It's definitely my experience that showroom employees in any manufacturer know very little and are the last to know much of anything. I wouldn't trust this a bit.

Sweet.. are they selling adapters?

Would an older topocharge pad be capable of the 25w puck swap?

Tesla's only use Google Maps for imaging and metadata, not for actual routing. I believe that's TomTom, fyi.

The problem here is the car has gps.. and I guarantee they geolocate it based on more than just the incoming ip if they're smart in the least.. and we know they are :)

I didn't mean Kazakhstan explicitly, just the unsupported countries.

If this goes anything like Tesla, if you're in an unsupported country -- you are unsupported :( In Canada my AT&T sim roamed over to Bell. Even if you get cell service I would suspect the GPS showing you there would be a problem.

Also to what I was getting at 120V is ~80% efficient (20% burned off in heat/inefficiencies) whereas the 240V is typically around 90-97% efficient. It's not much in the micro, but it certainly adds up in the macro.

There is still an inherent inefficiency in 110V charging which means you are burning a good amount of kWhs in the aggregate for no great reason.

1-2 hours can be the difference on a long commute vs not having to fast charge. But I hear you. you said “don’t let anyone tell you” but you couldve mentioned that limitation too :)

If you want to be stuck at 40 amps, sure.

you actually do it with the Tesla One installer app or the Tesla app itself now by connecting to an ssid the wall connector broadcasts. Gen2 had the dip switches, Gen3 (including the universal) do it via software. i have 2 universal wall connectors here with dedicated 60 amp home runs. They...

does your commute consume 100% of the battery?

CCS2 is superior to CCS1... the Mennekes connector is much better than J1772. So while they endure it, they also had a better form factor to begin with.

I'm well aware of what I paid for, and at the time bought it to see the journey to actual self-driving which has been interesting. But your statement makes it read like you're saying people could only buy FSD in 2018, it was available for purchase long beyond that with HW3.

that’s weird. I bought FSD in December 2020.

This has way more to do with outdoor temperature than it does any specific update.

Like everyone else is telling you, EREV from Rivian isn't likely at all.

For your tow hook if your car doesn't have them on the front bumper a la standard pack.

For a NASA scientist this guy was shady as hell in his methods if you wish to be completely objective.
