Model 3 Stealth P owner here. As part of my "ongoing education" I did back-to-back-to-back drives in a 2024 Model Y, 2024 Model 3 Highland, and my 2018 Model 3P on a local loop of surface streets, mountain road, and freeway. My take: The Model Y is a great car, and a surprisingly-good handler...

Salsa’s Taqueria

Was also a first for us in our 2015 85D. All of four stalls. Felt like a real adventure then. Great memories!

Beautiful part of the world you live in. Must be glorious driving a Model 3 on those roads!

Have driven CC and then C2 for years. Experience echoes TireRack testing results. Very happy in rain, snow and ice. A must for winter rains and mountain snows. But a 15-20% range hit vs. OEM Primacies. Certainly noticeable when driving between widely-spaced desert Superchargers.

California is similar. Bare roads in the urban lowlands, absurd snow amounts just a few miles away in the mountains. Sydney/Canberra/Melbourne —> Thredbo must be the same.

Great car on mountain roads. I drove nothing but stick from 1986 until I got my first Tesla. Among other things, loved the ability to downshift on descents to minimize brake usage. Regen feels exactly like that. Model 3 is my favorite hill and mountain car ever!

One Further Thought Removal of USS parking assist is another unforced error and step backward. Vision-based system is way less precise and consistent. Of course, only a true problem in really tight spaces or other situations when you need to get really close … especially in front, where...

Drove Highland this weekend. “Mulholland Lap” here in LA (mountain road, surface streets, freeway nibble). Back to back to back with our own 2017 M3 RWD and 2024 MY demo car. Agree with OP and general thread consensus. Turn signal learning curve was brief. New PRND approach is fine. And...

As someone who knew and worked with Munger for forty years, I can tell you that Berkshire would not buy Tesla at this valuation ... and with this CEO. It's not that they are allergic to tech. They were very early big investors in BYD and are one of Apple's largest shareholders. They look...

Same after 5 years ... look forward to every drive! BTW, just checking to make sure you know they're some nice looking wheels under those aero covers. Just add center caps, preferably in red!

How old is your son?

We have rented through Turo through years, and the experience keeps getting better: Phone access. Cars that aren't nerfed (no Premium Connectivity, etc.) In Sydney, we used evee, a new peer-to-peer company a la Turo. Super-good experience: Tesla app access with our own profiles from home...

What’s Not: Tesla promising the Museum folks (who are lovely) to provide large trash cans but not doing so. Some of us Tesla drivers being completely unthoughtful dumping our garbage, anyway. Museum folks forced to clean up our yuck.
