Thanks. That must be from a recent software update.

I have a GPS question of my own. After a year of happy ownership, by GPS yesterday started marking certain streets with red lines. Is this some sort of traffic warning?

It was great while it lasted, but the software update last week finally robbed me of the "Plus" feature I had enjoyed for free for four months (and almost 6,000 miles). Instead of 240 miles, my maximum charging range now reads at 211. The "Plus" is gone from the screen.

I have been an EV driver for 10 years and was a hyper-miler with the early Leaf, holding the record for several months for the most miles on a single charge (in regular driving conditions). As do ICE cars, EVs in neutral coast farther than they do in drive with the accelerator not depressed...

I have only had the Model 3 for 4 months, but already had 4 road trips totaling 3,000 miles and generally enjoy the supercharging breaks to explore the local businesses and get a snack. One exception was coming back to Miami from Key West a couple of weeks ago, and charging at the only...

Okay, my car finally started. Message on screen was "Software Update unsuccessful--wait for another update to be scheduled."

I agreed to schedule some software update for this morning at 2a.m. At about that time someone saw my headlights flashing. This morning I cannot start the car with ether the phone key or the key card. The key card unlocked the door but does not have any effect on the starting. My phone says the...

How do you shift into neutral at speed to coast when regen will slow you too fast?

I love my blue one. Worth the extra $1,000.

I had 4 Leafs over the last 10 years (still have 1), and was the national leader in distance obtained on a single charge for awhile. I agree that the Model 3 range indicator is much more accurate. I have driven my Model 3 down to 1 mile left on range and it was a very precise countown that...

I never before saw a 380i either, so I took a triple-take at the model badge to makre sure. Now if I google "BMW 380i" I see a lot of what are supposed to be pictures of that model and several ads for sales of used 380i's. I cannot find a reference to it on BMW's website, and most of the ads...

Huh? You think I am making this up?

Today I pulled up at a light next to a sleak Beemer 380i. The prosperous young Black gentleman driving had his right passenger window down, so I lowered mine and asked: "Is that a very fast car?" When he said yes, I smiled and said "so show me." When the light turned green I burst so far...

I usually charge up to 80% when I am driving around town, and that lasts me several days. I go to 100% on road trips, using superchargers. I have had 3 such trips in the first 3 months with the car: 1) from Miami to Amelia Island with side trips to South Georgia; 2) Miami round trip to...
