    ^^ for those who haven't gotten their Tesla yet, the car will precondition the battery (stop cooling it so it can warm up to a more optimum charging temp) when you put the supercharger in the navigation as the destination and drive there. If you just show up to the supercharger without putting it in the nav, the car doesn't know it needs to precondition the battery.

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    for the record:

    I wax once a year with Nu-Finish. it works that good.

    I wash with Ajax diswashing liquid.

    I bead all year. ALL DAMN YEAR.

    I wax the cars every Memorial weekend.


    the worst are those faddy car wash places that spray bullshit wax all over your car & WINDSHIELD! yet, all the starbucks people use them all the time. buncha lazy bastards. Wall-E is moving in on us!


    As I've said before - I work in dustville. Nu-Finish is the bomb.


    ex:
    I had a small fender bender in my '96 4R, when it was 10yrs old. the body guy asked if I had the 4R repainted....because the paint was in such good condition.

    Beauty is only skin deep. There's a very dark side to become sustainable. At what cost? The hypocrisy is deafening.

    NOPE! I do my two bucket wash, with graphene shampoo (I coated mine) and usually add detail spray as a drying aid after.
    I would go nuts if my vehicle was dirty daily

    If I remember right, you have enough room in the garage for a detail bay too. :drool:

    That's the plan, my friend! A lot of detailing in the future! Just need to finish 1 zillion house projects before the garage becomes a priority.

    I believe Tesla makes sure that cobalt used in their batteries is sourced reliably. Slave labor cobalt mining is no different than blood diamond mining so it makes sense to mention the child labor cobalt mining issue. Not to would be crazy in a sense. Not down with using kids for slave labor to provide cobalt used in any type re-chargeable lithium ion whether for EV's or anything else. Most folks aren't aware of this and should be.

    I agree, Tesla wouldn't want any part of that PR nightmare.
    People should be hung by their balls and rot for life if they use slave/kid labor.

    It's funny to me that we post about how the cybertruck can withstand machine gun fire, but then other folks are talking about buying Tigi BedHead Mega Nutrient Shampoo w/caramelized graphene speckles to keep the paint shiny and water bubbly on the surface :poking:
