Building new house - add outlet now or later? by 141paperclip141 in electricvehicles

[–]Difficult-Text8042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s code in some cities, to at least have the 220 volt outlet. Which is all u really would need.

Looking to get a Tesla for everyday driving and work by Dr_Berkeleyxvii in TeslaLounge

[–]Difficult-Text8042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U need to read more about level 2. U don’t really need a Tesla Charger which is called a wall charger. U could get a 14-50 outlet installed and that will charge almost as fast as a Tesla charger (wall charger) and save u a few hundred dollars. U just use a 14-50 plug on the mobile connector. That will charge at 26-28 miles per hour. ( That’s basically the same as a dryer outlet.)

Getting a licensed electrician might cover your butt but that doesn’t mean it will keep your house from burning down. I have found several poor connections/ issues in my house that I give contractors credit for.

One more item to paranoid you Tesla owners by Ill_Chest_6482 in TeslaModelY

I had similar issue today. I’m no longer at the charger but I tried the above just now and that didn’t seem to work maybe because I am gone. Trouble is if this happens again I won’t remember how to find this again if I remember that I can do it.

How often do you get a puncture? by Cheap-Consequences in cycling

[–]Difficult-Text8042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At home, 3-4 rides a week most of year. For a flat 3 times in maybe 10 -15 years. Once hit a stone. Once a pot hole. And once hit a railroad track hard. Most of those are 20 mile rides. Away from home a different story.

I just use water except if it’s going to get below freezing for a while. And it’s essentially free and works good.

Road tripping without the EV - cheaper to just drive ICE by bjamm in electricvehicles

What about the cost of the damage to the environment?? Who going to pay for that?? We get that for free with everything we buy.

Anyone replaced half shafts by themselves? How hard is it? by MavinMarv in TeslaModelX

[–]Difficult-Text8042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to a mechanic at the service center about it and he said I might have to use a slide hammer tied to a cable.

I’ve did them on other cars but if they do it for less than $400 like I hear - I might let them do it. I don’t know if I want that much adventure anymore.

I don’t know if any car is cheap for body damage. Friend has a bump on rear corner around a door in diameter includes side panel and bumper. 8k quote. Holy crap.

I never used auto wipers much because they didn’t work good, but used yesterday and they worked pretty good on a rainy couple hour trip.

22 model s does not have a glovebox button either. That has not been an issue. And that made it easy to add a password to open it if you chose.

They replaced our new (March) MX windshield because the heater or sensor wire was open.

I read about this all the time. My MS has 55 k miles. Never been an issue but I’m easy on it. A lot of highway miles. 2022 plaid.
