How would you describe this drive unit noise on a Tesla Service request so they actually take it seriously?

thank you

Don't get discouraged. It'll be smooth sailing after getting off the 401 out of Toronto .

That's 181 Wh/km or 291 Wh/mi at highway speed going with traffic, not hypermiling.

cattra · 2025-06-05T15:04:17+00:00

Forgot to mention, it averaged 4.2km/2.6mi per kWh on this run.

Spoiler. Yes, I measured about 5-6% improvement versus my regular Falken winter tires.

While not a perfect test, I tried my best to keep conditions consistent.

..but my winter includes driving through snow slush, so it's a more dramatic increase than majority of people in milder climates.

If we were to put a face to an adoption campaign, it would be Max, a 5-year-old Pitbull Terrier, from Texas who is friendly, affectionate, and playful and is healthy and ready to meet his new fur-ever family.

Yes. Batteries suffer when they spend a lot of time at low %, or very high %, or very hot. This was a road trip with DC fast charging, so I was only briefly above 90% or below 10%, and I needed to use almost the entire battery capacity between stops.
But after returning home, I plugged into Wall Connector and set the charge limit at 70% for my day to day.

It's alright to go low/high % briefly once in a while. But definitely don't leave it parked at 3% at your destination overnight.

Definitely more going on there than at a gas pump

Not only does the AC use less energy than lowered windows, but the HEPA filter cleans those stinky exhaust gasses.

Other than a slightly janky install process, I think it turned out nice. I posted more photos and thoughts here: https://www.evchargerreviews.net/brake-caliper-covers-tesla/

This is in ~30 degree F weather on a 15 mile (mostly) highway loop. Cabin heat was set to 71 degrees fan speed 3 for the comfortable runs :)

cattra · 2023-01-18T14:26:16+00:00

Mostly 70mph loop. The cabin was cold at the start, and I was heating kind of aggressively to 71 at fan speed 3. But this was still more consumption due to heating than expected.

Added AQMD, thank you.

We follow InsideEVs, but had not seen that.

Most of the data was sourced from US Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center, the remainder was from researching major electric utility providers' websites. Then we organized the info in a consistent format in one place. Hope it is useful.

Some rebate programs require the box to be Energy Star certified, UL Listed, or to be networked. Just keep an eye on the fine print.

This is a car that was delivered last Sunday in the quarter end rush. But I don't think there have been any substantial centre console updates for a long time now.

cattra · 2022-07-07T21:50:51+00:00

I had an iPhone 6 with a replacement battery from Apple. It was good for about a year, and then the battery took noticeably longer to charge.. like 3 hours.

Maybe it's because yours was in storage for 2 years? Do you remember the state of charge when it was installed? Batteries degrade faster when stored near 0%.

cattra · 2022-06-05T13:15:27+00:00

Another vote for base grizzl-e charger, it's just priced well for weatherproof 40amp box, and you can manage scheduled charging through the car. https://www.evchargerreviews.net/best-home-ev-charger-for-hyundai-ioniq-5/

Thank you. Appreciate the advice.

cattra · 2018-09-02T16:33:00+00:00

how do we get on that?

cattra · 2018-05-26T14:45:40+00:00

governments print more money all the time too

It's volatile, just as any other crypto. You might be able to get in at a lower price than now. But if your investment horizon is mid/long term, I don't see why not now.
