    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    Agreed. There are plenty of roundabouts in Sarasota, but since it’s Florida, drivers don’t seem to bother using turn signals. I believe there is a plan to add roundabouts up and down Tamiami Trail (US 41) I think I’ll be good with the turn signal buttons in the Highland M3 as reviews have said...

    Yes, FSD transferred, but FSD Beta did not!

    Traded my 2018 Model 3 for a new Model Y (with HW4) in early August. Received the 2023.26.11 update on 8/30 which gave me FSD Beta v11.4.4. I needed to go into the car to select FSD Beta after the update. I expect you will get it soon.

    NEW Model 3 Highland review!

    I don't see any cut lines in the rear lights. Does this mean that the entire rear light assembly is attached to the trunk lid? I haven't seen any photos yet of the trunk open (showing the larger trunk).

    How do I find out what my current Range of a Model Y Performance 2020

    Even charging to 100% may not indicate your current full range. You may need to recalibrate the battery management system (BMS). You can Google it, but here is one article: Here's how to recalibrate your Tesla battery to regain lost miles on range - Tesla Oracle If you do charge to 100%, I...

    Comparison of Mobile Connectors (for those new to Tesla)

    I have wanted to purchase the Corded Mobile Connector but it is always "Out of Stock." I wonder if or when it will ever be available for purchase.

    Thinking of purchasing my first Tesla

    I understand your concern about trading in now. I don't know what the right answer for you is. I'm not trying to complicate your analysis, but as to the cost of adding a 240v outlet in your garage, you might consider that a capital improvement to your house rather than a current cost of...

    Just a note: For your outlet installation, give the electrician the Tesla instructions for installing the Nema outlet. Tesla's different instructions for different outlet types allows the Tesla mobile charger chassis to hang down rather than being above the outlet. (Then, talk with the...

    The old Tesla cable organizer looked like that, but it didn’t come with the chassis holder. I had the old Tesla one at our prior condo and liked that there was that slot to holder the end of the charge cable. I don’t know why Tesla redesigned it. Here is a picture of my old set-up at our old...

    Just a note: With your outlet oriented that way, the mobile charger chassis will be above the outlet. Previously that was a problem, but Tesla has solved it by selling a chassis holder. It comes with the new version of its cable organizer bracket (just a bracket to hold the cable when not...

    Are you planning to charge at home? If so, will you install a 240v outlet? If so, you’ll need to buy the Tesla 14-50 or 6-50 adapter, depending on your outlet.

    I am behind in my reading of posts on this thread, so this may have already been mentioned -- You are likely NOT able to delay your purchase beyond Sept 30th if you are offered the car before then. Keep in mind that Tesla only books a sale when title is transferred to the purchaser (unlike car...

    I had 240v outlets installed in our garage and use the mobile charger with the 14-50 adapter. That adapter does not come with the car, so you need to purchase it from Tesla. Also, ask the electrician to install a high quality 14-50 outlet. Tesla has installation guides for each adapter. See...

    In 2019, I bought a demo M3LR since it matched my order. It has been perfect from the start. And I got a decent discount on the purchase price. (Unlike ICE vehicles, where abusing the engine early may cause future problems, I don't believe a demo of a Tesla is a real problem.)

    This is what the TireRack site is really good for: Search tires by vehicle, then select optional size (19") and then in the Category selection, select All-Season from the applicable category (Touring, Performance, Winter/Snow). Here is the link for tires for a 2021 Model Y Performance...
