  1. NACS still a BIG differentiator for Tesla - not what I hoped for

    There are still a lot of V2 only stations in the Intermountain west. Many of these are in sparsely populated areas. I have used most of these stations at one time or another, and if you donā€™t have to share, 150 kW is plenty, particularly if you have a small battery like in the 3/Y. I donā€™t...
  2. R1S Unreasonably Fragile Roof Glass

    Iā€™m sorry this happened to you. $2500 for glass roof replacement is insane. The roof replacement on my Model Y was $1286. I really like my R1S, but the repair costs are worrisome.
  3. What's with the horrible steering wheel quality?

    I had a small bubble on my steering wheel at 3 oā€™clock. Mobile service replaced the steering wheel, and the replacement is good.
  4. Even in Matte Black, CT Looks Like Crap // Jalopnik Headline

    There was a great comment on the Inside EVā€™s thread about wrapping one in green with a ā€œWMā€ logo on it.
  5. Southern Utah desert is also a charging desert

    Ideally, you would also have fast charging in Escalante, as it is about 155 miles from Bryce Canyon to Hanksville.
  6. Southern Utah desert is also a charging desert

    Tesla will be building Superchargers at Bryce Canyon and Kanab. The Kanab location will also open up the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Currently, Kanab only has a few unreliable 62 kW CCS chargers. Iā€™m sure infrastructure is a limiting factor. If you have not visited this area, it is difficult...
  7. Regenerative braking - revisited

    Yes! I live in Utah, and love being able to drive up and down mountain passes without using the friction brakes. I can drive down a canyon with a 3500 foot descent in 8 miles and tight turns just by modulating the accelerator. So much better than downshifting and braking.
  8. Cybertruck charging port not looking good. Rivian’s location is better

    Never mind the bollards, hereā€™s the Cybertruck.
  9. Tesla has removed the Standard Range Model X in the US and dropped prices up to 19%. The Model X is now eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit.

    I bought my MYP for 67,000 in November 2021. It has been a great car with zero problems, so that doesnā€™t bother me so much. Our MXP that we bought for 119,000 in January 2022 has had many problems, so that one stings a little more. At least I ordered my R1S in February 2022 (took delivery 3...
  10. Is the Model X now a better buy over R1S? (WARNING: NO ELON MUSK DISCUSSIONS)

    The captains chairs do not fold into the floor. They do move forward, but your storage space will be limited compared to a vehicle where the second row seats fold flat. My model Y has much more storage room with the back seats folded flat compared to my six seat model X. The second row pedestal...
  11. Mirror Damage from Quick Quack Car Wash

    Hand washing your salt and ice encrusted vehicle in 20Ā° weather in Utah in January can be a bit difficult.
  12. Tesla has removed the Standard Range Model X in the US and dropped prices up to 19%. The Model X is now eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit.

    I paid 119k for my MXP in January, 2022. We needed a 3 row vehicle and didnā€™t want to buy another ICE SUV. Our 2015 navigator was terminal. We just took delivery of an R1S two weeks ago. I didnā€™t order the R1S until February, 2022. I plan on keeping the MX as long as possible, as I would take a...
  13. Questions about using a Tesla wall connector at home

    I have 2 Tesla wall connectors, and bought the 80A Tesla Tap mini that was specified to work with the Rivianā€˜s oversized ground pin. Works perfectly and is a great fit on both the Tesla wall connector charging handle and the Rivianā€™s charge port.
  14. Well that sucks! Rivian insurance doubles in 1 year

    743/6 months 500 deductible collision , 100 deductible comprehensive. State Farm, SLC. Most expensive premium I have ever had. For comparison, my Model X Plaid is 470/6 months with the same deductibles.
  15. Windshield cracked - hit by a rock on the highway

    Sorry, I misspoke. I have both. There was a stop sale on the windshield film a while back due to distortion. Mine has been fine. My PPF guy stopped using it because of distortion issues. He just started installing windshield film again. Iā€™m not sure heā€™s using STEK or another product. I will be...
  16. Windshield cracked - hit by a rock on the highway

    I have STEK Dynoshield on my Model X and Model Y. Iā€™ve taken several hard hits, and, although it is impossible to know for certain, I think that I have saved myself at least a couple of broken windshields. Also, it just reduces my stress level driving on I 15 along the Wasatch front, where...
