I actually regularly get over the range in the summer on my M3LR. I do almost no highway driving. When I charge to 80%, it shows anywhere from 230-238, but I will get 250. When I do the highway, it is not over 65 as I try to avoid any chance of a ticket.

What? That is utter nonsense. What clown at Tesla thinks that not getting 421 would be a problem with the car? Sounds like a comedy skit.

Heh, this is like a play on words, with kind of double negative. "Reduction in degradation". Are you saying below 55% causes more or less degradation.

I heard that bullshit too about it being a run flat from Mavis because they were inept or lazy. I went elsewhere and got it patched, not plugged.

That is F*ed up. I would never buy a car if that was the cost of insurance. After about 8 years, your insurance paid would be more than the car, assuming 10-20% increase per year. There are so many factors fir insurance, but I pay $1187 for 12 months in New York metro area. 250/500 with $1k...

Less than 2000 miles in a 6 month span? You need to drive more ;-) Although I can't dis you too much as since I have been working from home, I am less than 5k per year. My May 2019 M3LR just hit 20k.

Are you complaining or celebrating?

I thought you can export your playlists. Then import them when you get a n ew account. Am I wrong?

Tesla is very slow to react. I had free supercharging for 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever came first. Turns out it took them over 8 months to stop it. My premium connectivity also went well past the 1 year mark. So don't get excited and think they forgot about you if you still have it February...

Does the streaming music work? When I got my car, I like many others thought premium connectivity was lifetime, as I was told that. Three months after I received my car, Tesla now only gave one year of premium and they anti-grandfathered it away from the people who had it. Ok, no big deal, so I...

Might be cheaper to go to a supercharger, unless the SC are higher in MA also.

You don't, it should just be already set when you get the car. I don't know how it is done now, but when I got my car in 2019, Slacker was included and was told it is just a "tesla account." You cannot know the login, although previously, people were given the login from Tesla if they asked, but...

No, the Tesla account is proprietary. Making a free account will not carry over anything to the Tesla and you cannot even login in the Tesla with the free account. At least that's the way it was with Slacker.

What does none purchased mean?

This chart is usless. New York rates vary from 12 cents per kWh to 27 cents per kWh. Average is useless when the spread is huge.
