I have the GarageSmart AirDrop and am very happy with it. Mounts on the ceiling and pairs with a phone app. I have presets in the app for my wife's car, my CT4's winter and summer wheel sets and our bikes. Like most consumer level compressors, the gauge is not very accurate. I have a Jaco...

Two L2/L3 capable charge ports, one NACS, one CCS Undo the J1 II's angular wedge scoops from the front bumper on Turbo+. More widely available ST variants Non pano / solid roof option for CT/ST Expanded camera system: fully integrated front and rear view dash cam, digital side and rear view...

Geeking out on this a bit more. Turns out truckers / RV / overlanding enthusiasts are using stuff like this: https://kingconnect.com/king-extend-go-multi-use-portable-cell-signal-booster/ If I really wanted to go nuts on this I suppose I could rig a 12V battery and stick the antenna in my...

It's probably not worth the retrofit, but IMO worth the option on a new build. I shall link to my boilerplate answer to this perennial question. 2.5 years on in my case, the most practical benefit is short notice charging to 100% for rapid turnaround or unexpected long trips. I'd prefer to be...

Just wrapping a ski vacation where my Taycan was valet parked in an enclosed garage in an area with very poor cellular coverage. It was a PITA not being able to monitor battery SOC since the parking attendants were managing the charging of EVs in their care. There was wifi available but of...

I'm not at Brewster to be able to test this, but by recentering the search and manually selecting Brewster, there is language "Undock and choose post number" and "press and hold the button on the handle for 2 seconds to unlock the adapter". So sounds like MagicDock is still in play but the...

I did exactly that and the subsequent empty search results for a known MagicDock site was part of what prompted my post.

From past Magic Dock charging experiences, IIRC there was a dedicated flow in the context of having a CCS vehicle that caused the MagicDock to unlock instead of only releasing the NACS connector. Perhaps that still happens at the moment of initiating charge but the app experience seems to have...

Anybody used the Tesla App to locate/initiate charging via the CCS Magic Dock in recent days? The app experience for searching has changed. Now it's asking to enter vehicle make/model (Porsche is not an option) whereas Ford, VW and other models are. Entering model as VW ID.4 and searching for a...

I have charged at Brewster NY with the MagicDock. 150kW 😀. You need to have the Tesla App to initiate charge so best to have that already installed and set up with a method of payment.

Don't extend on the (wall) supply side, find a high quality extension cable for the power delivery side that is rated at or above the amperage of your EVSE (charger) and UL/CE safety certified or equivalent for your region. It's still better (safer) to get an EVSE where the supply and charging...

Preheating while not connected to a power source is going to consume an amount of energy from the HV battery proportional to the current-to-target temperature deltas for both the HV battery and cabin, plus the consumption from heating the steering wheel and seat(s). This total is going to vary...

Regarding #2, I purchased a single GoJak wheel dolly to avoid popping a hernia when aiming+lifting each wheel onto the lug bolts. For the folks with ceramic brakes, you might be glad of a tool like that to help with lifting the wheels off too. Regarding #3 I use a TruStack dolly for vertical...

Even in a moderate climate like the UK with rare snow, I would not want to be emergency braking on summer tires at 0°C ambient. Consider safety before performance. If you want to stick to NF0, go like @f1eng and order the car on 21" summers and buy a separate 20" wheel set with winter tires...

Lots of changes in the MY25 but also a fair bit of tech carried over from MY24. If I were considering buying, I'd wait to see how the first 6 months of MY25 recall volume looks and then place an order timed for a build after the summer factory retooling. Allocations might not allow for that, but...

@BeagleRott Now we all want to hear what happens when you go back to that SA with the MY25 announcement.

The Cross Turismo is dead? Long live the Cross Turismo!

Thanks @KLHubb - I forgot about the sedan roofbars, oops! I was actually referring to the roof bars for the Cross Turismo fitted with roof rails. Those particular bars are steel clamps directly on to aluminum bars - it's quite barbaric!

AFAIK He hasn't done an all-out hypermiling attempt in a current generation Taycan, but did do his 'standard' 70mph range test on the ideal Taycan for range: RWD high capacity battery 19" aero wheels - that hit 293 miles. He had an order in for a GTS Sport Turismo but cancelled it. In the...
