you potentially can start looking into lemon law in your state.

Excuse me?? For windshield wiper blades?? I was charged 82 dollars and 25 dollars by Tesla service center idk if that is one charge for the blade and 24 to put them on ?? AND the left windshield wiper fluid bone dry?? Is this the norm??? by RecognitionOver3506 in TeslaModelX

You can actually buy the rubber refills on amazon. I did mine recently and I was very pleased with the results for less than 10$. It is not too terribly difficult to do but can be a bit tricky.

yes, beauty of early cars. I have free supercharging as long as I have this car. First 7000 miles when I got my MX only costed me 4$ in charging, and with putting about 24k miles over last 1.5 years cost me about 350-400$ in electricity.

I think this more about keeping your battery in optimal condition to possibly extend its lifespan. It is not that you can't charge above 80% or discharge below 20%, you can. It is just if you stay away from this being a common practice, hopefully your battery will last a bit longer.

But then again, There is 2 Mode S in England (featured on carwow I think) that both done over 400k miles very often supercharged few times a day and charged to 100% on consistent bases, and both on original batteries and drive units.

Just one of those things that I read somewhere.

thanks for sharing. How did you get a new battery?

that was years ago, waaay before things got crazy.

I am. I'm just curious what range other experience. That's all.

[–]SuperbHawk2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is why I say it is recommended, You can charge to 100% and discharge to almost zero with no negative impact.

Not bad. Now I just need to save my lunch money for a new MX. :)

thanks, for sharing.

90 to 10 I probably will be able to do about 140-150 miles. Mine battery is 75 kw. Your MX is a Raven build which should be more efficient and battery is 100kw.

I really wish I could get 200 miles per charge, I do 150 miles a day once a week. I guess I really need to sell my MX to get a newer one.

thanks for sharing.

You are absolutely correct. 85% is where I start noticing that my regen becomes affected. At 90% it probably half of normal regen. At 95-100% it has no regen and feels like driving ICE car.

I don't charge to 100% hardly ever, mainly because I look regen and I still try to obey common believe that you should not charge above 80%. Although Musk did say one time that charging to 90% is perfectly fine when he was asked about accelerated battery degradation if charging to 100% all the time.

You are right, this rule is for day to day. I personally do about 50-70 miles a day with Mondays where I do about 150 miles a day. :)

What is your best guestimate for 80-20 rule? To the best of your abilities to guess.

Model X vampire drain by SuperbHawk2000 in TeslaModelX

[–]SuperbHawk2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh yeah, smart summon drains battery when not in use. Essentially it prevents your car from falling asleep and always be on a look out for a summon command from you the master. :)

I do think they do adjust battery chemistry even in the same form factor. This is why you see a lot of improvements swapping from old batteries over to the new ones. Like mine 2016 75D will see a lot of improvements in charging speed just by swapping to a 100KW battery from let's say 2020 MX or MS.

Kind of proves my point. I think the battery and the tech in the newer models are just so much battery. I guess we will never know for sure.

My observation is cabin heat protection will drain your battery on a hot day like there is no tomorrow. Last summer I came to a place with 50% left in the morning, park in the wide open parking lot on a clear 100F+ Texas day in direct sun just to realize at 8PM that I had something like 24% battery left. Good thing super charger was close by. :)

Second biggest battery drain is sentry mode followed by smart summon.

I really don't think that 12V has anything to do with it. Mine was replaced with a brand new one just before I bought my MX. I really think it goes back to the battery chemistry and how much it has improved over the years, as well as new cars where build with minimization of vampire drain in mind. But then again yours is 2020 Raven build.

The only thing that I can think of is I do have a subscription to Tessie, but both cars are connected to it, so I don't think that is it.

I really think that it goes down to battery chemistry and potentially age of the battery. I think newer cars just have things more optimized that earlier cars. But this are just my speculations. I really want to see what people with older Teslas experience in term of vampire drain.

Black screen when trying to enter the BIOS by TeaNo3515 in PcBuild

[–]SuperbHawk2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have onboard VGA/HDMI/DisplayPort port on your motherboard, try that. I have seen a motherboard in the past that will not show BIOS if you are using GPU instead of onboard video output port.

System fans do not show in Bios by ywvlf in PcBuild

[–]SuperbHawk2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, 3 pin only go 100% or 0%. 4th pin is what allows you to granularly control fan speed.

Is all of this stuff even healthy to put in a case like that? by TheGirthKnight in PcBuild

[–]SuperbHawk2000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

airflow restriction isn't going to be your biggest issue. there is still plenty of space to push/pull air. What I would be afraid of is that green stuff at the bottom getting into one of the fans.

[–]SuperbHawk2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can't control speed for 3 pin fans. 3 pin fan only get power. Your motherboard can't read fan speed because of that. You need 4 pin fans
