okay cool, I'm not alone then....like usual, some software update bug. It will probably get repaired in a future update and I won't even notice it. Apple Music didn't previously work like this, it remembered the song you were on. By the way....Mystic you mention it starting a station and only...

Hi folks.....got rid of my 2018 Model 3 last month, switched the Highland.....loving it, but have a question: In the past, when playing Apple Music, if I stopped and parked for a period of time, when coming back to the car the same song would pick up where I left it. Since I got the Highland...

can you let me know if that phone charger pops off like the tech told me it would?....I'm too chicken to be the first to try! :)

yes actually was going to mention that....the EPA rated line isn't easy to identify on the consumption graph, I think it was 240 or 245 on my 2018 LR (Alan I'm sure you know), while driving I was keeping an eye on the consumption graph comparing the expected to rated range, it's right around mid...

Hi folks.....very happy with the Highland range so far. I've been consistently averaging under 200 Wh/mile around town for the first month.....highway driving at 75 to 80, closer to 240 Wh/mile.....significantly better than my 2018. Today I had to do some highway driving, charged up to 100%...

Wow, thanks. I've been running my Uniden directly from the lighter until I can hard wire it, so far so good, but good to know.

By the way, I've also posted on the RDForum web site.....that's excellent for radar detectors and reviews if you haven't seen it yet.

Nope, still searching, seems I haven't found the correct person yet. The 12V lighter plug is now directly under the phone chargers.....I had a Tesla service guy at my house last week for Homelink, discussed this with him. He said the phone charger rack is replaceable, ie it pops off some how...

Quick question, I'm on my 2nd model 3, a highland....playing around with FSD. I actually like the auto parking, works pretty slick. Is this included in my car, assuming I don't purchase the FSD?

I thought it would be on the sticker also, but unfortunately not. One interesting thing on the sticker, it says driving range of 342 miles. Web site says 341 miles. Not a big deal, but surprised they aren't the same.

Bump..... Any updated specs on the long range, or should I assume 77.8 kWh? So far the car is crazy efficient compared to my 2018, I'm averaging roughly 200 W/mile around town. At 77.8 kWh, that's a range over 380 miles.

oh my, brain fart by me....you're absolutely correct. Thanks for pointing that out.

hey folks, just fyi.....have a Tesla home charger, normal charge rate on my 2018 Model 3 was 42 miles/hour max. On my new Highland, getting 45 miles/hour at 48A, 232V. Just pointing it out, good result.

In the past there were various wires run down the sides of the drivers side door hinge that were hot 12V, could use a t-clip to fasten onto. That's what I did on my last car. The new one doesn't have the 12V in the arm rest anymore, it's in the middle storage area under the phone chargers...

no, only have the flash drive port, but that would be cool if it were there!.....I'm wondering if there's another port elsewhere that I'm not aware of?

Hey folks, I started a similar thread for my Uniden R3 when I purchased a model 3 in 2018,.....just picked up the highland, awesome car. Has anyone hard wired their radar detector in the new model, and if so, how?

I'll add my experience....traded in my old Model 3.....ordered LR highland, white exterior, black interior, 18" 3/26 ordered 4/8 received VIN 4/15 took delivery in Paramus NJ Delivery process was really well organized, drove away about 30min after my appointment time. Paperwork was a...

I had a similar concern, going from 18" to 19", and started this thread. Inside there, he tested the 18" covers, 6% I think.....but understood, many have tested. My chief concern was whether the 10% 18" to 19" was real or not. Based on his data, sounds real...

The range difference is 6% with covers on versus off.....confirmed in another post. It's fairly major. 18" to 19" is roughly 10% per the web site, and this sounds about right based on past tests. I have 19" on my current Model 3, will probably go to 18" on the new one, not willing to give up...

Never replied, but thanks so much for the info. 10% difference is definitely possible based on your data. On my 2018 Model 3 I went with the 19" rims, but the 18" rims have grown on me for sure, and I'm not willing to give up 10% range. Getting close to retirement, hope to drive this puppy...

Thanks Alan.....so charging speed would be a slight negative with Highland....and perhaps there's less calendar aging so capacity maintains slightly better? Ultimately there's nothing I can do about it, the batteries are what the batteries are.....just curious of what I'll be seeing.

Thanks…..assuming my 2018 had I think 77kWh Panasonic, are there any advantages or disadvantages to the CATL or LG batteries in the LR highland?

what are the 2023 batteries? :)

hey folks, I've got a 2018 vin around 120,000, using Panasonic batteries I presume. Looking to buy a new Highland, I recall it's got a different battery and chemistry. Currently I'm keeping charge at 50% for years on my 2018, only go to 100% if I need it.....in theory to reduce calendar aging...

