    Peter Rawlinson Tech Talk

    I haven’t seen this posted here, so I thought I would share it. Fascinating presentation by Peter on EV design/engineering for efficiency. What a refreshing contrast to see a CEO who clearly knows his craft and is clearly engaged and excited by the technological challenges and the solutions he...

    Seattle Area PPF Installers

    I've had partial wraps of STEK on Teslas done by Metropolitan Detail, and they do a magnificent job - truly spotless, no bumps, edges well concealed. But they are kinda pricey.

    No-drill front license plate?

    They applied my '19 Tesla Model S front plates with double sided 3M tape (over Stek Dynoshield PPF) and it has worked fine. It start to detach once and I had to replace with fresh tape, but it's a decent alternative to drilling holes.

    What is the best Tesla Adapter?

    Yes, I visited our local Lucid Studio this week to ask some questions (I have an Air GT on order, but a ways out due to the Stealth option) and asked about using a Tesla home charger with an adapter. I was told quite ‘firmly’ that using any Tesla charger with any adapter would immediately void...
