    Optimized amount of range, in one hour.

    I no longer live in a building with charging. (They are working on it.) As such, my only charging options in Miami Beach, are a garage with a $6/1 hour minimum charge, or one which is $15/day. Both of which have 72kw superchargers. How do I get the most amount of range in the one hour? I...

    Suggestions for setting up a 3P for city driving

    I have my replacement 3P on order. The 20” wheels on my 19 all cracked/dented in short order. The 18” ones road much better, and still seem fine. Are there any “comfort” focused options, which get rid of the strange behavior in high speed corners?

    Pinstripes on a CT?

    I admit this may seem absurd, but there is a good local pinstriper. I was thinking about having him pinstripe my CT, whenever it come in, then shooting it with clear coat.

    Other than the 0-60 time, any major differences?

    Tesla trying to install a used battery in my 3

    My insurance company approved their initial estimate, and now Tesla is trying to install a “remanufactured” battery, for $16K?

    Any idea on battery replacement lead time?

    I’m not getting an answer from Tesla. A drive shaft cam off a truck in I-95 and punched a hole in it.

    Suspension question for folks who’ve had German cars

    And have a 3P Does the suspension feel “right” at speed? I was messing around, in the desert, my tires were inflated correctly, and my 3P felt like it was working really hard over 105. I now have NO desire to go on the track in it. I know it’s not a dedicated sports car, but my old E550...

    How to uninstall v.10/get an update. (Lost all mobile connectivity.)

    I did a search, and couldn't find out how to revert to my earlier, bug-free, software - well, except blind spot detection not working, but that hasn't worked since May. I have lost all mobile connectivity, since updating, and I've rebooted twice. I have 32.11.1

    Anyone with a gunmetal 3 have their paint polished?

    I forgot Tesla's name for it, and I couldn't find any threads about it. I'm being encouraged to have my car ceramic coated, and I've seen what polishing the orange peel out can do for other cars. Has anyone had their orange peel polished out on a gun metal car? I'd like to see some pictures.

    Tifton and Savannah GA SCs?

    I know I've seen some negative comments about the SC in Savannah - any reason why? If its just dull, I can deal with that - just planning a more interesting drive/one which doesn't involve getting off 20 in ATL, to charge, and then getting back to 20.

    Special colors for Performance models?

    OK, so Tesla seems to have enough issues dealing with paint - but some other companies, especially American ones, have reserved certain colors for their high-performance models. It helps to differentiate the econo versions from the higher end ones. Frankly, I think its a good idea. I know...

    In case I've forgotten something about physics (thruster question)

    Eletrek had some crazy statement about the thrusters on the Roadster letting it "hover" A) No idea why a car would ever need upforce, so bit odd... B) Its still F=ma, right? So, even at hundreds of miles per hour - say even a a thousand miles per hour, we'd still be talking about hundreds of...

    2019.24.4 gone very buggy

    Rear view camera cut out, random reboots while driving, now the data connection has tanked. Also, no matter the temp I drop. It to, my fan speed won't go above 4, when left on auto I've tried rebooting a few times without effect

    Spacex Theme Song (una Chiste)

    There's a part of me that would find it hilarious, and appropriate, if this was part of the pre-launch sequence.

    Going buggy all at once?

    The screen went black, while driving yesterday, then one of the mirrors didn't rotate back, when I parked this morning, and the blind spot camera said it didn't work, until it got cycled, then the back up camera didn't come on.

    "Squirreliness" under heavy braking

    I cannot remember what car it reminds me of, and it could just be due to the weight, but if I brake heavily, only at higher speeds, it seems like the car moves around quite a bit - takes quite a bit of steering to keep it straight. This was in the first couple hundred miles, so I'm not sure if...

    Tire pressure for autoX?

    What pressure are y'all running? I have a feeling it should be fairly high, due to the weight.

    Odd phone as key issue

    The phone works fine to unlock the car, but when I get in, I cannot put it in drive, until I pull the app up on my phone. It shows no warnings, nor asks for me to tap my card key, just won't go into drive.

    85-90MPH range

    On a 3P - I can test this myself in a little while, but does anyone know the range at that speed? (The interstate back home has an 85MPH speed limit)

    Model S long range vs Model 3P for high mileage

    I drive quite a bit. I sat down w, the accountant and we planned out that if I drive the car to 120K miles, it makes a great deal of sense vs my usual cars. Anyone have any input?

    Tesla, soil restoration and "Youth"

    As this is about the "crunchiest" group I am in communication with, I wanted to bounce a few ideas off y'all. Rural America's population is in free-fall - and all farming operations are running out of labor. And, the largest?, certainly one of the largest sources of atmospheric CO2 increase...

    Trail braking vs. lifting in track mode

    Has anyone seen if its faster to trail break/can the 3P trail brake, vs lifting the throttle?

    Suggested accessories for tall and short drivers to share the car

    So "Darling", has her own car, of course, but likes the idea of driving my 3P, once it arrives. She's 5'3", mostly leg, I'm 6'4". (she was a sprinter, I was a weightlifter, we're pretty much on opposite ends of the physical spectrum) Any suggestions for things to make life easier? I'm...

    How much benefit in going to 18"/19" tires on a performance?

    Mainly, I'm interested in quietness, and ride comfort - but my M3 didn't do so well on 20" tires, around here... 18 years ago... (Had a "Getting Old" moment...) I'd like to switch to 18" rims, I think - I believe they are the lightest option, but I'm a bit concerned that if I have a tire...

    Leaving a phone with the Tesla app, inside the car?

    I usually just carry a flip phone, and leave a smart phone in the car. Is it possible to install the app on a smart phone, and use it to manage the car, etc, if needed, but not set it to act as a key?

    Lockable cases/maintaining privilege

    Admittedly, its been "awhile" since I worried about being in a area with valet parking, and having client files in the car. I used to have cars that I could either physically lock the valet out of the trunk, or a locking case for leaving files/my laptop, etc. If I read the manual correctly...
