Keep a plug kit in the trunk. I've had my 3 since April 2019. 5 flat tires later I finally replaced 1 tire. The other 3 are still running after almost 40,000 miles with several plugs installed

Driver side rear tire needed changing. I had double-plugged it a few weeks ago after running over a large bolt (3/8x4). Plug popped out, I installed new plugs, drove home 40 miles, and called for road side assistance. Drive came and put the car on a flat bed. Asked for the card key and took off...

My direct job wasn't affected by the virus or riots or whatever else happened. My commute remained the same every Monday through Friday - The changes I'm seeing in the graph are reflected in actual driving range. I leave with 90% and get home now with 26% where it used to be about 13%. Maybe...

No this is not something Tesla is rolling out but an observation of my 1 year old M3std (220) w/30,000 miles. Over the past year I've seen pretty dramatic range loss and figured it was normal. Considering I'm driving 132 miles a day M-F, i figured I was beating the battery up so range loss is...

Purchased SR not Plus but when new it showed 240 miles at 100%. A few months ago the promised downgrade came through and estimated range showed 220 as expected. Since then it's been consistently dropping. I'm not worried as most of my driving is at highway speeds (65 to 75) so the drop is...

South Florida. SR owner. 100% charge shows 193 miles. 19000 miles since picking it up in late May 2019. ~11% degradation. My daily commute is 140 miles so I'm beating this battery up every day. Oh and I top off from 90 to 100% just before leaving each morning.

A few days later I'm parked at a local mall parking lot. Waiting for my son to finish his class so I'm chilling out watching Netflix. From my rear view I see a group of teens flying towards me on BMX bikes. 3 fly by, 1 hits my mirror. Something explodes and flies off the car but the mirror is...

This is bullshit! I yelled out as i stared at the trunk of my black 3. She told me to wait while she got her stupid 7-11 cup forgotten inside. I waited where I thought I was pulled out far enough from the garage. She found her cup, jumped in the car so I hit the button and the garage door...

Definitely confirmed. My SR had been an SR+ for 3 months. Charged to 100% to test 238/240 miles and regen was not working. 2 weeks ago they finally downgraded me to SR @ 220. I charge that sucker to 100% every night. Regen works perfectly at 100% SoC because its just software locked.

Me too. Purchased 3 SR but enjoyed the additional SR+ features for about 3 months. Doesn't bother me that I was finally updated to what I paid for but what terrible timing. Just as we are waiting for Dorian to hit and Tesla announces they will increase range for Florida owners they decide to...

We are deciding on adding another Tesla to our garage. Scheduled to pickup an X 100D tomorrow so we are debating what to do with our current gas guzzler. If we do get it I'll be driving that thing instead of the little toy 3 car which will be hers to use on her short daily trips.

There is a charging station about 2 blocks from my office. It is a chargepoint 1772 w/ 6Kw/hr - cost is $1.50 for 2 hours.

Purchased as a SR but the car still thinks it's a SR+. I'm charging to 216 or about 90% of the current 240 max. Once they adjust options with software and limit mileage to 220 I'll just peg it at 100%.

Just over a month now with the SR and all is fine. The 3 standard range works for my needs so far. Sometimes I'll stop for a few minutes of super charging on the way home, most days it's not needed. Typically arrive home with 16 to 18 % battery left so it's not as bad as I originally thought...

7 days tomorrow already. I think I drove it twice this week. Wife took over and the car has become her baby. I guess we're keeping it since she installed Tints. We found manufacturing problems with the paint a few days ago and have setup a service appointment tomorrow, the 7th day. The paint...

Picked up the car. Looks great. Have 7 days to play and return if we decide to upgrade. So we paid for the standard/basic 35K with 220 mile range BUT they gave us the S+ with 240miles of range. So far so good. Learning to keep an eye on Wh/ml and have been able to keep that below 230 average...

Maybe not actually saving money by going with a Tesla but here's what I'm looking at. 1. My current car needs an oil change every month. 2. It currently has 140K miles and coming up on the timing belt service. 3. Also has developed a problem with the brake booster vacuum line causing brake...

You're scaring me but I agree the standard is not the right car for me. Going to see if it's possible to find a single motor LR instead. Everyone has valid points here. Reading reviews, tables, stories, etc... seems that the SR can make it but it's going to be a hassle everyday and I will end up...

Would love to get the correct tool but I just can't see spending $10K more for possible 90 additional miles. I'm ok with super charging if needed on the way home. I did hear that super charging every day can hurt the battery so maybe driving speed limits will be my best option. Hoping the car is...

350 what? SR renamed from standard range to super range.

Thanks for the idea on asking my employer about installing a charger. it's actually an excellent idea to promote EV's locally. Google map shows a supercharger near my daily route so I may end up having to stop there on my way home. There are several evgo's and chargepoint chargers along my way...

Waiting for delivery of the standard range in about a week. Preparing the garage now having an electrician install a nema outlet. So I've been sweating bullets reading reviews, recommendations, complaints, maps, routes, etc.. on the SR. My daily routine is 62 miles (80% open hwy 20% stop-n-go...
