I know I'm replying to a 2 year old reply but this comment makes sense becasue of a video I just watched about when the M3 goes to sleep. The guy does a time lapse on his 2021 Model 3 and shows the battery disconnecting after 10 minutes. 4:35 is where he talks about that but the whole video is...

I'm sure I'm gonna smack my forehead when you tell tell me what SOC means but, what does SOC mean?😁

So we live near the Smoky Mountains which is the perfect place to take the Tesla for the day. There is a motor trail (Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail) behind the tourist trap city of Gatlinburg, TN. It's a 5.5 mile one way loop that winds drivers through the forest and I'd say has an elevation...

This guy has it way worse than what I posted above but it looks like the round patterns are from the factory paint crew using sanders to grind down imperfections and then just couldn't blend those areas in for the final pass. I know they're making these cars at a blinding pace but this is...

So we took delivery of our car on Sunday and when we got home, I noticed three areas on the driver's side rear passenger door that had some missing metallic flake in the paint and the areas look darker than than the rest of the door. We were gonna leave it alone until I just found another body...

So we took delivery of our car on Sunday and everything looked good. The driver's side rear taillight had some moisture in it (gotta zoom in to see it) which the SA said would dry up. We drove around all day in 80 degree heat and it all but dried up. This morning, it was all gone. We did book...

Just went to go check on our car in preparation for Sunday possession and it has the reflector-style headlights. No big deal for me as I really like reflectors over projectors but, the Matrix pattern is pretty cool looking. For reference with others keeping track of VIN sets with either...

This is a bogus experiment as they forgot to include the 2014 Dodge Durango. A quarter moon on a cloudy night gives off more light than that damn Durango. I installed GTR Ultra 2.0 LEDs and ho le chit those suckers were bright. It was like having Tesla beams.

My son (VIN 201xx) gets brights flicked at him all of the time thinking his are on so again, if the word Tesla being projected during the lightshow is only a feature with Matrix lights, then those are blinding other drivers as well.

We pick our 246xx on the 15th. I'll report back if it has Matrix or not. DRLs not being serviceable and not being a fan of projector-type headlights, I'd rather have the previous type but, I will be happy with whatever version we get. Also if it helps, my son's vin of 201xx (delivered 3/25) has...

Finally! Delivery for May 15th at noon. More proof push backs don't mean anything.

$74,990 CA is $58,203 converted to US dollars on the Model 3. Article doesn't mention if that's base price with free paint choices and the 18 Aeros. In the US, the base LR is still sitting at $55,990. 😮

Just so you know, we wired $31,000 for the first VIN that was coming and after we (the wife) denied the car, it took a couple of weeks for the money to credit back to our checking account. Then when we got the 2nd VIN on 4/28, we just sent it in again. So it's not a big deal if sheet goes south...

But it only sends a notification is something changes in the section I marked? I have it set up for every 30 secs as a test and see it checking the page but no notification so I'm guessing I'm answering my own question. Thanks for the tip on resetting the session everyday.

Okay now that may be the coolest extention I have ever seen. I just set it up so, will it only notify if the chosen section has changed and all other page checks without changes will pass without notification?
