Interesting. My dual motor Model Y drives incredibly smooth in chill mode, as did my similar M3. How much more smooth can it be? Regarding range, what is the real world difference in range?

Interesting! I always wondered what “partial premium” meant. Now I know. But what a funny phrase. Kind of like “partial zero emissions vehicle”. It either is or it isn’t! And in this case, it isn’t premium.

I'm now 6,000 miles in with the white after many years with the black. White is so much better. Car feels more open. And zero issues with keeping it clean. Honestly spit on a paper towel and wipe. (Don't tell my wife and kids I said that.)

Meaning held at 55% on average, right? Most work days I charge to 70 or 80% starting at 5am and drive it to work. I arrive at work around 55%, and when I get home at 6:30pm, I’m around 38% where it generally sits until 5am. Weekends sometimes I just charge to 55%. There are some weekdays I...

Just installed 2024.3.6 on my new 2023 (I got one of the last ones in February) MY. I have 250 miles of driving between Thursday and Saturday. Looking forward to trying out 12.3.2.1.go….

I just traded in my 2019 M3 for a new MY. I had 106,000 miles on it. I did have a few repairs over the years, but overall not bad. Had to replace the suspension, which was dumb, because it was only a few months before I traded the car in, but at the time I thought I’d be keeping it for a while...

I had black seats in my black M3. I have white in my new silver metallic MY. White all the way. And…my wife loves it. Bonus! Looking forward to a bit of a cooler car this summer. The black on black was brutal. Also, every mark, bit of dirt, etc. has come off easily with a couple rubs with a...

Agreed. Makes no sense.

That’s a valid point. But my Chill+ would only kick in at 100% to the floor. Or close to that anyway.

I need that Kick Down mode! I have another thread on here somewhere where I talk about how Tesla needs a “Chill+” mode where if you floor it, you get the full acceleration, but otherwise it’s chill mode. Anyway, first year or two with my Tesla I was in Normal mode. Now I’m in chill 99% of the...

Amazing the differences in experiences and opinions on this thread. That's all I have to say! (I'm still on 11.4.9.)

I scrolled up a bit to try to understand the context of this post. But I’m very confused by it still!

That’s a really good question! I guess I did well with the M3, and I want to do at least as well with the MY.

Hard to say. I had the 2019 M3 for 4 1/2 years and drove it 106,000 miles. The degradation was not bad, but it was there, and more than I wanted. The Stats app reported the car to have about 284 miles of range when I traded it in. When I first got the car, I would charge immediately when...

Amazing. That’s quite a stand you’re both taking! Post a pic of the UI? I could use a trip down memory lane…
