    Car washes in the GTA?

    I will try this for my next wash, however although Dundas and 3rd line location uses a rail pull it's quite wide and did not scratch my wheels. And indeed it cleaned the car very well.

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    @Rocky_H @darth_vad3r I still feel it's better to be conservative with 125% on ABRP when you are driving SR+, however your point about highway speed limits makes sense. Usually personally I do not drive at 100miles, max 80 m/hr (130KM/hr)

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    thanks for the advise @KenC , the idea of waypoint is good, I will add that in ABRP. And yes, I will be charging in Dedham SC once I reach Norwood., although my Hotel in Norwood has a destination charger (don't wanna rely on that). However I am not sure about Browser in car, mine is SR+ and does...

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    Got it @darth_vad3r , this makes sense and I will keep it to 125% to be conservative. And as I said I usually use Traffic Aware Cruise Control

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    @MrMassTransit, thanks for the advice, I have experienced that speed definitely is the one of the key factors of battery drain. I am planning to drive around limit+10 miles/hr mostly on traffic aware cruise control. Hope that will give me optimum drive efficiency

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    I believe cabin overheat protection is definitely required, it protects all the electronics and battery when cabin temps reaxh certain thresholds of min -20 and Max 40 degree Celsius. So this is definitely required and I don't think advisable to be turned off. On the other had sentry mode is...

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    Yes, I will try adjusting settings in my model 3 for cabin overheat and sentry mode as well, however I believe Tesla engineering team needs to work on improving effeciency of these required functionalaties so they consume min battery.
