In my 21 M3LR I would immediately get to 250kw (or150kw) if I rolled in at 10-15% AND had the car precondition the battery. By the time I got back to the car 10 minutes later it was already well above 50% and was throttling back to complete the required charge for the next SC destination.

I found the Energy screen to be the most useful on my cross country trip in September. I had Nav set to my 'final' destination so the SCs were all in the queue. The Energy 'Trip' screen was what I checked most to reassure that I was on nominal consumption rate to the next SC. Never cared about...

Citation please. Did they register and collect tax on the vehicle? I'll bet they did. Your comment is typical rhetoric and narrative. Give citation that California does not consider the car 'road legal'.

Why? Are there any instances of DMVs in states other than Crazy Cali flunking people taking driving tests in Teslas?

M3 and MY do not need calibration as the cameras are self calibrating according to Tesla. Safelight can't get the glass and/or Tesla wants to be paid up front for the parts. that's most likely the issue Safelight has with Tesla. I had my work done at Tesla sooner than Safelight could have got...

And I charge mine when it drops to 40% ish back to 80%. i use the Mobile connector in my garage 240VAC outlet. I also drove it Coast to Coast exclusively with Supercharger starting SOC in the 7-10% range up to 75% to 90%. That trip was around 900 miles per day and nothing but Supercharging...

Your USB Ports are here.

Yes it does read that way. If you are serious about expanding your business you would have already considered the charge infrastructure needed to support it. As someone else has already suggested, spent the money for a bank of Wall connectors and upgrade your electrical service to handle the...

Until you have to deal with their 'service' network and Kia corporate. My first and probably last experience with Kia was a service nightmare turned legal issue. I sold my Kia Stinger 3.3T and got an M3 AWD LR. Faster car and much less stress.

Why not have the cyclops light flash during regen like they do on F1 race cars? I've never actually studied the brake light icons on the car on the display to see how often they come on during driving. I always drive one pedal and only use the brakes if necessary.

i didn't go with Tesla, but where I live (las Vegas) 'pigeon guards' are standard and usu. included in the price. I made sure all the installer quotes I got included them.

"Unknown Key" is the default name for a key. Go into the key screen and rename it. The second key that does not work is defective. Tesla should replace it or buy a new key pack of 2 from Tesla for $35 US

you only need one active existing card. It takes less than 30 seconds. Go to the locks screen and follow the add a key instructions on the screen. BOOM! done

My GF had a 07 SL550 and a 73 450sl before that. Got my hands plenty dirty on both of them. Over engineered German POSs I used to call them but both were the epitome of luxury and sport in their time. Loved to drive both of them esp the 550. I had a Kia Stinger with the Lambda V6 twin turbo...
