Done several long trips in M3 since 2018. Planning a 3+ week trip now for May! Use A Better Route Planner, and Tesla route planner, to layout trip. Figure what we want to see and do along the way, then general areas where stopping for the night makes sense. If hotel in the area has EV charger...

Just completed a round trip cross country drive in Model 3 during the Covid-19 situation (had to go pick up child from closing university and bring them home). Very light traffic, good weather, appreciated the high cleanliness at hotels we stayed at, no SC issues encountered. One bright spot on...

Supercharged here today and a local recommended Lum’s BBQ up the road (Main St) across the highway a quick 2 minute drive away. They were open and, due to Covid-19 situation we got takeout - outstanding BBQ and sides. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Planning to visit NO at the end of March. Haven't been back since I graduated from college (pre-Katrina) so looking forward to it. Surprised to sees few Tesla destination charger opportunities and staying at a hotel in the Garden District that does not have ev charging. Guess if people need to...

2B, 4A and 4B not working during our visit today - people had nicely wrapped the charging cables around top of unit to signify out of order. PS read through thread and noticed a couple years back someone was NOT staying at the hotel, stopped to charge and took advantage of the free guest...

Thanks for prompt responses. We did get a spot at RGV RV park, one of only two left when we called last week. And I know what the Fort Davis RV place website says, just was wondering if anyone had any actual experience there regarding hookups. Never tried “camping” in the M3 before and not...

So great to hear recent reports of trips on here. Driving back to Phoenix from east coast and want to swing down to Big Bend Nat’l Park for a quick visit. One night, end of October, driving with full charge from Marfa (staying at hotel with destination charger) to Rio Grande RV park (“camper...

Will be in Asheville, NC overnight next week then need to continue on to Newport News, VA. Unexpected trip and not familiar with the areas at all. Would like to charge up at the Asheville Super Charger in the morning and take the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP) north from Asheville to...

Traveling from AX to Huntsville, AZ early next year. See that there is a SC in Athens. Found a few EV chargers on Plug Share sprinkled around Huntsville, but surprised more hotels there don't designate as destination charger locations.

Asked one of the workers yesterday if he knew estimated completion date and he responded “ that info is above my pay grade”. FYI, didn’t see any boxes onsite that would contain the SC equipment.

Looks like work may be starting. The area of the parking lot near the Subway and Motor Vehicle office where the super chargers should go has been sectioned off with chain link fencing in the past day or two. No delivery of equipment, etc. seen but the fencing is a positive sign.

Such a sad story! Hope you can resolve the broken mirror easily. Thanks for the warning.

I'm interested in the sunglasses holder, lower bin tray, and cup holder spacers for Model 3. Hope Coby will have time once school starts to keep up with orders! (If you don't get PayPal worked out, will be glad to send personal check)

Drove by yesterday and there is no sign that they may begin anything soon at the site (no equipment boxes, machinery, etc.).

Try abetterrouteplanner.com It takes into account elevations, etc. and let’s you put in a variety of variants (temp, etc). We’ve been impressed with it.

In looking at businesses along the north Beeline Highway, even numbered addresses are on the west side of the road and odd numbered addresses are on the east side, so the permit address would put it on east side, near Carl's, which would put the SCs close to bathrooms and food places without...

Killface, you are absolutely right. My bad - I totally flipped the sides, even with rereading before I hit the “submit” button. The car lot, millworks, SC site, Walgreens, etc. are on the WEST side of the highway. The fast food places, bathrooms, grocery stores, etc. are on the EAST side. (I...

The address on the application (201 N Beeline) is on the NORTHEAST corner of the busy intersection of Highways 87 and 260. I am familiar with the area. Chapman Payson Auto Center (essentially a big lot with lots of cars) is right on the corner at 100 N Beeline highway. Just north of that is...

Was up at this shopping center yesterday for dinner and a movie (highly recommend The Darkest Hour). Looks like within the last week the transformer has finally been installed**. Chargers are not operational yet, but at least that is progress! And on a bright note, there were no ICE vehicles...

“Driving on metal grate, with the river shining through below” This made me think of my high school son’s recent rim to rim hike at the Grand Canyon (from north rim, down to bottom, then climb out to south rim). There are two bridges at the bottom that cross the Colorado River. One has a...

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME HO HO HO (And yes I teared up)

The signs are now up. Interestingly 8stalls allow 30 minute general parking while 8 stalls do not indicate general parking. You might think this is a hint. I really don’t see many folks actually parking in this area that much. The closest store is a Petsmart.

Ack! Well now I’m concerned. Timed how long before I started car this morning and it was almost a full minute (get in, put purse down, insert key, put on glasses, set phone into holder, etc). So, unless I start the Model 3 within 15 seconds I will need to pull out Card? My wallet is not a...

