Yes- it IS all about driving style. So many people are quick to blame the car when in fact it’s their right foot that is the key. (And yes, I know rain, temp, terrain, headwind etc have a big effect too.) My lifetime use in my “stealthy P” is around 156 Wh/km (249 Wh/mile). Never forget that...

Well I ordered roof racks in late November, still nothing. Not happy, to put it politely!

Yep! I think this is just a first iteration, and that it will improve. When I first received it, I was not happy..... but weeks on and I’ve grown to like MOST of it. VERY BIG Improvements include rear camera selection always available at the bottom of the screen, Nav turn info always there...

This has to be a FAIL, or at least a C-. I wish I’d held off for as long as possible. I’m 66, my wife is 64, and we both hate it. The fonts are too small, speed is much harder to read, other things including (but not limited to) PNDR are harder to read. (My wife uses “creep” for safety ...

Same, have a Bluetooth 12v monitor and I can see exactly what the car is doing. If it’s parked in my garage, it sleeps peacefully and awakens briefly once a day to top up the 12v. Photos : : car sleeping soundly, and then car awake and driving for a few hours in the middle of the day, with the...

Yeah, except, that’s classic from ANY dealer on ANY make, and ANYTHING BUT unique to Tesla. It’s just shonky mechanics cutting corners, taking the easy way out, and here’s the thing- such guys work at many mechanical workshops and dealers. The things I could tell you about dealers work from...

Amazing some of the posts here, saying it should have been fixed for less, is unique to Teslas etc I actually thought the repair cost to diagnose, find and repair the damage was very reasonable. I had my first car damaged by rodents (rats?) in the ‘70’s, and again in the early ‘90’s. I’m sure...

The heat pump will come, maybe next week, maybe next year. It’ll come, great for those in cold climates- (doesn't matter at all for those not.)

So how on earth is someone going to steal your Tesla from the airport (or shops, or anywhere)? Maybe if you lose your phone or keycard, but that’s why I enable PIN to drive. For a very small inconvenience, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.

Great summary. We have had our car a year here in Oz (Australia) and love it more every day. It’s a stealthy P. It’s by far the best car, and the best new car experience we have ever had! Even a year later I still look for excuses to go for a drive. Elon summed it up so well years ago when he...

Not sure you can find lifetime, however make your own as follows: Once you get “since last charge”, scroll upwards. There are four totals, 1. Since xx:xx (latest drive). 2. Since last charge. 3 Trip A. 4. Trip B. .... so you can reset just one for a trip. I leave the last one alone and don’t...

I do not need a lecture on what’s safe, and what’s not safe. I’m not a 17 year old. And yes, I’m very well aware of the dangers of distracted driving. “There is a reason the car nags you to pay attention when AP is engaged.” Really! I never would have guessed it! Seriously! Apart from the...

Well I’m a senior, and honestly couldn’t be much happier with everything on my 3. After 12 months of ownership I’m totally in love with the car! The voice control does most things (though still needs to improve it’s accuracy) and the screen is very simple and logical. If I actually need to do...

This saddens me a little, because I’m also getting on a just a little, (though maybe not as much as you), yet absolutely adore the functionality of my “computer on wheels“. My wife is also perhaps one of the least technical people on this side of the world, (Australia) but she’s also more than...

Why don’t you have mudflaps fitted? It was one of the very first accessory items I fitted to my car- and was in fact ordered well before I took delivery, and then fitted by me on the second day after delivery. We don’t have salt and ice to deal with here, but I’d never own a car without...
