I just took my car in for new tires today. The 4S’s. I got a bit over 36k miles off them in two years. Rode them all year around, road trips and one trip to the track (limited speed was imposed there tho). I was extremely shocked they lasted as long as they did, but they held up very well...
Outside of the non-EV crowd, nothing really. Even the non-EV crowd tend to just like the cool looking car and then get shocked to find out it’s electric but most are too impressed to start to insult at that point. I know the feeling of the attention in rough areas as most EA chargers in the US...
Had to have my windshield replaced due to rock chip creating a crack that spread across half the windshield. Wasn’t bad at all. Insurance covered the cost (minus the deductible) and went thru local Safelite. They had the OEM windshield in stock, we just had to verify they had the correct...
Already pre-purchased! I like the way this works, especially with the auto download to cloud after you get home and on your Wi-Fi or if you have the service, to upload it to cloud on the go. I’ve wanted that feature for a long while. Also, you don’t have to purchase the subscription but $60 a...
I get and agree with all you are saying. Very good points. I personally tho think we should not arrive at a charger with no range left to hit a backup. I dont stop for gas when my tank is on E on a road trip, i stop at a 1/4 tank. I plan my road trips in my Taycan to give me range to hit another...
Kyle is a real smart guy, but sometimes, he really makes drama more where it’s just not justified. The EA stations aren’t working at his location, ok, it is what it is. Doesnt mean they cant go somewhere else or go home/hotel and charge if they had to.
Thanks for the report. I’ve done that stretch many times, but not in weather this cold. Great info. I think for weather like this I’d stick to a gas vehicle for long road trips until the infrastructure is much more robust, especially in the south. That cold hitting the range really hard in the...
I can understand not wanting to bother to educate people, it’s not any of our responsibility to do so. I personally would rather try something than nothing. Complaining in here definitely wont get anything resolved out there.
As for the price change, that is a really good idea that Tesla...
What they (at least i believe they are) saying is that if you dont need to charge to 100%, dont do it. If you absolutely need all that range, then you do what you have to. it just takes an extraordinarily long time to get that last 5%-10% charge. 20-30 mins to get to 80-85% and it could take an...
Unfortunately, you will see this, but for some good news, the updated EA stations are SUPPOSED to be moving towards all stations being 350kw and just letting the cars get whatever rate they can. We’ll see how that rolls out. In the mean time, all you can do is ask/inform the drivers at the 350...
Yes, some of those are known issues but you definitely got a lemon. I would take that one in and lemon law it. That is unacceptable for any car. If mine did that, i would have long ago parted with it. You also have a really crappy dealer/service department. I would go to another shop from now...
