When I was researching what I could achieve towing my Airstream with my X, I came across some suggestions that the "hit" to a vehicle with an ICE is less than with an EV. That is because internal combustion engines are already relatively inefficient in the comparison (about 40% for the best ICE...

On the Tesla Motors Club forums, there are some excellent sleuths who find Supercharger permits by searching new permits in suspected locations. I'm not great at this, but thought it might be worthwhile to start a thread for anyone who has ideas where/when the adventure network might get...

I'm not a 20-something rock climber. I'm a camper and hiker, though, and I also own a few acres that I manage myself. I've never been a truck guy, so a full size work pickup is overkill. Something that can tow my small camper, do small dump runs and be used to deliver gravel or mulch to the...

This is the most likely scenario in my opinion, and is the same as Tesla has done in the past. My deposit was refundable until I configured and submitted (and possibly still refundable for a few days after that, IIRC). I am late in the reservation queue, but plan to spec a "fully loaded"...

I think I see the door to the left of the receiver.

Late response to the R1V consumer edition idea, but boy would a Rivian camper van be cool as hell.

I agree with this, though I think CT will be able to rapidly catch up and pass the Rivian deliveries (order conversions permitting) due to Tesla's ability to supply itself with batteries and other vertically integrated components. Plus their willingness to deliver cars that maybe aren't quite...

Having towed a lot with an EV, I can tell you that unhitching to charge is kind of the norm. It's also not a big deal at all. An extra 5 minutes max on both ends of the transaction, even with weight distribution. That said, I mostly tow my camper in good weather (summers on the West Coast) and...

Thanks. He mentioned carbon neutral which isn't correct unless they somehow tapped into carbon neutral electricity the entire way, which is extremely unlikely. Less carbon, absolutely. In some ways, based upon the things he's saying, it seems like lessons that many EV owners already know...

I don't. :(

It's worth evaluating your driving needs as well. I considered adding a second EVSE (Tesla Wall Charger) in our garage when we got our X, but decided to try plugging in the car that needed the charge more each night. That method has worked fine for our driving habits and we've never been in a...

Assuming the sample used to generate the histogram is representative of the wider fleet. I question a lot of these TeslaFi stats because there's a little selection bias in them (not necessarily with regard to range, but other factors) and the count is relatively low compared to the actual fleet...

The idea that one comes at the cost of the other is perplexing to me. The resources that would make an "adventure video" are unlikely to be the same skill set as those that work on production ramp up. And I'm assuming, or at least hoping, that owner updates are reliant upon having some...

My Model X tongue weight limit is 500 lbs, and I'm already close with my Airstream when it's loaded, plus the Equal-i-zer hitch. When/if I get my R1T, I'll likely join you in the Hensley/ProPride club.

Boy, I’d make the worst CSI detective! “I see some possible DNA under the handle of this dresser!” “Sir, the killer confessed a week ago.” I totally agree on WD. And I also like the Hensley style hitches but they add a lot of tongue weight so I’ve towed with a friction sway solution to date.

I downloaded the video (attached here) since Instagram doesn't seem to allow you to scrub. I was trying to scrub back and forth on the hitch section to see what kind of hitch they were using and whether they were using weight distribution. It appears they are using weight distribution bars, but...

Yep, I feel pretty confident that's what I saw. I'll keep my eyes peeled moving forward (not that I'm driving much these days..) Thanks!

I live in Sonoma, and I swore I saw a Lucid Air driving through recently, but I only caught the back of the vehicle in the distance, and it looked dark blue. I find it unlikely it was the vehicle used at the track, which I would imagine they brought there in/on a trailer of some type, but Sonoma...

When I picked up my 2014 Model S, I did so at the Tesla factory in Fremont, as it's only a couple of hours from my house. My son was 7 years old and I took him out of school that day to take the tour. It was a really cool experience and I'm glad I did it. I would definitely recommend that kind...

For sure. But it seems they have at least a case against the individual(s) who took the info, and at most a case against Rivian if it's endemic to the group that has come over from Tesla (implying that perhaps it was coordinated with Rivian). Likewise if Rivian chose to use the stolen...
