Amarillo > Clayton > Trinidad > Monument > Breckenridge, I think I can also charge in CO springs, Denver and Silverthorne before Breckenridge. My problem is going to be charging in Breck, where there are no superchargers.

I am planning on driving my model 3 from Austin to Denver to Breckenridge CO on a ski trip. Looks like the Tesla route planner is taking us through Amarillo, Trinidad, Puablo, CO springs, Denver and to Breckenridge. In cold driving conditions does the model 3 accurately calculate charging times...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will be driving in wet/snowy condition and higher elevation. Austin TX to Denver CO, and better handling is higher priority over 2% or so efficiency that I might get. Looks like 45 psi is the max recommended pressure, and I could probably do ok at 42psi.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes my M3 has FSD, so I am counting on that making the Austin - salina - denver doable in one shot. I was considering staying the night in salina if we get too tired. This is my 1st trip to Denver in a non-ice and 1st road trip in a Tesla. Previously (2002-2008) we...

Model 3 LR Aero 2020. Plan on driving from Austin to Denver end of December a week before Christmas, and plan to do it non stop. I will have wife and 3 kids as passengers. Should I do the amarillo to trinidad route or should I drive up through kansas? I am a little nervous about the raton pass...

I am considering over inflating tires to 50lbs for an upcoming road trip from Austin to Denver. First, is there an advantage and will it get me better milage? Second, anyone done this road trip and had any issues with range etc? This will be my first long trip in the model 3.

Correction: My charge limit is set to 90% not 80% like I mentioned before. Sorry about that. Now the math makes more sense.

I have FSD and I had to toggle the switch under Autopilot to chime. It chimes sometimes and not all the time, especially if you are on the left turn lane waiting for signal to change green while the other lanes are already green, there is no chime. I thought this would work, and I got honked at...

I have set my charging limit to 80%, my car starts charging at 2AM (for best rate) and usually is done by 6AM (60A gen3), and my range usually displays along side the battery 272. I have the "let me know if the door is open feature" toggled so if the door was opened I think the car would have...

I just turned the climate from "auto" to "off" and the fan noise went away. I will update here if I still see the battery drain.

You might be on to something.. I just checked and there is some fan running, I can hear it when I get close to the windshield. Definitely some thing is running while it is parked ( I think asleep ).

The car was parked .. and since I posted the question the battery has drained from ~250 miles to 180miles .. there seems to be a rapid discharge of the battery. Does anyone else see this with the new firmware upate? This started to happen only after I upgraded the firmware to 2020.36 last night.

After installing the latest phone wear update I noticed that after my car charges fully to 80% (270mi) It loses charge and by noon it is at 250. Has anyone else noticed this type of battery drain after upgrading to the latest firmware??

It would be nice to have Tesla enable a voice command, "I am being pulled over", to use the cabin camera and other cameras to record the interaction with law enforcement.

I have had the Tesla only since Feb and the previous hands free experience I had was with Android Auto and Tesla's voice commands and phone integration really needs a lot of work. Rather than adding more useless games I wish they focus more on the user experience of this interface. Like vision...
