LR RWD here. I do this drive regularly to our place in Truckee and going there requires a short stop (15 min) and no stop on the way back. In fact, I typically leave Truckee with about 285-290 mi charge and get back home to San Jose with around 100 mi left. One of these weekends on a good...

Do the new visualizations show up if you have HW3 but haven’t purchased FSD? I currently see the traffic cones.

Clearly it's not a hardware change, the range difference between 310 and 322mi isn't enough to justify that. So I was surprised that the recent 5% power update or "hold" increased regenerative braking mode didn't modify the LR AWD range up to match what's listed on nee LR AWD models now. Do we...

I named mine Thunder Road, not after the Springsteen song, but after the spaceship build by the boys in 1985 Spielberg produced The Explorers. I was searching for a name when I rewatched the film again on Amazon, and realized the ship runs on electricity, is silent, and can accelerate with "no...

Tesla Tested on Twitter

It looks like this has been pushed to 2019.40.1, which some early access users have started to see (spotted on twitter). So it looks like it is coming. Very happy for you guys.

Performance was never on the table for me, I just don't need that kind of speed. The only real downsides for the SR+ are: 1. Range (but that's only a negative if long drives are regular, or medium drives in cold weather) 2. Premium Connectivity (but this may come as a subscription option down...

Nothing yet with my LR AWD delivered Sept 20.

I’m going to give Thunder Road her first wash this weekend. Is there a thread about best gentle wash soap and best solutions for interior surfaces? I had armor all wipes for the hard surfaces (backs of seats and shoe scuffed door bottoms), and I already have microfiber cloths for drying and...

I thought I'd just followup here after my trip. Thanks to everyone who posted. I charged to about 300mi before we left on the trip up. Stopped in Vacaville with about 180. By the time we walked to the Starbucks and had our order I was getting notifications that charging was nearly complete...

Yikes. Sort of frustrating... Figures on the Friday I can't get a charging spot until 3:30pm. So I arrive home with 272 miles. I figure... hey! I've got free supercharging. I'll go to the nearest charger and top up to 300mi tonight. Unfortunately the one I go to is high volume, so max...

Wow. I'll have to try that one time.. reduce my speed a bit to compensate for the AWD efficiency. I'll definitely look at stopping in to Rocklin. I just don't know if it's up or down tomorrow with the PG&E outages. Actually wish Tesla would send out a list of affected superchargers.

A better Route planner says I shouldn’t need to stop at all on the way back, and will in fact end up with about 20% left on the battery after the drive back to SJ.

Thanks. There are Superchargers down due to PG&E outages, but still lots either side of Sacramento. I take i80 to Truckee, so Placerville is out of the way for me. I think I'll charge to 100% just in time to drive home from work. By the time I get there I'll be at about 95% (295mi) vs the...

So according to the great links provided above, Vacaville, Sacramento, and Roseville are all ok, but Rocklin and Fairfield will be down. Most importantly, Truckee is unaffected. Thanks!
