I sent you a DM.

It's not just about price range. They have a similar footprint though the R1S is taller and squarer, and they are basically the only two EVs that can seat 7 passengers. I don't consider the Model Y third row usable by more than very small children, and other 3-row EVs from Kia and Volvo aren't...

Thanks, @jeeden I’ll give it a try. Is there a way to do things like check charge level or turn on a/c or heat in the R1 by asking Alexa inside the house? I tried adding a third party skill like that for my Tesla once but it never really worked smoothly.

Hi all, I just got my R1S in a private sale a few weeks ago, and after dealing with vehicle registration and some service issues, I'm at the point where I've mastered basic operation and thinking about whether/how to use Alexa in the car. I've had Teslas for ten years and like the voice command...

This week I ordered the Universal Wall Connector for the family lake house, and a Teslatap Mini for my R1S. I went with the 80A one because I have an 80A Tesla HPWC at home and who knows, one of my two friends with Ford Lightnings might visit…

The dongle is either locked to the base or to the handle, which is how I’d want it to work so it can’t get lost or stolen. State of Charge has a first use video here - no review yet.

Clearly they’re still learning and figuring out the various interactions and issues between 12v and HV systems, and software. I was getting really frustrated last week with repeated related issues but then I thought about the challenges I had with my original Model S back in 2013. It took I...

Final update: Last Tuesday they swapped in a new charger, and the tech said he was able to charge on it so they called me to pick it up. I Ubered there with a friend to give him a ride in the new car, but insisted on trying to charge it myself before we left. Sure enough, it didn't charge on the...

So I ordered a set of the yellow pucks which came quickly - ordered Friday, arrived Monday afternoon. I immediately took them to the local gas station, popped the four puck holes (three opened easily by pushing on the back side, one needed a screwdriver to pry it open) and stuck the pucks on...

One reason I didn't get Canyon Red was that I wanted the lighter wood but the only way to get it was Forest Edge, and I wasn't sure how the FE green would go with the red exterior. Now it sounds like they no longer let you order FE with CR, even if you wanted it...

I’ve had my FG/FE R1S for a month and love it. Saw a friend’s FG/BM a while back and it just felt dark, especially the wood. I love the lighter wood. I had a loaner last week that was black with BM and I was thrilled to get back in mine, felt lighter and more upscale.

So the 60A version should be fine, and saves $40 - right?

Tesla just released its new Universal Wall Connector that comes with a Tesla/NACS connector and has a built in “magic dock” adapter for J-1772. It sells for $595, so $120 more than the normal Wall Connector. And they stopped selling the J-1772 only version. Says it will start shipping in...

Fxxc Still available, but I have no idea what it would cost to ship, and whether it would still make financial sense for you. Whenever I go to UPS or Fedex it seems I'm paying more than the cost of the gift to send a small package - I can't imagine what they would charge for this large box...

The first guy I spoke with - clearly misinformed - told me they didn't need to lift it. Then he decided to ask someone else, who said they did. The first guy then further explained to me that they needed to lift the wheels off the ground so that they could grab and shake them, to ensure they are...

Thank you- and unfortunately from what I found it appears the two are incompatible. Edit - I ordered a set of the magjaxx in yellow from that site.

Recommended brand? And do they work on Teslas as well? TIA

I just took my new R1S to my usual place in Cambridge MA and they insisted they had to lift it. I don’t have pucks so I left. I guess my choices now are: 1) find another place that won’t lift 2) get pucks 3) remove the panels I’m leaning towards #2 because this will be an annual thing, plus in...

I bought a R1S including this wall charger in a private sale last month, but already have a Tesla charger and a NEMA 14-50 so don't need it. Box is unopened. I am in Cambridge for pickup or could possibly arrange to meet somewhere convenient. Please PM if interested, happy to do a FaceTime to...

My 2013 Tesla Model S had an AM radio that worked fine - I guess they put shielding around the motor or something. When I swapped it for a 2-motor Model X in 2016, the X didn't have AM. I imagine shielding two motors was more involved than just one, and Tesla likely had collected and studied the...
