    Unlock after charging

    I just found out that I can now program the EQS to unlock the cable after the home charging is finished. It's a nice touch and would be on my wish list for the Lucid app.

    RESOLVED Help needed for Navigation problem

    Since most of my wife's driving was local, we didn't use the navigation until 4 months ago. That's when we noticed that the thing simply did not work. It would be spinning around or showed a location miles away. This was posted here in early August. SC then changed a harness in the trunk and...

    EA on Hayden is open - Az

    EA on Hayden is now open. 4 stations, all 150 kW. This morning, at 64% SoC, I pulled in 87 kW -- no sharing. The Taycan on a next charger got 102kW at 80% SoC. This is new but the cables look well used. The location is better than Bell for sure.

    Got a nail in the tire

    Got a nail in the rear tire. Pressure dropped by 10 psi. DT is about 10 miles away. Was thinking of pumping it up to normal, drive a couple of miles, and pump more air in, and repeat the sequence until destination. In terms of the air leak, any difference between hwy speed vs. city speed which...

    The Nouvelle Batterie Club

    Don't know who the founder was, but today I got word that I'll join this club because my car will need a new HV battery, and possibly a Wunderbox and harness. The car has been at SC for the last week due to a non-functioning Nav. A code for the HV battery was also found, leading to the...

    Generator

    Been thinking about getting a back-up generator. I remember reading a recommendation on the forum about a year ago, but can't find the post now. Would appreciate any inputs. TIA.

    Defensive driving course

    Has anyone taken a defensive driving course to reduce insurance premium? GEICO, AAA, and ARRP are the ones I've found on-line. Wondering if they're all the same, just different pricing.

    12 V vs. 48 V

    Just came across this interesting article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/tesla-kills-12-volt-car-systems-goes-to-48-volt-but-will-industry-follow/ar-AA187qeL?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=4f7c4ae334cc46eb9c0c768801963f6d&ei=11

    Changing the fob battery

    In the last week, twice I've seen the message key not detected so I figured I should change the battery. For this fob, a new battery was put in by SC the end of December and tonight it measured 2.8 volts. I used a small flat screwdriver to pry open the cover. I put the cover back on by sliding...

    Unintended consequences of software updates

    Probably a very dumb question to ask, but here it is: when building a new pc, my understanding is that it’s better, and cleaner, to grab the latest version off MS site vs. using Windows version 1 and then applying the updates, to avoid corrupted files, registry problems, etc. Assuming that the...

    21 inch tires and t < 40F

    Have you driven your car with 21-inch tires when the temp falls below 40F? As I understand, these summer tires may crack at this temp. Have you noticed any issues?

    EQS "James Bond" option

    The attached picture was posted couple weeks ago on the MB forum. Apparently, the large sunroof self-exploded and dealer said they'd seen this happen a number of times in cars with large sunroof. As far as I know, no such thing has been reported with the Air's glass canopy.

    Mechanical vs. Regenerative Brake

    I'm curious about the interactions between the traditional brake and the regenerative. Are they additive or does activation of the mechanical brake disengage the regen?

    ABRP

    It'd be nice if A Better Route Planner can include info on the status of the chargers. Or maybe I just don't know how to locate this on ABRP website. For now, I have to toggle between ABRP and PlugShare and make my own spreadsheet. And then input the addresses into Waze. Kind of tedious, but...

    Charging in the rain

    I've not had to do this yet, but I imagine it's a bit of an inconvenience. Anyone has any concern about rain getting into the port? I see some magnetic gadgets on Ebay to cover the port, but, of course, this wouldn't work because the panel is not metal. Any trick, tip, or innovation?

    ChargePoint et al

    Wondering what the best/common practice is for contingency plan when EA fails on trips. Do you install an app for non-EA on your phone? How may apps and which one(s) do you recommend?

    USB portable player

    Assuming that one day, one can plug in a portable player using the USB port in the Air, which player would you recommend? Which car have you used it in? Personally, I wouldn’t have any problem with an actual CD player, but that’s so antiquated and not too many new cars (maybe none) come equipped...
