I'd love to see some pics of this in the Model 3, if you do get a chance.

Exactly!

I’m not very good at “pretty”; I’m sure these could be done nicer, but it’s close enough for me (c:

I went and did this, then went for a drive. Loads better! Need to figure out some minor tweaks for comfort where the thing ends, but I was driving around thinking "This is the best feeling of driving in over a decade"

My complaint about the seats is the side boosters. They press into my right thigh, aggravating an existing condition, and it hurts - especially over long drives. I'm pretty skinny/small, 30" waist, and fit pretty much right between them on the seat I was using a Purple Portable Seat Cushion...

After i posted that i noticed there was work being done on the building. Probably related. There’s more equipment in metal crates atop where I’d expect them to install superchargers tho. Wait and see!

Could this be supercharger stuff? I’m at another WC Wawa, down the pike - 1501 West Chester Pike, across from the Tesla store

I don't pretend to be an expert, I'm just relaying the advice given to me by someone with more experience than I have. As with any advice, it will vary from person to person. And since my need was pretty urgent and just 2 days before a major holiday, I didn't exactly have the opportunity to...

There's definitely an added expense setting them up, as you at least need a drain system for the condensation created by the heat pump, which would for many folks require a condensate pump. For someone like watts_up moving from gas, there may be an additional expense running 240V electric.

Honestly I think you're overthinking this. You shouldn't wait on the battery to precondition before driving, if it's gonna make you late for work. It's okay to drive it cold, just don't floor it on every road (c: I'd do this: Set your charge schedule as late as possible, while still ensuring...

I have electric water heater, and my old one started leaking a couple weeks ago and had to be replaced. I asked the plumber about the heat pump models, and he said they weren't worth it - they might save some money but there's added expense setting them up, and still not great on reliability...

Yup just drove past again and saw the telltale big shrink-wrapped supercharger box

There's a Wawa just off 202 on West Chester Pike that I think is the target... and when I drove past it the other day, a section of the parking lot was fenced off with a couple supplies parked there (nothing obviously Supercharger at the time)...

I'm too lazy to charge the car all the way up and see what the thing says, but TeslaMate has a Projected Range value though I'm not certain it comes directly from the car. It's had me in the 280-290 range since early November, before that it was upper 290s. I think the drop is weather related...

For what it's worth, I'm small (5'8, 130lbs) and the seat rubs against my thigh aggravating an existing condition. I've been sitting on a seat cushion to boost me a little up past it, but it's a little too squishy and doesn't give me a good solid "planted in the seat" feel. Might try one of...
