If you can't fit them all in the back with the seat down, I'd be very surprised if you couldn't still get them home (Worst case: One in the trunk, 2 in the back seat (with the seat up), and 1 in the front passenger seat). I can't say definitively though (haven't tried it myself yet).

That particular trip is a close one. Driving at a slower speed (60mph?) in a LR M3 you should be able to get from OCK to Little Rock (350 miles) in 5:50. That range depends a lot on the weather though. If you divert through Tulsa to use the Supercharger (why Dallas instead of Tulsa?), you add...

Sure. But the comment I was replying to wasn't about slowing down to make it to the nearest supercharger. It specifically stated that it was faster to slow down so that you can SKIP a supercharger. Not A LOT. The point is that slowing down will not get you there faster. Certainly if you...

That doesn't seem to be true in the vast majority of real-world cases? If I drive 375 miles at 60 mph without stopping at a supercharger, it will take me 6 hours and 15 minutes. If I drive 375 miles at 80 mph, I'll spend 4 hours and 42 minutes driving. Are you suggesting that it takes 1 hour...

Bit of a copy/paste error in your report? Seems unlikely that the Long Range RWD will have "Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive". Also seems unlikely that the Standard specs will have "Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive".

It is. However, this "car alarm" will: Warn people off as they approach the vehicle (before they've ever touched it). Record video of the front and sides of the vehicle. Alert the owner of the vehicle via a push alert to the App on their smart phone. Furthermore, false positive car alarms...

I'm pretty sure the Chevy Volt and Bolt both report mi/kWh. I don't think there is a "standard". I think each manufacturer chooses whichever they prefer. Tesla prefers wh/mi. I suppose there might be a slight psychological benefit to reporting wh/mi instead of mi/kWh... When reporting...

This question has more to do with taxes and financial decisions than the Model 3. You'll probably get a better answer by talking to an accountant that is familiar with all the local laws as well as being familiar with your mothers personal finances (as deductions and credits often depend on the...

5) Audio volume... Are you referring to the the NAV audio? The phone bluetooth audio? The radio/entertainment audio? I think they are each set separately, and (I'll test this in about 4 hours) I *think* you may be able to save some of the volume settings to your driver profile.

270 - 180 = 90 miles of DAILY driving. Your commute is 30 miles round trip. 90 miles of daily driving - 30 miles of commuting to work = 60 DAILY miles of non-commuting driving. ??? So, every weekday, you drive 15 miles to work, then 15 miles home, then 60 more miles around your neighborhood...

As woof pointed out, it's more of a sudden slow down than a sudden stop. But the slow down is sudden enough and aggressive enough that it will REALLY annoy anyone immediately behind you (WTF is that Tesla braking for? There's nobody in front of him for MILES!), and if they're following too...

This is going to be up to individual preference. What one person finds relaxing and comfortable another person will find to be exhausting and awkward. You'll need to figure out what works best for you. That being said, I can tell you that I've found... By extending the steering wheel out and...

I thought the LR has a 75 kWh pack? If it does, then your math doesn't seem correct. 75000 watt hours / 310 miles = 241.9 Wh/mi Using more than 242 Wh/mi should result in total range on a full battery of less than the advertised "factored" 310 miles (since you're using too much electricity)...
