2020.12.6 was applied to my Model 3 last night. Tried it out today. Works very well. Just amazing!

Got the Version 10 update this morning, on my 2019 Tesla Model 3. Here's a one minute Youtube video I made on the summon feature using my car. I was a bit nervous, but it worked very well. Some people passing by were impressed. Me too! Cheers! Jim

What he said! I'm an Applications Programmer (geek) and enjoy it throughly. New technologies fascinate me. Got my Model 3, AWD Long Range in June 2019, and FSD was a must. But that's me. FSD parking ability is far superior to my own. For "me", I almost feel like that's worth the price of...

Received my 2019 Long Rang Model 3 on June 10 in Denver, Colorado. Took about 30 minutes for the paper work, walk around the car, checking things out, and how-to questions. No up-sales on anything. It's my 2nd Tesla purchase. Experience is better than another other dealership.

Odometer. Ha Ha Ha! So that's what that is. Thanks!

Picked up my Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor last Monday. It was not fully charged but battery said it had 293 miles of charge. It's been driving great. My current charge is 220 miles but the battery icon looks about two thirds full. Today I noticed, under the Software screen, It says "240...

Replaced my 2017 Model S 75D, with the 2019 Model 3 Long Range. I like the size of the Model 3. Fits me better. Very pleased. Cheers! Jim

Bought my new 2017 Model S in August 2017 which is currently at the SC for a chewed wire harness. This is my 3rd wire hardness! Tesla SC said they are working on a solution. At least they are paying for the 3rd wire harness. There must be a better way. This never occurred on my prior ICE...

Odd, I received the same, but for $40.60. Same date. I never purchased the advanced autopilot.

#SW2Fiddler Very interesting to read that Colorado Bill. Thanks for the link! If I get a ticket, I'll post it here. But I think I'm worrying for nothing. Thanks!

When at work, and if it has snowed during the day, about 30 minutes before departing work for home, I preheat my Model S to help with defrosting. And it's nice to come to a warm car and it helps the batteries (so I'm told). I work in a city where "Puffing" is illegal. Briefly, here's a...

Got the 9.0 update yesterday on my 2017 Model S. Lost sleep playing Atari games. LOL! Lots of fun!

It depends. I drive a Model S. My daily roundtrip commute is 27 miles. Depending on weather, that's about 10 kWh. Since I have two Powerwall 2 batteries, it will store a total of 27 kWh. In this case, I can easily top-off my car on a daily basis, so long as I have 10 kWh of juice in my...

My house is in close proximity to a local high school. I didn't want the kids messing with the batteries. And I had plenty of room in the garage.

Passed all inspections! System has been on for one week now. Batteries are filling nicely. I especially like the Tesla app and how it shows you the solar electricity generation and where it goes (battery, house, grid). Really awesome stuff! Cheers! Jim