Interesting data, thanks! In theory I'm only interested in more range when I'm doing a long highway trip....stretch it out between superchargers. At highway speeds, should I assume very little difference, or do you think those photon wheel covers make a big difference?

Yep I know it's always been different, and your rough 5% sounds more logical honestly. 10% sounds high to me.....identical car, just go to 19" rims? I recall them mentioning the highland range was improved, something like 8%.....I'm wondering if they did the full EPA test on the 18" rims and...

Hey folks, the LR with 18” rims is showing 341 miles range, switching to 19” rims drops it to 305 miles, a 10% drop. I’ve got a 5.5 year old model 3, I know Tesla plays some strange games. But does it make sense to have a 10% drop in range with this change? I recall others testing years ago...

The highland has hepa level air filtration now, I don't recall hearing about that?

by the way, I think all these battery range indicators changed with 2023.44.30.5.1. This is when my fully charged range dropped immediately, and also my car is exhibiting the same range drop in cold behavior. I think it's all related.....though I'm a little surprised....my garage is holding in...

Bump…..anything going on still with a NH service center?

Even on a new car without it paid for?

Ahh thanks!

Thanks, I thought there must be an option to pay to add Homelink, as I see it in the new manual?

Hey folks, how can I tell if Homelink is included in N.A. long range car? My 2018 came standard with it, but then it got dropped I recall hearing. I see it's mentioned in the owners manual still, but doesn't say if included in car.

pretty large range difference between 18" and 19" now.....are there any articles out there on what battery is in this?

Agreed Nick.....in this case I had no range change heading into November and December. Before and during the holidays it was actually quite mild in southern NH, my car sits in a garage at 50F. I get it with the cold weather, but this was basically instantly occurring in a warm garage...

excellent, so I'm not going crazy. :)

Thanks....interesting....we shall see! When my range initially dropped three years ago, I read up on the forum about the BMS system calculations, and the need to give it more low and high range info.....also to keep state of charge lower. I did all that and over a 2 year period it stabilized...

good point, just checked....I know it's down about 5 miles since Tuesday evening charge, the energy park tab says it's down 2.2 miles, all due to "vehicle standby". Hmm....what would that be?

yep thanks....actually charged to full a few days after the update to see if this affected anything. One other strange thing I'm noticing, sitting in my garage plugged in.....I'm getting some vampire drain that I never saw in the past. Sentry off, charger set to 50% Tuesday evening after...

It had to be related to the software.....the BMS estimate changed instantly after the download. At the time I thought this is weird, maybe it will recalibrate with some time....but so far no, just staying low. Anyhow, it's good (or maybe not good?) to see others with similar age car had no issues.

Five year old Model 3 purchased November of 2018, build number around 122,000. I know the initial battery degradation occurs in first two years, my range dropped quickly at about 25k miles from 310 miles to 285 to 290 roughly. I also know range is a calculation, I've spent lots of time...

ha!....love it.....oh well, maybe the sensor is screwed up.....but strange that I only use it in the winter, and this winter it's not operating the same. My experience over 5 years is they add stuff through software updates and screw other things up.....maybe an Apple Music update screwed up...

Hey folks, I live in NH, 2018 Model 3 LR, about 60k miles on it. I've used the auto setting on the seat heaters since this was added in the software, maybe two years ago? It worked great, starting on highest setting and dropping as the car warmed up inside. As it got cold this winter, used my...

You're not that far off. My 2018 Model 3 long range with 56k miles was 310 when new, at around 25k miles it started dropping. I've been only charging to 50% for the past 2-3 years unless I need more to travel, and it's stabilized around 290 to 292 miles at 100% charge. If I assume 290, that's...

Wow, glad you survived. 100 mph, how did the Jeep driver do?

hey thanks, that's the ticket....got it done in like 15min once I found the correct screw and cover. correct, I do it the same way, kneel outside the car and bend up, can't imagine doing it on my back. Anyhow, thanks for all the suggestions, got it done, will forget what I did next time in two...

the video used to show directions for my early year model, now it shows for later models....it's changed. :(

hey folks, I have a late 2018 Model 3, changed my cabin air filter two years ago and recall it wasn't easy but didn't take long. I'm replacing again, and now when I look at the self service Tesla video that HVAC cover on the side looks totally different in the video. Okay, I read here they...

thanks folks, I recalled seeing it as a menu adjustment option, didn't realize it was also on the right scroll bar. I'll try that out!
