The Edmunds long range test of their 2017 Model 3 LR RWD has an average lifetime consumption (measured at wall) of 30.7 kWh/100 miles or 307 Wh/mi as of September 2019. Their in-car lifetime average is 242.5 Wh/mi. That equates to a 27% real world premium, which presumably accounts for losses...

I took my LR to Tesla service for tire rotation at 6500 miles (manual says every 6,250) and they measured no difference in tread between front and back and therefore said it wasn’t needed. So you might first measure tread on yours before rotating.

I’ve had good luck fixing it temporarily with a reboot. I did it today at a stoplight (scroll wheels + brake) and the bass came back immediately. It will then disappear again in a day or two. Definitely a bug. I’m on 46.2 but had the problem on earlier versions as well.

I have not had any luck with scheduled pre-heat. It seems to wake my Model 3 up at the scheduled time (no longer shows sleeeping in Tesla iOS widget) but never turns the heat on. I have no problem with the manual climate toggle on switch in your app. Any thoughts?

It seems clear to me the subwoofer is sometimes working and sometimes not. After updating to 46.2 last night, the bass came back with a vengeance. In fact it was almost too much so I adjusted the equalizer after driving into work this morning. When I sat parked, I could feel the car bumping...

My “degradation” which was almost 6% a few weeks ago is now at 2.5%, confirming what many are suggesting here — that it’s the estimation algorithm and not actual battery degradation.

I've been on 42.2. Got 42.4 last week and it failed as it did for many others (my first failure since purchasing 6 months ago). Last night, I received 42.2.1. This morning it went to 42.4. And then immediately after, another update back to 42.2.1!

I have the same issue with it inflating on its own. How did you disable the bladder?

I appreciate it may not be battery balancing, just range recalibration. That said the charging to 90% each night this week seems to be working to recalibrate as rated range has increased 1 mile each night from 265 when I started to 269 tonight. I plan to keep at it and see if I can get back to 279.

Thanks. It’s RWD. Sure hope it isn’t a failing drive system. Haven’t had any other issues with drive system thus far. I read elsewhere it’s a high voltage system error and can result from a bad wiring harness. I’m still hoping it’s a fluke but will report back here on what I learn and if it recurs.

I did call before posting but when I selected service it said they were closed a Sunday. I didn’t ask for roadside assistance since I’m home now. But I did file a bug report from the car (albeit about 30 min after the fact) and I believe that sends some logs.

I just received this same error out of the blue “power reduced- exit and re-enter car- may restore operation Car was then sluggish and no regen. I parked at a friend’s house nearby and when I returned 15 minutes later the message was gone and car was fine. I filed a belated bug report and will...

My battery has been holding steady at 235 miles at 80% (about 5% degradation) this week. But I see from this other thread they are now suggesting charging to 90% for a month as best way to balance. Will try that next.

I spoke to support who checked remotely and confirmed all battery modules functioning normally. They suggested a deep cycle. I ran down to 25% then charged to 100% again. No improvement. Stil 291 at 100% or about 6% degradation on 5 month car with 5000 miles. Honestly, I’m fine with it as long...

Thanks for the report as I never heard back from Tesla. I will try cycling down to 20%. Previously, I didn’t go much below 60% before trying the 100% charge. Let us know if this works for you.
