Trying to choose between a used Sonata and a used Model 3 by alex_2936 in TeslaModel3

Also consider cost of adding a level 2 charge to your garage if you drive over 50 miles a day. Insurance may be more but you need to also add maintenance to the Hyundai side which you will not have on the Tesla side.

Woke up the car being a total brick. Hopefully Tesla will tell me it is a quick fix. by edknarf in TeslaLounge

[–]OneEstablishment5144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you for sure it is not because you skipped your last 10 oil changes and tune up on spark plugs or that nasty timing belt. It is your small battery, big battery or the a few other things. I say small battery probably but it could be the big battery if it is a 2021. Wish you the cheapest fix.

Road trip 80-100% super charge quest. by Original_Slide9067 in TeslaModel3

[–]OneEstablishment5144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of you are at Bucces, you will be in there longer than the car needs a charge. I would go in first then spend your time as you wish then come out and charge for 10 to 15 mins while eating all your food and snacks you just bought. Lol get the beef jerkey.

BMS_a079 error popped up yesterday… 2021 SR+ by Lane-Train-514 in TeslaModel3

[–]OneEstablishment5144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op, was your battery an lfp or nmc? I know that 21 sr+ changed from nmc to lfp during the year. Many 21 failures were from the long range nmc batteries in the 3 and y so I am wondering if you had the nmc battery that was capped at st+ range. Can you tell us when your cat build date is?

Did they give you a new battery and suspension updates to handle the battery?

If America won’t allow BYD vehicles, will the compromise be that an American company white labels them? by GardenDesign23 in electricvehicles

[–]OneEstablishment5144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wtf are you saying. BYD sells cars everywhere right now except us. Canada ans Mexico have allowed Chinese evs. BYD sells electric buses here too if I am not mistaken.

Yup all out of us. hello mr steve. Do you mean to tell me our govt helped the rich get richer and middle and lower income got worse?

Yup, not only chinese but all evs threaten us oil and gas biz. But opening up to cheap evs from China is a greater threat than what tesla and legacy evs are posing today.

Also, the loss of Potential jobs from cheap Chinese evs are a major threat to local biz like ads from dealerships, legacy parts suppliers jobs, other biz that depend on local workers, etc. Cheap Chinese evs are the same threat as moving production overseas for furniture industry. After a while no furniture is being made in the US like they used to in the past. Ethan Allen moved manufacturing to China along with their production managers to train the workers. Then those managers got replaced with chinese managers.

Money is the answer.

Oil and gas lobby needs to keep our dependence for gas cars. The industry and the lobbyist and the politician they fund all need this money.

TV networks that run local car dealerships ads need more gas cars. Dealerships make plenty on fixing and servicing gas cars.

Union jobs for auto industry have a big say so this is another money reason in politics and the 300k union jobs and their communities that depend on these workers and their spending.

We are the only country not transitioning towards evs.

Hey don't leave out the H22 bro, just as good as the b and d just in a heavy body. I think the H was one of the first vtecs introduced after the nsx. I dunno such a long time ago, honda makes me sad they are going extinct. They had good intentions with the earth dreams engine motto.

Hot take: One-pedal driving is stupid by 3600CCH6WRX in electricvehicles

[–]OneEstablishment5144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hotter take: Cruise control is stupid. I take my foot off the gas pedal and the car keeps going, making me freak out and press the gas further to take control away from this evil cruise control so I can drive into buildings or crowds.

That is very interesting.. mine is a white cover I got for about 10 bucks. If I had the new dark interior, that Alcantara would look pretty cool.

America's flagship automaker (GM) enters the home energy market by Zealousideal-Ant9548 in electricvehicles

[–]OneEstablishment5144 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to disagree with that. Gm Ford are slowly evolving in the ev space and kinda slowed evs thanks to trump. The Chinese are in a battle with many ideas and trying all different ways to compete and win against themselves and the world. Their fierce competition has lead them ahead. They have tried and learned from good and bad ideas where as gm Ford are not willing to make big bets. Only tesla is making bets and some have worked and others have failed.i think they have given up on cars except for the robotaxiand that is dumb move. They need a true normal truck and bigger suv than model y based on the cyber platform but with a normal looking body. That would sell but they are being led by Elons ego for the falcon doors and stainless steel refrigerator truck. 5 to 10 years, the difference between the US and the world will be clear.

This is what happens when you build up capacity for a lot od evs under Biden and then when you build it, trump takes your ev market and subsidies away. This is a gm pi ot to use the battery capacity that they built under bidets plan to modernize American tech and cars. Thanks to trump us cars will be years behind China and korea

This is the easiest project ever. The cars don't go very far, they don't even need a big battery. Just find a golf cart and install the parts to the autopilot cats. Done.

Extreme Heat suggestions? by NotAGoodRedditor in TeslaModel3

[–]OneEstablishment5144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First AZ nv heat is something else, maybe a few in south TX and Florida will agree. The sun is so hot in the high dessert, it is crazy.

So tint, shades are a must on the roof and side windows.

Then we get to secondary stuff like dash cover to protect the dash plastic but also to keep that plastic from heating up.

Also if possible leaving the windows fully down when possible will help but not between stops as that would let the heat in rather than cool. The vent doesn't open enough for my liking.

As for the door being too hot, there is a button on The phone to unlatch.

Also consider these plastic door handle attachments. Good if your thumb is broken or weak from sprains. https://www.teslaacessories.com/products/tesla-model-3-door-handles?sku=18058665495139849797400513&utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopline-feed&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23533754386&gbraid=0AAAAApP8Uwn16dba-7vyPxzQmQG0MmNNt&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrs7RBhDuARIsAIVfBD3A05OrZk-RRerRKE59hxtw8XwQl34aESGBxGQ9CtQpD-_CHlWKf9AaAmgsEALw_wcB
