I put Acceleration Boost on my car before I ever put it in drive... Having said that, I put it in chill mode once and quickly put back to sport due to how gutless it is in chill mode. Tesla's throttle mapping is great when you're not in lame (chill) mode. It's stupid easy to accelerate gently...

Dawn dish soap for initial wash, then follow up with claybar using water and car wash soap as lube.

Defrost puts it into max heat mode; max heat mode will deplete the battery quickly as it sets the temp to "high" and runs the front motor to generate heat. If the windows aren't iced over, just using "climate on" with a set temp will warm the cabin without using as much power. Also, cold temps...

I was nearly down to cords by 28k miles on my '21 AWD... Your alignment is out of whack though. Get new tires and an alignment.

Nobody has time to read the friendly manual...

22,000 miles is high-mileage? LOL My '21 has just shy of 70,000 and I wouldn't call it high mileage. I've had a few loaners from Tesla for various reasons, and can't say I paid any attention whatsoever to the mileage on them. I have had a P85D with ludicrous, a M3P, and a M3 LR AWD as loaners...

Good catch, I totally spaced the red led bit...

It's likely done charging and the draw you see is to run the HVAC to maintain the precondition temp of the cabin. My car routinely completes charging 30-45 minutes before the scheduled departure, and then sits and starts drawing current to precondition the cabin. I see anywhere from 5-12A of...

2024.2.3 fixed it for me. 2024.2.2 broke wake from sleep on my car.

Uh, superchargers work fine at -20f temps. You can't recreate an issue is almost certainly due to an issue with the supecharger, and not your car. If there were communication issues at these temps, pretty much everyone north of the mason-dixon would be raising hell about inability to charge in...

I activated AB before I even put my car in gear. AB was a complete no-brainer for me. Factory warranted power upgrade for a measly 2 grand? Hell yes!

Lot of very sheltered individuals here... Yes, good washer fluid has a high concentration of methanol (usually) to avoid freezing. No, it won't hurt your car. :rolleyes:

Yeah, no. I use >30% one way to work in the winter. Sometimes, it's ~40-45% one way when it's cold and windy. I was charging to 100% and arriving home at 5-8% for a week straight so far this winter when it was both cold and windy. Even in the summer, charging to 60% would have me in single...

Nice, aside from the whole CCS bit...

My 2021 AWD model 3 is much more stable on poor roads than my 4x4 truck. I only drive the truck when the ground clearance of the model 3 is problematic or I need to do "truck stuff" like haul my trailer. The car is never sluggish when it is cold. The electronic nannies can be a bit...
