Looking at each vehicles specs, capabilities etc it seems the S LR is the better performer. Why doesn’t the LR S qualify for the same badging as the new 3P? Looking forward to some side by side track tests.

We just completed a 2K mile trip from southern IL to southern MD via I-64 (May 9th - 14th) and given all the drama surrounding the SuperChargers we always had a wee bit of angst in our minds as we approached a charging stop. But it turns out it was for naught. Except on one leg, we departed...

Thanks. It's good to hear the MX folks are still on the job.

UPDATE: On May 13th we stopped there on our return trip from Maryland, the only facilities NOT OPEN are the handicapped stalls in the restrooms, the fountain drink dispenser, and the Drive-Thru window. SuperChargers working, I arrived with 12% and saw 254 kWh before tapering, three Teslas...

Has the site been repaired yet given all the drama surrounding the status of the "SuperCharger Team"? The last update on PlugShare was back on May 5th when someone reported 18 of the 19 stalls had been vandalized. https://www.plugshare.com/location/562380

So confused, the new Model 3 Performance has a badge that looks like the PLAID badge yet it's referred to as "LUDICROUS". But it's not called the "LUDICROUS", and in the Drive Mode selector the max performance mode is called "INSANE". So what is the new Model 3 named: Performance, Ludicrous...

We just completed another 2K mile trip to visit the grandkids, here is that data: Current Drive: Mt Vernon IL to Home (had to stop for BIO break and did not charge) Since Charge: Haubsdadt IN to Home Trip A: Southern IL to southern MD and return FYI, I have a 2022 MYP with 18" tires/wheels...

No, no need, but don't recall what I charged to to and remember this is in southern Illinois aka FLAT LAND.

Can’t you buy a “Tax Credit Edition” X LR for about $72K today? That seems like a bargain these days.

Going to send TSportLine a note asking the same question. I have their 18's on my 2022 MYP and it created an entirely new vehicle. The two BIGGEST improvements are FASTER and MORE EFFICIENT than running the OEM 21s. I bet that will apply to the new M3P. As soon as I hear back from...

I do and it had NO new current data. The last checkin was a couple of days earlier, on the 11th. I submitted my post announcing the closure shortly there after to try and help others. So it was a GLITCH in Tesla’s system.

I GOOGLED and just saw this So a “ghost message”. Now I know to compare Nav Screen anomalies with the phone app. Who knew?

We were headed home and enroute to the Lewisburg WV SuperCharger at 1 pm on May 13th, when my wife acting as my co-Pilot asked why the RED SuperCharger icon was GRAY. I asked her to tap on it to view its note page and she said it says it’s TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. After trying a few things at...

Given that non-Tesla's can charge does Tesla now account for a non-Tesla as taking TWO spots and adjust the stall available accordingly?

Sadly I fear some disgruntled former employees are considering similar acts as retribution. I hope not, but folks do stupid things when angry.

About 18 months ago Tesla quietly improved the Lexington KY site, it was originally 8 V2 stalls when they added 12 new V3 and StarLink. BINGO we have a 20-stall station. This was taken on Dec 27th, 2023 on our way home. Since then we have visited that site two more times and there has NEVER...

So new installs are still occurring? Given all the news lately, I feared the worst.

This thread will be fun to revisit a year from now. And see who was right?

Personally I would like about another 50 miles of range before anything else all things being equal. 450 EPA rated miles is easily 350 in average conditions. I could complete our 990 mile road trips with just two charging stops which would also be meal time. So I’m more interested in a...

So nobody else can build and maintain DCFC stations?

We depart on May 9th on a 2K trip to visit our grand kids in Maryland. We’ve made this trip 10 times, stopping at the same 5 SCer’s. I’m 72 and a disabled vet, my wife is 71. While the car requires a minimum of 5 charging stops we use other stations for Bio breaks, so under any circumstances...

Seems to me all the other DCFC manufacturers/companies will want to chase all that NEVI money and given the NACS connector is now the standard doesn't that mean that any new station built by these folks be essentially Tesla SuperChargers albeit without the sexy Tesla equipment and logo. They...

Can someone define "entire team" as reported in the media? Is the factory that manufactures the hardware in NY still operating, and are the folks that install and maintain them still on the payroll? The monitoring is probably automated. So who got fired?

Any small tire repair shop can easily and cheaply do it. A USAF buddy who is disabled did that while he had his tires rotated. I've read Tesla is now using something similar on new "Performance" vehicles. My 2022 MYP has factory-painted calipers and not covers. Is this true?

Troubling if true, and wonder what the ultimate plan is? We have been toying with upgrading to a new S or even X but news like this gives us pause. I'm 72 and can't afford to make a $70K mistake.

