I have three 6V deep cycle batteries, each with a presumed bad cell (voltage ~4.4V charged). Can I combine them into one 12V battery and charge with a 12V charger? Thanks in advance, Barry -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Re: [EVDL] Why people dislike Tesla

I just call the local number for my SC. Usually an option in the menu for the service. Occasionally a tech or service center employee has texted/called me before the appointment to get additional information. In that case I've texted/called back to that number. Barry On Thu, May 26, 2022 at

Re: [EVDL] Why people dislike Tesla

We've had three Teslas beginning in 2013. Two different service centers. I wish I could say that I've never needed to use the service centers. But as an early adopter I was willing to accept some of the "quirks" of the car. The majority of issues have been minor and mostly plug and play repairs

Have you looked inside at the HV connections? Any scorching on the wires? I remember that with the original HPWC's people were mentioning that it was hard to seat and torque the larger gauge wiring sufficiently. Ended up with failed HPWC's and burnt wiring. Don't know if they fixed it with the

Re: [EVDL] Tesla Remotely Removed Autopilot Features from Used Model S After 'Audit'

The buyer of the car did not buy the vehicle from Tesla. He bought if from a third party. My understanding is that the car was either a trade in or buy back by Tesla. Tesla then sold the car at auction to a third party dealer. The dealer listed the car based on the original sticker features.
