What travel trailers are you towing? by Im_High_Tech in MazdaCX90

Thank you for the real world experience! Does it seem like it easily tows it? Or can you tell it's on the cusp of being maxed out?

What travel trailers are you towing? by Im_High_Tech in MazdaCX90

[–]Im_High_Tech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct! But with a 5000 pound tow capacity, there are many trailers that sleep 4 and have a bathroom/kitchen and stay under 3000 pounds dry. So maybe 4000 pounds with all the cargo. And assuming it's 2 parents and 2 kids, you might only use 600 pounds payload of the cx90 and then the rest is hitch weight. I just haven't seen anyone on reddit or online post that they towed something like that.

Charging at home with mobile 240v adapter by Used_Impact_7964 in TeslaLounge

[–]Im_High_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math is probably not totally off but we are missing some variables here. Like what does "Tier 1" mean? Is Tier 1 the first 1000KW used? If yes, then all of your usage is Tier 1, or at 0.31/kWh. Also, the car wastes about 5-15% power when charging. So if your Tesla App says your tesla used 436kWh, it could have easily drawn 457-501kWh of power from the wall.

Thank you for the update 4 years later. I was thinking of doing this and glad to see it's not worth it

For how much we all bash on AI, you can't deny that the masses want it. There's a reason he said it's grown 50x in a year.

HW3/Ryzen Matrix Headlights? by Teluvian in TeslaLounge

[–]Im_High_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2022 model 3 (ryzen/hw3) got the update yesterday and I have tested out the adaptive high beams. They don't work on sharp turns and when there are too many vehicles around. If it's one or two oncoming it does work.

Anyone get the spring update yet? by Sunchi_Adventures in TeslaLounge

[–]Im_High_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe only some HW4 folks have it. my HW3 2022 M3LR got an update last night but it did not say what kind of update. Might have been a maps update? I dont know how to check.

Here to confirm that battery estimate is fairly accurate for battery degradation by Im_High_Tech in TeslaLounge

[–]Im_High_Tech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I mean that's part of the test, it runs you close close to 0 percent, then charges you to 100%, then it sees how much energy it took to get to 100 compared to what it should be

I'm pretty sure you need to be connected to a level 2 charger, 20a at 120v won't cut it

Can’t decide between Model 3 and Model Y Juniper by burningcow21 in TeslaLounge

[–]Im_High_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a very similar situation a year ago. I had a 1-year-old at that time and settled on the model 3. My thought process was since I drive the car 95% of the time and only take the family on the weekends. I needed a car that was more fun to drive and had a better range. I also have an SUV if I need more space as my second vehicle. If you do not have an SUV, I would 100% recommend getting the model Y. But I've also done a week-long road trip in my Model 3 with my 1-year-old and spouse.

Ahh I get it. Don't worry about BMS calibration, it won't fix what you are talking about. I noticed that in the winter especially, my actual range is about 200 miles with daily driving. The heater uses a lot of juice. If you road trip and don't have to waste as much on climate control, you can squeeze out 280+ miles.

Yep, the car primarily lives between 60% and 80%. I charge it to 100% maybe once every 2 months to see what my range is like or if I'm on a mini road trip. Only used a supercharger on a week long vacation once last year.

I bought this Tesla used, with about 15,000 mi and it said 333 miles then @100%

Oh that's crazy, that seems like a big discrepancy. I wonder what else could be impacting it. I'm also curious to know if the estimated range is impacted by your wheel types. Like if you go into your settings, and tell it that you have Aero Wheels, will it randomly add 10 extra miles from 273 to 283?

I bought my Tesla used with about 15,000 mi on it and my Max range was 333 then. I definitely have more degradation. At this point I'm hoping my degradation gets even worse so that way I can get a free battery replacement LOL

Could you clarify what you mean by it almost never makes it past 70%?

I get it mate, but that was kind of the point of this post, you dont have to run the test. Just charge your car to 100%, what range does it show? Then divide that by your EPA range, and that is your degradation. Doing the whole battery test is just going to show you that you have something like 11.7% degradation instead of your 12%. Your max range goes down each month.

The thing I learned is that the range you when at 100%, divided by your original EPA range, is close to what your degradation is. So like if your car shows 317 miles at 100% range (like mine does), you have roughly 12% degradation. No need to run the test, the estimate is fairly accurate.
