------------------ Well, deduct at least 40% for California winter! And if on a long road trip, use the Energy app to see projected range. It seems pretty accurate as it can be based on last 30, 15, or 5 miles. To my own chagrin, discovered Tesla Model 3's severe range limitations while...

You need to activate the live traffic and satellite view. It's not very intuitive or obvious (till someone tells you where to look for it). There are two symbols, a globe and a traffic light, at bottom right of the map on the console. Use them to turn on/off these features.

Hope you have activated it by now. If not, you will see traffic light and globe symbols bottom right of the map on the console. Use them to activate real-time traffic and 3D maps during the trial. Enjoy!

Thanks! I found out the same after much research, in a forum on Tesla's website. Wish they told users what to do, in the Premium Connectivity trial invitation email. There are several posts of people complaining that it's still not working, when it actually is!! I showed my car to customer...

For the recently announced Premium Connectivity 30 day free trial - Are real-time traffic visualization and Satellite-View maps working for anyone for their their Standard Range Plus, purchased in 3rd quarter 2019?

I have the setting set to "on". Thanks for making me aware of this :-). Will remember to switch it off if car will be in a hot area for an extended period. However, this setting will only help keep the cabin temperature in control (under 105 F). Is there a mechanism to keep the battery...

For model 3, has anyone noticed fans kicking in from time to time under the hood? It creates a distinctive whining sound. This happens during charging (I suspect to cool the batteries), but have also noticed this happening if the car is not charging but is parked in the hot sun or a hot garage...

I bought my Model 3 June this year and drove it 600+ miles the very next day, experiencing both city and highway driving. Have enjoyed it since, including autopilot. No significant issues, certainly NO mechanical issues. Aspects of autopilot and the user interface need further improvements...

Now my model 3 charged 72% / 172 miles, which translates to 238 miles at 100%. Just a week or so back, I charged fully to only 235 miles instead of 240, so I am quite happy with the new estimate of 238 at 100% and realize that these are estimates. No need to sweat 5 miles here or there! That...

Agree. I charged to 100% and noticed during city driving that regen was very weak, almost hard to notice - car would very gradually coast when I eased off the accelerator, like a gas car. I guessed it could be because the battery did not need further charging or the current requirement for...

My SR plus bought a month ago charged only to 235 miles at full charge instead of 240. That was the first time I charged it to full 100%, that too with a mobile charger. Should I expect 235 miles at 100% for subsequent full charging for at least a year or two? If it drops another 2-3 miles or...

I was losing about a mile an hour on my parked new model 3. All it took was a visit to the service desk at Tesla. They advised me to configure Sentry Mode to off when at home, and voila! It worked like magic! Idle discharge is now only 0.5% in 24 hours. Sentry mode is a battery hog. Expect...

Correction / Update. The console graphic showing where to tap the key card to unlock the console and be able to drive, is incorrect. The manual states it correctly. It's the area just below the handrest, next to the cupholder. Touch the key card there and it unlocks the console screen and...

Thanks for correcting. Another post in this thread lists what's currently available under FSD (for 6k price tag) and more is supposed to follow in 2019. No one is disputing that it's not Full Self Driving, but fact remains that FSD, an evolving product, is being sold as an option as of July 2019.

"Avoid it by getting in the car and stepping on the brake". That's a great trip. Thanks!
