Thank you, I will take your advice. I still wish Tesla made it clear what types of service falls under warranty.

I have been driving my Model 3 without any issue for 14 months (17 k miles) now. The only work I did was to rotate tires at Costco. I now see that from the Tesla app, I can make service appointments. To give it a try, I used the app to make an appointment for windshield wiper fluid (which seems...

I was wondering if anyone figured out if the efficiency (Wh/mile) of model 3 depends on the charge level of the battery (everything else being equal)? I am asking because I track my mileage every month. So far this month I am getting 214 Wh/mile (after driving about 1200 miles). I generally...

Thanks! Even though the body shop I like is confident they can fix the bumper, I am going with a tesla approved place (the tesla service center in san diego has their first appointment on Dec 12).

Life can be stranger than fiction - we always heard this, but it does not happen to us personally. Or so I thought until a couple of days ago. I was driving to the local YMCA (where I swim everyday) on my way to school. As I took the off-ramp from the freeway, I had to take manual control of...

Same here. It is happening after version 9 update I may add. i drive the same route every day (56E) in the morning. Most of the time, it happens when it sees a car on the turn line (far behind but, perhaps, accelerating). But when M3 takes corrective action and swerves back (I know it is safe...

ditto! And when you press the brake gently to bring the car to a halt at a stop light, the hold (H) comes in without any warning message (press the brake hard and the car tells you to brake gently in a more politically correct way, I think). I drove my camry stick-shift (you can't find a ice...

For the first week, I drove the same route without AP and completely manually without any such incidence. But now that I know what I am looking for, I will surely try to see if I can replicate this without AP or adaptive cruise.

I have a standard commute that involves 40 miles of freeway driving in San Diego everyday. Needless to say what a out-of-the-world experience it is to drive almost hands-free (my only fear is if other drivers freak out and crash into me seeing me enjoy my drive so much). Because I drive on the...

I have driven my m3 for about 2000 miles so far (and loving every mile of it) with a cumulative energy efficiency of 230 Wh/mile. If the same car had a gasoline engine with a typical 35% thermal efficiency, 230 Wh/mile would translate to 50.7 mpg. That shows how impressive is Tesla's design as...

Thank you! (wish there was a simpler way to say thanks without crowding out the excellent posts in this forum).

Thank you! (wish there was a simpler way to say thanks without crowding out the excellent posts in this forum).

Thanks! I should have thought of coiling the cable loosely. In my app (Versin: 2018.24.8 25f83c2) I don't see the schedule charging checkbox.

I learned so much from this forum that I feel I must share my experience of installing NEMA 14-50 in my garage just in case it helps anyone. My model 3 was delivered on July 19, 2018. On July 17 I went to Home depot where the electrical aisle guy was very helpful. All the parts I bought (see...
