The AirTags last a long time, but the little battery is officially good for a year. However I have a log file of the battery life and they are more like two years. Replacing the battery takes about 30 seconds. Note that the original AirTags did NOT have a replaceable battery, but Apple...

Bummer! Glad no one was hurt. I would be looking at another Lightning if mine were totaled...

Really? I wonder why.

Just the fact that Tesla has opened up their network and the greatly expanded number of other DCFC locations has made it far easier. And it will only get better. Obviously there are places that don't have much coverage and more detailed planning is needed. All of that should be done in...

Google it for the procedure. Multiple videos with instructions. Essentially you open it up and remove the speaker. Not hard to do. Note that doing so is not just to make it hard for someone to find your AirTag, the beeping can be really annoying. For example, I have one in my laptop bag...

I'm a pilot, so planning (in advance) fuel stops is just part of the trip planning. I would never get into airplane and just fly till I'm low and fuel and then figure out where to stop for fuel. Don't do that driving either. My next currently planned road trip is not till January. I already...

So, use the Tesla app to find Tesla chargers. Done. Exactly. I paid for a month for two road trips in October and let it die. I'll activate it for the next road trip.

As I said in a different thread a few days ago, I have played very little with the Ford Nav. However I poked at it for a while 5 days ago. The display of Tesla chargers was a joke. Only one of the five nearby Tesla SC locations showed at all. The one E.A. station did but the EVGo did not...

Agreed that a Club is not 100% effective. The pros know how to defeat them, but the casual thief will just look for something easier. It's a very visual deterrent.

Nope. It was cloudy here. Nice pic however.

2: I have a Apple Air Tag (with the beeper defeated) hidden in my truck 4: I have one. Use it if I consider it to be higher threat.

I have noticed that when I disconnect, the FCSP does go through some lights that indicate a reboot essentially - sorry I don't remember exactly, but I looked it up shortly after I installed my FCSP. I will try to remember to look at it tomorrow morning after it's charge tonight and verify what...

At least on my 24 Flash, but the driver screen and 15" center screen have a "Calm mode". In both of those cases, the calm mode reduces the stuff on the display, but does not turn it off.

I stand corrected. I did not know there was a specific contact cleaner version of WD-40. I was assuming that the original poster was incorrectly referring to normal WD-40 as a "contact cleaner".

Incorrect. Regardless if you use 1P or 2P, once the vehicle speed gets slow enough, it MUST fade in friction brakes. The reason is there simply is not enough momentum to be able to create much electricity from the motors when they are acting as a generator. As I said, I have watched the brake...

One of the fields that can be watched with CarScanner is brake system pressure. Regen braking does not cause brake system pressure to go up. Only friction braking does. Having watched it, I can assure you that unless you hit the brake pedal fairly hard, that pressure does NOT go up until you...

In my opinion, the issue with 1PD is that it is different than every other car we've ever driven and any other car we might drive (borrowed car, rental, other family member's car, etc). If every car used 1P mode, it would be fine - but the vast majority of cars don't. I don't want to have...

No, it does not blank the displays. I would not want them blanked because I always leave the truck in silent mode and that would mean I have to turn it on and off every time I get in and drive. I would like to be able to completely turn them off. Calm mode reduces the light, but does not turn...

I would not recommend it. WD-40 is not a contact cleaner.

I have an assorted collections of extension cords in various wire size and length. Most of the decision on what to use depends on current and needed length. I keep a 14 AWG 50 foot cable in the truck all the time which is plenty for most uses. When I went out for my Peak to Peak bike ride...
