    At what point below charge limit does car start automatically charging?

    Yes I should have noted that. If it's set to scheduled start charging at a certain time, it may restart then at that time, the next day. But if you are before that time, and it drops, it will not bring the level back up to your set charge level. That's my experience. IF you don't have set...

    At what point below charge limit does car start automatically charging?

    No, when it reached 100% SOC at the Supercharger, I started driving. I gradually made my subsequent charges less in terms of DOC. So I let it go down to around 38% or so I believe from 100%. Charged back low 80s, let it go down to 40's. Charged back to 70ish, same thing. Now I set the...

    Battery Strategy and Degradation at 10k Miles

    I'm not sure if the member ran the battery degradation test, perhaps they did. But 7.5% does not sound correct for 344 miles of range out of 358 remaining. I understand the calculation - Your taking 4% range loss starting from 79kWh, but if your taking into account the top buffer, you seem to...

    At what point below charge limit does car start automatically charging?

    The Tesla Wall Connector does not automatically re-start after dropping 3% below your setpoint. This week, I set it to max at 65%, which I confirmed with the app it reached at the time the charging stopped. Approximately 8 hours later, my SOC was down to 61% and my car was still plugged in...

    Supercharger - Blakeslee, PA

    Great stop in the Poconos area. Wawa drastically overpriced. Restroom pitstop only.

    New tesla model 3 RWD battery drain while parked problem and park assist unavailable

    I haven't previously heard of this problem. Perhaps it's so new that Tesla's engineering team has recently found out about it and is investigating. If it was my car, I would do the following; (I have no clue if any of this would help or not, but as a Tesla owner with some knowledge a bit more...

    Buying a used tesla…

    I'm on the opposite side and would definitely pay the extra 10k for peace of mind and get a brand new one, maybe even wait for a '24. Your already spending 30k, or about 75% of the cost of a new one, and getting a lot less. New has full warranty, fresh new battery, no wear and tear on the...

    New tesla model 3 RWD battery drain while parked problem and park assist unavailable

    10 month owner - Something similar happened to me, but only once. After I parked it, it sat in the garage for about 48 hours. The battery consumption was something like 12 or 13% with everything off, which never happened before, and the car was asleep. Most of the time when I park it...

    Bought a 40.5k miles 2020 Model 3 with significant Battery degradation. What can I do?

    Yeah I have the big 82kWh. I had no idea that my range doesn't drop until I get below 79kWh. But that does make sense there's a buffer on the top, given that there is also a buffer on the bottom end so that you can still drive a short distance at 0% SOC. I would say from your statistics that...

    Ordered Model 3 LR today, delivery is in 2 days. Should we be concerned?

    I wouldn't be concerned, but be sure you do your research and know how to do a VERY thorough pre-purchase inspection. I would highly suspect the car is a prior reject from a customer. Amazing how times have changed. It took me 4 months to get my car! 6 miles on the odometer at purchase.

    Door hinges on passenger side damaged during delivery inspection. is that common issue?

    Looks like a new operator on the line installing the pass. side doors in general assembly caused the damage. It's one of the harder jobs in assembly to learn.

    Bought a 40.5k miles 2020 Model 3 with significant Battery degradation. What can I do?

    5% "calendar" or time degradation, for one year, sounds way too high to be an average. Of course there a ton of variables, but if you have 5% degradation in your first year, there is some component of your driving/charging routine that could likely yield better results. I have less than 1%...
