Fidalgo · Mar 5, 2024

We're a retired couple who decided to consolidate from two cars to one EV. Since my wife didn't like the lack of physical controls and minimalism of my 2020 Model Y, we're trying a 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron - the all-wheel drive version - instead. We don't road trip much and do 99 percent of our charging ...

My 2023 model Y LR 19" stock wheels from Fremont has 17k miles on it, the weather was decent (62F and sunny) so I ran my battery down to 0% (0 miles). I mainly did this to lessen my fears of running out of battery on a road trip.

I started with a full battery (100% charged from home), usually when ...

So, took a test drive to help my friend get some referral points. Thought it’ll be a bit of fun, no intentions of buying.

24 hours later I placed the lease order and left my existing lease early… and here we are.

I test drove the LR, but really wanted the performance mostly for aesthetics. But als...

A year ago I posted a one-year snapshot of my 2022 Long-Range AWD Model 3 ( Model 3 - One Year Later ).

I have a 2021 Tesla Model Y.
This past week I was backing out of my garage and one of the wheel wells touched the garage door.
I was not going fast but there was some paint damage and black plastic liner around the wheel well came off.
I contacted Tesla Collision and made an appointment.
I uploaded ...

So I have now driven 1000 kilometres in my two weeks of ownership so far of my Model 3 Highland. Not only is this my first Tesla, it’s also my first EV having owned a range of different high powered cars in the past, mainly BMW’s and rwd Japanese coupes. While this thread brings it down to basics, I...

I have recently traveled in my blue 2022 Tesla 3LR to all the national park sites that are focused on black history.
I know Black History Month just ended yesterday, but the park sites are open throughout the year.

On 1st March 2023 I proudly took delivery of my MY, with 14 miles and 39% battery. One year later it has covered 15,760 miles at an average of 224Wh/mi

During that time the only issues I can recall have been:

Picked up a slow puncture which required a new tyre after only 6 months.

I was surprised to see, now that Fords, and soon other cars, can use superchargers, that Tesla officially blesses cars parking in such a way as to occupy two supercharger stalls -- or even three! -- due to the short cords. They even show it in a graphic. (They warn them not to park diagonally, t...

Hello, I have a 2016.5 model S, which had a lot of wind noise but I ended up fixing it in about 10 minutes and weather stripping from Amazon for 10 bucks.

I starting having more wind noise as the original weatherstrip degraded overtime. The solution was quite simple. Weatherstrip with dual sided ...

I've found that after a recent update, Autopilot has become useless on non-highway, two-lane roads.

With the update, Tesla learned how to read speed limits and enforces a maximum Autopilot speed of +10 km/h (6.2 miles per hour).

The problem is that it reads a 30 km/h (18.6 miles per hour) sign bef...

I searched this forum and could not find a mention of this announcement from July 2022, and I think this deserves its own thread. While it is in part about Impulse Space, the current discussion about that company is in the Space Tug thread and this is very different.

Drove from the Bay Area to Lake Tahoe this past ski week with the family and 2 small/medium size dogs and a bunch of cold weather gear (sleds etc). Here's a quick review of the experience.

tl;dr - the car did extremely well with both hill driving to altitude (8200ft) and weather (15 degree weather,...

Day 1

Once again, I miscalculated how much vacation I carried over from last year, and have to use a week before the end of March or lose it. So, I used airline miles to buy a ticket to LAX and scheduled a rental Model Y LR. (I wanted a Model 3 LR, but there were none available to reserve for the d...

Has a 'Ludicrous' badge on the back. New rear spoiler, front spoiler, looks lower, new wheels, different brake set up, sports seats, and I'd guess at a 0 -60 of around 2.5 ish seconds.

I'll be all over this when it comes out. Although not sold on the wheels but i'd imagine there will be options on ...
