In metro Atlanta, we have reversible toll lanes alongside of selected stretches of interstate. I've used the ones near me, paralleling I-75 just outside the Perimeter (I-285) on the north side of town since they opened nearly five years ago. They run south into the city in the morning, and then flip...

So I finally went on a longish trip with my wife's R1S Rivian SUV, driving from San Diego to Big Bear Lake. I was keen to test out Rivian's Driver+ lane keeping system comparing it to Tesla's Autopilot on the freeway.

Once I got onto a divided highway (15N in CA), I turned on the Driver+ lane keepi...

The Badlands in South Dakota has caught my imagination for decades. In September of 2022 we made the trip from Ohio, and went as far out as Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, in a 2019 LR RWD Model 3 with 18” tires and aero caps. This is the third long ...

Let me share my experience charging outside Tesla Supercharger network.

We had this Munchen - Konstanz roadtrip for a while. My wife came from Budapest to Munchen by train, I drove there from Amsterdam and picked up her and we continued our road trip to Konstanz/Moos/Singen (Bodensee) to meet up wi...

It’s time for my annual Nurburgring trip, last year I was in my modified Porsche Cayman S, this year I took my Tesla Model 3.

As usual, for posterity I’ll do a report that will be here for when I look back in time and see what I got up to at that time of my life, good or bad! If it doesn’t bore you...

TomB985 · Apr 13, 2023

One of my big motivations for switching to the Model Y from my EV6 was the ability to tow my boat. I have a 2011 Larson LX850 that I bought new, and I’ve towed it with about a dozen different vehicles over the years I’ve had it. It weighs between 3,400-3,500 lbs depending on gear and fuel, so it’s...

Hi Yall,

I have recently purchased a 2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range. Obviously a fantastic car and I am very happy with it. Its fast, its efficient, its practical, its long ranged. Its awesome.

However, I don't know what it is, but I really want to play and experiment with reducing drag on the c...

avramd · Apr 11, 2023

In a thread about towing in the MY subreddit, a couple people asked about range. This led me to writing a post w/ my experience towing boats, and I thought I'd share it here in case anyone was interested. The MY's tow limit is 3500 lbs, and both of these were close to that (photos at end). My car is...

Yes, this is real, and was not photo-shopped. I want to take them up on it. But truth is I need tires for an ICE car, so when I make the appointment I'm going to see they can do both. LOL

Do we start giving the software creativity points for re-routing? It certainly doesn’t get many performance points, except that it did follow the traffic cone re-route.

All it had to do was just keep going and move back into the right lane after the construction site.

It did a pretty good jo...

I’ve had FSD since early Sept 2022, and after hearing some good reviews of 11.3.3 I was excited to get it. Overall it’s a good improvement but there are some issues that need to be addressed.
these are the consistent annoyances I see.

Last year, I visited over 100 of the national park units (including historic sites, monuments, etc.), in the middle of the country in my Model 3 LR. Here are some of my favorites (links go to my ad-free blog with a photo of each site). Enjoy, let me know yours,...

The video has timestamps for easy access to pertinent information. Of most interest might be:

2018 Model 3, Dual Motor, HW3, FSD Beta, 147K V11.3.4 (2022.45.13)

Very long.

Did the standard run, but at night.

What improved: Micro slow downs appear to have been fixed. The left hand turn on back country road improved but still needs a little tweaking. It does not come to a complete stop and ...

Padelford · Apr 7, 2023

I'm done for the time being with trying out FSD beta 11.3.3, especially after the rather dangerous interaction turning left into two oncoming vehicles. I know others have had a lot of luck in urban environments with this build, particularly with left turns, but my experience is quite the contrary...

I just wrapped up a 3400+ mile solo road trip in my 2022 (August Delivery) MYP and thought that I would share my experience.

Running 2022.44.30.10 w/FSD 10.69.25.2 (was hoping for v11 before or during the trip, but that hasn't happened for me yet). Stock 21" Uberturbine Wheels w/Michelin All Season...

BobDolesGhost · Apr 5, 2023

My opinion of FSD has been pretty low for a long while now. I got FSD Beta in the 2nd 'original wide' groups in Oct '21. The ending months of 2021, FSD was a toy, but a potentially lethal one. It tried to kill me 3 times. I engaged in a parking lot with a stop sign to the main street about 10 meters...

This is a recommendation for anybody who charges at home to see if they can get a better rate from their electric utility.

Where I live, just north of Chicago, we have the option to switch our billing method with Commonwealth Edison to hourly pricing, rather than paying a flat $.13/...

Just drove down into CA and back home on a road trip with my family of five.
- Drove 1,367mi total.
- Used TESLA Superchargers mostly.
- Average TESLA Supercharger price: $0.40/kWh (MIN: $0.34/kWh | MAX: $0.48/kWh)
