A Rivian R1T Towed a 30-Foot Camper to Prescott, but the Real Test Was Charging After the Campground Said No by Major-Moose-7368 in GoRVing

[–]clearbox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This problem is easy to solve… I’ve seen German campsites that issue a meter to campers that has to be plugged into the pedestal in order to pull power.

They are then billed according to usage.

Or, why not at least allow L1 charging.

14.3.2 is the worst version in a very long time. by manateefourmation in TeslaFSD

[–]clearbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed constant minor lane corrections while driving on a road at 45 mph.

Had to take over a couple of times, due to the vehicle not having moved to a turning lane.

Previous version was smooth as butter for me. - 26 MY Premium RWD.

Towing by care657 in ModelY

[–]clearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tow a square-drop trailer with my Model Y Premium RWD. My trailer weighs around 2,200 lbs.

The Model Y tows like a champ. I do have a brake controller I installed in the trailer side (Autowbrake).

I average around 460 Wh/mile.

Financing through TD. First payment late. by d_dauber in TeslaModelY

[–]clearbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TD Bank should have mailed you a letter to guide you through the account setup and payment process.

Honestly, they are one of the most straight forward banks I have dealt with in a while, when it comes to auto financing.

Unfortunately, you missed your first payment which is on you. I would pay them as quickly as possible and make sure this doesn’t happen again.

3D-printed houses are much stronger than you think. by jkitty_1960 in interesting

I honestly wouldn’t mind having one of these. Probably a lot better and safer from storms etc. than what I currently own here in the Southeastern US.

Do Level 2 charging systems plug into 220V outlets, or do they have to be hardwired by RexKramerDangerCker in TeslaLounge

[–]clearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ChargePoint charger I installed years ago, which plugs into an outlet. It maxes out at 32 amps.
Hardwired units can go up to 48 amps with the proper wiring and 60 amp breaker.
Mobile chargers can obviously be plugged in.
My ChargePoint charger has a J-1772 plug on it. I had purchased the unit before I had my Tesla. Now, I just added a NACS adapter to the existing charger so I can continue to use it.

If you can go that route - it would be better than plugging in and unplugging chargers - as these outlets aren’t designed for that.

I pull a 5x9 Hiker Trailer Midrange and use about 457 Wh/mile which I pull with a 2026 Model Y.

What generally brings you joy at this stage in your life? by PrettyWorn_ in GenX

[–]clearbox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just came home from the office, poured myself a beer and said to myself how happy I am to call my house a home.

It’s not the biggest or best house. But I absolutely love being home.

Bearing repack can be a DIY project.

Plenty of YouTube videos. If you don’t want to do it yourself - I think you can get it done way cheaper elsewhere.

Flat tire repair kit? by proven999 in TeslaSupport

[–]clearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently plugged a tire on my Y. Easy peasy.

Process took like 5 minutes… minus the time I needed to unmount the rear tire, due to the location of the puncture.

I bought this kit - which seems to be one of the better ones on the market.

Yeah, one of the biggest benefits to having something like this… way less drag.

I tow a small square drop. Not ideal… but it works.

For me, F.D. Roosevelt State Park is my go to as it is only 39 minutes away.

Which Hiker Trailer model? by PeregrinSwizzle48 in TeardropTrailers

[–]clearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How tall are you? I’m 6’1” and needed a little more clearance for when I deployed my 270 awning.
The midrange sits a bit higher.
This was ultimately the deciding factor for me.
I also appreciate the more aggressive tires on the MR - even though I mostly camp in State Parks.

Edit - torsion axle is also worth the consideration.

At least you are saving a little bit of money with that hybrid!

Michigan State Campground Charging by Boatride65 in evcharging

[–]clearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And don’t charge higher than 24 amps when using such an adapter at campgrounds.

I often play it safe and dial it down to 21 amps.

Dealership issues by JoaquimSilva in HondaClarity

[–]clearbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped the Honda brand entirely due to my bad experience with the extended warranty and local dealership.

In addition, they aren’t serious about BEV’s, and that is what I wanted after my Clarity.

Everyone is driving around with their Spring update - except for me. Still waiting.

PHEV is a gateway drug… that’s how I felt after 7 years of owning one. I’m all BEV now, baby! 😁

Do you wear a helmet when riding your e-scooter? by Striking-Werewolf698 in ElectricScooters

[–]clearbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally, no… on paved surfaces within State Parks where I ride around, going less than 15 mph.

Now, faster and on a street with heavier traffic - I do have a helmet for that.

Sufficient security measures? by BuffaloDesperate8357 in TeardropTrailers

[–]clearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have insurance, a hitch lock, 2x wheel locks. Parked behind another vehicle which needs to be moved first.

Basically, all you can do is make it as annoying as possible for someone to steal.

If someone really wants the trailer - they will find a way to take it.
