A lot of people point to relatively expensive adapters, but I've used this one several times with good results. It feels well made and is less than half the price of a lot of others: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJXDGW1J An adapter really shouldn't be more than $50. They're really nothing...

Some snippets from the manual on the drive modes, including rally mode. Just searched for "rally" using a desktop. Note that rally is listed as an off-road drive mode. They don't tell you what it's like to use on highways since it's not intended for use there.

There are tweeters in the a-pillars. The dash speakers are all midrange drivers. I'm not sure if the center channel is low passed or not though, but it probably is. I think all the crossovers are done digitally, but they're not adjustable. Sometimes the tweeters will have a simple cap to...

Not sure what you mean by the midrange speakers being towards the center. Two are on the corners of the dash and then there's the center channel. That's as wide as you can make it. My first Model S had the base stereo with 2-ways up front. All the midrange came out of the woofers in the...

Seems about right. If the factory uses a low pass filter on the woofer (pretty sure they do), they may roll off around 300hz where the midrange can pick up. I ran 3-way components in a previous car and I crossed my midbass at 250hz. This keeps the voices and instruments higher on the dash...

My Teslas were topped off when they went into service, though it was actually kind of annoying because it just watered down the Listerine.

I was also a little bummed my washer fluid wasn't filled when my truck was in for service earlier this year, but Listerine isn't that expensive so I just did it myself.

What about just using the bed camera when reversing? Not quite the same as having the camera on the other side of the bike, but it's also already built into the truck.

Pretty lousy article. I am no Tesla fanboy (or hater, really) but the author of the referenced LendingTree article undermines their credibility when they say stuff like this: Going fully electric may not mean as much if you’re a menace on the streets. Really, the benefits of driving an EV are...

What wheel/tire config are you on? You'll be traction limited by the 20ATs and 0-60 times will be higher. I believe all of the Rivian vehicles are rated for 0-60 with the most aggressive factory tire choice.

The driver's door handle developed a pretty loud creak on my truck, but it was only noticeable when you pulled the handle to open the door. Otherwise it was fine. I had the truck in for service anyway so I asked them about it and they replaced the whole door panel. It seemed like there was...

I don't find the ride to be that bad in low/firm. I prefer it over low/soft. Lowest can be jarring and dizzying on certain surfaces though. The responsiveness is great, however. It's something you just can't get in AP mode, even if you reduce traction control to allow the rear to remain...

If you're offered a "X year" coating, check the fine print. A lot of places that advertise multi year coatings require you to come back every year for some kind of pricey maintenance, or they'll invalidate its warranty. I did DIY CQuartz on my two Model S. The first one I took extra time and...

Kind of a dumb article. The R1T in that spec hasn't been released. Here is the actual top 3 right now: 1. Hummer EV - 1000 hp 2. R1T Tri - 850 hp 3. CT Tri - 845 hp G1 quad is just behind @ 835hp

Definitely not "necessary." If you consider that level of performance a requirement for safety, you're not doing a very good job of checking your mirrors and yielding the right of way. To hit 60mph in 100 yards, you need about a 7 second 0-60 time. That's achievable in many cars, such as a...

Same here. I took delivery of a '23 in June and I pressed them to install it when I brought my truck in for service at the very end of last year. They said it may take a few weeks (and it did) but they did it. I just added it as another issue to my ticket.

You'd use something like this for a 14-50: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-15-ft-6-3-Black-Stranded-Romex-SIMpull-CU-NM-B-W-G-Wire-63950006/301096024 I'd ask your electrician to check NEC 400.8...

Are you saying you have an extension cord hard wired into a breaker on the panel? And an electrician did it? Extension cords like these are not meant for permanent hard wire installation. What does the panel look like? This is bizarre. To adapt the plug end, you would need a female-female...

We would need to know more about the plug on the side of your house and how your generator connects to your panel. Typically the outlet on the side of a house for a generator would be male, and you would use a male to female cord to hook up your generator that has female receptacles on it. Can...

Even if spares were free, there is a tradeoff in having to store a spare that's over 30" in diameter somewhere, and in many vehicles, that space has to come from valuable cargo or the passenger compartment. A lot of people aren't willing to give that up and will instead keep their phone charged...
