By the way, the spray nozzles started working once I left work at lunch time. A little warmer outside. I do not think anything is heated because I was running defrost for 30 minutes this morning before I left.
I have the OE blend. They always fill it during my monthly repair appointment at the service center. I read where one of the EV MFRs (maybe it was Tesla) warns against using the orange winter blend because it tends to streak over the cameras. Not sure if this is actually true..
R1S was sitting outside in cold weather like it always is. I cannot get the front or rear windshield washer nozzles to spray. It seems like theyāre frozen and I also do not hear any motors running trying to spray. So maybe there is a sensor that shuts the pump off when it detects there is a...
Iām referring specifically to preconditioning. Iām coming from Tesla, which do not use the battery for preconditioning the cabin if theyāre plugged into the charger. I would prefer to minimize the use of the battery and limit charging cycles if it were possible.
This is interesting. I wanted to Defrost the snow from the G1 R1S windows, so ran the heat for 30 minutes. I noticed the SOC dropped from 70% to 68% during that time and it started recharging to get it back to the 70% I have set as the default. Wouldnāt this mean that the gen 1 R1S is using its...
it will do this, depending on specifically what has failed on the drive unit, I guess. The right rear drive unit failed on our Quad R1S in the middle of nowhere. It was the disconnect. Same symptoms others reported. Sounded like driving over rumble strips each time I would drive from being...
Our R1S has an efficiency of 1.6-1.8 mi/kWh in nice summer weather. This is with our roof boxes. In this cold 20F weather, the efficiency is 1.0. This is because I had the heat going for an hour total while the R1S is plugged to melt the ice and snow. This counts against the efficiency, I guess.
Here is an interesting update. I was out running errands for a couple of hours. When I got home I measure the brake rotor temperature with my IR temp gun. The brake rotors were around 20F, same as the outside air temperature. I was driving manually without Driver+.
I have the holiday update. Noticed since updating, the map is very slow, like actually unusable. Other UI element also have an unacceptable amount of delay. Reminds me of my old iPad Pro thatās getting slower and slower with each software update. I used to be able to pan and zoom fluidly to find...
Iām seeing a lot more brake pad wear / dust than with my Model Y. I wonder why? Iām supposedly mostly only using regen except when HOLD or in park. I have the regen assist off.
Iām the OP and I just received the strangest email from A2Z today. I already submitted the photo of my adapter and order information, so not sure what this is about. My name is not Yanet, so have no idea what that means. š³
Tesla Universal Charger. I had it in mind, then I watched State of Charge to see if Tom would give it a good rating, which he did.
My rationale for getting the Tesla Universal was that the J1772 adapter cannot accidentally drop to the concrete and crack nor will it get lost. Itās either...
I know the AutoSocks work; they got me home in an ice storm last January in my Model Y. I had just a single pair and placed them on the rear wheels. This was an all-wheel drive MYLR.
if I get these for the R1S Quad, could I get away with just a single pair and if so, would it be best to place...
after sleeping on it and giving more thought, Iāve decided against using my $100,000 electrical outlet tester on that antiquated outlet installed who knows when. I doubt I can get answers to any of the questions / concerns you suggested below from the staff on site.
The place Iāll be working in 3 weeks has a 240V outlet thatās accessible to our R1S. Iād like to use the outlet for charging. The outlet has 10-50R / 50-AMP / 240V stamped on When I search on Amazon, I have no idea if the brands Iām reviewing are safe and reliable. Can anyone recommend an...
This is regarding the voluntary recall that A2Z is doing with their first gen NACS adapter. I placed my request with A2Z for a replacement adapter on December 10. Aside from the initial acknowledgement of my request, I have received no updates. Itās approaching a month now. Has anyone else...
