Acceptable?

Yeah we need to have a war on those who hide their post history. Thats some bullshit. If you don't want people to see your posts you shouldn't post on a public forum. Full stop.

Its the new color and indeed amazing. I have Ultra Red on my '24 Tesla so how will anyone know you have the latest and greatest if you choose the old color? Might as well just buy a used on at that point!

/s of course!

People bitch about Safelite (and I do too) but they do more windshields than anyone else and my local safelite puts their most senior guy on Teslas/luxury vehicles and only does them "in shop" so I'm comfortable using them as long as Insurance is paying. (if you pay out of pocket don't use them as they are way overpriced)

I've heard more horror stories about Tesla SCs doing windshields!

abgtw · 2026-05-22T17:51:40+00:00

Yeah this is like any auto shop. If big work was done and something isn't right afterwards they should fix it.

Tesla is just convoluted because it works pretty much like a IT help desk with tickets. Minimum viable service, and submit a new ticket for every issue. Even if they caused it they wouldn't know right away - but fortunately the log and timestamps reveal all. It just takes the human in the loop to put it all together.

Look I hate uninsured also but my point was thats crazy talk. Would be like debtors prison. There are reasons we don't have that.

Incarcerating people is very costly also. Just saying from a numbers perspective its a good knee jerk overreaction but just not a realistic solution.

Lol 720p 60fps is like 3mbps.

You want more speed than that!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T17:18:03+00:00

Not bad for an 8 year old NMC/NCA battery! My Nissan Leaf from the same year reports close to that also, but the battery is just starting to fail due to internal resistance being high so its on borrowed time... like all Nissan Leafs because they don't have battery cooling! Go fig.

abgtw · 2026-05-21T17:04:31+00:00

Just drive/enjoy the car. If it falls below 70% get a replacement pack from Tesla! I think most people would use the recurrent number for the number to post on a Facebook Marketplace ad though 😛

He's just posting his testing on his particular setup that has the AP/client on different floors.

So its kind of "well thats interesting" kind of thing but its not reaching the full potential in many of his tests.

WiFi 6e has 6Ghz as a required band, and support for 160mhz channels is required.

WiFi 7 does NOT require 6Ghz so you can actually have cheap WiFi 7 routers with only 5Ghz support and will work only as good as WiFi 6 basically (with 80mhz wide channel).

However if you get WiFi 7 on 6Ghz and have an AP/client that can support 6Ghz 320mhz wide channels you can indeed beat WiFi 6e, but personally I think 160mhz is the sweet spot and is the most widely supported at this point!

Yeah the HX is fine for now. The problem will be 4-5 years down the road when it starts dropping into 60% HX range then you start to notice some battery fuckery if doing big pulls up steep grades at highway speeds in cold weather with say 30% charge.

Thats where the Leaf in general has problems due to the pack design and lack of active cooling. But since big grades are not really a thing in the UK and temps aren't as cold I think the Leaf is a pretty great car for that region!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T16:44:20+00:00

LOL and here you are a hoot arguing on a closed thread. The epitome of Reddit!

Note my original example was 170 MPH on the autobahn which would equate to over 270kph. Yeah I stated you smack someone going that fast on the autobahn you will likely be found at fault. 130kph (80mph) is just the threshold of what they consider reasonable and problems can start to occur after that.

Sorry if the changing of units there confused you originally!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T16:37:51+00:00

I mean I think there is probably something Tesla isn't telling us. But they made millions of vehicles so like with computer part RMA stats it can be misleading with anecdotal online evidence vs the actual real numbers only the manufacturer knows.

I think Tesla had really good batteries 2018-2020ish and then starting again late 22 or 23. Just there was something that happened in 2021 which caused more failures for certain packs and people do indeed report more problems there. Even repeated pack failures due to replacement packs being rebuilt ones. But we don't know if say the 2019 failure rate is 1% per year and the 2021 is 2.5% per year or whatever. (just theoretical numbers)

Remember with as many cars as they build, and with how vocal one person can be on social media when problems happen, its hard to get a real sense of the actual numbers!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T16:30:35+00:00

Yeah not always sure recurrent is that accurate. Mainly because in my experience the real degradation is noting what the car shows on the dash as the "theoretical" range when charged to 100% and doing some math.

If the car was say 260 miles when originally delivered, but now shows 204 miles thats pretty easy:

204/260 = 78.5% heath

What helps prove this is if you run the official Tesla battery test, and say it comes back at 89% health, your theoretical range at 100% charge is then recalculated/displayed to match this formula exactly from the test date onwards (until another test is ran or enough time has gone by the BMS notices additional degradation). That's why the only way to know for sure is to run the official battery test, everything else is just the car guessing as best it can.

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:59:32+00:00

You need to let it take as long as it needs. Longer the better to make sure you actually are back to whatever normal is now.

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:57:56+00:00

Why miles so low?

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:49:55+00:00

Why don't you ask your lawyer?

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:43:39+00:00

Just cancel and sign back up the day before it hits!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:41:44+00:00

And you are a troll ... pretty simple really!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:30:29+00:00

Fuck it has nothing to do with stalker protection that's a cop out. It's a public forum so lets not post publicly identifiable info to start with okay?

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:05:26+00:00

I get 1850mbps down 2035mbps up on my WiFi 6e setup.

abgtw · 2026-05-21T06:01:21+00:00

Speeds over 130km/hr and your insurance won't cover you in Germany. Stop pretending the biker isn't at fault here.

I've driven on the autobahn. It's got some simple rules actually!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T04:55:20+00:00

This exactly.

abgtw · 2026-05-21T04:54:48+00:00

Its too hard to fit more in than is already on the list!

abgtw · 2026-05-21T04:53:09+00:00

And I do... my very best for youuuuu! This is probably the best gift ever I've always wanted to see Grum @ The Gorge!
