"rulaman´s" post describes best why I made my reservation for a Model 3, And, because EM said earlier that towing will be available with Model 3. Otherwise, I shall drop my reservation (as many others might do as well in Europe) even I am very happy with my Model SD. I recommend Elon to speak...

Spot-on! DAVID99, let the car do the climatic control. Its sensors and hardware knows best. what to do. However, it never hurts to open doors and windows when the car was sitting in the sun for hours. But after, on the road, one should let the system do the job... meaning that one should not...

Its called reheat. To some of us it sounds paradox to turn-on heating and cooling (AC) simultanously. In older models one had to switch-on both indivitually. As in newer models it is done by just one button.. The way it works is pure phyics as we learnd it back in school: evaporation and...

In a way You are lucky that the Tesla Store is able to care (charge) the car. Just imagine if the car was sitting in a Customs car yard. It would be catastrophic to "brick" the battery because of stupid burocratic delays at Customs. Seen this happen with ICE Cars (or construction machines) when...

You are absolutly right about US- situation. But look at China! Some days (depending on weather) there are 100s of cities which ban Cars from entering. Even in Europe I can name half a dozend Cities right now where Polution is so servere that some days one can not enter a city unless You live...

Member BRANDO has given us some thoughts about carting away waste stuff from NYC. How about supplying such cities? Its again Elon who is thinking ahead. In a lot of populated areas, Park&Raid paces are being build outside the cities so, ICE-Folks, when they arrive can park their cars and move...

Right next to the glove box. Located somewhere in the middle of the Fuse panel. Refer to the rear of the Lid which covers the fuses.

On the Passenger side behind the small removabele cover next to the glove box. The Labels for the fuses are on the back-side of the cover.

Problem solved! The Fuse Nr. 23 (10A) was blown. Maybe the AC Compressor for the cooling circuit pulled a bit too high a current.

After I was "pushing" going uphill a bit harder, I had the Message "Power System Service required" (together with "FAULT") I could not find ID 1456 in any listing. (cooling of HV and Battery?) Car drives and charges normally. When dismissing message it goes away but comes back after a while...

IMO it is not so much wear as it is the effect behind the glass due to the lamp. I would call it more as "discoloring" the white background by temperature of the lamp. An LED would certainly have less "wear" as You put it.

Depreciation is one... being allowed to drive in city areas will be another.

Yes a wise decision for Your area. But allow me to mention: Over here in Europe and in Asia, there are times when You are not allowed to enter cities any more with an ICE-Vehicle. Paris, Stuttgart and soon, Vienna and Salzburg because of pollution. Every year other Cities will follow (Oslo) Now...

I will never go back to RWD simply because it not only saves on tires, but handles in snow conditions better. I have now experienced two winter season living on top of a 10 to 14% grade winding road. I fitted DUNLOPS WINTER SPORTS. Also I notice that AWD is even safer on a dry winding mountain...
