That's pretty crazy.

I saw that article after making my post here. I think those were all in New York, but I wouldn't be surprised if it spreads to other areas.

80,000 mile (128,750 km) update for my Sep 2021 SR+ LFP. The car is now 2 years 8 months old and was originally rated at 253 miles on a full charge. The Tessie app shows a battery capacity of 50.9 kWh (down 6.4% from my original Oct 2021 post of 54.6 kWh), and a max range of 236 miles (down 6.7%...

Glad this one made the cut before Tesla canned the whole Supercharger team today. Sounds like they at least plan to complete the Superchargers they already committed to building.

Just a heads up about Recurrent since they keep coming up. My '21 LFP had a starting range of 253 miles, and I noticed Recurrent was treating it like it was supposed to have a 263 mile range. I emailed them two years ago and got a response saying that they go by the window stickers for that...

That would be very abnormal. I'd try to take it to 100 percent on a level 2 charger and let it sit for a while.

I had dropped one percent within a couple months. I think what you're seeing right now is normal.

I don't know. It was a new guy, so maybe he just got confused.

75,000 mile (120,700 km) update for my Sep 2021 SR+ LFP. The car is now 2 years 5 months old and was originally rated at 253 miles on a full charge. The Tessie app shows a battery capacity of 51.1 kWh (down 6.4% from my original Oct 2021 post of 54.6 kWh), and a max range of 236 miles (down 6.7%...

I may be wrong, but I think you're the first Model Y LFP in this thread.

Just got an email from Tesla announcing these newly selected sites... North America Montebello, Quebec St. John's, NL Baie-Comeau, Quebec Renfrew, Ontario Aulds Cove, Nova Scotia Europe Bacău, Romania Deva, Romania Paks, Hungary Iași, Romania Békéscsaba, Hungary Asia Uljin County, South Korea...

I ordered one. I'd rather have something more sleek, but until someone makes a better option I'll try this one.

Hell yeah... thanks, I'll try it.

I can't speak for demand, but you've got one guaranteed purchase here. I installed your tinted side mirrors to help with blinding lights, but the rearview mirror is still a problem. Wouldn't need a full replacement mirror... just something that fits over the existing mirror.

Now do a tinted lens that fits over the rear view mirror.

I thought this might be the case. The Tesla website actually has $18,000 as the installed price, which seemed way too low...so somehow I found the $24,000 price on Reddit, which is sketch. Similar thing happened when I was shopping for solar. I got quotes from multiple local companies and when...

Great points...I need to ask if they're able to deal with powerwalls.

I've got a detached garage and I could put them in there. It's not heated/cooled though.

Good to hear, thank you. I placed an order for Tesla solar and powerwalls years ago, and didn't even realize the order is still on my account until recently. I wrote off Tesla solar and just went with a local company. My car has an LFP battery, and I like its characteristics so all other things...

Yeah, that was my headspace too, at least until I saw the huge price difference, LOL. I also like the idea of putting lfp batteries in my house, for safety reasons. I'm watching YouTube videos right now from people who got powerwalls. Customer service appears to be lacking, but I don't know if...

Probably no to all of those. It's a 2021 Model 3 and I use a Grizzl-E wall charger.

We want to add a battery backup to our solar system in 2024. I was pretty set on getting the Franklin LFP batteries, because I prefer to have LFP chemistry in the house, plus we had a good experience with that installer already. But after checking the costs of Tesla Powerwalls, it's making me...

70,000 mile (112,650 km) update for my Sep 2021 SR+ LFP. I missed the 65K mile update because I've been adding miles so quickly. The car is now 2 years 3 months old and was originally rated at 253 miles on a full charge. The Tessie app shows a battery capacity of 51.2 kWh (down 6.3% from my...

I'm sure people have done it, but I'm not sure they're looking at this thread. Google Maps shows the most efficient route for an EV is 204 miles. My SR+ has a shorter range than your RWD, and I wouldn't have much reservation making this trip on a nice (non-rainy) day. If you look at...

Got this email today. Branson is confirmed to be getting a Supercharger.

Thanks for the heads up. Gonna try to swing by on my home from work.

