    Teslamate projected range down about 2% within just a month of purchase - M3LR

    It does because the temperature affects resting voltage... So therell be minor fluctuations.

    Media search for USB stopped working

    I posted this a while ago. The ability to search songs in the usb drive disappeared sometime in early to mid 2000s and never came back. In the old day you could say "play so and so" and it would use spotify first (i think) but if it didnt find the song on spotify it would then move onto the usb...

    Model 3 (Stealth) Performance - 5y ownership, service history + high battery degradation?

    i might add here that its very difficult to hit 30% degradation without cell failure.

    you can just activate the honk if you want security. but walkaway lock is usually flawless if not slightly overagressive

    Vendor Teslogic — Mobile Instrument Cluster for Tesla Model 3/Y

    may take some time? The old 310 miles cars do have a hidden buffer, I think 100% range is at 74kwh but the car starts with 78.8kwh so you need to get some degradation before your 100% range actually goes down....

    The car and traffic display could be better

    what we actually need is for the stupid AP view to be collapsable do 20-30% and then get maps and music at the same time.

    Actually mr fusion doesnt power the motor it only powers the flux capacitor..... Its also quite small, i reckon it can provide 1.21gw of power but only for a brrieeefff moment.

    i could equally argue if you apply nuclear fusion to petrol theres 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000 nmpg in petrol........ Why dont we also apply a coefficient to cars too as the charging process isnt efficient. I.e. 90% for charging, 90% for using, maybe 3-5% heatloss. So we have a...

    Sentry Mode is Useless...

    used to annoy me too. in the old days you couldnt turn on camper mode if you were below 20%. So when I was traveling and arrived at a charger with 0% I had to plug into the AC outlet and then do the old neutral gear chinanigans to get the AC to stay on at night. 0 to 20% would obviously take...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    pretty normal you probably had a recalibration event after the BMS became more confident about the range of the battery. Remember the car doesnt really know how much range you have, there is an internal voltage table it constantly compares to current presumed SOC and then it also has a...

    Haha this reminds me charging in Marlborough in early 2020 (so thats actually relatively recent): "oh interesting. Electic car... How much range does it get?" " depends how fast you drive. At 120-130ish maybe 400km. If you stick to 100 450-480ish" "cool. and when you run on petrol?" "its an...

    the uberturbines for the 18" rims are marginally more efficient than the stock covers. A happy accident from china.... Maybe 1% more so?

    EPA is not good, we need a new standard.

    possibly but EPA is already most real-life of all standards.... WLTP and NDEC are far worse and way less realistic. EPA you can actually hit if you do a lot of mixed cityway low speed motorway driving.... and its a good estimate of what you are going to get if you drive 85-95kmh (depending on...

    21” uberturbines on m3p

    it does look evil, i give you that lol. hope its not a safety issue though given that you run on larger tires than normal (sidewall is same as 19" model 3 tires isnt it? so the whole wheel assemby has like 1" more diameter?)

    Cannot figure out how to install Basenor Model 3 Mud Flaps (2022 Model)

    its unfortunately the luck of the draw. Ive gone through quite a few mudflaps (i have damaged 3 or so and then also wanted to switch from matte to glossy) and only 1 set fit well. Some dont come with these thumbpushclips, some actually just have a standard screw even though i find the clips work...

    not sure if that true. a modern RWD 3 probably gets more range while driving fast than a p100d....

    Venting… loaner model 3 sucks

    you can pair a loaner with your cell phone too. If you dont do it when you get in the car it will promt you to scan a ur code to temporary pair until you return it... only annoying thing is that it doesnt carry over your spotify - but it will get your driver profile, seat positions etc. pretty...

    MYLR wheel/tyre rotation advice

    are you telling me you drive with summer tires in scotland in winter? I always though the UK had this bizarre exemption from winter tires largely due to Cornwall/Devon/Kent/Sussex being too warm in winter to justify winter tires and in North UK everyone mounts winter tires?

    uff.... I once did a delayed trip from the uk to germany in my (german) car and drove on winter tires in late april or May. It was quite warm and driving on winter tires wasnt fun. like driving with soft rubber for wheels. Cant imagine that you drive with winter tires all year round - unless...

    i know, i used to live in the uk and some people drive with summer tires all year round. i can understand that - i lived in truro and it can actually be somewhat unsafe to drive wintertires in autum/spring there due to it being too warm.... Also with low horsepowered cars there tends to be...

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    not sure how much bigger the highland model 3 is but the 3 series has grown so much in size in the last 10 years that a model 3 is really more equivalent to a 2 series... The Model 3 does pull it back a bit with the large EV wheelbase and short snout but it really is a smaller car now.

    "Americans" like "Australians" drive with summer tires all year around (Australians because its not worth it just for nighttime temperatures and dry season in winter means even when its -3C at night the road is nice and dry and Americans because they dont care about road safety). If you are in...
