1) Avoid keeping the vehicle at a high state of charge (when possible) 2) Avoid keeping the vehicle at a high state of charge when temperatures are hot (ie in hot climates) 3) There is less degradation when battery operates in the middle of its capacity range so it's better to go from 30%-80%...

Agree with others - the "regen curve" is not the same. Even going from 75 MPH to 0 (at a freeway off ramp), my model 3 will not create the amount of electrical regen it did years ago. Max regen around town (on the consumption screen) has diminished at least 20%. That said, my battery...

Thank you! Those posts describe it perfectly. The "green regen bar" (the amount of power going back into the battery) is definitely been reduced for some time. Thank you for posting the links!

Should have added the following: Has nothing to do with state of charge. Vehicle is never charged above 80% Nothing to do with colder temperatures. We're talking about May, June, July, and August in metro Phoenix. If anything we're talking about over 110 ambient air temperature (and 130+ degree...

Original 2019 Long Range RWD Model 3 (310 miles). I've noticed a significant reduction in the maximum regen along with a corresponding reduction in how quickly the vehicle begins to slow down during one pedal driving, all due to the software updates earlier this year (the last 2-3 months). In...

Charge Stats Disappears in Mobile App - Charge Stats not showing August data - Similar to others posting above, I noticed that Charge Stats thru the middle of July were correct - then I had no data points from July 17 to now. However, charge stats was still visible on my mobile app. Then, out...

Tesla Model 3 - Coolant Level Low Warning while in Service Mode VCFRONT_a135_coolantLevelLow - VCFRONT_A135 Coolant Level Low 2019 LR RWD - The coolant low service alert message only displayed in Service Mode. My local service center said it was OK to stop by without an appointment. They had...

How does this compare to any 2021 / 2022 AWDs or M3Ps? 2019 LR RWD March 2019 delivery 19” Rims 22,000 miles ~68 kWh calculated battery capacity (this feels like a big drop) 231 watts / mile lifetime (20% highway / 80 % city driving) ~288-290 displayed range at 100% (using app slider)

I am considering trading my 2019 LR RWD Model 3 with 19” rims for a 2022 M3P or 2022 M3 AWD. I am trying to judge the real-world range and battery capacity that I would have in a new car. I’d lose radar, and homelink. I’d pick up acceleration and restart the warranty. Not sure what my real...

2019 Model 3 just updated to 2022.16.2 in hopes of fixing the dashcam USB not working error. I have same problem as noted above. The left thumb wheel no longer selects the next/previous favorite radio station. Instead, appears to change the source and renders an error message that premium...

Unscientifically speaking the difference is face melting acceleration and a higher top speed

I believe they will ship it to the west coast for ~$1,000. The Tesla sales advisor would know for sure.

Just got a call from my Tesla Advisor and we have more Stealth Performance P3D- in stock sitting on the east coast. Contact your local Tesla Advisor or message me if you want my advisor name or referral code (good for 1,000 miles of free supercharging). All of them are black interior with 19" rims.

This entire post has all the tell tale signs of trolling and FUD. Ignoring the classic signs of improper english, grammar & syntax, very little of this story holds water. Any Model 3 owner will tell you this car definitely exceeds the "feel" of a $35k vehicle. MIDRANGEORDER == short...

Thank you for posting this. My delivery specialist specifically showed me how to "slam" the frunk shut and specially stated that you are supposed to to push down very hard on the "T" logo .... Of course, this hasn't worked in real practice and I was about to schedule service because the frunk...