60,000 mile (96,600 km) update for my Sep 2021 SR+ LFP. The car is now 24 months old and was originally rated at 253 miles on a full charge. The Tessie app shows a battery capacity of 51.4 kWh (down 5.8% from my original Oct 2021 post of 54.6 kWh), and a max range of 238 miles (down 5.9% from my...

We have the same car except I've got nearly twice your mileage. My current range is 238 miles. So the difference of 31,000 vs 59,000 miles equals one single mile of range. Calendar degradation ftw.

Closest I see to teslabjorn is teslaband.

Temperate climate. I'm in Missouri, which is Temperate climate. I'm in Missouri near the center of the US. We are cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. Last winter was so warm here, though, that my lifetime efficiency actually dropped during our cold months.

55,000 mile (88,500 km) update for my Sep 2021 SR+ LFP. The car is now 23 months old and was originally rated at 253 miles on a full charge. The Tessie app shows a battery capacity of 51.5 kWh (down 5.7% from my original Oct 2021 post of 54.6 kWh), and a max range of 239 miles (down 5.5% from my...

Meanwhile, here in Missouri I get it almost daily.

I had to vote for Branson, Missouri, which is the place I've needed it most. It would split the distance between Springfield and Little Rock, which is a bit much for a lot of base EVs.

Go vote for Branson to get a supercharger! It's currently number one on the leaderboard. https://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting

I stopped at a hotel with a Tesla destination charger, and took my dog for a walk around town. Not ideal on a long trip, but at least my dog got to stretch her legs I guess. I voted for Branson in that poll based on my experience.

I've done a fair amount of road tripping in my Model 3 SR+, and so far the most inconvenient stretch was between Springfield, MO, and Little Rock, AR. Hard to believe that hasn't been split with a Supercharger in Branson yet.

Just saw on plugshare that someone added a supercharger at Wally's in Fenton along I44. I've used the CCS chargers there several times and it'd be a great place for a supercharger if true. https://www.plugshare.com/location/529252

Not sure if this helps, but I took a screenshot of the ScanMyTesla battery tab. It shows nominal full pack (when new) as 55.1, current nominal full pack as 51.9, and a 2.33 kWh buffer.

Right, I was mis-remembering that, thinking the NCA cars were 262 and we just got their leftover window stickers. Now that I think about it, there was a rumor that Tesla was going to software-unlock some of the buffer in the early LFP cars to increase the 253 mile range to 262 miles. That never...

My drive to and from work must be optimized for efficiency. About 15 miles doing 45-60 mph. Then another 35 miles on the freeway doing 65-70. Minimal stopping, outside just a few stoplights.

It's confusing, but the very first LFP cars sold in the US had a 253 mile range. These had to be claimed from inventory, but couldn't be configured on the website. They were delivering these at the same time they were delivering the nickel cars with a 262 mile range, so I've oddly got a window...

50,000 mile (80,000 km) update for my Sep 2021 SR+ LFP (though I'm a little late, and the car is closer to 51k miles). The car is now 20 months old and was originally rated at 253 miles on a full charge. The Tessie app shows a battery capacity of 51.8 kWh (down 5.2% from my original 23 Oct 2021...

Mostly I'm charging between zones 3 and 4, or between 4 and 5 on that chart.

Not really for level 2 charging, but yes for level 3 fast charging. It's similar to any EV in that regard.

I've been driving without the aero covers for the last week, because I broke on of the clips. I've got a new one coming tomorrow, but I've noticed about a 15 watt hour per mile penalty without them.

On the bright side, I'm going to have to fork out a bunch of money for a new car way before you do.

I use the same thing on my side mirrors. Those are better than the stock auto dimming mirrors IMO. So it's mostly the rearview mirror I have a problem with now.

I hadn't considered that it might be specific to my car, so I'll do that thanks. I do think you're right about my eyes being sensitive...I wear blue blocking glasses at night to cut down on glare and that's on top of the pretty serious tints on windows all the way around. Still, I wish I could...

I know I'm just an old man yelling at clouds, but my biggest complaint about my Model 3 has always been the auto-dimming mirrors. They work okay when they're turned on, but they're always on when I need them. They turn off way too early in the morning--at dawn but still when everyone's got their...

Wow, that's a lot bigger difference than I would've guessed.
