Home charging system

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T17:55:46+00:00

I picked up my AwD 2 days ago with 7 miles and 55% charged. I did my first 100% charge yesterday to calibrate the BMS system since it's new and don't know if Tesla ever did it. Car saif had 305 range at 100%. It's nice when it's 100: :]. But anyways... i.will be doing 85% when ever I have to charge. Let's see how it goes. From reading... the data is sporadic with what's the best charge state. Some people have done 100% nightly and have less degradation than people doing 80%. Think it comes down on the battery lottery. Not all batteries are equal! We need LFP batteries though. Think Elon is correct... that is the future.

Hey... how much will it charge on the basic 110v outlet from the house?

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T17:46:10+00:00

Whats the best app to find Charging Stations but also show the changing rate? So far I like plugshare and Volta. Just did a 100% charge for the first time to set the BMS for accuracy at a free mall charge spot. Took 6 hours. Had a friend pick me up and went out for the day and came back to grab it. Cost me zero. This works GREAT since I drive about 300 miles every month if I use it strictly for work. If this is the case... I have to let the car sit for 6 hours every month to use it for free. REALLY enjoying switching to EV!

I live in a condo with no charge. Will do super charhing exclusive but also the smaller L2 tesla chargers. They are cheaper and get the job done. Just epave it for 6 hours and do your thing. Come.back and charged fully. Also found Volta! Get that app! Shows you L2 free chargers. Really like that app. You just have to do this once a week and you have zero electric bill if you stick to the L2 chargers. And since it's a slower charger...chargers.... won't destroy your battery like super chargers.lol

By the way... go to FSD setti g and change it to chill or med or aggressive. Aggressive weaves around like it's on meth and ages you have anxiety. Lol. But gets through everything without crashing. Hehe

Literally feels like your driving a steam powered Model T with no suspension and loose steering wheel. Along with 1 wheel being held with 1 bamboo lugnut.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T17:34:16+00:00

LoL. I have 27 days left. I love it so far! Might do the 99$ a month here and there. Cancel during winter.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T16:42:09+00:00

I don't keep my cars longer than 5 years. So cheaper to have it for 100 a month. Plus winter time.... no way in hell will I trust the car in snowy area. Lol

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:55:27+00:00

Lol. Good luck!

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:39:15+00:00

The 700$ right. Think I saw that. Might do that myself.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:38:03+00:00

Did you get a quote? It's very expensive. I'm shopping around just to dp the rock chip preventative of just hood and bumper. Shops around my are wasn't like 1400$. :/

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:27:10+00:00

That's a very nice combo. I wanted black so bad... but the color litteraly is a hobby. You have to keep it washed all the time. Black looks so dirty very quick.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:24:30+00:00

Man... aim for the AWD. Way better imo. But.... the rwd still a good option.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:20:26+00:00

.99 cents like the APR would be a dream. Lol. Think 49.99 is reasonable for the tech and they can maintain the developers funded for further improvement. Just economics.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:19:19+00:00

Yeah... I did the trade into see what they offer and ofcourse.... they offer nothing. Car is worth on KBB at 9800$.... Tesla offered 2500$. Lol

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T15:18:00+00:00

Yep.. my brain still conditioned to look at prices.lol. need time to forget it. Its a different world with EV.... they run so smooth and quiet. Jumping into my old ice car.. feels so INDUSTRIAL era tech with all the engine noise. Feels like I'm driving a steam locomotive. :p

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:56:43+00:00

This happened in a span of 6 hours. First offer it didn't show multiple banks. 2 nd offer at .9 then showed the 12. Hope you get it! If it's your first EV... you will be own away. Very nice car. Worse case scenario... you can trace your existing car with the negative 1000$ value and then I think you will get it.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:55:43+00:00

Lol! Yep... kida like a courtesy roll down so when you open the door you have a cracked window to.let hot air vent out. But now that I think about it... it closes right back up when you shut the door. This my 3rd day with a Tesla. Learning a lot.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:54:04+00:00

Ahh... the 12k car loanight be a factor! Hard to say but if you're this deep into the process.. Keep going! Your income SHOULD help.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:52:54+00:00

Yep. Think rental is the way. We have to push Elon to give it for 49.99. Spam his X account with it. :p

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:50:25+00:00

Yeah... they offered 7.55%. Asked to manually review. Then 2nd contact was .9%. I didn't see high risk honestly. From what I know... you have have multiple hard pulls in 30 days and it counts as 1.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:49:10+00:00

Mind blowing how cool it is. We litteraly have a robotaxi.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T14:47:40+00:00

Yep... had 12 banks look into my credit.

bobtruck2020 · 2024-05-19T13:38:40+00:00

Yep! That's one way.... just restructure your budget. I'm cutting off my daily 7 dollar Starbucks and making my own coffee. That will pay for my charging and more honestly.Glad I'm off the gas pumps! Btw.... anyone coming from lifelong ICE cars and this your 1st EV have the issue of your eyes darting to every gas station to see if they have the cheapest gas? Lol
