True, but pull through stalls, like practically every gas station in the western hemisphere, make pulling away easy in either direction.

NACS yes, rear left corner not so much. The only reason location is ever important is because of Tesla's insistence on early chargers to deploy very short cords. For V3 and V4 units the cords are long enough to accommodate other locations. Also, EA, EVGo, iONNA, and Walmart have cords for both...

Just wondering if your '22 Air GT has the CCCv2 upgrade. I have ridden in but not driven Gravity so I don't have a comparison. The blind zone cameras on my CCCv2 '23 Air GT seem to appear very quickly. To the point that I don't really think about it. Maybe that's one of the improvements that...

I've had mostly good experiences with EA. The biggest issues that I can recall is that in really cold weather (single digit F) they charge REALLY slow. I'm talking 30 - 60 kW. But I've not tried other DCFC in the same conditions so I don't have a point of comparison. We'll see what this upcoming...

Both of these things are true. This one may be more tempting due to the lower miles, but the specter of out of warranty repairs is non-trivial.

I'd hit that

I am definitely a sports car guy. Just sold this one a few days ago. The most fun to drive of all my cars, but I'm running out of space for toys. I'd been keeping this parked in my neighbor's garage the last few years.

That's purty

I'm speaking specifically of Southern California and the metropolitan Toronto area where I've seen what I'm about to describe multiple times. During the poorly named "rush hours" the HOV lanes are often the only lanes moving at anything close to the speed limit. The other lanes are...

For the sake of accuracy...you CAN service the car. You CANNOT rebuild from salvage. There's a significant difference. I've done both with other cars.

If you are talking about Tesla FSD I can say first hand that it has improved over the past year, year and a half to where it is hands down the best ADAS application available. Period. End of sentence. End of paragraph. Even though it is camera only, it does an amazing job of navigating address...

Lucid held an Owners Club event ahead of Saturday's Cars at the Station in Detroit. That was the first time I'd seen the trifold. When I tried it I immediately went into Gollum mode (IYKYK). Very easy one handed operation and it stays in place when folded back. I use my frunk a lot. My gym bag...

Not really possible to say without seeing how bad it is or isn't. Pictures can help. I have had wheels on several cars repaired by a qualified tire and wheel specialist. You can also consider doing a complete refinish on your wheels. Powder coating can hide a number of sins and give you a new...

Welcome to the forum! It's within the range of normal. So many things impact actual range. Speed. Headwinds / tailwinds. Tire inflation. Amount of the drive that is on an incline vs downward slope. Ambient temperature. The EPA range is a comparative suggestion at best.

When searching for my car (‘23 AGT) I came across a few ‘23 AGT that had aluminum roof. I think that somewhere in the model year they started peeling off some of the content in order to offer cars at a lower price point. I also high;y recommend trying to find out the in service date to see if...
