    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm really not liking your story. So you are getting a "new" car with bodywork already done to it? Saying that not knowing exactly how they fixed the dent. So sorry!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think this is not entirely correct (or somewhat deceiving). The updates are not directly tied to a 2022 refresh. It may happen sometime in 2022. But as we know the 2022 cars have been rolling out since November and don't have these updates. Outside of the P model the most exciting (for me) in...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    With my EDD currently at late Jan - mid Feb I am starting to wonder when/if the AMD Ryzen infotainment upgrade would hit the US and if I should hold out for that.......any thoughts?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Where in Va? I'm in NoVa with exact same options and OD of 10/24. A few days ago I got pushed out to 1/20 - 2/17. Although I'm ok to wait until '22 I'm starting to wonder

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I am trying to find more information on this. Like is it fully passed or is it just voted on by the House? It seems something like this was previously approved but never funded. The difference is that this time it is funded with earmarked money. Also, it's a rebate, not a credit. So the dealer...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Yup, I cannot argue anything you say here. So it seems my best hope is that the battery self-calibrate to something better. I've done some reading on the web over the past days and the anecdotal evidence on how to recover lost range is all over the place.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    Tesla shifted the range around so many times on the SR + that I don't know what to expect from a "like new" pack (240, 250, 260 miles). But when I bought the car it had 240 mile range. And this replacement pack have 210 mile range. I would call that significant. I don't have a specific range...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    I would say I was hoping for new range. I only had about 2% loss on the battery that got replaced and I'm not convinced the battery had to be replaced. But that's a different story. And I realize, push comest to shove, under the warranty I have no basis to demand anything if the battery is above...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    My SR+ 2019 just had the High Voltage Battery replaced under warranty. But the reconditioned battery is giving me about a 210 mile range at 100%. From the last few days of driving I believe this estimate is accurate based on normal (not high speed etc.) driving in normal conditions. I...

    Fairfax county tax assessment

    I emailed. And they responded the next morning. Sorry to hear about your struggles. I wonder why.

    VA Highway Use Fee

    Thank you for the math. I was wondering what it would equate to. So for the average SUV at 20mpg it would be about 8500 miles and for an efficient sedan as much as 14500 miles. Seems to me we are paying a bit too much. Especially as I only average 6500 annually (before covid). But maybe I'm...

    Fairfax county tax assessment

    A quick follow up; I reached out to the county and they responded within a day. They admitted that they had the model wrong and reduced the value of the car by about $6k. The tax ends up still over $1000 for the year though. Between this tax, the new tax that kicked in in July for electric...

    Fairfax county tax assessment

    Any model 3 owners living in Fairfax, Va? I have s SR+ 2019 model that I bought in March 2019 right when the SR+ was released. And last year my tax assessment was based on the sales price. This year my assessed value is $625 higher than last year! Obviously I will appeal the assessment. I...
