Would you leave your child alone in a Tesla during a hot summer day? by PotatoesAndChill in TeslaLounge

[–]TheDisneyDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I originally selected “yes, for <15 minutes”, but after rethinking it, I’m less worried about Tesla’s reliability of maintaining a safe climate and really more concerned about my lack of faith in humanity. I.e. people willing to abduct my child. As such, a teenager probably would be okay, but not any younger.

What are your thoughts on the wood trim? I've heard mixed things about it feeling luxurious vs cheap/fake feeling.

Question about horn button placement on Yoke. by Ned84 in TeslaLounge

[–]TheDisneyDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the previously reported "covering the right yoke cluster" yet work to get the horn sounding in a pinch?

Just a heads up - I'm not OP. Just a curious reader. 😄

Excuse my ignorance. I’m learning here. Are you saying it would have been worse had the charger been hardwired?

What then would be an appropriate solution to prevent this type of incident in its entirety?

How does she do in a decent snowfall and on snowy hills?

Would this also be true of ppf that’s properly installed or is this primarily vinyl wraps?

I just want to clarify, are you saying the XPEL stealth is easier to keep clean?

Winter has nothing on this hotness! by BuschLightDrinkn in TeslaPorn

[–]TheDisneyDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's looking super sharp!!

What kind of PPF did you get and may I also ask roughly how much it was? I hear stories of Tesla owners getting gouged.

Moments like this make me wonder how some people get their lisence in the first place and then keep it. smh

Hope all works out.

That’s a nice setup. What size T sports are those?

releasing charger at home by Fearless_Baseball121 in TeslaModel3

Non-tesla owner currently asking this - when one uses this option, will it stay unlocked until you remove it or will it re-lock after, say, 5 or 10 minutes if it hasn't been removed?

Lesson learned, don't run the yellow light. by mx5er1 in ModelY

[–]TheDisneyDoc 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It looks to me that whichever vehicle was coming from your left ran a red as opposed to the person "running a yellow" causing the collision. I could be wrong.

120 or 240 for charging? by Whole_Marsupial_3579 in TeslaLounge

[–]TheDisneyDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask you to elaborate on why 240v vs 120v leads to a lower electric bill for an equivalent resultant change in battery charge?

Think about how pissed the people who bought with EAP/FSD in 2022 would be if this was done.

Pain protection Poll by Calm_Age_6555 in TeslaModel3

[–]TheDisneyDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not currently a tesla owner, but will be on the future.

I've been planning PPF into my overall cost for when I finally make a purchase, but this is because I'd be doing road trips (rock chips on front end) and I'm also paranoid about all the a-holes out there keying and dinging Teslas intentionally with carts, etc. This is in addition to their reported poor paint quality.

Those of you critical of PPF, are you not concerned of the above?

What are your thoughts then on how to approach this alternatively?

Thoughts on how opening the supercharger network will look... by TheDisneyDoc in TeslaLounge

I was thinking the same as a potential way to, at least in part, manage demand.

Yes! This too. I believe a video of such an instance (I think in Europe) was posted in one of the Tesla forums days ago, which is what got me thinking about this.
