How often do you rotate tires? 10k sounds ok

Maybe just cut the end off and pigtail it in the box instead of the connector and receptical?

I looks like a bad connection that caused some heat. I would bet changing the outlet and cleaning the plug, it will still work.

Just got the update on my 2020 AWD. I showed 198miles before the update and 203 after. Here are some captures. I didn't get a before from the app, but it showed 307 at 100%

Thats EPA testing that got bumped up. My 2020 Model 3 AWD said 322 miles on the website when I bought it, it displays 310, but I actually get less than that, so I would take that range with a grain of salt.

With a family of 3 or 4, either the 3 or Y is a good car. It comes down to personal preference. They Y has a little more room and sits up higher off the road which would help visibility, which in places like Texas where everyone seems to drive a truck, would be beneficial. The hatchback with...

Scheduled departure should do this already. Its in the charging tab. I know it currently some have a few issues with it, but hopefully it will get better with a software update. You could also set it via the app before getting ready to leave.

Ice cars turn off the compressor because it loads the engine, causing less power. Electric cars do not have that problem. The heat is resistive so turning it low or off is the only way to increase efficiency.

Not that I found. although the I think the rule is just for manufacturers, owners can probably do whatever. Tesla could give different horn sounds and that would be cool.

According to the NHTSA proposal, car manufacturers would be able to pick the sounds the vehicles make from a range of choices, and similar vehicles would have to make the same sounds. So I don't think it will be user changeable.

My car was delivered Saturday with the Front License Plate holder in the trunk, and it had the stickey tape
