Just curious, doesn’t the R1T have a molded bed mat standard? Why did you need to add one?

Tesla owner since 2013: S, X, 3 and Y. Never happened to me personally, probably because I was always cautious and waited to see reports of success first, but there were definitely OTA updates that disabled functions or fully bricked cars. Sometimes they were fixed by a call to Service who then...

Tesla does. My son’s parking area doesn’t have WiFi or cell coverage, so when he wants to install an update in his Model 3 Tesla Service told him just go to any Service Center and leave it parked in the lot for a bit. He’s been updating that way for several years.

Ten years driving Teslas and far more than that with iPhone, Macs and PCs . I never apply an update when away from home, or when I know I will need to use the device for something important.

It’s ten or so years ago now that I was regularly commuting to Bloomington/Normal for a work project that lasted over a year. Mitsubishi still owned the plant but may have already stopped production by that point. I usually stayed at the Uptown (= Normal) Marriott though my client was Downtown...

When I was having 12v issues, the car was showing no HV battery left while my app was showing 64%. 64% was the correct value, but the internal systems were screwed up (turns out there was a loose main ground wire) and the telemetry wasn’t updating anything.

I agree with @VSG abf @SANZC02. It would be odd for both chargers to not work. I had a problem where it charged fine on level 3 (EA, etc) but nothing on the AC charger - tested via the mobile connector on 120v, 240v, and at a public ChargePoint station. Took a while to figure out but it tuned...

I can’t figure out the meaning of the buttons. Not intuitive at all. I reviewed the manual a few months ago when I first got the car but feel like I need to review again before I can successfully use it. As a result I don’t even try to use it. On top of that, a couple of weeks ago it just...

He’s full of crap. I don’t want to give him clicks on his YouTube, but based on the transcript he’s got nearly all his facts wrong. Ford and GM are slowing plans, and Lucid is hurting because they were slow to market and Tesla’s price cuts, but a lot of that is simply due to consumers slowing...

I don’t know what the earlier EVs like the EV1, RAV4 electric and Nissan Leaf did for shifting, but when Tesla introduced the Model S, Daimler-Benz was a shareholder and they had some technology/parts sharing agreements. The stalks and switches in the Model S were from the Mercedes parts bin...

Tesla owner since 2013 - S, then X, also 3, then Y. Got the R1S 3 months ago. My R1S is a bit of a time machine in that it brings me back 8 or so years in many respects - software and some bugs being worked out, new features rapidly being deployed through updates (last month's suspension tuning...

Thanks for clarifying - I (correctly) thought I didn't have it on my iPhone 13 so just confirmed: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-emergency-sos-via-satellite-iph2968440de/ios

That’s great @COdogman ! Would save us a ton in prize and taxes, leaving more $ to fund programs!

“In” is the key word. Eg, casino gambling is not allowed in CA, but you can do it when you’re in Nevada. Purchasers residing in those states can buy tickets if they certify they’re not making the purchase in them.

I have a different annoyance. I've done two trips to NYC so far, and both times it suggested charging stops in CT at EA chargers that I had researched and was comfortable with (Stratford 8-station and North Haven 4-station). But on both drives I was apparently driving more efficiently than the...

Thanks for your views, @WorldComposting , @DuoRivians , and @240vPlug. It makes sense that they would prioritize the more profitable Dual-Motor setups. And any delays on the Quad Motor could be driven by desire to push people to dual motor, supply chain issues, plan to replace Bosch Quad Motors...

I cancelled my personal R1S reservation after buying one privately, but I still hold November 2022 R1S and R1T reservations that I created as potential grand prize options for a climate nonprofit's EV raffle I run (see carbonraffle.org for details). In recent months I've been getting bugged with...

Thank you for the explanation, @seatosummit. It’s pushing just to the edge of my electrical comprehension. I need to find a good online course or something to give myself an electrical education.

Last week I stopped at two different EA stations. One was marked 150kW, the other 350kW. At both I was getting 171-172kW for sustained periods, according to the EA charger’s screen, which surprised me on the first. Any ideas why?
