I plug in my 2021 MY every time I park it in the garage, mostly to build the habit......That way I won't be in bed when I suddenly realize that I hadn't plugged in my car one night and I have several hours of driving the next day. My daily use ranges from 15% to 70%, but every time I use it...

My front plate was stuck on my MY with very strong double sided tape when I got it......Not strong enough to survive an unfortunate wildlife encounter, so I had to replace my plates. I got a front plate holder from Amazon and it's working well. Yes, it blocks a bit of the airflow, but not...

Depending on where the screw is. I have a kit in my car, but it won't help in some locations.

Thanks for the feedback!

They are also separate on the Tesla -- TACC, traffic-aware cruise control, slows (and stops) in response to the speed of the vehicle ahead, and is unrelated to the posted speed limit. In my MY, it's one pull down on the right stalk. When in "Autosteer" (two pulls down on the right stalk), it...

I think electric cars do better in tough situations like that than ICE cars do.

Or invest in a tiny, portable lithium battery booster, like those from Noco, and stash it in your frunk. Safer and faster than waiting for someone willing to jump start your car.

I get my Nokian Hakkas at Kal Tire. I got a flat driving over some metal in my driveway and they replaced it for free (I swapped it for an all season at home for the drive into their shop).

No problem - I do it before road trips all the time (but only for road trips). It cuts down on the time (and cost) I have to spend at the Supercharger along the way.

I had a Nissan Leaf for a couple of years before buying my 2021 MY........it was my first EV, and it was terrific. If I hadn't had a life location change that required greater range, I would have kept it, and I recommend it to anyone who rarely uses a car outside of city commutes and errands.

Hi have a 2021 MY; I use Hakkapeliittas for winter, and I just replaced the original Continentals with Pirellis this spring (108,000 km).

I lost my front plate in an unfortunate encounter with wildlife. Before I got replacement plats, I bought a plate holder that attaches to the grill under the nose of the car. Looks fine, seems secure, no problems...

I bought the car knowing it too, but that doesn't mean I like it......it just means I thought the pros outweighed the cons when I considered the car.

It's infinitely configurable to Tesla, which means that they can make it worse as well as make it better, and that's not good. If it was configurable by the end user, I'd probably feel differently, because then I could configure it so the controls I most want accessible are easier for me to...

Wow, thanks for that clip - I have no memory of there being a screen in cars back then (and I would have been in my 20s).
