I just received the Tesla software update version 2020.12.5 this afternoon. This update includes the Tesla Dashcam Viewer and Out of Order Supercharger Stalls. Cheetah Mode is also released in this version for Performance Model S and X vehicles, so I didn’t get it.
Back on February 14th Elon Musk Tweeted that all Tesla Model S and X vehicles made in “recent months” would be unlocked soon via another free, over-the-air update. This Tesla range update matches (or is close to) the new EPA ratings that are now advertised for these vehicles.
The SylvanSport GO, dubbed by National Geographic as the coolest camper ever! It can be used for Camper Mode, Gear Hauler Mode, and Utility Trailer Mode. They call it a Swiss Army Knife of camping trailers, just don’t expect a bathroom or kitchen.
For a while now I’ve heard about the $35K Off-Menu Tesla Model 3. There’s forum posts here and there about how to order it. Details of what features aren’t included, have been scattered. This video goes into great detail about what features are, and aren’t included. This “off-menu” offering is essentially the “Standard Range” model.
The first of the Tesla Model Y deliveries started on March 13th! Ryan Shaw has this video that dives into some of the features and details including various measurements.
In this article we’ll cover Tesla campground charging. Whether you’re using your Tesla to pull a camping trailer, you plan to camp in your Tesla, or you’ll be pitching a tent, why not charge your Tesla (or other electric vehicle) while you’re there? Depending on where you camp, you might be a good ways from Superchargers. Being prepared will keep you from getting stranded. Tesla campground charging will typically have a few options depending on what kind of utilities are offered where you camp. If you plan on camping at multiple locations with a Tesla, having a few different adapters with you makes a lot of sense. Your best bet will be to use a NEMA 14-50, but a TT-30 may be the only option. We’ll cover these and more. Read on…
Elon Musk just tweeted they are currently scouting locations for the Cybertruck Gigafactory. He mentions in will be central USA. Does that mean Texas based on a previous tweet from him? Tesla’s original plan was to start Cybertruck production for deliveries beginning in late 2021. It will be a tight turn around. They need to secure property, build a factory, and get everything up and running for manufacturing.
The Ontario Provincial Police Highway Safety Division posted this rendering of a Cybertruck Police vehicle as well as a Model X. There’s already a few police stations using the Model S as well as the Model 3 as part of their squad car fleet. The Cybertruck could prove to be the most versatile. I would vote the Cybertruck over the Model X for police use.
While dropping off our Tesla Model X for ceramic coating, there was already a black Model X in the shop getting a chrome delete and a matte finish clear wrap. The full blackout look gives a sleek look in my opinion.
Elon Musk posted a reply to Everyday Astronaut a couple days ago about how Tesla is currently tracking to release more Full Self Driving features later this month. Could we see self parking? More FSD visualizations? Enhancements with stoplights and stop signs? Cool, we’re tracking to release more FSD features later this month — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 4, 2020
