    Watt hours per mile to attain projected range

    I'm getting a 2023 Model 3 LR to replace my 2017 Model S. In the S, the magic watt hours/mile number to get the projected range was 306. If you drove to get 306 watt hours per mile, you'd make the range projection. What's the equivalent number for the 2023 Model 3 Long Range?

    Door opens when car put in park

    2017 Model S S100D. When the car is put in Park, all the door handles present out, but the left rear door pops open. I can close that door normally, but when the car is put in Drive, and the handles retract, you can hear the internal handle motor straining to retract the handle. I assume the...

    Cannot disable Lane Departure avoidance

    Hi Paula! I'm embarrassed to say that what I thought was a Tesla lane departure chime was actually coming from my 3rd party dashcam...I had never enabled that dashcam feature, but somehow it got turned on. Probably an app software update did it. But since I had never activated it, I thought it...

    Cannot disable Lane Departure avoidance

    2107 S100D One or two updates ago, it became impossible to disable the Lane Departure Avoidance chime. This means that at faster speeds, I get a chime EVERY SINGLE TIME I change lanes, regardless of whether or not I use the turn signal or the autopilot is on and I start the lane change using...

    Ranger service still available?

    When you set it up, using the app, I assume, did it say Ranger, or did you get a phone call from Tesla, or what?

    Ranger service still available?

    Has anyone had a Ranger service visit recently? I just used the app to schedule service, but it keeps making the appt in Scottsdale, AZ and I'm 150 miles north in Flagstaff. I want a Ranger visit if possible. My last service call a year ago for the same issue (front end rumble/rattle) was done...

    Supercharger- New River AZ

    Wow! I charge at Cordes 5-6 times per month, and rarely see more than two cars. A few times I've seen 6-8, but I've never seen it full and never had to wait.

    Hey Tesla, would you really go broke if you offered service as good as BMW?

    I'm on my third Model S. I've had one shop visit, back in 2016 and that was for a front windshield replacement due to a rock hit. It was done in one day, and I got a loaner. I've had two Ranger visits. One for a seatbelt service bulletin, and another for driver's window not closing correctly...

    Road tripping and charging to 100%

    I travel on business from Flagstaff, AZ to Phoenix and back about three times a month. Airline trip and the car is parked for 4 days usually. 2017 S100D. Due to the altitude change, you can't make it round trip even if you leave Flagstaff at 100%. I charge to 100%, drive the 154 miles to PHX...

    Why I recommend AGAINST buying a Tesla

    I sold my 90 after 1.5 years, as I could see the battery degradation writing on the wall.

    Tesla Should Update Firmware to Allow Regen Braking When Battery is "Full"

    I've been driving Model S cars since 2014 with 85, 90, and 100 batteries and have never seen this behavior, either.
