I would get a starlink mini if I wanted to do real work. ATT mobile data is LTE (at least in my R1T) and it works okay for the occasional email or tesms call, but I wouldn't depend on it outside of major transportation corridors.

Its not unusual for a EVSE to do a temperature related derate to a lower amp like that. My wife has a Gen 2 Tesla UWC, and it will sometimes do that. If I use that EVSE on my R1T it will happen too. You will see a single red flashing LED, with the other ones flashing green as normal. There is a...

A good tarp will do for this. Even if I had a cargo liner, I would still use a tarp...

"Uber has already placed an order for tens of thousands of them to use as the backbone of its robotaxi fleet. " - Is this true? R2 as a robo-taxi?

I think this is a "balcony solar" question about the standard that allows you to plug in a small solar array directly into a 120V outlet. I think count can try it and report back.

I use a fob on a gen1 R1T all the time, and the proximity lock/unlock works well with it. I never have to stand around and I can always hear it lock when I walk away. I also have my phone as a key in my pocket the whole time, I have been meaning to test whether that makes the experience more...

DCFC speed is a big nothingburger for me. Its a very small percentage of my charging. I'd rather have better efficiency / more miles.

Added a second EVSE after I got fed up with L1 charging. My wife has her Tesla Gen3 WC and I have a Grizzl-e. No more moving cars around. I am careful to not charge both at the same time in the summer (with HVAC running). My R1T is on a 9PM - 8AM schedule, wife charges earlier than that.

Enough already. I'm amazed how many posts there are about this. I don't get the point. Efficiency is hyper-personal and situational.

When I first get a vehicle, I obsess over efficiency. Then I settle in with some standard planning metrics and live life without stressing over it at all. My R1T can get anywhere from 2.2 to 2.9 on the same route, on different days. I plan for 2.3. Why is it 2.3? What's impacting that number...

Start with the halfshafts and the ting washers. Should be a warranty item.

I think the wrist band and the card work the same. There is a very small space on the handle that will read the NFC chip. There is no "tapping". Once you learn the placement (1.5 inches from the end of the handle) it takes maybe 2 seconds. Just hold it there.

Is this a bug fixed in the upcoming R2 release?

I have never turned off climate control while at a DCFC, and I've never see that message. I wonder if climate hold and pet mode are somehow treated differently than just having climate on.

The Terra is significantly larger than the R1. 12 inches longer, 5 inches taller, much longer bed. It looked like the gas engine thing was going to be the only option, so I cancelled my reservation. I already have enough trouble driving and parking the R1 in the city, garages.
