    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Plaid 0-100 is not 3.5-4 seconds lol. 4.2 was quoted for the non-existent roadster. Plaid 0-100 is around 5 seconds. EDIT: I’m wrong. It’s quoted at 4.3 seconds.

    Highland Range

    Also coming from a 2021 LR owner, highland seems to get its “rated” range at a higher wh/mi, which is good. My car has that rated line at 220wh/mi, which is completely unachievable in most cases. Yours seems to be around the 240wh/mi mark, which is definitely achievable! Thanks new EPA testing!

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    Overall, I’m not particularly happy with the degradation. As an aspiring engineer, it’s something I just am going to think about and notice. I’ve always kept my car in % mode as the miles is completely useless. I’m going to unfortunately have to baby the performance I have on order as I don’t...

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    267 miles, 86 %. Charged the car to 100% today and it said 318 miles. Again, this number has fluctuated for me in the past slightly so I’m not confused as to why it’s off by a bit. Further, a percent is actually quite a large “window” to be in. 267 at the bottom of 86% vs the top of 86% can...

    Did the energy screen calculation. Got 69.23 KWh. Worse than I would want, but not terrible.

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    Thank yall so much for the encouragement. The way I learned to do battery degradation was from (I think) the YouTuber Bjorn who does the classic 100 to 0 like I did (admittedly with some fancy equipment). The miles number at 100 percent fluctuates (as is normal) so I am reluctant to rule trust...

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    Never done the energy screen method. This is from driving 100% to 0. I will do this too and report back. If the degradation is truly this high, that would be really disappointing. I have a new performance 3 on order but I am keeping this LR as well. I’m definitely going to baby the pack in the...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    Drove past 0, but would never drive until the car stops moving. There are not enough chargers around for that.

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    It was 90 when they recommended that. Immediately switched to 80 when they changed their recommendation.

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    This is not the right way to calculate degradation. You have to actually drive the car 100% to zero percent (you could also just use 50% of the battery and double it, but this is less accurate) and see how many kWh you pulled. My car (the one discussed above with extreme degradation) still says...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    I guess it’s just bad luck. Who knows. The only thing that could possibly explain it is that I don’t have a garage and park outside. It’s coastal North Carolina so it’s not extreme or anything. It sucks but oh well. Hopefully it stops declining more. The weird thing is at some point, would it...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    You do not have 78.8 KWh of actual usable capacity. In the absolute best case when the car was brand new you had around 75 KWh. Further, you have to take into account degradation. For example: My car is a 2021 LR 3. It has the very slightly smaller battery than yours, usable capacity when new...

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    Exactly. I bought a long range. My car should not have equivalent to standard-range range after just 3 years of regular use. And to the point of above 80%, yes I am absolutely willing to use it, but 80% is what is “recommended” (it used to be 90%, who knows what happened there). Charging over...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    They are realizing that hard-coding actually works in some scenarios. Now that they can no longer hard-code chuck's turn, they have to actually train a car that is "smart" enough to complete it the right way. In a scenario like this, the latter is the much more difficult method for producing...

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    A bit of a rant, a bit of a question, and a bit of discussion. Tesla is in denial about battery degradation. Just the other day, on Jay Leno discussing the new model 3, Lars (the head vehicle engineer) completely dismissed Jay's genuine question about battery degradation. He stated something to...

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    The key word here is HW4. I think it has infrared cameras on the side rearward facing ones. My HW3 Model 3 continuously thinks one of those cameras is blocked or blinded.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Main problems with 12.3.4 from an original 10.2 tester(this is on the highway and these problems have been here for a while, so yes, this isn’t really V12, but hear me out) 1. FSD follows ridiculously far on the highway. In heavy traffic doing around 60 mph in the left lane, you can’t leave a...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    There is so much out already why don’t they just freaking release it? If the are worried that people won’t get their cars for a bit that is dumb - it hasn’t stopped them in the past.

    By the looks of it on X, Chuck's left turn seems to be yet another fail. It doesn't even use the median at all.

    I sure hope so. I love it on my current car and don’t know if I need the full on performance.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Does anyone else find the follow distance FSD uses on the highway make it essentially unusable during busy times? Average has an insane follow distance. In moderate (fast moving) traffic here in NC, it is expected that you follow quite closely to the car ahead to keep traffic flowing. FSD...

    Gates never worked for me except 11.4.9 (really roughly but at least it stopped). Looking forward to trying 12 when I get it.

    Highland top speed reduced…

    Very much agree. I don’t care nearly as much about top speed as I do acceleration boost. Only reason to have higher top speed in the US is pure bragging rights. In Germany it’s actually useful/needed. Acceleration boost you can actually feel on a daily basis.
  31. D

    Highland top speed reduced…

    Yeah lol. Can you get the speed back if you put some decent performance tires on there? Also to note, they removed acceleration boost as well. Why would they do this? Really disappointed and makes me not really want to upgrade my current LR with acceleration boost to this new LR. Lower top...

    Does the highland LR have the option of acceleration boost?

    Well this is disappointing. Especially when I want to buy now but the performance/ludicrous won’t be out for a while. I definitely don’t want a slower car.

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Summary - nobody’s getting V12 for a while. Go on about your lives and check in in a week or so. A stupid decision by Tesla to release the most significant update in FSD history to a random selection of people has ruined it for the rest of us.
  34. D

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    Never mind. Just found it. Also read an interesting comment on the video. Of ALL the versions to release first to the small OG tester group (chuck, dirty Tesla, AI driver, etc.) this was the version to do so. This is by far the most significant change in the build, and they (seemingly randomly...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    It's such BS that they took away the USS so early. It's been forever since they did this and people are still getting cars without basic summon. It's crazy frankly.

    FSD Beta v11.x

    The map data they use is utter trash. They need to get a better partner for map data if they are going to use it at all for FSD. Surprisingly, Apple Maps consistently gives better routes than whatever Tesla uses. Tesla follows the routes that google maps does, so either they are pulling from...

    2023 S/W Holiday Update

    Hmmm. No I do think they use google for routing to some degree. There are multiple, specific routing errors in my local area that google maps and google maps alone makes. Hop in the Tesla, and it also makes these same routing errors. Apple Maps, Waze (which is interesting since they are owned by...

    Elon: FSD Beta tweets

    What does this mean though? You can already do this in some way. How is this any different than regular auto park. This is very different than the “reverse summon” we were promised. Doesn’t actually sound that cool tbh.

    Does the highland LR have the option of acceleration boost?

    What the title says. I’m in the US and just pre-planning on weather I will want to wait for a performance or not. I got acceleration boost on my LR 3 and now am spoiled😂.

    Ok this is really weird. I had the update pushed to my car. I wasn’t on WiFi so it wasn’t downloading. I moved the car closer to the router and it started downloading. I then left town for the day and came back to no sign of the update whatsoever. “Your car software is up to date as of xxx...

    And not even today really (Disney+). You are buying a car that could have features taken away. Kinda insane and awful for customers and investors.
