i’m sure this has been asked before (if so delete this). in terms of battery health (for a model 3 LR) — is the ACT of charging to 90-100% detrimental to longevity or is it charging to that amount and letting the car sit at that SOC? i.e. if i charged to 100% but theoretically drove off uphill...

love auto climate in the tesla, best in any car i've had (mainly audis).

2022 M3LR and have never run into this issue.

(moderator note) merged this thread on looking over the shoulder into this existing thread on blind spot visibility, as its the same general discussion) ========================================= just curious if people still always look over their shoulder when changing lanes on the highway...

i thought about doing this and even the full PPF (to get the matte black look, which is considerably expensive) but in the end decided it wasn't worth the cost. younger me would have definitely done it 😆 as my daily driver / "beater" (lots of highway miles), will just accept that the car will...

yep mostly for the fun factor. although it is nice to know you can easily overtake or accelerate yourself out of a bad situation if need be -- it has saved me in a few situations. best on unsuspecting victims in the passenger or back seats -- really wish you could record from the interior...

i was between the P and the LR and the ability to get acceleration boost (for me) was the deal breaker. i only cared purely about acceleration -- i did not want track mode, larger wheels, different suspension or the battery efficiency hit you take with them nor did i want to go through the...

my initial impressions review: 1 week review (M3LR). just hit 10k miles and wanted to give an update on my thought thus far. 1. autopilot this is probably the biggest surprise for me. when i initially tried AP i had significant phantom braking on the highway and it was terrible (nausea...

nope! everything has been great so far.

since my delivery in february, ive seen a substantial improvement in AP and curious if others have also noticed. initially i tried AP off and on for the first several weeks and had some bad phantom braking events. it was also terrible in stop and go traffic (waiting too long to accelerate, then...

i can echo that initial impression -- i really didn't like the look of ANY of the tesla line but the model 3 has grown on me the most (i actually think its the best looking model).

just had a similar experience. 2 road bikes on a 1up rear rack. round trip physical miles: 120 (mainly highway) tesla miles: 190 average speed around 70.

-sandisk 1TB extreme pro SSD -tesla all weather mats (frunk, interior and trunk) -tesla pet liner -tesla bros drop lock -spigen matte screen protector -jowua center console tray -jowua armrest organizer -motrobe cupholder insert -scentwedge scent inserts (not must-have but nice)

tried to wait as long as i could into ownership to get acceleration boost. lasted about a week. no regrets!

i dont like putting the bike in the interior that way -- besides it being a pain to put the bike in without taking off the wheels / using a chain keeper i also don't want my frame sliding around in the interior. way more convenient with the 1up system. the stealth hitch is nice -- when not in...