Hallelujah! A Supercharger that has several great options for meals that are not just limited to 1 or 2 fast food places. This one has eateries and shopping places within easy walking distance. I won’t be using it since I live nearby and would homecharge but nice to see they selected a great...

FWIW, a Tesla owner a few months back mentioned in a forum that, as part of the car delivery process, you will get a link to your online manual - it speeds up the delivery process and new owner gets a chance to acquaint the self with the car and features right before they receive the car. No...

Depends on purchaser. Some desire maximum range. Someone who isn't planning on longer drives and drives 90% of the time under 200 mi,es a day around town, short trips, etc. might prefer PUP.

Argh! I really thought base Model 3 would be more than Bolt's 238 even if just by a bit. Was also hoping battery upgrade wouldn't be about 25% of the ar price!

Do you need to select premium package to get glass roof?

Wow, Initially the 3 was announced as getting at least 215 miles. I really thought that when the Bolt announced 238 miles that Elon would try to top that even if just a bit with the smaller battery still at the $35,000 base price. Upgrade to 310 is great but a pricey option!

Depends on what device I use to view the "My Tesla" page. Looks the same on iPad but has the changes mentioned above on iPhone.

bring = being ( I hate autocorrect)

Absolutely! It was announced with 215 miles but didn't Elon casually say at first reveal that it would be "at least" that. With Chevy later announcing a higher range for the Bolt, I firmly believe Tesla wants to surprise people and top that. I expect the July 28 event to include several...

That is one gorgeous, classy looking car - beautiful lines! And I appreciate the setting sun coloring those hills in the background!

Husband and son were driving back from a 5 day backpack trip in eastern Sierras (Bishop, CA area) today and stopped at the Supercharger in Cabazon, CA. They checked out several SCs on their trip "just for fun" to see what they were like for future reference and have a "waiting for my Model 3"...

Really hoping battery upgrade option will be well under $5,000. Five thousand option on a $35,000 car is quite steep!

Bummed that no one there asked about how many NEW superchargers will be built in the U.S. by the end of 2017. Of course, would have probably gotten a non-answer. There does not seem to be a big spurt in the number of actual completed or permitted US superchargers....I thought there would be...

So, basically, very little, if any, new information about the Model 3, the ability to view a previously seen vehicle but not get close to it, lots of uninformative non-answers from the speakers (was Sean Spicer there?) and a peek at the progress made in the factory. I'm sure the trip was fun for...

I predict that Tesla show rooms in the US will be getting a Model 3 that people can sit in to "try on" the car in September/October .

As a tall person, seat comfort and interior "fit" is super important. I will need to sit in a 3 before configuring and hope the experience doesn't make me cancel my reservation. I have sat in an S and the seats are great and there is sufficient space so that my arm doesnt brush against the door...

Thanks (love the kangaroo!)

Hate to be repetitive, but just want to understand the timing.....a 60 year old who takes delivery of a Model 3 in 2018 and is eligible for a tax credit could roll over funds (and generate income tax liability) from a traditional IRA to a ROTH IRA by 12-31-18? I believe IRA contributions for...

I love the higher profile of our Ford Escape- super easy to get in and out of (especially with recent leg injuries) and I like bring a bit " higher" than other vehicles on the road - so have resigned myself to the fact that I will need to get used to the Model 3 and driving a lower sedan type...

Anxious to see configuration open up for the Model 3 so we will know exactly what is available both in terms of features and colors. Am a little worried that the options for interior and exterior colors will be very limited. Right now aren't exterior colors for the S are limited to only...

Want to actually sit in a Model 3 to make sure the front seats are very comfortable and "fit" me and spouse - if not, then will cancel and probably look into getting a preowned Model S. Have test driven an S and know it was fine, but would prefer the smaller 3.

That is a great looking holder, nice craftsmanship! If you are bored and feel like making another I'll bet some readers on here would love to help you with your hobby PS painting that brown wood black or grey would make that panel visually "pop"

AWD was not a feature I was interested in.

Just a couple years ago, very few of my family and friends were interested in electric vehicles and had either not heard of Tesla or were unfamiliar with the company. It is amazing in just a couple years how many more people know about Tesla, research the products and are interested in the...

Happy to support a good cause . . . with awesome prizes! Saw my ticket number when I opened the attachment of the confirmation email and electronically signed the ticket - #413! Fingers crossed . . . .

My birthday is July 19 - a great day for the reveal Probably will be at the end of the month however. Hope the reveal will include letting people know when Model 3s will be at Tesla stores so we can actually sit in one to see how it "fits".

Absolutely not.
