  1. First Tesla Supercharger with "Magic Dock" CCS adapter successfully charged a R1T. This is fantastic!

    I got 215 a couple of days ago but it went down to 165 by the end of 5 minutes. I think that this is the optimal charging curve right now.
  2. Official Announcement: R1S Max Pack/Enduro/390 mile range

    Try the Ronco Home Catheter by Propeil. If you order soon, you can get the Pocket Fisherman for shipping and handling.
  3. First Tesla Supercharger with "Magic Dock" CCS adapter successfully charged a R1T. This is fantastic!

    I say better to have the ability to use Tesla SC and not need it than to need it and not be able to use it.
  4. Positive Mobile Tech Report

    My full size 21" tire/wheel was delivered this morning by a mobile tech. Since he was coming by anyway, I set up several service items that weren't showstoppers but needed attention. The Tech arrived on time, recognized the underlying issues and took care of every squawk and he left my Tee in a...
  5. Efficiency report for last 1000 miles

    Off. I can’t stand the idea of them scratching up the wheels.
  6. Efficiency report for last 1000 miles

    I'm either too lazy or too disinterested (or probably both) to do all that work. (I suppose you would also need to figure in power loss between the charger and the battery too.) I just read the chart.
  7. Efficiency report for last 1000 miles

    I thought it might be interesting to track my KWh/mile for the last 1000 miles. Mostly All Purpose with Conserve used for over the road portions.
  8. Tesla J1772 “Black” Charger - reviews / experiences?

    I currently use rivian’s wall charger (48A) for my Tee with no issues. My Tesla Y arrives next week and I plan on using the Tesla 1772 adapter with the Rivian cable. There are some reports of the Tesla 1772 and Rivian not playing together nicely and if that happens, I’ll buying the Tesla wall...
  9. Range on 21s WITHOUT Aero Covers???

    I took the Aeros off my 21’s because they were scratching the wheels. The effectiveness of them is hard to quantify. I’m OK with my efficiency without them …. But with unscathed wheels.
  10. Recurrent Battery Monitoring Service

    Cost is free to the owner. A dealer will have to pay for the battery report just like they do for CarFax. As far as me “being the product”, well, every time we use the internet .. or fire up the Tee, there’s a whole host of companies taking notice.
  11. Recurrent Battery Monitoring Service

    Enrolled this week in the Recurrent battery monitoring service this week. Figured that a crowd service source comparing my battery to others might be useful. And if and when I trade my Tee, it wouldn’t hurt to have a battery “carfax” in hand.
  12. 1,000 Electrify America Chargers Coming to 200 TA Rest Stops Across the U.S.

    Buc-ee's (only one "c", not two) is installing Tesla SC. Haven't see a CCS at one.
  13. Day Trip: 284 miles with 10% battery left (R1T with 21" wheels)

    Did a day-trip yesterday from home base (Hendersonville, NC) to the Tesla SC in west Knoxville, TN (downhill in the rain). After test driving the Tesla Y long range, we stopped by the sister-in-law's house on the northside for a visit and then back home (uphill through rain). Left with 100%...
  14. West Virginia is a Rivian Dead Zone

    Well, that's no bueno. I've used that EA station numerous times. Nice place to grab a meal while charging.
  15. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    FWIW, when Tesla reset prices a few weeks ago, I cancelled my R1S order and ordered a Model Y to be delivered late February. It's not the same vehicle but it arrives in about 3 weeks. I can use my home and work plugins for when I drive the Tesla. I can re-evaluate the market in 12-18 months...
  16. Just passed 10k miles. 2.44m/KWh consumption so far (on 21" wheels)

    All purpose in daily driving (I like the get-up-and-go of 4 motors) and Conserve when there's substantial highway miles. We live in a smaller city and there's a healthy mix of city streets and 4-lane state highway with very little bumper to bumper traffic. My area in WNC is *NOT* flat - lots of...
  17. Just passed 10k miles. 2.44m/KWh consumption so far (on 21" wheels)

    Took delivery of my Tee on 8/9 and passed the 10k mark on my way to a nearby town for a meeting. The truck has performed splendidly (knock on wood) and I don’t have a single complaint. 2.44m/KWh over the lifetime of the truck includes an equal amount of summer, fall, and winter driving.
