The price point of the SR is what brought me to the Tesla table when I needed to replace my ICE vehicle that I had driven into the ground. But as I considered weather the AWD and long range benefits convinced my frugal side to spend a little more money. For the OP it sounds like range is not an...

I rest my hands as I would normally do steering and simply add a little tug on the wheel left or right to add resistance instead of a squeeze. Not enough to knock it out of AP but enough to confirm hands are on the wheel. I tried the “squeeze” method but found it required a lot more effort than...

I had this same issue, then my son showed me how to turn it on in settings. When I was young I showed my dad how to program the clock on the VCR....my son has it a lot harder then I did growing up:)

I have a 2020 M3 stealth that I picked up a few weeks ago. My 90% was 279 miles pre update checking today after update I now show 90% at 267 miles. Car is in the garage where temperature has remained consistent around 51 degrees so this could be a change in software calculations on the new...

Lost the family dog a month before we got the M3....his nick name was Mr. Chips so the boys named the car “Mr.Chips!” in remembrance. Kind of fitting as he never really came when called, and ironically his soul appears to live on in the car when we try auto summon:) Just like the dog the command...

Helpful perspective I’m sticking with my order for the LR AWD....appreciate the response

Very good point on the range, being new to the car I hadn’t considered the margins for charging and temperature-I’ll stick with the LR appreciate the perspective very helpful! I live in Washington State running from the Peninsula to Bellevue with lovely 2 hour commutes can’t wait to experience...

I ordered a LR AWD last week but thinking about downgrading to an LR+ and stripping the add ons like FSF to get under the $45k limit for the sales tax exemption. Am I understanding this WA exemption that you get to deduct $2,500 in sales tax if the EV is under $45k new? Hate to give up the LR...
