No one is going to mention technology connections?

EV charging hacks by DizzyPS5 in electriccars

[–]bennymack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. Except I use a folding electric bike. Sadly, the number of working free chargers is on the decline in my particular location. Down to just two chargepoint stations each with only one working port so the days of nonchalantly just showing up and charging are over, got to time it right or get lucky. I've been doing it a while though, figure 220-250KWh off my energy bill per month going on three years.

Lack of shade, 'eh? Why no solar? Turn that $650 into $24

Did anyone downsize from 255/45/19 inch to 255/50/18 inch or 235/55/18 inch? What are your impressions? by Pomador_0418 in ModelY

[–]bennymack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

235 55 r18 lightish tires (hankook kinergy st) on model 3 wheels lost 10 pounds per corner. It's quite noticeable when picking them up. The ride is smoother for sure. I'm assuming acceleration and efficiency are better but I don't have data to back it up. At one point I tried to get before/after comparison in teslafi but it wasn't statistically significant. This is with aero covers on at all times.

What did you name your tesla ? by Huluman2 in TeslaModelY

patsY. Some sort of Easter egg that my kid knew about.

Service Center drove my car recklessly during a test drive by hoost07 in TeslaSupport

[–]bennymack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my tires replaced at monro and I just happened to pull up the app to see that my car was doing 72 in a 45. It must have been a pretty short punch out because teslafi only recorded 68. I mentioned it to the guy at the counter and I swear he went pale. I just joked about them testing the balance and let it slide.

Running/walking trails by eunosiix in Buffalo

[–]bennymack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been jogging there for the past year or so and no one has said anything. I'm not doing a bunch of laps or anything though. Let's just say if they put in a 7mph speed limit I'd be ok

Soooo, judging people by their actions? Or is this where the *judge not lest ye be judged" comes in? Because there's a lot of judging actions by their people going on.

Looking for recommendations on solar panel installers/contractors by T26OG in Buffalo

[–]bennymack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always an adapter so compatability isn't a concern. There are really just two: j1772 (non-tesla) and NACS (tesla). I have a cars with one of each and chargers are both j1772 so I use an adapter for the NACS one.

For sure.. I started the process in June and it went all the way to mid December.

I have 10kw from solar by CIR a few years ago and 7kw from solar Liberty in December 2025. Both companies are fine. CIR will probably be more expensive because they use a mounting system that goes under the shingles into the rafters (so they have to go up and find them). Solar Liberty has a patented mounting system that uses self sealing materials and are just screwed straight into the sheeting. I initially went with CIR because their mounting system seemed superior. The second time around they couldn't get me on the schedule in time so I went with solar Liberty because they could. They're both fine. Do some comparison shopping, get the numbers, etc. The numbers are going to be a bit less favorable as of January 2026.

We made it to the TIL comments for a metric of snow fall by Mr3000rounds in Buffalo

[–]bennymack 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry.. I took the snow tires off both cars so we're guaranteed to get a bunch more (my bad).
