I did a 240 mile roundtrip 2x a week in my old 75D that had a 259mi range at the outset. Put in well over 100k miles on it then sold it last year for a 2023 LR . It was a great long range commuter. Even basic autopilot was plenty enough for me, with FUSC and 7c/kWh at home, I had very low fuel...

They're two different cars in different categories. Few people cross shop between them. I came from an e39 540i MTech to my first Model S when that was the only Tesla selling, and loved it. When it became time to replace it, the same color in the newer version was really the only thing I had...

Used this site during a quick pit stop back from Tahoe last weekend. It was among the few that weren't fully subscribed in the Sunday evening rush. Great location next to the premium outlets, fantastic charging speed and therefore good turnover rate.

I don’t think it’s the ambient conditions. Across multiple trips from Cupertino to Incline Village or Reno, our one stop option is Soda Springs or Truckee Soaring Way. I’ve arrived at both late evening in the snow with 10% left and Truckee charges like a bat out of hell, while Soda Springs...

That’s putting it mildly but the powder on the slopes today is worth it !

Same problem with charging speed for me at this SC on two Tahoe trips . Including last night in the weekend travel chaos around chain control and the snow piled up making some stalls inaccessible. To the guy in the white MS last night at 1030pm tugging so hard on the cable as to almost destroy...

Not sure if it helps but I’m on basic autopilot and the Advanced software update toggle setting as opposed to the standard one . Maybe it gets scheduled differently if you’re on EAP or FSD . I’ve gotten software updates multiple times this year already .

That’s the right app version. When I got the first S, it was the only Tesla model around in any significant number, ignoring the Roadster. It was a nice friendly community and everything. Now though... I live in dread of someone coming and asking me why my car doesn't look like a regular Model 3.

Received the new software update tonight. I’d been wondering why my Sept 2023 build with HW4 didn’t get the UWB phone key feature and voila, it shows up in this update. Needs the up to date phone app. It only showed me the upgrade option on the app when I toggled Bluetooth off and back on.

Drove up to Tahoe again last weekend. We faced the huge snowstorm at the Donner summit, which thinned out traffic to almost nothing . Once again, the car performed great - the tires seemingly got better after a few minutes over snow. The wheel wells tend to accumulate a lot of muddy snow though...

Great to hear that. I'm definitely surprised how much better the car is than what I thought were pretty well grounded expectations after owning an older S. This is definitely a very different car in cold weather and high altitude conditions.

Drove from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe this past ski week with the family and 2 small/medium size dogs and a bunch of cold weather gear (sleds etc). Here's a quick review of the experience. tl;dr - the car did extremely well with both hill driving to altitude (8200ft) and weather (15 degree...

The current burgundy as well we the prior two generation (green and yellow) stickers run through Sept 30 2025. That's a fair bit of time. https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/fact-sheets/current-clean-air-vehicle-decal

CAV decals appear to take 3 months to process. 9/2023 purchase, got plates first week of October and applied, got burgundy stickers last weekend. I expected to get the hideous green ones but am happy I got burgundy.

Ambient lighting ? I wish they'd just let us display the trip card and other features that used to be possible to show on the fronl dash, not on the main display. They've curtailed the set of information that could previously be shown on the front dash. It's a sign that even spending on S/X...
