2020 M3P with 17K miles. This is another cold weather data point. I left my office this afternoon with 84% SoC, have driven 40.3 miles, and am...
I mostly rely on regenerative braking, rarely touch the brake pedal.
Service is scheduled for next Thursday.
2020 Model 3 Performance, 14,800 miles, Noticed this troubling etching on my front right rotor. The brakes have felt fine while driving....
When charging to 100%, I regularly get down to around 50% before finding my way to a charger again. For performance reasons, I'd rather operate...
Agree. I have pretty much zero concern about regularly charging to 100% (at least 3 times per week). Slightly different in my case given that...
That is quite remarkable. At 11K miles, my 2020 Model 3 Performance has a lifetime usage of around 340wh/mi. I deal with cold winter...
I am really happy overall with my TM3P. However, it's just not a good road trip car me. I did a highway trip last weekend, and in both...
This is the only photo I have, sorry it doesn't show much. Imgur
Then you would be out of warranty, and also owe extra money at lease end of you exceed your lease mileage.
Right, I would do the same thing, but if it is the case that frequentafrequent acceleration is not good for the long-term health of the car, then...
Leasing is generally not a financially-optimal strategy, but I really love the "perqs" of leasing, which basically all boil down to not caring...
$0. If I'm going on a road trip and don't want to deal with SC'ing, I'll just rent a car.
Understood. In these cases, my car will be parked out in the sun all day at my office, and I'll pull away after work (or in the linked photo,...
2020 Model 3 Performance, recently switched back to 20" stock wheels from winter setup. Anyway, the weather has been getting warmer where I live,...
2020 Model 3 Performance here. I have the stock 20" wheels with the stock tires, and I have a set of 18x7.5" Martian MW03 wheels with Nokian...
Great driving experience. Car likely faster, as the wheels are much lighter. The Nokian tires handle very well even in warm dry weather, and are...
I have 225/50R18 tires on the 18x7.5 MW03 wheels and they work fine.
I've owned my TM3P only during winter so far (temperature range has been between 15F and 45F), and I'm averaging around 440 Wh/mi. I'm really...
I got SMOKED in my P3D recently on a ~35mph-100mph run against a GT-R. Was around 35F outside and I was on 80% SoC with winter tires on...
I don't see any problems here. It seems that the full range can be achieved by driving on a straight road at 45mph with no wind in 70-degree (F)...
What made you go with the narrower width for performance tires?
Yes.
Martian MW03 18x7.5 with Nokian Hakapeliitta R3 225/50-18 tires. Winter wheel/tire setup, obviously.
When I figured out this trick, I no longer had any complaints about how the wiper operates.
I definitely would not buy this car without home charging if I didn't have an L2 charger at my office.
My TM3P replaced a 2013 Audi S6. S6 was the best car I'd ever had, and I like the TM3P MUCH more.
FWIW, my car hasn't issued me a warning yet. I charged to 100% yesterday for the first time, so I'm guessing the warning doesn't come up until I...
I've had great experiences with used ICE cars, but no way I'd buy a used EV in the near future.
From what I see in the manual, I fail to see how a full charge constitutes "abuse and mistreat"[ment]. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is the manual for the Model 3. The "Charging" section begins on page 142. I see warnings/cautions about not letting the battery discahrge...
My user name has nothing to do with the biblical character of Jesus. No, I wouldn't want to purchase my (or any) EV off-lease, due to the...
The mods have had to do cleanup because of other members (not me) violating the terms of conduct. My motivation is not to intentionally damage...
Not true. I came to this thread thinking I should just charge to 100% all the time. Based on feedback, I'm now convinced I should charge to...
I have a set of the Martian MW03 in 18x7.5 on order (hopefully will arrive next week), will fit them with 225/50-18 Nikian Hakkapeliitta R3 tires....
The lease agreement does not give Tesla any opportunity to charge the lessee more (upon lease return) based on charging practices. == 25....
Presumably you've read your lease agreement. I just re-read mine, and I think Tesla would have an impossible task trying to recoup any "damages"...
I'd like to hear more about the moral and ethical responsibility towards future owners (or the lessor, as otherwise mentioned in this thread). I...
No, I haven't made up my mind. As of right now, based on the information I've learned in this thread, I'm inclined to charge to 90 or 95%, rather...
Right, but in my case my battery seems to regularly get down into the 40-50% range with just normal driving (particularly on weekends when I'm...
Electric bill not an issue so far because I charge at my office (for free to me), but great points on the other items. Isn't performance a...
So far I've been doing all charging at a free ChargePoint station at my office, save for one visit to a SuperCharger just to try it out.
While I think these are important considerations, they are not considerations for me. I bought this car because it offers the best performance in...
There is no moral or ethical responsibility whatsoever to the lessor or future owner of the car, as long as I am operating within the contractual...
No, because that would be ridiculous. However, I do basically treat it like I treat a rental car.
That extra 10% is really only 20 miles (not 30), as far as I can tell, based on my driving habits. And as I mentioned, the worst-case scenarios...
Reduction of range anxiety and improved "worst-case scenario" situation. i.e. if something happens where I end up needing to do a long drive with...
Took delivery 18 days ago. I paid something like $100 on the order website just prior to delivery, paid nothing during delivery, and now am...
I've had my car a few weeks, and per the delivery tutorial recommendation, I set my charging ceiling at about 80%. But now I'm thinking, I lease...
Two weeks in, I'm most pleasantly surprised by the usefulness of regular AutoPilot. I go to the same bar every day after work, which involves a...
