My drain rate was in my garage- no sentry. With Sentry it's significantly more.

From my take on the investor report call, the main S/X sales drop was because they were retooling for the new motor they just announce this week- they weren't building as many new units.

I hope they start advertising as soon as they can't keep up with demand on a regular basis. Right now it doesn't make sense to spend any money advertising as long as they sell every car they can produce. If and when that happens, hopefully they'll start doing some advertising- should be pretty...

Lol the update notes are basically, Major, major features only and 'fixed a few other things'. I'd LOVE more detailed notes somewhere- even if it's not in the car, but I think they're extra paranoid about the haters dredging the notes for ammunition.

My drain is about 3 miles a day, so ~1 kwh = $.14. About $1/week

Like a lot of others, my lifetime supercharging has changed in my account to read pay per use. I've emailed Tesla many times with limited response. The good news is I just tested a supercharger and I think it's still free for me (immediately shows $7.40 charge fee, which is the last fee I...

The story I heard they just took money from his wallet and drove off- didn't take the car

BTW- I'm planning a solo road trip in a few weeks and am planning on catching short naps at superchargers to get me through the drive. Air mattress in the back

I read of a case of a person getting held up at gunpoint at a supercharger, but it seems to be very rare- maybe even more rare than general crime since most chargers are in high traffic areas and there are quite a few cameras around

Mine is also saying pay per use- grrr. Took me 3 months to get it fixed when I bought my car. I hope I don't have to go through that again.

How bad is it to not rotate? I thought that was the new suggestion on some cars. I'm at 13k miles and my tread wear is very even right now.

I'm no spring chicken myself, but after about a month of owning my car I can't imagine driving anything else. I'm hopeful that someday this same car will be able to shuttle me around when I'm no longer able to drive myself. I'm nearly certain that will not happen with current versions of the...

There is absolutely no possible way I would consider this until they get their customer service act figured out. Can you imagine trying to file a claim with their customer service department? Wait an hour only to be told you're denied by someone who doesn't have any idea what they're doing...

My 90 y/o father in law just passed a driving test. I promise you the CURRENT autonomy is VASTLY superior to him in every way right now. Having said that I am very skeptical we'll have FSD in 2020.

Wow! Shocked! I eat my words. nomnomnom

Nice to see this happens to other people. I swear my car has magnets all over it sucking other cars over the line

If you wait for Tesla for this it will never happen- you have to ask them.

I had the opposite experience with a Semi that crossed the line- the red alert siren went off. Luckily I had room to go into the median without incident.

And literally none of them came with this standard- most probably don't have them installed (I did get mine when I was in for glass replacement)

Standard. Using Chill while owning a performance will incur the wrath of the Tesla Gods. Seriously, though- if you're even considering chill mode you should just buy the base model 3. I use chill mode only during snowstorms.

Right in the middle?

Do you know where the radar is physically installed? I've had a couple of times when I've needed to clean snow off the front to allow cruise control to work- it would be nice to know which part I need to clean instead of completely cleaning off the entire front of the car when it's blasting...

Why only charge every other day? Plug it in every day- even if only 110v- if you can charge for 10 hours, you'll get an extra 50 miles. Also what ngogas said- I keep mine at 90% Performance model 3 is most fun car I've had ever by a factor of 10

I had a 3 small paint issues that the service center was able to buff out immediately for me. Since then I had to replace my rear window because the heating element cracked the glass inside. Other than that I haven't done anything, though my paint and front windshield are definitely taking a...

Once the car is 10-15 years old I might do that and buy the new $50k roadster mark 3 that will be out for sure by then which has 1000 miles of range and 0-60 time of 1.0 seconds, plus vertical take off.

Are you talking about the upgraded brakes? I don't need those- not tracking. So I could have done exactly what I did and not bother wasting my time trying to sell the wheels and have the performance I wanted and saved $5k.

I was down for several hours

It just kind of stuck from P3D+ so P3D- to differentiate I don't really like it either- I usually stay P3D Steath or P3D Aero

Thanks for the responses guys- the car has a great cell signal. I have it working again for now. Here's what I did: 1) Plugged in the car charger 2) Went into security settings and disabled mobile access (it asks for email and password) 3) Enabled mobile access Boom- everything started...

Also, bluetooth works fine. I can drive the car and I can open the trunk, etc from the app while in the car, but can't do it outside of bluetooth range.

Hi everyone, Having problems connecting the app to my phone. It spins for a while then shows vehicle connection error. This happens on both my phone and my wife's so it appears to be a car issue. I tried: Rebooting the car Rebooting the car with brake Powering off the car and restarting...

What are those discs? Very cool

Or, track mode tire destruction? :)

Mountain climbing at 160mph?

I agree about the phantom braking, but it's pretty rare for me to encounter it (except on one really irritating stretch of road where it happens consistently). Once you really get used to it, you'll be addicted.

Madison, Wisconsin 3-4 per day

I assume the OP means lifetime wh/mile. I'm at 305, with P3D Stealth. However, I'm watching my Wh/mile quickly drop as the temperatures rise.

The rocket's 0-60 time was a sluggish 8 seconds. My car is more than twice as fast to 60 :)

Didn't want the low profile tires. Did want the 0-60 rocket. Very happy I ordered when I did because you can't get the version I really wanted any more.

Guess the cheapo- seats were more than they wanted to deal with :)

A Better Routeplanner

I suspect that's just a safety rating or something. Usually solid-state electronics don't mind colder temps. I probably won't find out now until next winter.

Hurrah someone with actual metrics! Thanks! 5% should be around .17 difference, but I'll take this for sure.

This is stronger data indicating there is an improvement. If only Tesla would provide more detailed release notes so we could be sure.

What part of the post was insulting? He did add a smiley at the end- was not accusing you of anything. I noticed regen much stronger yesterday as well, but I haven't been upgraded yet. I do see you mention temperature was less with more regen, but it depends on battery temp, not ambient...

Sunrise, sunset on concrete. The cameras just can't see the lines and they go crazy. Would be a shame if the cars need to not drive certain directions at certain times of the day.

Just had the glass replaced by Tesla Highland Park in Chicago. Process was smooth and professional, no issues. A pleasant change. Also had the Performance badge installed. Unfortunately someone else at the same place had driven almost 3 hours for their 'scheduled maintenance' and was...

There doesn't seem to be much pattern in the way Tesla changes their pricing. If you find a car at a price you can accept, I'd go for it. There's a general downward direction, but it has also gone up a bit from time to time. I suspect battery tech is going to get a lot cheaper in the next...

I wouldn't get your hopes up for that. AFAIK everyone pays the same price for the new cars (well unless you count the constant price changes by Tesla!)

whew- you could repaint a good chunk of the front end for that price
