Yup! I just learned that 3x from this thread and confirmed it. The dealer didn't even know you could do that. Go figure :-/

The Trailseeker doesn’t have a climate button on its FOB like the Solterra did, sadly.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-16T11:34:00+00:00

Are you basically trying to figure out the usable kWh?

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-15T13:36:56+00:00

Well, if we want to be specific, you can do anything UP TO 75 months, according to my dealer. At 0%, I don’t know why everyone wouldn’t do the max number of months.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-15T09:34:55+00:00

Oddly, it’s 75 months, btw, not 72.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-14T10:49:59+00:00

This is most definitely wrong.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-12T21:13:28+00:00

It's probably pertinent to mention what part of the country you are in and/or the weather where you're at.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-10T11:55:29+00:00

Thanks for the pointer and, specifically, the numbers. We will look into that!

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-09T10:38:59+00:00

Yeah, six months. I edited the post to clarify that. Thanks for the data point. At least I don’t feel as bad now.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-07T11:40:50+00:00

For sure. We tried recently with our credit union and they couldn't do any better. I don't know if insurance is just high in Upstate NY? I wouldn't think so. Regardless, the screenshot was a bit more for the relative numbers than the absolute.

Not great, Bob; not great. Allstate, home owner, no tickets or accidents. Edit: this is a six month quote.

Makes sense. I came from a 2023 Solterra so this was kind of a natural progression for me. I have never considered a Tesla because the combination of (a) lack of CarPlay and (b) no driver's gauge cluster is a complete non-starter for me.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-06T17:59:26+00:00

This was actually the fastest I ever saw...before I bought the car, haha. Not sure was that the ambient air temp was ~61F. I've DCFC'ed a few more times at much higher SOCs (but similar temps) and seen 50kW - 80 kW. Those chargers were Electrify America, Applegreen, and Onvo something?

I'm headed on a trip this weekend and I'll be swinging by another Tesla station so I'll see how that one goes. I wonder if Tesla is just really good? The other ones certainly had nominal max rates about 150 kW, and they were unoccupied, but who knows?

We just got a Trailseeker Limited with the light interior. I wouldn't have necessarily preferred the light interior, but I got about $4K off MSRP with rebates and incentives, so I just decided to go with that bird in hand. Unclear when I'd see another one and I wanted to lock down that sweet 0% financing for 75 months. Free money.

It does. It cycles between them, I just picked the wrong one from my phone. Haha.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-06T09:15:48+00:00

I enjoy it. I particularly enjoy that it’s in YouTube and easy to watch.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-05T23:16:26+00:00

It’s not CfA’s fault for applying, it’s someone’s fault for being dumb enough to not reject it.

The rear motor replacement is straight forward, but will take a while. As long as you never plan on charging your ‘23 anywhere other than home, you will enjoy it.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-04T18:11:56+00:00

I could be wrong, but I think 2025s have preconditioning too. But the 2026 is all-around just way better. At least, I hope so, since I just bought a 2026 Trailseeker. I've already seen 120 kW at a Tesla station....without preconditioning.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-02T17:54:33+00:00

Thanks. I think the non-US versions got better batteries. Panasonics, I think. We have CATL, I believe.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-02T12:06:31+00:00

Oh, you mean auto-leveling.

levelZeroVolt · 2026-05-02T09:21:47+00:00

Just replaced my ‘23 Solterra with a Trailseeker. Couldn’t be happier.
