    Road Tripping on EVs and Gas-based Cars, A Perspective.

    In early January I rented a Model Y LR and drove from Santa Rosa to Las Vegas and Death Valley. No problem charging (Superchargers) except at Death Valley. The Inn at Furnace Creek has two Level 2 chargers, but both were/are INOP. The Ranch at Furnace Creek has four Level 2 chargers, but 2...

    Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective

    Fair enough. 1) The article consists of talking with specific owners about specific problems, and the owners blame Tesla. That happens with every car company, and we know that sometimes it's the owner's fault, and sometimes not. Remember the sudden acceleration issues? It turns out the...

    Tesla blamed drivers for failures of parts it long knew were defective

    I read the Reuters story as just another biased hit piece. Sorry, but I've seen too much media malpractice to take this seriously.

    FEATURE Introducing RangeXChange V2V charging for Lucid

    Just to be clear, this is just one-way charging, right? IOW, I can't use this to charge my Lucid from my Tesla.

    Vehicle to Home

    We have a similar setup here in Massachusetts: 18kw solar array, 3 Powerwalls. But I find that I'm SOL if we lose power in the winter for more than 36 hours. You guys in San Diego are probably fine indefinitely! A solar array doesn't make economic sense up here in the Northeast without the...

    Winter Tire PSI

    Here's what I do in the winter: I want my Pirelli 19" tires to be at the recommended 49 psi when it's 32° outside. My garage tends to be around 50°. So I inflate my tires to 51 psi in the garage. Easy rule of thumb, huh? If it's 10° or 20° outside, I'll live with the slight underinflation...

    Winter Tire PSI

    No, just keep it at the recommended 42 psi. My point was that in cold weather you'll need to add air to maintain 42 psi.

    Winter Tire PSI

    This protocol is incorrect. The tires should be inflated to 49 when cold, i.e. when sitting outside. After some freeway driving, they should be well above 50 psi. I add air as the weather gets cold, since psi drops with temperature: very roughly, about 1 psi per 10°.

    Vehicle to Home

    I have three Powerwalls that have worked well for short power outages. We absolutely had to get utility authorization for the solar array/Powerwall installation, and it took a while IIRC. But perhaps rather than get another utility authorization to feed current from the Lucid into the main...

    I wish Tesla would come out with this, what with FUSC on my MSLR.
