I think there are videos, but it isn't all that hard. Enter navigation destination and click one button!

Just to be sure - when parked you can adjust the settings. Confirm you have FSD enabled and one click to activate. Enter a destination in your navigation. Get rolling and press the right scroll wheel (click it) to enable FSD. If that doesn't work take a picture of your settings and post them...

This. I strongly believe the conditions and speed are much, much bigger factors than degradation. I'm positive my MS's didn't lose 12% capacity over three years.

This is how I feel too. It would be a pigs flying situation for me to have the car in four years but still I'm all in on minimizing the degradation. It's an OCD thing.

I'm around 350 miles and just 10 days on a M3 LR Highland. Seems very high quality to me. For sure better than my either of my MS's.

Agreed. In good weather I'm fine with a 6-8% arrival prediction when I'm at ~50-60% of the battery. I don't trust the miles based range estimates on the screen much at all. On road trips I'm watching battery percentage, consumption rates and doing my own math. I road trip a lot. My two cents -...

SOC is "state of charge"

One of the best lines in a movie. Burt Reynolds: I'm not going to film you in this state. Mark Walberg: What, you mean the state of California?

Yeah. Unfortunately my bet is the EV 718 will be more like $100K.A basic Macan EV configuration is mid-90's and I don't think the 718 will be cheaper.

Terrific. Thanks for that - and makes perfect sense.

If/when mine fails, I'm going to try a portable SSD instead of a memory stick. I think they handle read/write cycles better.

I'd go with any of them and I'd choose based on what the installer is most comfortable with. I think the install is more important than the film.

Bummer. I want Audible!

Maybe I'm not getting it, but why not just say "hey Siri" and respond to the text that way?

When is the Audible app coming? Is it part of the Spring update? (My car hasn't gotten that yet).

Congrats. Enjoy in good health.

Thanks. I already pulled the trigger on the LR (maybe I wasn't clear about that in my post). I'm really focused on range - possibly too much so now that the SC network is more built out. I'm scarred by the days when I carried a CHAdeMO adapter ($400) in the trunk of my P85D because that was the...

Like I said - if you qualify, it's a terrific deal.

This is exactly how I saw it too. Of course for those who qualify for the tax credit, the new M3P is a terrific deal. However the range difference of ~45 miles vs. the LR was too much for me to swallow. I use my car regularly for long road trips and prioritize range over almost anything else...

@Zap! - I know you want your car and the delays are annoying, but I wouldn't sweat it. My delivery date slipped a little too because the car was late arriving (not applicable to you) and the store seemed super busy. I was surprised by how many cars they had on the lot. I'd thought it would be...

Taycan is more like an electric Panamera. Too big for me. The upcoming Boxster electric may be interesting. However Porsche's refusal to adopt one pedal is annoying.

It's a bummer the new Roadster never got built. I had a Founders reservation and cancelled it after about 18 months of waiting and no news. I think there's a market for a high end electric sports car. I'd love a car that can drive itself to the track and then can handle a day of fun. I guess...

FWIW - Although my delivery was briefly delayed, I thought the entire experience was pretty great. Much easier/faster than taking delivery at a "normal" car dealer. And more importantly my experience with the car (3 days and 150 miles) has been incredible. The Model 3 is more or less 90% of the...

Could be worse. I'm fine with the alignment.

Telsa pushed my delivery time and picked a new one for me. Currently set for today at 5 pm CT. Curious to see if (when) they move it again.

Right - I had a P85D that I paid to have "L" added to. That was the car that did this.

Why is that "insane"? Seems more or less right depending on conditions, speed, etc.

Interesting. There used to be something I think called "Navigation on Autopilot" which did exactly this. Way back in the day!

Feel free to ask questions. We were all new to EV and Tesla at some point and needed the help. It's easier now than when I got more first one in 2015!

Congrats. You're doing all the right things. Looks like you are in No.Va. If that's right, you'll have plenty of Supercharger options to choose from. Home charging is cheaper/easier but you'll be fine until the electrician can do the job. There are a ton of videos on YT re: the M3. Every topic...

I'm taking delivery this week on a new M3 LR. Because it seems very convenient and for tax reasons in TN, I'd trading my Kia in to Tesla. I used the app which gave me a confirmed value that has been applied to the numbers. I was a bit surprised at how little information Tesla wanted on the car...

How accurate are the EDD once they are close in? My EDD is May 13 (Monday) until May 22. Car was ordered from in-transit inventory on May 6. Will delivery likely take place during the window or do they generally get pushed out? Side note - I stopped by the Nashville store and was blown away by...

Hi all - returning to the Tesla world after a four year hiatus. Placed an order for a new inventory M3. EDD is May 13-22. Looking forward to it.

I went from a 2015 P85D to a 2018 100D and the only meaningful difference has been the range. But it's been very meaningful to me. I can get from Nash to Atlanta w/o charging. That's huge. After five years of Tesla ownership IMHO range is king.

More if down hill (or less if up hill) ;)

Basically 1% a day more or less on my 2018 100D .

Wow. Super envious. Range is king. Numbers like 348 at 90% are amazing.

Biggest gripe I have with Tesla is that if you get in a fender bender you're likely down for months. Parts supply for repair works is awful. I can put up with the occasional SC issue but the body shop stuff is a nightmare.

Well Mobile Service texted to push out the date and suggested the SC do it and HW3 at same time. So we'll see what happens.

I'm sure Porsche will add the Taycan to their Experience Center offering soon. Sounds like what you'd want OP. It's a few hundred bucks, hour or two, their car and you drive w/ an instructor in the right seat. Driving Experiences | Porsche Experience Center - Atlanta, GA

Another question: Should I be asking for the FSD hardware upgrade at the same service appointment? I have pre-raven 100D with MCU2 and FSD paid for.

While I love my 100D for range, there are a lot of times I miss my old P85DL. It was still kind of the Wild West back in the days of LTE upgrade, Ludicrous, Next Gen seats and whatnot. Fun times on TMC. Now it seems Tesla is all grown up.

I’d be curious what the high mileage folks are seeing on degradation. Other than the packs that are known to be problematic, my belief is they hold up really well. I’ve spoken to a few guys who do black car service with Teslas and the degradation is very minimal. They love the low maintenance...

Thanks all. Certainly more convenient.

All - So my driver’s exterior door handle broke. I know this is a common issue - had door handle issue on my 2015 as well. Question: When I scheduled the service in the app it booked me for service at my house. I’m about 20 miles from the SC. Is this normal? Every other service I’ve needed over...

My 2015 and my 2018 both had and have the thud. First few times it happened I thought I’d been rear ended - sound, not a feel.

Would really surprise me if an MS w/ 390 range couldn’t do a round trip of 220 w/ two or three days sitting in the middle. Frankly I don’t think it will even be close.

So frustrating how much Tesla focuses on acceleration. Please, please give me a 30 second skip button for podcasts (and a million other small things) rather than continuously pushing to make the already fast cars slightly faster. /rantoff

OP: I think what you describe is how it's designed to work. I've experienced the same thing.

Carplay or no carplay - could Tesla at least add a 30 second fast forward button for podcasts?
