandated using logic that has zero cost to the utility. The utilities must purchase my excess production at their “avoidable cost”, which is essentially what they pay to grid providers for raw...

I have never had solar production below my usage. Yes, December production was low, but still above our usage. 21 kWh 50-panel system connected to PW 3, awaiting the software update to use the CT for added backup. My payback will be under 3 years - between selling excess production to the...

What is that? I haven’t seen a recalibration message on my Powerwall 3 or app. It was installed in November 2025 after my July 2025 version failed due to an installation error. All warrantied but this process is new to me. I’ve read the manuals, don’t see anything. I think I recall the...

I think it’s pretty clear that “Gary” isn’t in the U.S. based on language skills and address.

This trailer is 10,300 pounds. 95-100 max range, so practical is 75. 1450 wh/mi at 55-60. Great for around town, getting service, impossible for my 1,050 mile tow job every six months. I’m back to using an F-350.

Order a new one and then return the old one in the new one’s replacement window. The Silver Spring service center told me to do this when I missed the return window on a broken bed divider. Worked like a charm.

Coal power was up, just not as much as solar/renewables. The solar/renewables stat is capacity, not actual usage. Much of the industrial-grade solar isn’t grid-connected. The fact is that they are still opening a new coal-generated power plant every few days (last year was 3/week). There is...

My first VIn was #609, a 2012 MS. I get the process, have owned seven Teslas. The first few thousand MS and MX models had some hand construction but not after then. The S/X line was the most automated in history, with a great documentary made about the high use of robotics - robots with names...

Over 630,000 MS/X have been made. The Fremont factory was a high volume production facility, first for the Toyota/GM j/v, then for Tesla production. Yes, gig TX is orders of magnitude larger, but by any normal auto production standard, the MS and MX were high volume models. Over 100k MS/X...

For suspension alone is worth that for some uses.

You are the person throwing insults dude.

You're embarrassing yourself. The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling truck for 49 consecutive years and the best-selling vehicle OF ANy KIND overall for 44 consecutive years. In 2025, the F-Series sold 828,832 trucks, increasing sales by 8.3% and outselling its nearest competitor by...
