If you don’t have range to get to Cambridge and then on to Parkersburg if there aren’t functional stalls you really gotta drive to Parkersburg. I didn’t think to check PlugShare which is a really good idea. It would be nice if the status in the car was more informative. The Tesla info said it...

Supercharger has been showing “reduced service” and car doesn’t want to navigate to it since at least yesterday afternoon. Anyone know what’s going on? This was a bit of an ugly surprise in the midst of our day trip from Cleveland to Cumberland. We ended up having to driving down to...

Can't speak to what it would do in the future but it seems highly unlikely that it is currently airborne based on the infection rates. When you look at diseases that spread by airborne transmission like measles there is a significant difference in infection rates than with a droplet transmitted...

Elon has previously said that there's not enough space to fit the same filters that are in the S/X in the Model 3 but also said that the Model 3 has the 2nd best filters in a car. Coronavirus is not airborne but is spread by respiratory droplets like other respiratory viruses. Someone...

Got them and getting them installed shortly, will provide some feedback once that’s done.

Agreed. I owned an AP2 S75D (late 2016, coil suspension) for 15 months and have owned a P3D for 12 months. Unless you really don't care about the cost of the car, there are only a few compelling reasons to pick the S over the 3 and honestly to me only the first REALLY matters: If you really...

If it’s the noise I’m hearing, sounds like it’s rapidly but lightly hitting the brakes. It’s like a mildly version of what ABS sounds like when it engages in some cars. AP seems to be rapidly swapping between go and stop to balance the distance in stop and go traffic and sometimes even just...

I’m still waiting for my comfort coilovers from MPP

I’ve been contemplating changing my setting after this experience. I don’t know what was fixed and I don’t know whether being on advanced impacted things but it’s food for thought.

Similar to you - I'd had 2019.20.4.1 literally for 12 hours before it pushed the .20.4.2 update Makes me think that there's something important in the .2 updated to fix something in the .1 update. Normally they don't push things out that quickly. I haven't been able to deduce what is...

I fully understood what he wrote. Yes if you are getting exactly the same efficiency you would make it but I don't understand how this is an argument for using miles instead of percentage. I also don't understand how you can bet that you will get the same efficiency unless this is a road you...

You are only confident to reach your destination if you are getting rated efficiency or better. If I lived in a place where the temperature was 60+ most of the time and it didn't rain much I'd put my car on miles too. The reality is that I don't live in that place so I find percentage more...

Your answer seems reasonable I’m terms of we know that Tesla collects data to make decisions such as the prior power increases. The problem is that if the theory is that they created the overheat protection to protect electronics because they found that heat was an issue then why did they not...

I've not been able to get anyone at Tesla to acknowledge that this option exists. I asked a tech and he gave me a legitimately blank look. Any additional information is greatly appreciated. I've got MPP comfort coilovers on order but if there's another option that's free I have to explore it...

That is true in a number of states but I wouldn't characterize it as most states. It appears that at least half of states do not require you to stop on a yellow (of those some require it if pedestrians present though). This is based on a sampling of states on drivinglaws.org The important...
