Separate names with a comma.
I find that autosteer (AP) works very very well as long as all these conditions are satisfied: 1. You are on a freeway.(because there are no...
I had the Pilot Sport A/S on my BMW 328i (since replaced by my Model 3) and really liked them. But most folks on this forum report a 10% range hit.
I never recommend a Tesla to people who don't have home charging. Many people think that they can charge their car once/week at a supercharger...
I agree that you should use TeslaFI, which will tell you exactly where all your 'range' is going. If you have the correct settings, TeslaFI will...
I recently left my M3 LR AWD in our unheated garage (in Seattle) for 28 days. I lost only 20 miles of range! This surprised me because I expected...
I keep my battery meter in miles. In summer I multiply it by 0.8 to get usable range. In winter I multiply it by 0.7. Of course you can also...
I have to say I am a big TeslaFi fan. It helps me understand my car's energy use, and make better decisions concerning travel, charging, and...
You should lose less than 10 miles overnight, probably closer to 5. However, starting with a cold battery will give you a pretty high wH/m when...
For anyone obsessing about electricity and energy use (as I do), I highly recommend that you sign up for TeslaFi. It will give you detailed usage...
The SR+ may be a better value than the LR AWD, but in Seattle you will never regret spending that extra $ for the bigger battery. Why? 1. In...
I usually figure 70% efficiency at this time of year. 70% of 150 = 105, so you are right on the mark. (You will learn over time that the energy...
70% is pretty typical at this time of year. Also your car will probably greet you every morning with 5 or 10 miles less range than the night...
Welcome to autopilot! It works great all the time - except when it doesn't. It works poorly at all on-ramps (predictable), when the sun is shining...
Mud flaps WILL make a big difference! I recommend that you do that first. Don't overthink them, for heaven sakes. I recommend the $40 BASENOR...
Over the 6 months that I've had my M3 the display has gotten much better (if you can believe that) but you are correct - there is still a lag...
Are there any settings other than 'Follow distance'? (which I normally set to 6).
I hope you are not planning to drive that 300 miles on one charge - because you won't make it.
Based on my experience this month, a conservative estimate this time of year is 70% of rated range, so about 200 miles for your LR AWD. But -...
I personally would not recommend using % on the battery meter, because we all drive miles (or KM), not percentages. So I would recommend getting...
I have this happen to me all the time when it is raining! Why? Because I also own a Subaru, and in the Subaru a downward flick of the right-hand...
I agree completely. Full self driving has a long long way to go. I also agree that: 1. The auto-pilot tends to give up on tight turns at speed...
It's normal to use 1% - 2% overnight in summer. in cold weather other things can kick in, like battery warming. When you backed the car out in...
Short Answer 1: YES - this is what you should be expecting (94/124 = 72% 'efficiency', which is quite reasonable at this time of year). Short...
Bottom line: The battery gauge always gives the EPA estimated range (think of it as a maximum possible range). In summer, plan on achieving 80%...
I had the same reaction when I tried to order the 6-50 plug and it was out of stock. But I put my name on the notification list and it showed up...
I have 40.2.1 and just drove through my first typical Seattle rainstorm at night (on this release). I'm sorry to report that the 'auto' setting...
Here is my simple rational for the statement that supercharging approaches the cost of gas at this time of year. Summary: Our Subaru costs 12...
To all folks contemplating using a supercharger for all their charging: remember that Tesla sets that supercharger rate, and it is usually about...
1. I second the recommendation to sign up for TeslaFi, and have it monitor your usage. After a week or so TeslaFi will tell you exactly where...
I second a couple of the previous posts. Living in WA we often drive into the mountains. To be conservative, figure on about 8 rated miles (on...
By now you've probably realized that this behavior is not a defect particular to your car - it is a 'feature' of autopilot, and one of the reasons...
That sales tax exemption is nice, but you will always regret not having that extra range if you downgrade to an LR+. If you actually always got...
1. Car tab cost is the same on any car, so EVs are not being singled out. 2. The $150 road-tax 'makeup' is not unreasonable. If I have an ICE car...
I'm curious where you get the 209 wh/m. My little Tesla battery meter on the display ticks down at a pretty reliable 1 'rated mile' for every...
I use a 6-20 as my primary at-home charger (formerly used the outlet for a radial-arm saw). At 239v I get 14-15 mph, which I find more than...
I think it's a fair general statement that if you charge at home, your are getting close to that 100 mpg equivalent cost, but if you charge at a...
I love hold mode, but I agree with other posters that in 'winter', hold mode (i.e. the amount of breaking from regen) is unpredictable.
If you rotate your own tires, do you use 2 jacks? If you just use one jack, what is your process?
At this time of year in Seattle, we average 300 wh/m. Temperatures are in the 40s. So depending on where you live, this would be normal. Check...
A note on 'proposed' Superchargers. We have had a 'proposed' supercharger for Chelan, WA for years. It always says "coming soon". As other have...
My experience with maps (both Satellite view and road-only view) is that they only download over cellular in real-time. If I drive to an area...
I had similar frustrating problems getting a strong enough WiFi signal to my garage. My router alone was not strong enough to reach into the...
I have to agree with the OP: the controls on the stalk violate a simple design rule: the same motion on the same control should never have two...
See this very long thread on road noise abatement strategies. Sound Deadening Model 3
I usually figure 80% of the EPA range in normal driving. Less if running the heater. Less if doing a lot of short trips. More if doing a long...
I think that the 'dancing cars' are indicative of the poor ability of the software to recognize and understand the traffic surrounding the car....
I had the Pilot Sport A/S on my BMW 328 for 10 years, and I really liked them. But I ran them at the BMW recommended pressure of 34 psi. Tesla,...
The best cure for jerkiness in TACC is to set your follow distance to 5 or 6 cars. This seems to make the autopilot less nervous since it has...
Fortunately, if I truly want map coverage that works anywhere, I just have to drive my Outback, instead of the Tesla. (And I get the added...
I also thought that the basic road-only view (without the satellite view) would work outside of cell-phone service range - but it doesn't. My...
