Thank you!

So I’m curious now. Did you order the size larger as suggested or your normal size. I dont want to be swallowed by an XL if I dont have to. (6’1” 220 not athletic 😅) Thanks!

I have purchased 3 EVs in Texas. None of them required any ridiculous fees. we do have a 6.25% sales tax on vehicle purchases, new or used, that would prevent getting plates. that being said Texas has added a $200 EV registration fee along with normal registration fees usually about $76 so $276...

Think what you want to think, but the reasons I explained are valid for current automotive heat pumps. i welcome you to remove the additional plumbing and weight designed into your vehicle And see how it goes for you.

So the numnuts pedal and not the idiot pedal. 😁

Yes you just have to break that long habit of fully lifting your foot. The only difficulty is at full charge when regen is less.

As long as there is a brake pedal there is a 2PD option, there is just no option to turn off regen. All brake modulation is done with the electron pedal (accelerator). it is of course a learned movement as you discovered and might be difficult with only a test drive. most ICE drivers get...

I’m a 1 pedal guy Since 2017. the left pedal is now named the idiot pedal because I only have to use it if myself or another driver is being an idiot.

Wow. That picture looks really familiar to me. i ended that in 2019 with the purchase of a Model 3 and 2024 with a CT and Model Y. replaced both my J1772 wall connectors in 2019.

I agree with all your statements except “ a few thousand more in price is only $10 a month.” maybe on a home lone…I have never seen a 100, 200 or 300 month car loan.

I am glad that others are starting to install the NACS connector on their charging stations. I have owned CHAdeMO, J1772, CCS1 and NACS. The NACS has always been the most seamless experience. it would have been great if other manufactures had swallowed their hate for Tesla and decided to invest...

Elon has stated several times that anyone is welcome use the Tesla designed connector and charging stations as long as they played by his rules. Long before it was considered the North American Charging Standard. Other manufactures at the time just did not want to work with the new guy. The only...

Yes the Slate uses the NACS standard which is Teslas chargers.

There is a small display that will indicate speed, PRND possibly in small letters or only when changing direction or parking. The backup camera will also display on the small screen. Not unlike the microscopic backup screens ford used in the transits and focus/fiesta models. the display, though...

Lock, unlock, Frunk open, remote start, hold (panic-horn) EV. No transmission to lock.

Not strange at all. I own 2 EVs. 1 heat pump 1 resistive. Fast charging is the first example. charging in winter runs the ac to cool the battery while heat runs inside. Warming batteries before charging while driving using the ac in summer Is another. many examples exist. Some makers have even...

The problem comes in when they need to use the ac to cool the battery While also heating the cabin. Requires a lot of plumbing switching which gets complicated and expensive.

thanks! I have been drafting a response very similar but it’s a busy morning. Keep in mind not everyone that buys an EV gets the full credit or possibly none at all depending on their personal tax liability. also fuel is a commodity subject to the whims of the market. The end user will never...

Seats forward. Head at tailgate. Should have about 6’5” give or take. feet will be hanging in the open though. Stuff it with some pillows.

Yes, very important point. I carry my iphone and iPad everywhere As my eyes are not what they used to be……. I have had the heat warnings when I leave the iPad in the seat. The dash would be much worse. May have to work out a bracket that works with the cover on the iPad.
