I had a Tesla Model 3 for 4 years, (2020) it was RWD and the brakes went 50K and looked like I had never used them, the benefits of the regen still increase brake life a ton even with RWD. I had 2 FWD EV's and the manners on long steep downhill grades were a bit odd.. For EV I prefer the RWD...

The NAV on the model Y knows every tesla charger in the world, Plug share can locate most CCS style chargers.. This was a solvable problem... Not to say there are not still states without big charging presence... And NO we don't want to be any where near gas stations, electrical sparks and...

Go on one road trip after you have had the car for a month or so, all the anxiety will be gone there ar multiple apps for phones to find the chargers, and if it comes with CCS/J1712 just buy a tesla charger adapter.. youll be fine.. I did Portland Oregon to Houston TX last summer and never had...

OUr Bolt starts honking till you come and get the keys. Its probly a setting but since I seldom drive it it keeps me from leaving them in a unlocked car.. LOL

Not likely, most consoles only allow 1 pairing to 1 vin number, in any case most of this is going to be dealer only ,,, and then you need to find one with a Bolt specialist.. Many Chevy and GMC dealers don't have one. In my town only one of ht e3 GM dealers can do anything with a Bolt.

Yep. Thats where its weird, it seems like most original tires are actually not as efficient as tires you can buy after market. The DWS has given me better performance on not just EV's but other ICE cars. I had a 330XI BWM and the DWS made it like a snowmobile in winter weather. Just amazing...

I've always found light blue stays the coolest of the cars I've owned, Maybe a old school sky blue upper and white sides with more blue on the rocker panels, like the Ford F series back in the 70's.. Light green was the worst on 1 car..

I wonder if bedliner would adhere to the plastic, Guy could use one of the newerr thin glossy versions and it would just have some texture.. Plenty of jeeps have done it, And its easy to touch up..

There arestill massive parts of the US where there is no internet on phones, and someareas where the mountains just make it a no go.. But its not rocket science to go on the website for Crutchfield and just order a single din stereo and speakers and have exactly what you want.. Mild to wild..

Ever notice how long a tire shop takes to get the "locking" lugs off? Its minutes,, I used to get stuck removing them when I warked at a garage.. Note I am not going to post how.. I could do all 4 wheels in < 10 minutes..

My regular car policy has a gap upgrade for like 100 bucks a year.. (USAA) 4 cars.

Esthetically yes.. But this is a low output vehicle, 200HP aint much and at least on my Tesla, 18 vs 20 inch wheels the 18's win substantially... Having more sidewall for whatever reason lets the car roll forward easier. And its not like I'm lacking HP on the thing.. Don't need to go narrow as...

I predict the aftermarket suspension companies will be the winner on the lift and OHV style mods. Slate provides the platform and aftermarket fills in the niche stuff thats not practical for a manufacturer to make in volume. Other than for style,, with the first gen wide tires will just kill...

Several companies around Portland have parking lot solar arrays to charge EV's Very large setups, still take all day to get a significant charge.. Couple of them are free for employees. I think long term this is where the tech needs to go.. just for practicality and convenience.

The liability level your jousting with is epic, Insurance companies check for stuff like this, imagine having a house fire and by saving a couple hundred bucks you get your insurance cancelled on claim for illegal electrical mods..

There are several Tesla road warriors Beyond 500K Miles, couple of them have never used anything but a supercharger.. All are above 95% on the battery Live, There is one guy that has 1 million miles on his Tesla and its on its second battery that was put in at about 55K miles.. (I think I got...
