There is still a two to three month wait to get a Tesla Model S... and the re-tooling for the two-motor configurations caused some extra delays that are just now returning to "normal" three month order process. It is very hard to see how any of these reported numbers mean much when Tesla is...

I had thought about doing this. But, I haven't even dragged the o-scope out to the car to look at the connection between the touch screen and the rest of the unit. Would you be willing to share any details of what you did? Physical and/or logical protocols in place in the Clarion? Which...

I have these http://www.airtab.com/gallery/rv.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; around the tail end of a very squared off "Toy Hauler" Class C RV. I can't tell the difference in gas mileage... too many variables... but the DEFINITELY reduced "tail wag" and also made a huge...

Yes, as long as the cut does not short the center wire and current drain wire in the plastic housing. And you insulate the cut end. And... just for more data... hobby stores carry a lot of small lighting products, for flying radio control models at night...

+1 I bought my leaf "off the lot" there. Very happy with the transaction, and Paul Francis. If you wish, ask for John Detter, his is their knowledgeable leaf expert.

I've had mine in for some weeks now. 1) Same (very minor) install issues already mentioned. 2) I left my seat in and just rocked it back and forth as needed. Result: Badly scratched the new brackets! Take you seat out and set it aside... it is just as easy. I love the brackets. I'm...

Got mine, they look VERY solid. Too cold/dark to install after work. Perhaps this weekend.

I've been reluctant to post this... as I figured I'd be vilified... but the mileage meter in the panel works quite well for me. My wife also understood what it was doing after a couple of sentences of explanation. She's been happy with it ever since*. Leave the house with a big number; get on...

Looking at the apps available: 1) Dash Command is $50 in addition to the cable. Most, if not all, of the information shown on the screens in the app store is N/A to the Leaf. Things like fuel trim, transmission gear, engine RPM, and so forth. It might report on a few things that we'd find...

I happened to run into the rep, and he told/showed me how to "pop" it back in. Punch it in there very abruptly. And you are correct, this is all from the 2nd generation of the sleeve in the holster. Perhaps there will be a third gen.

I used the EvGo quick charger in front of the Walgreens at Belt Line Road and Dallas North Tollway for the first time today. Everything worked fine. By the way, I am on a 'plan' that is not (yet) on EvGo's website: Network Only. This is $19 initiation, $39 per month, and $99 early termination...

From the service manual: HOW TO ADJUST CELL CAPACITY During cell capacity adjustment, the capacity of each cell is estimated based on the no-load voltage when the system starts, and the capacities are adjusted so that they are all at the target level. The voltage of each cell is detected inside...

I wouldn't expect to see SOC change with temp, for the reasons measured in my prior post, Nissan is very likely holding back the max resting V to something safe for a cold pack, regardless of current temp. Also, realize that SOC is not something that can actually be measured. You can measure...

Yes, if you were to charge the battery to the max V at the lower temp, and charge it to a higher V when warmer. However... if you designed your battery management system to always charge to a V that allows the pack to be 'fully' charged and then cooled without harm, then you are always using...
