Thread: Tesla’s traction control is next level. Not talking ESP / yaw control, although they do some interesting things I haven’t seen before, strictly talking wheel speed control Here’s why Tesla is different (btw BMW claims to now be doing this with their new platform EVs 👌)

Rotated and color corrected, I like this perspective more. Check out the shock wave from the SRB ignition!

@BLKMDL3 I’ve seen it twice

Have had this pop up everytime after I supercharge the past few days, anyone else?

if anyone is struggling to do laundry, same. But I’m doing some now so if it motivates you then do it with me rn 🫡 sort it, grab your soaps, and let’s go

To add: a friend of mine is borrowing my Rivian for a road trip right now. They work for a charging company and have pretty good EV knowledge but it’s their first big road trip. Every single EA site has caused a problem for their trip and SLC was completely offline

My prediction: 20% chance we’ll see this story change over the next year. I’m having plenty of issues with the new hardware too

Tesla North American Charging Standard supports up to 1 MW of power… and Bi-Directional Charging! 🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚗🚗🚗

Huzzah!

@Sofiaan @RideOnewheel @Tesla @turo I’ve gotta try yours! I’ve been thinking about it

Took me a while to jump on a @RideOnewheel, but now having done so, I’m addicted! It’s already been very helpful getting around when @tesla supercharging and w/ @turo drop offs. Also super fun!🤩⚡️🛞

@BLKMDL3 Wonder when the blue check will appear? I just did it too

Well there goes 8 bucks

@ShishirDhruva @BLKMDL3 I go up to Portland a few times a year, so I’ll probably meet you at some point. I’m enjoying my Model S so much, but my 3 was such a wonderful car. And obviously @BLKMDL3 loves it as well to take it cross country twice in a year!

@bookerc19 @BLKMDL3 I have M3LR (2021)and leasing it for 3 years. Plan to get MS after that. I drive on I-5 from Redding to the Bay Area

10,343 miles and 33 states later I’m back in California.

@ShishirDhruva @BLKMDL3 Would have been nice to meet you as well. I’ll start tweeting about my SC stops before or during them when I can! What do you drive?

@bookerc19 @BLKMDL3 Lol. I would have loved to meet you to say “hello” while in Redding at Turtle Bay SC.

Just completed a 10,500+ mile cross-country road trip in my 2019 @Tesla Model 3 for the second time this year. Drove through 33 US states and 2 Canadian provinces and once again had ZERO issues with the car or with #Tesla superchargers. What a blast, love this car! @elonmusk

Eager for a future of reliable non-Tesla charging solutions for others. This couple is traveling down from Vancouver, BC and said the trip had been “horrible” due to broken or slow chargers. This @ChargePointnet station in Redding wasn’t working for them either. @ElectrifyAm #EV

@brandonee916 Would love for it to carry over to other settings like autopilot, lighting, etc as well. Still a super cool feature.

Just tried the new Tesla Profile feature… it works! Now the driver profiles on my car are linked to various Tesla accounts and it syncs across the vehicles. Super impressive!

@afhallmd @BLKMDL3 @phibetakitten @jamesdouma Same, I’ve gotten great mileage out of the 19’s on my 2021 S

@BLKMDL3 @phibetakitten @jamesdouma My 19s are wearing perfectly on the Plaid at 11k despite mostly low suspension.

Video of the new Level Lock+ with Apple HomeKey in action with an iPhone and Apple Watch. Operates just like Apple Pay, but with express mode turned on, you don’t need to unlock the phone. #smarthome #smartlock #homekit #apple #levellock @levelhomeinc @Apple @MacRumors @9to5mac

It does appear that to use HomeKey, you must manually add the lock to HomeKit after setting up in the Level app, rather than auto-adding to HomeKit as part of the level app setup. I had to remove from HomeKit and re-add. @MacRumors @9to5mac @levelhomeinc #smarthome

Also, given the flipped orientation of the box’s back graphics, I’m wondering if these early units are misprints but were sent out out to meet the launch deadline? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just got the new Level Lock+, one of the 1st smart locks with Apple Home Key support allowing you to unlock the door with a tap of your phone (instead of using BT or Wifi). Available ONLY at physical Apple Stores Today! @MacRumors @Apple #smarthome #smarttech #homekit #levellock
