    Elon Musk

    Twitter fascination and purchase embodies all that is immature and stupid about Elon. Crossed the fine line from genius to insanity and smashed our investments with him. Thev wholev world and financial markets disrespect this move. No wonder the board of Tritter was unanimous. How would a poll...

    Elon Musk

    So we understand the Company forum was closed because it got out of control with hate messages etc. What will be different about Twitter with free rein? Only more hate and more ugliness from some anonymous guys on the web. Elon, have you lost it?

    How did you convince your significant other to order a Tesla?

    She did the test drive, and bought it for the sound system quality.

    Used Model S (2016-2017) or new Model 3?

    Mine, made in China 30 April 21. Quality is excellent everywhere, but range is appalling The Long Range we bought was good for 673 or 657? km. Tesla changed this to 580 the week after we bought it, also reduced the price by 10k. 100% charge shows 540 km on the screen, but in reality is 450 ish...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    But at 100 miles it is flat. So, maybe leaving a bit in the tank, perhaps it isn't really going anyplace.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Bolt EV offers an EPA-estimated 259 miles of range,† on a full charge, owners are advised to keep the car outside and avoid overnight charging. Also, users should only charge the car to 90 percent full and keep the battery above 70 miles of remaining range. That gives 137 miles. Lets say real...

    Auto-Pilot - I give up, it's downright lethal

    Sure I knew about it, have read about it, but when it happens in real life, it is a surprise. It is not good enough.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I have a new, MIC M3. Long Range. I bought it having 673 km of range. The next week this was changed to a different test cycle, so I have 580 km. Take off 20% from the top only charging to 80%, take off 20% at the bottom, we have 60% of 580 km = 348. OK, we can charge prior to a trip to 100% and...

    Auto-Pilot - I give up, it's downright lethal

    2021.4.18.2 also. RHD in Australia and brand new. Pretty scary for our first time driver of a Tesla. For myself I have been in the forums six years, but the AP braking is totally a surprise. And a killer. A Tesla Killer. Maybe an Easter Egg from some departing technowizz :)

    Getting "older" parts for 2018 - 2020 Model 3s in the future?

    This is why the VIN is used in Spare Parts shops: they can immediately identify the iteration of your car and its components.

    +How to cope with no tuition due to 3rd party delivery

    If it were not for the fact that I have been on the forums for 6 years, I/we would not be coping. Then again, we would not have been buying a Tesla.

    +How to cope with no tuition due to 3rd party delivery

    We are struggling with learning all the facets of operating our new M3, there being no local assistance as we are out of state (Tas) and do not know anyone else. The car was delivered by a third party carrier, who "knows nussink". What I tend to do is spend countless hours watching Youtubes...

    Ex Tesla Forums community: We were closed down by Tesla: Engage has nowhere to go.

    Since I started the thread, I guess I can comment :) Thank you all for coming out. Some names are the same, others changed. Like wallpaper. It would be nice to have identification of members from the Forum. When I joined this group I changed my name on our old forum from Ross to Ross1, to...
