    Performance Boost Available

    Does the throttle response feel more direct after the boost? I've felt the Y has a much more rubber-band effect compared to the AWD 3 and I really hate it, yes acceleration needs more go too but the throttle response is what really bothers me.

    Performance Boost Available

    I know i feel the same, got so much flak on Electrek for saying this - I also think they have changed the throttle mapping to suite SUV types that are not used to that level or responsiveness, I hate the rubber-band feel I get, and the Model 3 AWD has totally ruined me, can't go back to horse...

    Seniors wishing the glovebox had a physical button to open

    To use the Wipers press the left stalk in, (not up or down) it will wipe and bring up the wiper menu, can set speed/auto/off from the menu, longer press the left stalk to get screen wash and a few wipes, it's really easy. I think though that some buttons are too small and should be able to have...

    Warning about accepting delivery

    Got our model Y a couple months ago, beautiful car yes we had a few issues, no deal breakers, I had a 41 point list, and told them I would not buy without an inspection (took closer to 2 hours to leave). Got a Due bill with issues, waited a while because I wanted the craziness to calm down...

    24 hours with the Polestar 2

    should add in efficiency, Tesla's especially M3 is very efficient, I have AWD and often get below 200Wh/m

    Should I Cancel Y?

    Yes we picked up our Y yesterday and cannot recommend enough, this is with a M3 already in the house hold. I had a 40 point check list, as was worried too after seeing all the video's, went over it with a fine tooth brush. I seriously expected a lot of issues, and we bought it planning to most...

    P3D+ fastest 0-60 for cars under 60K?

    Err no the M3P is faster than those rear wheel drive cars on a track too.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Either will do the job, I had both, returned the Samsung (thinking it had faulted - it hadn't) and now using the Sandisk, benefit of Sandisk much cheaper but much less warranty, if you want the 5 year warranty and probably a better drive overall go for the Samsung, that would be my guess and was...

    New breed of Model 3 drivers out there.

    Here in PA - most don't wave back, I thought it maybe hard to see me waving, with the Spetra tint (75) on the front, so I always stretch my arm forward and wave, could be just poor visibility.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    It didn't last long a few weeks, it wasn't that cold yet either. Amazon just sent a new one without waiting to receive the old one, which they don't normally do, makes me think it happens a lot. New one worked last night in low 20's temp (live in a Condo - car can get very cold) - I'll update...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Hey Guys I just wanted to share a extra bit of info for those who have transitioned to the Extreme Micro SD card and adaptor option. I used the Sandisk adaptor (mobileMate 3.0), mentioned in this thread and a Samsung High endurance 128GB Micro SD card, worked perfectly until it just stopped...

    I had that drive running 24/7 as live in Condo and it came up with the error regularly.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Same here, although I opted for the Samsung 128GB which is a more expensive but has a longer warranty.
  14. MrABRanch

    My first (AWD) 0-60.

    Very curious what the AWD 0-60 will be after the next 5% power upgrade, in theory it should be closer to 4s flat! - which would be awesome.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Well I was having the error along with others using similar hardware since V10 - I don't think it's coincidence. I've got the new memory in, will see how it performs going forward.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I have a samsung bar plus 128 (I think it's basically the same as the Samsung Fit plus) - I also use my SentryMode 24/7 so it's writing constantly (live in a condo, and have Sentry on all the time) Before v10 no issues, after update started getting the write speed error dialogue. It doesn't...

    I did the same, got the same message! then swapped USB ports and so far no message, if it's something wrong with the port I'll have to put in a service request.

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Thanks that's all very helpful, I'm gonna try that do not allow windows to fix this drive thing. I had a few days of it working then came to car this am and the Teslacam icon was greyed out, after reinserting it was working again. Very strange bug, pretty sure my drive is fast enough...but will...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    I have the samsung Bar Plus 128GB, it looks on paper to have the same stats as the Samsung Fit plus but I'm getting speed errors, if I unplug and plug it back in it goes away. Does the Samsung fit plus work with a Music partition and Teslacam/Sentry cam partition? I don't want to buy another...

    MASTER THREAD: USB drives that work with Sentry and TeslaCam

    Yes exactly same here - Maybe it is a software bug, just got another update downloaded, hope that fixes it. This one really should do it - here are the stats (Samsung BAR Plus 128GB - 300MB/s USB 3.1 ) : (1) Up to 300 MB/s for 256/128GB models; Up to 200 MB/s for 64/32GB models. (2) Minimum of...

    I recently got this drive which is supposed to be fast and USB (Samsung BAR Plus 128GB - 300MB/s USB 3.1) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BPG9YX9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Now with V10 and the rear camera, and partitioned with a Music Dir - it shows that the tesla...

