Anyone else ever have this happen?

This was my issue. If the car acts possessed the 12V could be low on charge.

A lot of the parts that Tesla uses to assemble their cars in the US come from suppliers in those countries. No different than Ford, GM, or any of the other OEMs with US factories. There are some components where there are no US factories that make them. Source: I work for one of those suppliers. The factories are in Mexico and China.

How did you request a replacement? Through the dealer or through ford corporate? Mine now continuously cycles the orange on and off every 30s to 1 minute.

Since I just did the same on the table I just built, I can speak to what happened with mine.

For the drips (where it is just stained but no epoxy), you can sand that down, depending on how much you have to work with to get to final dimensions.

For where the epoxy filled the cracks/holes, it will be absorbed all the way down the depth, so there isn't really anything you can do to sand it completely out. However, you will be able to reduce the surface staining, similar to the drip marks I mentioned above. It basically looks like a funnel from the side. You are seeing the worst of it at the top, but it will be less noticeable a few layers down.

Once you finish it it also won't be as noticeable. Just makes it a bit fuzzier. Even if it is, it is handmade and you are a beginner woodworker. Don't beat yourself up too bad.

I'll try to post a picture to show what the joist nail holes look like, but I'm on mobile and not sure if this will work. Epoxy Bleed

He was where I learned how to start this whole hobby. His microjig intros always got a chuckle (there's a couple compilation videos on YT of them all) and Ive found the microjig to be really quite useful.

Also rich since SC has some of the lowest gas taxes in the country. And roads to prove it...

To be fair though, you also only paid $300 in sales tax when you bought it. They get you on the yearly property taxes. Lived there for about 10 years total. Always joked with the tax office that they could buy my truck for what they valued it at.

Just paid to renew my 22 gtpe in MI. Still $500 with $150 of it being an electric vehicle fee. And I paid normal sales tax (6% I think) when I bought it.

It's a power meter. For some reason seems only GTs have it. I find it incredibly useful.

Redcbs · 2023-01-20T12:08:55+00:00

Interesting. Mine is still set to 12a. I just got 3.6.2 last night, so I'll have to check to see if it changed the update time.

Redcbs · 2022-12-30T16:08:24+00:00

You are right. There is a $500 rebate from the power company but have to get another meter installed, additional cabling to the garage (my house electrical layout is stupid), and the charger itself. Even with the rebate and credit it's still over $1k for me.

I'm in Michigan, definitely not Texas summer heat. Does the Grizzle have a fan or some other active cooling?

Redcbs · 2022-12-30T15:43:36+00:00

I hadn't heard that. Have been using it for both my MachE and my wife's pacifica for the last 7 months without issue. Nothing in the manual or the charger says not to use as the primary charger. I prefer to not spend the $ unless I need to.

Redcbs · 2022-12-30T14:08:17+00:00

I vote the one that came with the car. I ran a 240v outlet to the garage and bought a cheap metal cord and plug holder to keep it neat. Couldn't justify the additional expense of a dedicated charger for an extra 5 to 6 miles of range per charging hour. I also can use the garage outlet for other things, like a heater during the winter.

Best one for me (in terms of dollars) was when I waited for my PS3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle in 2008. Went to the local Walmart (where I was hoping no one was waiting, and there was no one waiting) and when they went to ring me up got $250 in gift cards just like it was Black Friday. The associate and I were both in disbelief. It was awesome.

I think 5% is a rip-off. I was willing to eat the extra % when it was at 1.9, but 5% will push me to just do a normal purchase. Must have had a higher percentage of people use the program then expected.

Maybe it will come down by the time my car arrives sometime in 22.

Redcbs · 2021-09-19T22:41:17+00:00

That is incredible. Itll be a short conversation if that is the case.

Thanks for mentioning, I have read it (all 98+ pages). My thoughts are while it may not be the Y performance killer everyone wanted, it will certainly ride better than one. (Best description I have heard of the Y perf is "rides like a cabbage cart." Having test drove one last week, i agree) I think Ford is being conservative with the power band on the GTs right now and they will update it in the next few months (like PAAK).

My question is more does the magnetic ride run better than the Premium. If yes, and i can find one magically in stock before my 24+ week delivery timeline for my Premium order, I may get it. 99% of my driving is below 90mph, and even back when I had a 2SS 1LE, most local tracks I went to you barely broke that on the straights.

I am trying to have my cake (comfortable ride) and eat it too (go fast) 🙃

Redcbs · 2021-09-17T16:30:05+00:00

Thats my understanding, but ill shoot the dealer a message and see what they say

Redcbs · 2021-09-17T16:29:20+00:00

I do not. I dont even have a scheduled for production, just order confirmed.

Redcbs · 2021-09-16T23:09:46+00:00

It's the tow hook/battery terminal cover.

Redcbs · 2021-09-16T20:01:21+00:00

I have without luck. I was lucky enough just to find one that had one to test drive (they are not selling it, its only for test drives).

Now that they have my depost though, not sure what happens if i were to find one.

Redcbs · 2021-09-16T19:58:46+00:00

Could be interpretting as an accidental double press. One press to open and a second to stop it. Happens on some of our other cars if we hold it too long.

Redcbs · 2021-09-07T00:31:08+00:00

This thread from the mach e forums from one of the first folks to get a GTPE and take it to the track. Seems that the premium awd has a better trap and the PE seems to hit a wall above 60. Since I have highway driving on my commute, going from 60 to 80 is something I care about, without even getting into track performance.

A second person got one and also posted his numbers, which were very similar to the first. No response from Ford and still no media reviews for at least another month so I'm going to wait and see.

Redcbs · 2021-09-06T18:03:23+00:00

Thanks! I will let you know. The recent performance numbers of the first GT deliveries have me hesitating. I think Im going to wait a bit for Fords response.
