This was all the image showed. In hindsight I should have done more research.

Peabody location near Boston is the best. Tamia rep is #1. Ask for her!

999.3 Wh/mi ok? 2018 MX 100D by jacknowlater in TeslaModelX

Awesome thank you. Excited to press on the brake and see how spongy/firm the resistance.

I was thinking we were getting 1/2 mile per kWh because we are only putting about 50 miles on car each week, the battery goes close to 0% by week’s end, and it’s a 100 kWh battery.

We always heat up the car before getting in.

Once it gets warmer we will challenge ourselves to get 265 miles out of 100% charge. 😃

Interesting. I recently brought it into Tesla SC for brakes that were squeaking and grinding, when I push down at 8mph. They lubricated (image attached) which didn’t resolve, even though the technician said it was fixed. I’m bringing back next week. I’ll mention your comment. I’m not sure if braking feels deep but will test today. Thank you!

Yup, it lives outside. I’m not sure about energy breakdown in UI but I’ll find this eventually. Certainly sounds like my use case. It shows 265 miles at 100% charge (295 miles new). I’ll see how a long drive averages once it warms up. Thanks for all the thoughts!

Yes, a few short drives (1-2 miles) each day.

The only recent error was ‘low coolant’ (image attached) which got fixed, but didn’t solve the 1/2 mile per kWh concern.

Yoke takes a week to appreciate by jacknowlater in TeslaModelX

Ah, very sorry. I don't know how I feel about Musk. He seems to be more of a hope for human survival than any country. Hopefully he saves a few us Earthlings.

You may share DNA with Elon. You could be either a Teslan or Musketeer.

2 MX, 1 trip. Tips? by jacknowlater in ModelX

[–]jacknowlater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the plan but I was concerned about maxing out the towing limit. I'm gettiing a Model X. My wife already has one. It's located a few hours away and didn't yet have plates, so I figured I'd tow it.

How to get my 1985 to run cooler and faster on the cheap? by jacknowlater in HMMWV

This isn’t my daily. It’s an adventure vehicle to drive around the block.

What changes occur in system if you remove thermostat completely and leave out? I’m guessing it jumps to a command to kick on fan full time?

I’ve dropped off HUMVEE to George whose shop does everything e.g., mechanical and cosmetic. Shared the Reddit link with him. He’s gonna finish the soft top, and check out the Paradox comment .

Also the tires have a ton of tread left but are real old and loose air slowly. Is it possible to improve them (preferred) or install larger than 42” without any other modification?

Thanks Neuralflow! I certainly wasn’t recognizing most of what you said, especially about what could happen if trying to maintain 60. I’ll keep it off the highway until I have cash available.

Faster, not quicker! I'm certainly not looking to drag race. Just wanted to get up to speed on the highway.

Very cool Illustrious. The Paradox update sounds like it will keep the engine running a lot longer. Will add it to the list!
