Gonna lose a lot of juice in an extension cord at that length. Even with a larger gauge cord.Get a 100' cable, 12ga, and charge it over night as a backup to work/superchargers.
I had the same plan back in 2019, i was planning to buy the new M3 at that time. I tried to discuss with my property manager and promised to provide all cable covers and safety equipment to protect the cable, in exchange of assigning the closest parking spot to me, but they refused for liability concerns. Now my new job location has a few shared chargers, so I took that a sign to switch.Is it physically impossible to buy and run even a 120v extension to a mobile charger? Get a 100' cable, 12ga, and charge it over night as a backup to work/superchargers. I used a mobile charger 120v for the first few weeks and it was doable when it wasn't freezing.
It was awe. The problem is that I couldn’t reach anyone to help me check it or test drive it. I could’t digest the idea of paying for used car without seeing it first.2019 if its awd. I wish I had awd in my 2018 better in winter and faster
Are all of the RWD/SR manufactured with LFP batteries, or is it just the ones from the Shanghai gigafactory? I have a Model 3 RWD from Austin, picking it up soon. Recently bought a model Y but my wife stole it so...need me a new Tessie haha@MSM182 - It’s hard for me to choose without knowing the price difference. Do you qualify for the $7500 tax credit? How about state tax credits? The new 2023 likely will cost less.
I like the idea of new car with 8 year battery warranty. The SR has LFP battery, which you can charge to 100% all of the time. You will want to charge the LR battery to 90%, or a bit more so that the battery is at 90 or below when you get home from the charging station.
The Ryzen chip in the SR is faster, and enables more features such as ZOOM meetings. The SR will be quick compared to most cars. If you are a leisurely driver it will be like a rocket. However, if you drive hard you will appriciate the even quicker dual motor LR. Since it is a 2019, better confirm it is dual motor, not the original RWD LR. If the latter, then it will not be much quicker than the 2023 RWD SR.
Good Luck with your decision.

All USA built 2022/ 2023 SR+ RWD have the LFP batteries. Can’t speak for other countries.Are all of the RWD/SR manufactured with LFP batteries, or is it just the ones from the Shanghai gigafactory?

Austin is not building Model 3 so that’s impossible to be from Austin. It’s from Fremont.Are all of the RWD/SR manufactured with LFP batteries, or is it just the ones from the Shanghai gigafactory?

So it would be recommended to fully charge every night, correct? Now I need to go read up on LFPs lolAll USA built 2022/ 2023 SR+ RWD have the LFP batteries. Can’t speak for other countries.
Oh, yes I meant Fremont sorry. VIN is 5YJ3E1EA4PF-Austin is not building Model 3 so that’s impossible to be from Austin. It’s from Fremont.
But all North American market Model 3 RWD are LFP as of about 2021. Basically when they rebranded it to RWD instead of SR/SR+.
For the RWD When you do charge it yes 100% it will scorn you if you drop the target below 100% i have 220 15a at my place and plug it in most of the time but when thunderstorms are predicted i tend to take the cautious route and unplug it lol…So it would be recommended to fully charge every night, correct?

Yep - ABC "Always BE Charging" is key - especially when you have access to a home charger. Once you get into that routine - similar to charging your phone - you won't worry about range at all. LFP batteries may charge a bit slower (170 kWh vs 250+, but filling them to 100% is a bonus). On trips - just a little planning will make it easy too. Staying in a hotel with a EV charger makes life super stress free.For the RWD When you do charge it yes 100% it will scorn you if you drop the target below 100% i have 220 15a at my place and plug it in most of the time but when thunderstorms are predicted i tend to take the cautious route and unplug it lol…
i can normally go 3-4 days before i feel i need to charge it, if i go too much below 40% it takes more than 10 hrs to fully charge. But i sometimes even though a round trip run to the office is ~20% Including sentry-mode i will just plug it in when i get home.
Normally one night A week i get it fully charged then unplug it and turn of sentry to allow the pack to balance Out. (It does that when the contacters disconnect from my understanding.)
whats the lowest recommended %? For my MYLR, it was recommended to stay between 20-80% so I assume for the M3RWD it would be 20-100% right?Yep - ABC "Always BE Charging" is key - especially when you have access to a home charger.

If that is true that used LR from Tesla get Acceleration Boost....then I would choose the used LR over a new RWDI would strongly advise you to try and find a local dealerships with used LR and test drive the new SR at a Tesla sales center back to back
Back in Jan I test drove a LR and SR back to back and instantly knew I needed the LR just for the fun factor alone...it is considerably faster and that instant go juice is addicting
I ended up snagging a 2020 Model 3 Performance with EAP. and only 25,898 miles for a little bit more than what the LR's were going for from Tesla's used inventory...I was a bit sketch about laying down non refundable $500 on a car I couldn't even see in pictures, but was more than happy I pulled the trigger as she was minty mint and the price was unbelievable !!! The prices have gone up about $4-5K on the used M3P's in just a couple weeks after I got mine on the Tesla site...I scored big time!
The extended warranty that come with the used ones is great and you get software upgrades for pennies on the dollar...it's hard to beat getting a used Tesla straight from Tesla...
BTW, all the used LR's on Tesla used inventory come with Acceleration Boost which is a nice bonus also....
I would get the lightly used LR if I were you
yes, it is...all the M3LR's come with AB on their used inventoryIf that is true that used LR from Tesla get Acceleration Boost....then I would choose the used LR over a new RWD
