Ask the contact to transfer you to a supervisor, or ask for the name of their supervisor, or their superior. Then contact them.

A bored customer service rep, seriously. Escalate if you haven't already, and then ask tesla legal.

Maybe contact legal? That tends to spook companies doing dumb stuff. Maybe send a certified letter demanding they honor the warranty depending on the response. If you're REALLY bored, you can small claims them for the cost of the charger (and reinstall if you're not doing the swap yourself).

> I figure 25 amps incurred less voltage loss/heat/resistance in the cord resistance is a static percentage in a cord.

When I checked a few months ago, it was completely accurate, but read 49.1 as 50mph, but also 19.1 as 20, and 69.1 as 70... 235/45 R18 stock tires on a model 3.

Right, but SLC just straight up WON'T fail, and it's like 30 bucks for a 64GB SLC drive. One and done. MLC is available too if you really want the extra capacity. Same price, double the capacity, 1/10th the life (but still should be in excess of the car's life.)

I have been using an SLC for 4 years without a single issue. It's specifically an EVTRAN 32GB SLC USB 2.0 flash drive. (The USB 3 ones are pSLC) I am getting warnings that it's too small though =/. Fortunately they moved it so it's only in the logs and you don't see the alert anymore.

I wonder if this would work with one of those integrated android dashboards the replace the trim piece on the top and behind the wheel.

FFS just use an SLC drive for the dashcam, it won't die. I believe you can just use a splitter/hub if you want another drive for music.

I just got an SLC flash drive. They are 100,000 PE cycles, so basically invulnerable.

If I may make a counterpoint, a 2850lb, 228hp (only at 7000rpm), 184lb-ft (only at 3700) RWD car isn't exactly comparable to the monsters that Tesla model 3's are in comparison (4000lbs, 500+hp/700+ftlbs AWD). I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that test is so dissimilar, I don't find...

On what wheel? In a straight line or on a track? Which model 3 do you have?

I have an oct 2018 with free premium connectivity, but that's literally the least of the issues with feature removal in the newer cars. If you're using the nav, just tether to your phone, which is free.

You could probably fix that with proper touch-up paint. For a lease return anyway.

No, 18 is the best for anything function related. The others are only for looks.
