they added a software feature for 1-pedal driving to supplement with friction brakes recently so the behavior is more consistent when SOC is high, battery temp is low, etc or other conditions when regen power is limited. only a month or two ago, but its a nice adder, especially for me who...

Yeah well if they can’t do the deal, as much as I want it to happen it’s not happening. Rivian and lucid on the other hand are emailing customers offering them to make $100 of their deposit binding in order preserve the transition rule eligibility before bill is signed for the next ~16 months...

i asked my SA if i could convert my refundable deposit from jan 2022 for a GTS ST to a binding contract. he said sorry, we cant enter a contract unless the vehicle has been invoiced.

in california all HOV CAV stickers expire at the end of 2024. of course unless they change the legislation. so might as well order them....

unlikely, but at least the PPF will make it easier!

i would not try. i had a magnet on my tesla and the random vibration, flexing, etc caused a dull spot underneath when i took it off, despite it being brand new and clean. the taycan has a mixed-material body, so some panels are steel and some are aluminum. i was looking at the PPF amazon...

question for those of you who have done the PPF underlayment for the HOV decals - any issues with peeling? i do touchless foam cannon and pressure wash rinse at home weekly, and am worried about blasting the PPF edges and decals falling off. i like the idea of the PPF underneath as i scratched...

electrek has a good summary of whats in the bill. https://electrek.co/2022/07/27/senate-moves-forward-ev-tax-credit-reform-tesla-tsla/ the "transition rule" implies if you have a signed binding contract before the bill is signed by the president, but take delivery in 2023, then it still can...

looks like its for vehicles placed in service after december 31, 2022. but its all legalese to me... the transition period is the most confusing, if anyone could help clarify, it would be great! my car is between the port and the dealership, seems like i should go fast just in case EV credit...

mine also disappeared! i bet it means something is happening....

no it doesnt. i think after shipping a lot of product they probably realized the sell-in rate of the charger upgrade, and the added complexity and cost to the base version was not worth it and that a single size was better for their product. i do believe that charging should be measured in...

ironically i will likely upgrade from NEMA 14-50 to tesla wall connector. use a tesla tap adapter to charge the taycan. then both cars will charge at 48A, instead of 32A on tesla (mobile connector limt) and 40A on taycan (PMCC/NEMA 14-50 limit). its only $400!

ah got it, so would need 150A total free breaker capacity. makes sense. could always install PWCC with a 60A if panel limited. are the dip switches or other user settings on the PWCC to de-rate the max available current?

@daveo4EV how does PWCC charge at 48A via NEMA 14-50? seems like a code violation. this is my 4th EV, and while i agree no one ever complained about faster charging, i still think its a salient point that i downgraded from 11.7 kW to 7.7 kW a few years back during a renovation (hardwired to...

agree on the diversity of opinion, and what i meant by mixed bag. and i'm not saying you are wrong with your individual choice. i literally lead with "IMO". but its not much of a debate when you disagree by saying: "Nope" or "i reject..." and then there is no follow on statement. i'm...

I think Tesla knows EVs better than Porsche. Their AC charger used to be 9.6 kW with an option for dual, which put the charge power at 19.2 kW. Their latest gen of onboard chargers for all vehicles tops out at 48A so 11.7 kW with 100 kWh battery. They dropped max ac current from 80A to 48A from...

I really hope your cat doesn’t get a UTI more than once a year…. ;)

well my taycan is still on a boat… but I rented a RWD with similar options last week. The taycan is way better all around, except for the zip. But on public roads it doesn’t really matter. My 6yo loves the “driving games” on the Tesla. I’m keeping it as a nanny car

Replace “real” with “practical”. I outlined the one scenario I am aware of that it could be useful, which I’d expect to happen once a year +/- . and if you need to you are probably close to a fast charger. I’d love to hear a good use case for the 19.2 kw instead of just poking at my word...

Btw I plan on keeping the nema 14-50 and using the PMCC for both taycan and Tesla, alternating nights which is plugged in.
