I ordered a model 3 SR+ which originally would have been delivered in time for my daughter's 16th birthday (end of October). Yesterday I got an email stating that due to battery issues the delivery has been postponed now to end of December or January (which is still not guaranteed). I was...

I didn't try it but on reading other people discuss this "milling/grinding noise", they said it was more reproducible when setting the air suspension (if you have it) on high or very high. It accentuates the problem. And if your car "shudders" when hard accelerating even without the noise, I...

Amazingly the odometer on this was around 37k (and given my 2 yr 90d just hit 50k it was not driven a lot). Surprisingly when I commented to the tech manager who gave me the loaner saying wow, you have a signature as a loaner, she replied, yes and we have a signature green one as a loaner as...

Just finished posting another thread about the issues I was having with my car (solved by replacing the left and right half shaft) so if interested in that please go to that one When I did turn in my car I was really pleasantly surprised that the loaner I received was a Signature Red Model S...

For the longest time I thought the way my 90D accelerated was normal (on heavy acceleration the car would shudder a little bit) and that the noise in the interior cabin was expected (a turbine type whine). However right before my 50,000 mile mark (where I would lose my warranty) I began to...

Thank you for the very informative post. I think I was looking at it all wrong when I first started the thread. I thought that the way the motors were designed they always had high resistance present which one had to overcome by pressing the go pedal and once we let go of the go pedal it would...

Unfortunately the roads I traveled weren't too challenging for either system. I do think on local roads in current state AP1 I felt handled better, in some cases AP2 wouldn't allow me to go over the typical 5 mph speed limit on local roads that AP1 usually allows me to do. Also hard to...

I agree, during braking it definitely puts energy back into the battery, my question is mainly does it use more energy when no braking but just cruising along highway on long road trip (i.e. are you using more electricity constantly to overcome the regenerative effect of the motor when you do...

First off, I am a big fan of regenerative braking, absolutely loving "one pedal driving." I was wondering however if during periods of non-braking, does it actually create more electricity requirement? If I let go of the accelerator in an ICE vehicle, there only rolling resistance of the tire...

Recently had my car in for the 37,500 mile service and got a brand new (24 miles on odometer) 75D Loaner with AP2 hardware. First thing I noticed was that for about the first 100 miles it would not allow me to use both the autopilot as well as cruise control with the message that it was...

I just saw a couple of days ago that there will be a tesla supercharger site planned for Manchester TN. It's pretty much half way between Nashville and Chattanooga. Even though I live in Manchester I kind of wish it was in Murfreesboro since I would make use of it more. It will be nice to see...

I definitely think skin type has an effect for sure (oily I would suspect be the worst), but since I was pretty much the only user both before and after the swap I served as my own control. The only thing might be temperature I guess since it is clearly winter now (but I still can't remember...

As I mentioned on a prior post I had the 25k service and at that time the service center ended up taking out my old touchscreen and giving me a new one (had a minor problem where I would have occasional frozen screen with "contact tesla service") On my prior screen I had a protective film...

Wow. I am not sure if it is different driving styles causing that kind of wear. I rotated my tires at 6k initially, then 25k. My tire depth reported on this service is 5's across (outer, inner, center) on both front tires and 6s on both rears. I personally thought a heavy car such as a...
