    Should New Owners Get EAP, FSD, or Stick with Basic AP?

    I have a Model 3 with EAP and the only feature I use that is not in basic is NOA. I do like it on long trips, but it's not worth the current price. BTW when all the talk started about regular price hikes for FSD 3 years ago I used the $2000 the upgrade would have cost to but TSLA stock. Stock...

    Tesla vs ICE in Emergency Evacuation?

    I think Tesla should re-think their past plan of giving free supercharging during emergencies. I know they don't want to be seen as profiting off a disaster, but there may be the unintended consequence of creating and incentive to use the superchargers more and increasing congestion. They may...

    Model 3 Charging Questions. *Looking at purchasing*

    You have never said how far your commute was. If you drive in a lot of traffic and the 1 hour round trip commute each day is relatively short you will have no problem using the normal 15 amp plug. If you do 80 MPH for most of the 1 hour round trip it is a different story. I have a short round...

    Getting pissed with degredation

    No need to torture yourself over "battery degradation", a windy or cold day will impact your true range much more than your change in battery capacity. Even low tire pressures will impact your true range. Rarely will the drop in capacity continue at the same rate to where you will need a...

    EAP to FSD - bite the bullet now or risk it?

    I also have EAP and love the NOA and auto lane changes. To me the additional features of the FSD for those relatively few of us with the long discontinued Enhanced Autopilot still are not worth it. My wife talked me out of the FSD upgrade when it was still $2000. I spent the money on Tesla...

    Portable Solar Charging Thought Experiment

    I have about 900 watts of panels that I installed on a shed with a 3000 watt pure sine inverter and a small bank of batteries. I have the system grounded to earth with a deep grounding rod and have used the system to run a pool pump, sprinkler timer and various power tools (and a crock pot to...

    Owning a Tesla in a state with no Serivice Centers

    I live in a state with no service centers. I needed mobile service for minor warranty issues twice and the service was fantastic. Great communication from the mobile service team who came and fixed things right at my house in a matter of minutes. Better by far than any other car service...

    Impressions of the Model 3 and Tesla service after 2 months of ownership

    Nice to see the great review! I've had mobile service twice for minor warranty issues and it has been fantastic. Last time they came and replaced a taillight with some condensation in it and proactively changed some part in the charge port in literally 5 minutes - right in my garage. It would...
