You're at a SHARED charging station, and it's "critical" that you run battery tests at this charger that is supposed to be SHARED by everyone? How SELFISH of YOU! It's supposed to be a shared resource, treat it as such. RANT OFF.

Is there anyone here that has ever been able to replicate the Tesla quoted range for their Tesla or even gotten close to it? IE - replicating the government test criteria, drive at about 50 MPH on mostly flat roads with no climate control with properly inflated tires, and actually be able to...

So if you can't get an estimate of how many miles remain, how can you determine when to get to your next charger if it is 150 miles away?

Range is an issue because it is EASY to fill up a gas car on a road trip. Who cares that I have 200 miles of range instead of 250 in an ICE? I'll just stop at Chevron. But with an EV, that difference may make the difference between getting to where you want to go much slower (due to additional...

What is with Telsla’s half baked audio solutions? This time Apple Music won’t play music 70 percent of the time I get in the car with the screen showing “choose media source” until I reboot the entire Tesla. Spotify is also half baked, FM radio crashes at least 10 percent of the time so you...

My 2020 LR AWD model 3 has 81K miles on it. Purchased December 2019. I've heard from some that the 12 volt starts dying about 3 1/2 years into ownership. Question: Didn't Tesla change the type or model of battery they used sometime around the time I purchased in the hopes that it would...

Interestingly, I am also losing about 10 to 15 miles of range overnight per the energy "parked" screen. I have sentry off at work and home and still see the issue. I'm beginning to agree this is a software issue as I never saw this previously. It's annoying, because I purchased this vehicle...

Great advice!!!!!!!

LOL the cabin filters were SO much easier on the BMW, though. Just lower the glove box and pull out the old filter and replace. I was VERY comfortable doing that. I'm not comfortable removing trim pieces and such to replace the filters in the Tesla, however.

On the BMW, I was simply listing the maintenance and repairs I did for the first 80K miles to make it "equal" to the repairs and maintenance done during the first 80k of Tesla ownership. In terms of repairs on the BMW *after* 80k, yes - I replaced the tires again at 114K miles. I also did...

I had to do the alignment because my front tires were wearing quicker on the inside than outside. Tesla confirmed an alignment issue.

Just out of curiosity, I asked for some quotes to sell my 2020 LR AWD with 80K miles on it. Just last month, Carmax offered $26.5K. Today, Carvana offered $19K. Driveway laughingly offered $6k. Carmax would not appraise it at this time "due to volatility in the Tesla market." Vroom also will...

I have a 2020 Model 3 Long Range AWD with the 18" aero wheels that I purchased in Dec 2019 which is going to hit 80K miles in the next few days. Any advice on any pro-active service I should do? I'm still on my original 12 volt battery but Tesla recently told me it is still "healthy". In...

My experience so far with my 2020 model 3 -- I had subscribed to Match months before getting Apple Music. Match does not expire until end of February. When I go to my "library", all the music is there when sorted by album or song. NO artists are listed in "artist" view. Even though they...

Can anyone with the holiday update replicate? If I go to Apple Music and then to my library and try to sort by artist the list is blank but shows three page numbers. Album view seems to work fine. Any ideas? A reboot didn’t fix it.
