At 27,000 miles on my 2020 (Dec 2019 delivery) my projected max range is 292 miles (263 at 90%), which is down 9.5% from the original 323. I expected only seven percent degradation over 100,000 miles based on Model S data so this is disappointing. My average energy consumption has been 265...

No, only questions

The original Continentals will need replacement at about 26,000 miles on my Model 3 dual motor long range (2020). Has anyone tried the Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack as a replacement and how did the ride and noise compare? The Bridgestones have a five year 80,000 mile warranty which easily cuts...

I have the same problem. After I select a song or artist the server selects a sort of sub-genre that matches my selection. I love it, but over the past week or two it skips from some songs before they are finished.

The price break for the lower range is huge compared to the occasional minor inconvenience on long trips. Resale value for the longest range, however, seems to hold up better than for the ones with lesser range.

The EV’s from Jaguar and Audi are seriuosly overpriced compared to the Model Y. Performance, features, styling, and overall design fall short. (The Tesla mechanicals show ICE-driven alternatives to be Rube Goldberg contraptions and the interior styling compared to traditional interiors...

Advantage Tesla: direct to consumer sales, much more direct connection between pricing and customer demand, less exposure to inventory gluts which would force distressed sales.

I love my model 3 (2020 LR) and want a second electric with the functionality of an SUV hatch. The model Y is nice but a little too big. Why not produce a Model 3 with a hatch back? Minimal design and manufacturing differences could produce a compelling slightly smaller version of the Model Y.

My contacts from my iphone xr won’t link with the Tesla Model 3 system. Therefore the voice instruction “Call (name)” doesn’t work. (The recent calls do display.) What should I look to change in my contact list that might prevent the contacts from linking? I already looked for phone entries that...

The forum seems yo be a poor place for a question about lemons. There is an official definition for lemons in CA and information about lemon law buybacks should be publically available. My guess is that lemon law covers functionality and a Tesla has very few ways to fail. Regarding cosmetic...

Even if the increase in range is 54% how can the energy content be five-fold?

Well, some fanboy needs to respond here. I am a fan of automotive design and engineering with an ME degree and now only two years past being able to call myself a sexagenarian. Nice comment detail there and then wham a “socks off” conclusion! Some cosmic dissonance ensued. My 2020 M3 LR-4WD has...
