    Traveling by Supercharger can be more expensive than ICE

    My experience has been quite abit different. I just did a cross country trip with high winds, Rocky Mountains, storms and pretty weather. It was cool enough in the mountains to need the heater so that reduced my efficiency some. 2217.62 miles - $101.78 in Tesla Supercharging for whole route...

    Dome Lights & Ambient Lights Randomly Shut Off

    Every time I watch Netflix it turns the dome lights from Auto to off. If I stay at a theater they always stay on auto.

    Anyone have this issue with NikolaPro chrome delete?

    Looks like you just need to smooth them out with the heat gun. None of my ends look like this. That said, I did mine during installation.

    Help me decide: 2019 Model 3 performance vs 2017 Model S 75D (or 90D)

    I struggled with this decision as well. I have a pretty predictable history of alternating between luxury and sports sedans. I loved my Boxster S but got tired of the size and ride and went to a Jaguar XJ VDP. A year later the Jag was boring so I purchased a C6 corvette which must have the...

    How do you carry your bike?

    I use an ecotech hitch with a OneUp rack on the back. Works perfect. I did the install myself which was pretty easy if you take your time. I have also hauled the bike in the back with the seat down and a towel over the back of the seat. Take off the front wheel and slide it in rear wheel...

    2020.12.5.6: Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control

    I agree to some extent but I also thinking about all the other technologies that we're going to go awry and never did. When I was growing up everyone told you to not buy the electric windows because if your battery went out during a rain storm your car would be ruined. Never happened in 36...

    My Tesla buying/servicing/after sale support experience

    I spent years reading every Tesla article I could find and months scouring this forum before I committed our hard earned money to purchasing a Tesla. There are so many horror stories, some real and some concocted to try to knock Tesla out of business or short sell the stock. These fears were...

    Tesla Complaint Line

    I purchased a low mileage used Audi S5 with a similar issue on the front bumper cover. I never once thought Audi had any responsibility or obligation to fix something of unknown origin. Sure, Tesla has a history of paint issues and it's possible it was delivered that way and if so they had an...

    2020.8.3 Updating hitting now...

    I have a 2020 Performance... just upgraded from 8.2 to 8.3. Based on other threads I would have thought it would go to 2020.12 but then again I don't understand how the versions align to models.

    How much does gas have to be to match Model 3?

    Right now my M3P is new so my energy use is high since I keep blasting around. Even with my current consumption, gas would need to be 81c to match my previous ICE car. If I am good and drive more reasonable it drops to around 60c. That assumes I baby my ICE car.

    Tesla 3 Performance v. Porsche 911 4S

    Great, detailed post. I struggled between my childhood dream of owning a slightly used 911, probably a 4s varient and the model 3. I already own a beautifully built, stage 2 tuned Audi S5 and doubted the M3P could be much better. Sure, the overall interior quality does not match the Audi or...

    TM3P day-to-day performance

    Mine is constantly low to mid 3's all the time as well. Truly impressive that it gets mid 3's in the wet every time. Sounds like something is amiss.

    New cars coming with 2019.35.108 V10.1 ?

    As someone in IT, I don't understand why they can't push these updates the first time the car connects to WIFI. Pretty much every other device in the world updates firmware the first time you connect it to the internet. I picked up my M3P on 3/13/20 and it still tells me my software is up to...

    New M3P won't software update after two weeks - 2019.35.108

    I picked my P3D up March 13th with the same software version. Mine is yet to update on advanced as well. Thanks for posting and all the replies. Sounds like mine will eventually make it into he rotation.

    Auto dimming mirrors

    I just picked up my M3P on Friday and noticed my side mirrors do not dim. I don't see the tale tale blue line either. Personally, I like the auto dim and am bummed it seems to be missing.
