  1. How to keep hotspot on when leaving vehicle

    Stay off will turn everything off, including the center display. It's basically an energy conservation mode even moreso than normal. None of the things that turn on when you, say, enter the car will do so until you push the brake. And you are correct - pet mode just keeps climate control on...
  2. Some Supercharger v3 not available to 3rd parties?

    Not every v3 location has been opened. Trust the app. Also can check the Tesla app for this information as well.
  3. Does anyone else hate Gary?

    Wrong.
  4. Title and Registration Leasing Issue (Missouri)

    That's a major pain. Sorry. Missouri tag/titling (well, at least Kansas City) is legitimately the worst govt service ever.
  5. Title and Registration Leasing Issue (Missouri)

    Crazy. We also got a drive-away Illinois temporary tag that didn't expire for two months. That helped.
  6. Title and Registration Leasing Issue (Missouri)

    Whoa. Where in Missouri are you? I just got ours (also leased) tagged here in KC. We had to do it - not Rivian/Chase Financial.
  7. Electrify America Challenges

    Yeah, not saying you won't occasionally find them down or not working well - and that's unacceptable. I just believe that EA has made reliability progress in the last year+ and, at least here in the middle of the country, seem to now be as reliable as most everyone else. What we need to...
  8. Electrify America Challenges

    Ditto. Nothing but good EA experiences here. In fact, the worst charging experience I've had in the last six months was a derating Tesla Supercharger that wouldn't deliver over 300 amps just a minute into the session.
  9. Nationwide Insurance Dropped R1T Coverage

    If it was profitable to insure people at lower prices, a company would offer it. But it isn't. Insurance is a straight numbers business. These companies wouldn't be exiting markets if there was a way to make money. But the loss risk is just too high. It's frustrating as a consumer but I also...
  10. Nationwide Insurance Dropped R1T Coverage

    Insurance in general is just a super tough business right now. Between the cost of repairs (skyrocketing on vehicles and rising on homes), more weather events in the middle of the country (hail/wind events) and fires out west, it's hard for the companies to make money. I expect it to continue...
  11. Gen 2 Dual Large vs. 2022 Quad Large

    This, to me, is the largest issue. If you're going to tow a good amount, nothing beats kWh capacity. The G2 large pack's significantly lower capacity is the biggest downgrade in G2.
  12. Refresh 22" range wheels inspired by F1?

    Driving style will always have a larger influence on range than tires/wheels (other than in the extreme). But yes, there is data to support a range increase. Low rolling resistance/less drag/less weight of wheel/tire combos all impact range.
  13. New R1 Refresh spotted photos! [Updated w/ New Wheel Aero Covers pic]

    Reason is almost certainly cost. A different supplier or more efficient assembly or a combo of the two. I don't expect anything in this refresh that isn't a cost savings. It may also have a functional or aesthetic value, but first and foremost it's about getting cost of assembly down, even if...
  14. A2ZEV Tested at tesla charging stations.

    I always plug the adapter to the cable first. Then just plug in like a normal CCS charger. Works great. And Plug-and-Charge works perfectly, so no need to have the Tesla app open at all (unless you subscribe - then you need to use the app to activate the charger before plugging in).
  15. Automatic Lowering at higher speeds

    It will lower from high to standard regardless of your setting. I haven't figured out when it goes from standard to low when it's on auto height.
  16. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    All the opposition, when this topper design is the best for efficiency, surprises me. It's not a shape for everyone (including me), but someone needed to make one and I'm glad they did.
  17. Yakima Tent for R1T Bed - whatever happened to it?

    Also would recommend the 4x4 Colorado Alto Mini as a great option. Their tents are very impressive.
  18. UPDATED: Warning - Safety Defect Found with Lectron NACS Adapter

    Ditto this - after a few sessions the handle will insert easier and you can tell it fully locks.
  19. NACS Adapters now shipping…s00nish!

    I both ordered an A2Z adapter, and then was fortunate to get in at number 93 on the Tesla produced Ford adapter for my Lightning. Since we're leasing the R1T, I stuck the one from Ford in it, and am continuing to use (and love) the A2Z with my Lightning. The R1T is my wife's, and the...
  20. Storing R1T while plugged into 120v socket - Concerns?

    If you decide going this route is the right plan, you could set your charge limit to 50%, then raise it a few days before arriving. At ~1 kW rate of charge from a 120 outlet, you'd need ~65 hours to get to 100%. If you even need to get that high . If you don't need 100% at your place, raise it...
