That's reassuring. (Mine did go down slightly between 2020/2021 but a significant percentage rise 2022/2023). Let's hope the recent nonsense is levelling off.

As you have already probably found out ... Tesla wipers on the Model 3 don't use a dedicated rain sensor. They decided (unfortunately) that this function could be covered by the fact that the car has multiple cameras that can be used to analyse the presence of rain. They tweak the software from...

… along with most of the rest of the world! US is the minority on that format I understand.

Edinburgh has been excellent for me… so it’s not an overall issue. Last time I used them I got an appointment within 3 working days. There’s obviously something going on that’s disrupting things for whatever reason.

That’s because you have been stressing about range! Most people on here have LR so aren’t concerned about range… you were asking about optimising range (as those of us with SR+ and RWD are more likely to do). Clearly using a small amount of mains to precondition is worth it for those of us with...

This ^ It’s one of the advantages of always being plugged in. Also whenever you wake the car with the app all the systems boot up and use some battery just doing nothing if you’re not plugged in. Certainly the last few days here with low night temps it’s been more like winter driving, for...

Do you have it on Sentry Mode all the time? That would definitely use some juice.

Do you plug in every night or just run it down like an ice car? Battery happiest when regularly recharged.

Something doesn’t add up here… if pack is 60kWh then 260Wh gives about 230 miles…

I mean when going down the gradient not when you get to a junction and need to stop … same?

Does this result in you requiring to use your brakes to slow the car? Unless you are having to use friction braking then the less regen the better I find that the frequency of reduced regen messages have varied with changing software versions. I also notice that reduced regen can occur on long...

Just as an information point… that’s not how a SR+ or RWD behaves. You can give it full pedal and if the traction isn’t available there’s no scary outcome… it only gives you power to the limit of your available grip. It’s almost spooky when you know that if you did the same in most rwd cars you...

You can actually fit one legally if it’s for a bike rack rather than towing…

Let’s put this brake fluid issue into context … has anyone needed to have new brake fluid due to moisture levels? (Surprise me!)

You would think so but some dealers could well be unaware that a car has a tow bar.
