My wife has to take the car to work in the early hours of the morning and to get to the car she has to go through a dark parking lot. We have pin to drive enabled. When she gets in the car, she wants to immediately lock the doors, but pressing the lock button on the touchscreen doesn't work...

Is braking in an EV a thing? I get the tires part, but is there another aspect that needs to be broken into? Yes it's my first EV. I use standard regen and chill mode. I haven't kept the fan on auto though, so I'll try that. It's probably been asked before, but since heat consumes a lot of...

Thanks everyone, a lot of good replies on here and the other thread. I'll try a few more experiments.. I think if there was a list created that was ranked in order of what features or method of driving causes the most loss in efficiency to the least, that would be helpful to a lot of people...

Model: Model3 LR AWD Mileage: 1000 Wheels: 19" Sport Average Wh/mile: 360 I've been driving my M3 for about a month. I know the 19" sport wheels have a 5-10% efficiency hit (crazy amount by the way) compared to the aero wheels, but I'm still getting a crazy high Wh/mile for standard drives. I'm...

Did your MVPA paperwork show up under the doucments section in your Tesla account? Did the payment method step also update with the correct numbers? Do you remember how long after getting the VIN you received the MVPA? Also, has anyone had any luck getting a quote through Tesla Insurance? My...

Yes from what I've gathered from speaking to various Tesla reps, you can't go forward with the loan/buying process until you get the mvpa. My loan amount on my account isn't even accurate since it includes the upgrades I got for free this past weeked (color + wheels), so I can't get an accurate...
