Good to know, thanks.

I reread this a couple of times, and I'm still not sure I get your meaning. The Rubicon was the river that Julius Caesar crossed when he attacked Rome. He was committed once he crossed it with his army, since that action itself was treasonous. So once he did that there was no turning back...

I had to re-enter my mobile key (iPhone 13) after the update. Now I have two Bluetooth connections: one that works with Apple CarPlay, and the other to open the car when I get near. It seems to work OK, but not as well as before the update. Any thoughts?

Beautiful car!

Wait, those aero covers in the photo were part of the deal?

OK, here's what we know so far: according to Tesla, you shouldn't powder-coat factory wheels. To your credit, you're rolling in style with some Vossen hybrid-forged 20's. But the powder-coated ones you use as spares and are selling are factory wheels? I must say I'm starting to get concerned...

Just remember that while the air resistance increases with the square of your speed, the power required (to overcome it) increases with the CUBE of speed. Yikes!

Unless there's an inversion, the temperature will fall at roughly 3° per 1,000 feet. So that will mitigate the decrease in air density. Still, your point that altitude matters is a good one. One of the nice things about electric motors is that output does not vary with air density, unlike ICEs.

Uh oh. I just read the following in the Tesla forum: I'll chime in with the counter to this recommendation to powder coat the wheels: do NOT powder coat the factory wheels. There are several reasons: it adds more weight than you realize (especially considering it's unsprung weight), it can add...

Unfortunately, I'm in Massachusetts. But let me say that those powder-coated wheels of yours look real nice!

Word has it that powder coating your wheels can double their value, or more!

Thanks for that. I'll call my guy first thing Monday!

Are these still available? They're exactly what I'm looking for...

That would be a large upgrade over my 3 Powerwalls, which aggregate to only 40kwh.

Well, Fidelity is no longer lending my shares. It was fun while it lasted!

For those of us with Teslas and Lucids, the Tesla Universal Wall Charger is a great choice. Mine works flawlessly and handles scheduled charging well. I schedule charging from 9:00 to 2:00, to take advantage of excess output from my solar array...

As a pilot, I disagree. For a person under stress and under the influence of alcohol, 60 seconds is no time at all.

Logged out and logged back in... it worked!

Good point, I hadn't considered that!

I did exactly the same thing. Going old school is much more convenient.
