My son lives in Minot (stationed at Minot AFB), I'll ask him to check it out. Keith

Interesting you say this......yesterday driving home from work, I got a low tire pressure warning. With the weather change, my tire pressures had dropped to 40 psi, which triggered an alert. I checked the pressures manually when I got home, and they were right at 40, which is lower than I...

Just updated to 36.6 last night. I noticed the car took way longer than normal to reboot. Now, all of my profiles are gone, my settings are all back to default, my trip odometers (including one that had been tracking since the car was new, and one that I reset every Monday) are zeroed out, the...

DELETE - posted in wrong forum, meant to post in Model 3 forum. DOH!

I did not take a picture....should have done that. And maybe I did read the screen wrong, I am on the other side of needing reading glasses, so maybe I got the numbers wrong. But, still a bit surprised (again, not disappointed) that I had to stop for a short recharge on a 226 mile round trip...

Appreciate the analysis, this is really good. The 380 was when we were about to go through the gate at Edwards, and I noticed we were at about 47%. Going home, the downhill really made a difference, we actually got under 200 whr/mi (186 if I remember correctly). Whatever the case, made it fine...

I knew I was going to take a range hit, but I really did expect to make a 226 mile round trip without charging. I expected to get home with about 10% charge remaining....not have to recharge 50 miles short of home. So that's the surprising part. Yep, was going 75 on I-15, a bit slower on Hwy...

Yesterday we went from our home in the San Gabriel Valley (Los Angeles) to Edwards Air Force Base to attend the open house / air show. According to Google, it was 113 miles one way. So, figured my 2018 Long Range RWD would make it there and back without much trouble. So, the morning before, I...

And then, consumers scream "why isn't <<Company XYZ>> willing to keep supporting my old product? It's all a conspiracy to get me to buy a new one!!!" Substitute Google Pixel phones in here.......Apple is guilty of this as well. Can't win either way. Keith

Piling on the attitude that total range is kind of irrelevant.....but only if you have a place at home to charge your EV, or there is a recharging station convenient to where you go. I came from a BMW 550 MSport, first to a Focus EV with only 75 miles of range, and now to a non-P Model 3. I can...

I just did a Carvana evaluation on my 2018 LR RWD with 30K miles. They only offered me $33,500 for it. That is with NO accidents or diminished value. I'm not sure the trade in values are as high as they used to be.

$308 out the door isn't bad. Tire Rack has them listed for $278 before mounting and balancing. But, they don't have them in stock, so really doesn't matter.

So I've been reading all of these threads about people trading in their current Model 3 and getting new ones, and getting amazingly high offers for their current vehicles. I thought, why not, if I can get a new Model 3 LR AWD for just a few grand over what I could get for my current car, let's...

I leave my car at the airport, unplugged, with Sentry mode turned off, cabin overheat on (no A/C), all the time, usually for 5 days or so. Typical battery loss is almost unnoticed, usually less than 1%. One time the car sat for three weeks, but that time, it was inside a garage. I lost less than...

Another "one and done".
