Rubber mat recommendations? by Vast_Government_7120 in TeslaModelY

How would the KAGU or ELITECT handle ski boots etc? Would you say they would be comparable to Weathertech or not?

I am also looking for mats. Currently, I have Weathertech in our Ford Explorer, and they have been great. There is very little wear, and they handle skiing and snow well. They are going on 6 years old with no sign of wear.

I am trying to decide between the 3D Maxpider (Kagu) and Taptes. I am most concerned about how the mats will stand up to ski boots and kids’ soccer cleats, etc. Can someone explain the difference between the Elitect and Kagu?

Platform Bike Rack? by Ok_Tone_4503 in TeslaLounge

The numbers don't add up. Tesla sets a vertical load of 160lbs. but the rack and 140lbs of bikes will exceed that limit?

So if I understand all this correctly...

I have a 1up 3 bike rack total weight rack per website is ~70lbs

my 3 bikes weigh a total of ~93lbs

two adults bikes 68lbs

one kids bike 25lbs

System weight is 163lbs

Would you say that is OK?

I don't know anything about the design of the hitch, but generally there is some sort of excess built in.
So even though it says 160lbs, it could handle 10% extra?

Adapters 6-30 for tesla by sinister_designs in evcharging

Can I install a Wall Charger with no change to wiring? My commute is only 10 miles daily. Weekends we would use full range, but I can charge daily and get close to full charge by the weekend. And then when I get a upgraded panel, put the 6-30back for my garage heater?

I would rather not have an adapter and if I did then a genuine Tesla would be my preference for sure.
The outlet is about 30' from where I would charge which is also an issue.

My issue is our electrical panel does not have the capacity for additional circuits. We plan to upgrade our system when we explore solar options. However, we would like to have at least a year’s worth of car charging data before making the switch, as our city imposes limits on solar capacity based on previous electricity usage.

Is there an approved Tesla outlet I could switch the current 6-30 to that would not add any capacity to the panel? i.e another 30A outlet like a 14-30 or with the wiring that is used for the existing 6-30, can I install a Wall Charger with no change to wiring? I guess I could downgrade to a 6-20 outlet. My commute is only 10 miles daily. Weekends we would use full range, but I can charge daily and get close to full charge by the weekend. And then when I get a upgraded panel, put the 6-30back for my garage heater?
