When were these shades manufactured? For which year 3 are they made?

Thank you, jmaddr. Your two responses have been helpful and reassuring. My hope was always that there would be someone like you to respond. I was beginning to get discouraged that the inhabitants of the forum represented most Tesla owners and that maybe I should be worried that Tesla owners...

Nicho, Thank you for your response. I'm in the mid-south so winter driving would not be my concern. I also don't care about the charging impact of regen. I would plan to drive between 20% and 80% as recommended. And again, I'm sure I will get used to whatever Tesla dishes out to me. It's...

Ha ha. It's becoming apparent to me that this forum is of limited use, being really only a place where folks can be snarky instead of helpful.

/ Mark, Thank you for your response. Yes vehicles are different, and I understand that. But your response doesn't really address the problem. You only assert that it's not a problem for you. Fine. I understand that. But Tesla could have left the low feature in so that Luddites like me...

Boy, you are one nasty guy.

Not so interested in getting in a pissing match with you about whether I'm a troll. You are still focusing on how the Tesla drives, not what happens when you change to the SUV after routinely driving the Tesla . I guess it's hard for me to understand why I shouldn't be able to control how I...

Sales told me they removed it a "month or so ago". Makes no sense to me. Suppose I always want to use it to even out the transition back and forth to the way an ICE vehicle works. At the same time I find out that there's no "low", I also find out that regenerative braking doesn't get you...

Your response addresses only when you are driving the Tesla, not what happens when you drive the SUV after routinely driving the Tesla. Apologize for the two threads. new to this and not aware that posts went across the forum.

Not so simple. You don't have the option of using the brakes alone in the Tesla, unless you're saying you can turn off regenerative braking altogether. If you routinely drive the Tesla rather than the ICE SUV, you get used to braking by simply releasing the "gas" pedal. When you have to drive...

Why did Tesla eliminate the low setting for regenerative braking in the new models? Standard regen braking in the 2021 Models 3 is very aggressive. I understand you have to get used to it and you'll like it and all that. NOT the point! If, like most families, there are two cars, one of which...

Based on the safety problem alone, this would be a deal breaker for me. And I was about to plunk down my money. Isn't this just a software fix? Why not leave the low setting on the system? You don't have to use it.