THANK YOU, SIR: That was far more information than I ever hoped. I had stumbled on everything you outlined but it wasn't as neat and organized as your response. I asked what time is it and you built me a watch. I can't thank you enough. I copied and saved this. I live in the St Louis area...

I know the SuperChargers are operational but have the restrooms at the Mach-1 gas station been repaired and reopened? Thanks

How do you know if NEVI funding funded a site? Is there a rollout plan or will it be WILLY NILLY.

I live in the mid-west, and SUMMER tires are not the tire of choice. I hope ALL SEASON tires are available before winter. And maybe in a 19 or even 18. I replaced the 21" tires/wheels on my 2022 MYP with some 18s from TSportLine and am hoping something similar is available for the new 3P or...

The TESLA letters look great but are a PITA to work around when detailing. They snag everything.

We have owned 2 Y’s since 2020 and am thinking of moving UP to a LR X, but I keep reading horror stories of the rear tires being destroyed much earlier than “normal” cars (like our Y) and needing to replace them far earlier. Can a simple alignment “fix” it? I really don’t want to have to have...

Sadly you are correct. It wasn't in the "Feature Details" tab where this info is usually posted. I do wish Tesla would select one method to state this number vs the cars WITH vs WITHOUT. Thanks for correcting me.

Any update on the status of the Mach-1 gas station, last update from 2 weeks ago mentioned the restrooms were still closed. We are traveling and this is one of our main stops en route to Maryland.

Replace the lead weight 20s for from lighter 18s and you recover most of the lost range and the car is faster. That's what I did with our 2022 MYP. I replaced the 21s with some 18s from TSportLine. It's like a different car. I wonder what this means for the future Model Y? And I noticed...

They just did and folks minds are about to be blown when you see the price AFTER the $7500 tax credit. And the ZERO to SIXTY time is WITHOUT the 1-ft rollout. So 2.9 is 2.9. The old M3P's 3.1 is closer to 3.2 or even 3.3.

We have been considering trading to a Model S LR from our 2022 MPY. I have been able to compare a friends 2022 LR S directly to my 2022 MYP whenever the mood strikes and while we love the Y (this is our second Y) the S is a more more sophisticated, “buttoned down”, it just feels MORE...

We've owned two Model Y's since 2020, and we enjoyed them immensely. We take 4 long road trips per year (2K miles) to visit our grandkids. And while we never experienced any issues with charging or range anxiety, we think the LR S would allow us to pick and choose or skip stops at will. Plus...

I’m thinking of trading from a 2022 MYP that I swapped the staggered 21s for 18s squared from TSportLine. Love the change. So if/when I buy an X this is what I’m doing...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I have read many times that the "miles" displayed on the battery ICON is simply a math formula - packs voltage multiplied by some "fixed" number the EPA uses? So what will cause the pack voltage to fluctuate, the temperature at the time of measurement, and any real...

My 5-day-old 2022 MPY died in my garage with 500 miles on it. Turns out it was a bad batch of a wiring harness (pins in a cannon plug were damaged). I was told it affected a few hundred cars. Due to a comedy of errors it took 8 days to get it fixed. But they did give me a Model X P90D with...

I ran mine for 2 years here in St Louis (HOT and HUMID summers) only when they started smelling bad did I request a Tech to change them. He came, cleaned/changed them, and when I received the bill/receipt it showed I owned NOTHING. I have always wondered why they did that and I can only...

Our 2022 MYP will be 2 years old come Aug 25th, 2024. We want an X. But am "HOPING" for the following updates. 1. Real Surround View (being 72 we need all the help we can get in tight parking spaces) 2. LFP batteries 3. V2H charging 4. Rear seat armrest on 5 seater like the S 5. Powered...

Wouldn't the weight of the vehicle also provide some clue on battery size?

Never heard of them, who makes them and from where?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was told years ago that the mileage displayed by the battery icon is essentially a MATH FORMULA. Tesla takes the pack's VOLTAGE and multiplies it by some FIXED number that was agreed upon with the EPA. That number is FIXED the only thing that changes over time is...

Sadly the media like politicians operate under a similar standard today - don't let a good crisis go to waste. Call it TDS "Tesla Derangement Syndrome".

Unless you can SELF-FUND expensive repairs I'd pass on a pre-owned EV no longer under manufacturer warranty. But that's just how I think. Looking at the Tesla Pre-Owned site, they are selling pre-owned Teslas a greatly reduced prices and all are under warranty. I saw an M3 LR with 19" wheels...

What exactly will the Front Camera display IF/WHEN implemented? Just a front view or will it be knitted to the other cameras for a Surround View? Also given Tesla's All-In approach to Tesla Vision you'd think they would add a "few" more cameras to enhance and complete how the car sees and...

I have a MYP with TSportLine wheels but when I owned our 2020 LR Y I would have bought these covers in a NY minute. Aside from the looks they are Made In The USA.
