    What will battery day do to our resale values?

    Sorry to hear that. I have had the exact opposite experience at 30k miles. My under 20k VIN 3 is more solid than either of those 2 cars at the same point of ownership. Nothing at all beyond the need for new cabin air filters so far.

    What will battery day do to our resale values?

    I made my only other 2 cars, a `91 manual Ford Escort and a `05 Prius, last 15 years each and both were still solid and able to be sold at the end. I have similar faith in the crew at Fremont (with a battery pack replacement or 2 on my way to 6 feet under).

    What will battery day do to our resale values?

    Exactly. I’m planning on being buried in mine. I’m 52.

    Full Charge Range

    This is my experience, too. I can sit a long time at a supercharger or my own 220V and only peak at 308. I used to let run down to around 5 miles at the end of odd months before a full charge but it never made a difference.

    Long term(ish) Model 3 owners, how reliable has the car been to you?

    Flawless. Exact 2 year owner of an LR RWD one after standing in line in March 2016. 30,000 miles in, I've had mobile service replace cabin air filters while I worked once and after taking some nails in 2 tires that couldn't be repaired, bought new tires last week. The service at my local Tesla...

    Tighten your lug nuts

    You have to wonder what these first time FUD posters are paid and by whom. So many losing market share to Tesla.

    Are we Really Really Saving Money owning a Tesla?

    I know I am. Paid on the average $34 more on my electric bill each month to drive around 1300 miles instead of $100+. See my spreadsheet.

    What did you name your Tesla?

    As a planetary and environmental science teacher with a daughter (whose future world is in question) that loves Tesla’s mission and the movie Interstellar... Murph

    Splitting a nema 10-30 outlet

    My 14-50 is right under my panel. It actually only cost me $30 for what he ended up needing.

    Still stuck on 2019.5.15

    Same here in NJ as a LR owner since May (in case that’s meaningful info).

    Stop complaining and start promoting if you want Tesla to survive!

    How is this coming as a surprise to anyone? They are computers on wheels and other buyers getting more for less soon after your purchase is the way tech markets go. I paid for it when I wanted it last May knowing someone could pay less for my LR in 2019-20 (well, without the full tax credit though).

    Do you prefer Creep On or Off?

    Absolutely true. I see the green bar indicating regen down that low. Yes, it’s a tiny speck of green but it’s there. Creep kicks in around 7 mph and the regen stops. Try it.

    Do you prefer Creep On or Off?

    OFF! Since turning it off, regen is pretty much happening all the way down to 0 mph in many stopping cases instead of having creep kick in to keep me moving at around 7 mph. With a commute that is mostly local roads or highways with lights that has me between 30 and 50 mph, going without creep...

    Blog Which Model 3 Color Will You Choose?

    Thanks for your concern but the 5-coat ceramic coating package I chose comes with a lifetime warranty should it lose those properties. He specifically told me the use of the touchless car wash would NOT void my warranty. Ask for Nick should you have more questions: AO Detail - South Jersey &...

    Any perfect mattress for 3 certain yet?

    My apologies if this is discussed elsewhere (a search didn’t turn up a definitive thread on it) but did anyone find a perfect mattress yet for the 3? Camping later this month and it’s time to pull the purchasing trigger. Thanks!
