A buddy of mine with a Model 3 says that I'll recover most of the energy spent going up the hills as I go down. Is that true?

Thanks. Both it and Tesla would have me go south to HWY 2 which would add considerable time. There's destination charging in Winthrop as it turns out that should, getting an extra 30-60 miles, make the difference to get to Burlington.

is there a route planner you'd recommend?

My wife, sister and I always head to Winthrop WA from Seattle for a blues festival in July. After each festival, we travel someplace interesting. This year, the plan is to travel to White Rock BC to visit my son and grandkids. This is the first year that our Tesla MYLR is available for the...

Comedians don't willfully disrupt democracy with malicious intent.

No I don't. I don't operate with perfect information. Few of us do of course. BUT I will know if Musk adds to the disruption of our democracy. I agree that Trump won't recruit new members to his base at this point but it sure could churn his base in dangerous ways.

I tweeted him yesterday letting him know that, should he work to enable Trump to spew his lies and undermine US democracy, I will have bought my last Tesla. I'd encourage similarly-minded folks to do the same.

No, never figured it out. Was this ever supported?

We're leaving town for several days without the car. What are the pros and cons of keeping it plugged in while we're away? Is it consuming a lot of electricity? TIA, David

Right, as you and MY1stEV suggest, I have features from other versions as well now. It makes it difficult to assess the full set of 'new' features coming with any particular update. Seems like a crazy versioning system to me. Is there something I'm missing in terms of the wisdom underlying...

Right, but how do I know if features from intervening updates are included in my new update (or even if there ARE intervening updates) even though not listed as associated with that specific update?

I'm currently on 2021.36.8. I'm now getting 2021.44.6 pushed to me. I can see the notes for what's in the new version. Is that the sum total of the difference between the two versions or are there intermediate versions I wasn't pushed and thus have no idea what the total set of new features I...

I can only text with one person at a time but I have numerous group messaging going on. Any speculation as to when group messaging would become available in an update? David

What's the secret to playing entire albums/CDs on Spotify? When I say "Play the album [album name] by [artist name]" it plays some [artist name] radio. What's worse, when I ask "Play [song name] by [artist name]", it also gives me [artist name] radio, and it doesn't even play the song I...

I've looked at the app and it's not clear which preferences you have in mind. Can you be a bit more explicit?
