I'll take two if there are any left.

My unintentional record was 0%/zero miles very shortly after purchasing my Model 3 Performance. I took a 180 mile trip with three co-workers. About thirty miles from the destination the range started to drop fast -later I learned it was because the temperature was dropping fast too. We were...

I'm in Charlottesville too, and I was wondering if you ever found a good local solution.

So it sounds like roughly 92.5" wide with the mirrors and 106" long. Interestingly, I did find a site that reports key dimensions here: https://www.cars.com/research/tesla-model_x/specs/ Note that the length they report is 198"! Finally, I suppose the best thing to do is a test-fit. So, is...

My aunt is considering a Tesla Model X and as a happy Model 3 owner I trying to sell her on it. She currently has a Lexus 450h (hybrid) for comparison. One of her big concerns is the ability of the X to fit in her garage. I tried to find dimensions of the X WITH the hatch opened and with the...

I daily drive a Lotus Elise SC. For three seasons, it's pure joy (and I've had it for years). I've also had lots of other performance cars -mostly BMWs, including two 850CSis and an Audi RS6 (automatic transmission). Yet I still *really* enjoy driving the Model 3 (Dual Motor, Performance)...

Annoying passengers and In-laws are fair game too.

These are, without exception, all improvements I would endorse. My first winter with the M3 I found myself puckering up once or twice from aggressive regen on a very steep slope. I also found it challenging to climb some hills without going to chill mode. Winter wheels and tires helped, but...

Agreed! I spent a week at Emerald Isle this summer, as I have for the past 40 years, and this time charging my Tesla was a concern. I managed to get by with a standard 110V feed, but only because others in my party could handle a lot of the driving. By the end of my week, there was enough...

I've got both the M3 and an Audi RS6 with a white interior. Both have black-dominated dashboards/trim/arm-rests with not a hint of white. I would not expect Tesla to have differentiated parts for the interior trim pieces.

Happens to me every day. Lasts about two minutes or roughly one mile.

I have never had issues with "deep sleep" but I do have walk-away lock enabled and sentry mode disabled. I also do not routinely open the app prior to going into the garage in the morning but I have my phone with me. And in every case, the charge cable is locked into the port until I open a...

I hope they fix this. As it stands, I risk ending up in the hospital with both femurs broken if I can't find my name in the menu fast enough.

That is indeed an option. But it autolocks now when I go out of range with my phone -which is an awesome feature. So I would have to hunt down the unlock option on my phone ... which really isn't much better than doing the same thing in the morning.

@TiggerTime ... I am using the Tesla charger and pressing the button does nothing until the car is unlocked by pressing a door handle.
