They bought some simulation software, made their own Tesla model based off some template or guess, added the spoiler, and never correlated their model with a wind tunnel to see if it's actually accurate enough to be useful. It's not like they have access to Tesla's in-house models. HINT: they...

Link to the wind tunnel results?

I've had a 2019 long range AWD since new, and I have FSD (it was $6k when I got it) and acceleration boost. I recently drove a Highland Model 3 and a 2023 Model 3 a few months before that. It's a noticeable difference in terms of build quality and noise, but it's the same basic experience. As...

Getting caught up on this thread - has anyone actual received their truck since the delivery event?

The road trip limiting factor is the spacing of the superchargers, not necessarily the maximum range at 70-80 mph. Realistically, you are stopping to charge every 2-3 hours. Even if an F150 Lightning or some other vehicle had more road trip range on paper, non Tesla charging network is patchy...

Do people here not understand that Tesla is cash flow negative on the Cybertruck for the next year or more? When you pay 120 grand to them for one, you’re offsetting that. When you pay 20 grand in mark up to your local Ford dealer for a lightning, you don’t benefit the financials for the...

Sorry I don't have all the details but there were some changes in the early cars (2018 model year I think) involving a redesign to the rear seats, and change to the control arms due to early failures. Also, in 2019 they stopped making Homelink Standard mid through the year, and stopped...

My Model 3 was built in May 2019 and I just had the 12v battery changed by Tesla mobile service about 2 weeks ago, 38k miles. I've never had any symptoms of failing battery but 4.5 years is fine. It was like a $100.

Are you sure you weren't using Navigate on Autopilot? Navigate on Autopilot is still available now, under settings.

I live in Michigan (near Detroit) and have used the factory Michelin all season tires on my Model 3 AWD since 2019. I'm on my second set of factory tires. I haven't had any problems in the snow with it, but I also don't drive in deep compacted snow either. The snow plows come through quickly...

Ok so no creep or roll modes is an S and maybe X thing then. Weird. I don’t get the benefit in removing them as an option. I understand removing low regen because it has some benefit on EPA range rating, but taking out creep and roll is pointless.

Weird, the 2023 S LR I drove didn’t have those options. Maybe it’s an S thing? Or just a demo mode thing?

Is creep and roll modes dead too though?

What’s the current status on this? I test drove a new long range S and there was no option for low regen, or creep and roll modes. My 2019 Model 3 has all the above. Is the new highland 3 having these modes or not?

Does it really matter on an LFP though? I mean I can understand not leaving it at 100% but still...
