    In honesty though, I thought this would be a feature considering each new driver profile has it's own custom seat configurations but they have to be set from the previous driver profile's configurations. There should be a way to set a new driver profile and start your seat configurations from "Standard".

    You should consider installing a 5-20 outlet where your current 5-15 is. You’ll get 33% more energy. But, make sure your breaker and wiring can handle it - use an electrician. It’s still 120V but charges at 16A instead of 12A.

    2:03 instead of a 240 volt line, you can install two out of phase 120 volt outlets. Well, you just need one because you already have one there. So if HOA allows a 110 volt line, just wire in an out of phase outlet. They sell adapters that can plug into these two outlets to get 240 volts.

    You can change that 20 amp 120 volt outlet to a 20 amp 240 volt outlet. You just change the connector on one end and a 240 volt (double-pole) breaker on the other end. You can use the existing wiring. According to info on Tesla’s website, your charge rate will go from 4 mile/hour to 14 miles/hour. 240 volt charging is more efficient. Tesla offers a connector for 20 amp 240 volts for about $35. Everyone says you have to go to at least 32 amps of 240, that may be good, but not if it doesn’t work for you.

    This is technically true, but be extremely careful with this! Outlets are often daisy chained, so make 100% sure there is ONLY THE ONE outlet on that circuit or you'll blow up anything else connected and be in major NEC violation. As always, hire an electrician if you're messing with wires. If you do something incorrectly, your insurance company WILL NOT PAY for any resulting fires or damages!

    @@ThatTeslaChannel I've found different ratios regarding how fast charging dissipates while driving. I just finished a couple of trips more than 1,000 miles each. I take notes at each charge of how full the battery is at the start, and at the next charge, as well as the distance I've driven between each charge. I also note conditions. Going 75 mph uses more battery, just as a gas-powered car uses more gas at higher speed. Hot days mean A/C--again, more battery. Going up into the mountains means more battery as well.usage

I'm happy to answer this question though because the Tesla has a setting called cabin overheat protection that turns the AC on in the car to cool it down inside if it senses that the interior has risen above 105 degrees. Excellent feature that makes a noticeable difference in FL heat. Highly recommended!

    Hi Paul, thanks for asking! It's less of an issue and more of something to be aware of. When driving on the highway, at the speed limit, it takes more energy for the car to go 1 mile when compared to driving 45 miles per hour for example. What this translates to is if your destination is 100 miles away and you are driving on the highway, it will likely use about 200 miles of charge to get there. I hope that makes sense and helps clarify.

Elsewhere it is single phase, which is one 220v. A regular household 220v line will not give you max charging speeds unless it can handle a high amperage.

Some of us are a lot more mechanical than others and we would not be surprised by some of the things that you talked about. I understand that it is really difficult when you have do deal with an HOA and all of the rules that go along with it. I am fortunate to have my circuit breakers in my private garage and that there was space for a 50 amp breaker to install a NEMA14-50 outlet. Sometimes if you have a washer and a gas dryer in your garage you can buy a box that combines them into a 240 volt 20 amp outlet. You can utilize any two out of phase 120 volt outlets to make a 240 volt 15 amp outlet. Tesla sells an adapter for every one of those and more.
