Aha!- I think I found the answer to my question: The Start Charging and Scheduled Departure functions ARE decoupled, i.e., totally separate - though the interface (at least to me) makes them look coupled. It's actually an either/or situation. You can simply start charging at a certain set time...

Yes but there is also a seemingly coupled and required DEPARTURE TIME button as well in the recent software. That stops charging and activates climate preconditioning at a prescribed time. I want to START charging at a prescribed time but not have it stop until it meets the charge I set, and...

As a new Model 3 owner but long-time Roadster and Volt owner, I am wondering: Is good old simple charging start time (without departure target time/preconditioning) not an option? I want to set charging to begin at midnight but my departure times are highly variable and I do not want any climate...

Update: Had ordered 10/24, no VIN in source or reliable communication as of 12/30 when I stopped in to inquire about Stealth Performance upgrade possibility in person --> was hard-matched on the spot to a Stealth, same specs (blue metallic, black interior, 19" wheels). VIN appeared in source...

Looks like CA cars are finally rolling into delivery sites. I ordered 10/24 AWD blue/black 19" wheels and had still not had a VIN in source or any reliable info or communication as of Sat Nov 30, despite inquiries about upgrading to Stealth Performance to potentially speed up the process. To my...

Just received the email. A delight to read. Reads as if Elon has heard us and is doing exactly the right thing, I am 2nd owner, purchased a garage queen with very low miles in 2015. Car now has just under 6K miles on it and the battery has a CAC of 157 thanks to low miles and careful battery...

(Positive!) Update to my previous post: Despite being told twice by Tesla Support that my Oct 24 2019 order was not in the system, I received a call from a Corte Madera advisor on Nov 8 confirming my order. He estimated delivery target (I'm in northern CA) for 'the 2nd or 3rd week in...

Thx but do note: Tesla Support specifically told me to contact Corte Madera!

I'm in Model 3 order purgatory as follows: 1- Ordered LR/AWD blue/black 19-in sport wheels, no FSD, on 10/24/2019 - before clicking through to finalize order, delivery time said 'within 2 weeks' 2-After clicking through to finalize order, delivery time on submitted order now said '5-9 weeks' 3-I...

2nd owner. Car is in my Tesla Account. Have not received the email. Hope springs eternal.

Thank you for sharing these great videos. Kudos to Peter Gruber for having the vision, technical knowledge and skill, artistry, and soul to undertake this. We salute you! No doubt my Roadster #243 or its PEM will visit the Gruber workshop someday. (Hopefully not for awhile - so far so good...

The limited evidence (Tom Saxton's Plug-in America Roadster study - https://survey.pluginamerica.org/tesla-roadster/PIA-Roadster-Battery-Study.pdf ) has suggested: “Of the factors considered—miles driven, vehicle age and climate— only mileage showed a significant correlation with battery pack...

Wow- what a beauty. Nice CAC - further supporting evidence that Roadster battery capacity retention is all about mileage (as surrogate for number of recharges). The dark gray suede interior is sweet. If I were in the market for a 2nd Roadster, this would be it. Good luck with the sale.

Good to know! These look exactly like my 1.5 keys. Do you have the part # for the key fob and the key blank? Thx.