    I'm amazed at what owners don't know

    Exactly! What's up with human beings, I mean I wave at other Model 3 drivers merrily and often they stare back blankly, more often than I get a wave back, as if it's just another car, on the road going from A to B, probably thinking 'why is that strange man waving at me'

    X hit by 17 year old kid who just got his license, what now?

    gonna be more than 30k, I had a much smaller dent scrape from a tow truck, no internal damage, it was almost 8k, that is huge damage, you should get a separate estimate....to me it looks like a total.

    Range, Wh/mi, General Battery Usage, and the Energy app

    It's not 1% a hour I have mine on 24/7 and it doesn't lose 24% in one day, more like 10-15% I would guess.

    Range, Wh/mi, General Battery Usage, and the Energy app

    Sentry mode is a huge drain, I live in a condo and charge my M3 every 4-5 days, this would be easily 10 days if I turned off sentry mode, but it's on 24/7 (and it's caught a kid dropping a skateboard and denting my rear liftgate)...it's gotta take a lot recording continuously on 3x camera's at...

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    Man I feel bad for you, that really sucks, what a PITA. But I do think this is totally different from the accidental putting the car into TACC in a car park situation. I think the problem is creep mode, I don't use it and don't like it, I come from manuals and the auto's creeping forward always...
  28. MrABRanch

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    Yeah I think it's too easy to make this mistake, mocking people for not reading the manual, is just a poor man's tactic, clearly this stalk can be easily accidentally put into TACC and create unexpected situations.
  29. MrABRanch

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    I just think the car needs to have more safety with this possible accident, it's the situation where you're in 'H'old mode and then accidentally knock the stalk down into 'D' (which it is already in) this leads to a TACC event, that will be unexpected and yes, could lead to a sudden dangerous...

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    Does it just lurch forward then stop - do you have a video, I know this makes sense but I also think it's a bug and could easily lead to an accident, shouldn't be so easy to have the car move forward suddenly, unexpectedly.
  31. MrABRanch

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    Thanks that makes sense, and I've put it in TACC accidentally before, maybe it saw other cars in the parking lot, thinking about it this is probably what happened, as I was in 'H' mode, which is still drive, I then without thinking set it to 'D' which would have started TACC as it was already in...

    Another Sudden Acceleration

    I had a event happen recently, first time, pulled over in parking lot to let family into car, car was in 'hold' mode and beeping warnings because doors were open, but it was for a few seconds so I didn't bother to put it into park, as soon as doors were closed and I put the car into drive and...

    Spectra Photosync Tint

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    Things that I would like to change: 100x yes to hatchback, I took my deposit back for this reason, was completely gutted about this, in the end had to come crawling back to Tesla and just suck it up, but it's just a dumb design choice, and very practical compared to the sedan design.

    What’s the one thing you like the least about your Model 3?

    The problem is not the door seals it's the window when it's fully down rattles in it's cage, the door window seal stops this when the window is up a little.

    Battery Degradation Scientifically Explained

    Hey could you give any advice for owners who can only charge at SC (I live in a condo with no access to charging) - I charge every 5 days or so to 90% (so far in not very hot weather in PA) and it goes down to 10-15% but only for the last leg of the drive to the SC (it's generally around 20%...

    Anyone else SOLELY relying on supercharging?

    I also live in a condo with no access to charging, when this changes I'll charge at home, as it stands I have to charge every 5 days or so at my local SC which is 15-20 minute drive. It would be less often but because I'm in a condo I leave sentry mode on all the time and it drains the battery...

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    Sorry how does that calculation work? - 1.6kWh/1000ft/ what is this part ? I will do the opposite direction when I get the chance, but I kinda don't want to do it first thing because my no.s start so high, I think because of the situation mentioned above.
  44. MrABRanch

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    OK I got my Library 2 miles back home (with mostly downhill sections) down to 102Wh/mi!! at one point it dropped to 78Wh/mi, I thought I was gonna beat my goal, anyway still pretty cool, this time very very easy driving, intentionally being very light on throttle, still going upto normal road...
  45. MrABRanch

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    Yeah the uphill is definitely more, it's hard to say because it always starts with a very high number that comes down, so when I leave at first it's like 700Wh/mi after a few minutes this becomes 300Wh/mi and then slowly drops from there, but then I hit the hills and it brings the numbers down...

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    Been trying some low Wh/mi short runs locally back from library (where I take my kid after school) and getting some pretty crazy low numbers, last run average was 108Wh/mi - over 2 miles. (OK images are showing 114Wh/mi but this is taken many hours later, the numbers shifted in that time for...

    Bonus Charging Miles...how do you know you have them?

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    I'm averaging 238Wh/Mi but only 600 odd miles so far - Spirited driving with a mix of chill driving (not chill mode). Enjoying the acceleration too much but trying to aim for efficiency. Just did a school run, nice 70's outside, windows open no AC, 190Wh/Mi average, on the way back was actually...
