Me and my wife have been having this exact discussion and watching this thread and this recent video helped us a lot and we are almost decided :) so I wanted to post it in hopes that it helps other decide as well.

I have a Model 3 and I think somewhere in the owners manual (which I did read when I first got the car) it said use touchless washes to avoid damage to the sensors etc. In winter I use those and in summer I get my nephews to hand wash it for me in exchange for some pocket money :)

Whats worse is they send you a 1099MISC and make you pay (fed&state) taxes on it as if it were income!!

It ended up being quite easy to charge. As you can see in the pics below there are 2 sets of charges the first picture is at the marina where you CAN park overnight as long as you go during the marina office hours and pay for the required number of days get the tag which I have added a picture...

The SR+ is a pretty awesome car. I have some people at work who have the AWD LR model which I actually drove around a bit before making my decision and performance wise the difference is only slightly noticeable but apart from that everything else is almost the same. Sound, and software feature...

I was basically trying to imitate my actual driving and trying to match what I saw the car do. I agree I wouldn't plug in 200 when planning my trip, but this helped me sort of understand what my car can do under certain conditions and if push came to a shove I would better understand the...

I kept the reference speed at 120 so that the speed capping param is always the max speed. You can check this by clicking on the route at a point and see what is the planned speed. I tried leaving the Max speed at the default of 93 and plugging in 108 and 117 (ended up being 76mph) and got...

It's reassuring to hear from a veteran like you that I'm on the right track to being a responsible EV owner :). I was actually on the market for a regular car and got turned by some Tesla owners at work and some research so still trying to figure this EV lifestyle :) Btw, I think it will be...

I have been a SR+ owner for just under a month ~2500 mi including a ~700 mi road trip. While the Tesla routing works great and the energy graphs are surprisingly accurate it doesn't provide any planning capability for a longer trip (with breaks etc), also the SR+ is not an option that is...

I will be there for 3 days. Thanks for the additional info and I agree its a matter of gaining confidence on the cars predictability. I do use a better route planner but the default params it uses for my car seems to be quite off. I have done a couple of experiments over the last couple of weeks...

Yeah, that's the thing, I have the Model 3 SR+ (240mile battery, gets to about 236 on full charge), so I have to plan a little hrder I guess :). I agree with you though that it should not be a problem. The destination charger at the marina seems to be in an open lot with no gates but is not a...

Thanks for the detailed post, I was getting a little worried since this place seems to be a little far from any superchargers and couldn't find a hotel with any chargers. I was about to drop the plan and go somewhere else but with your post and what TomServo said, I think I'll be fine if push...

Thanks for the post, scheduled my inspection for Monday, they were also recommended by another M3 owner at work.

I hope it is never over :). I would hope they know that it is a good thing that that they are busy.

I couldn't agree more as someone who works in a company with our own manufacturing facilities in the US. The stresses that I have seen the operations people go through is amazing when we have our sales spike especially for new products for which the assembly lines are not yet at max efficiency...

Just got a text saying that I have been scheduled for a pickup on 6/17!! Checked the Tesla page and I see it updated with the VIN - 5YJ... and the delivery appointment also shows up there. The text asked me to update my "delivery profile" on the account but I don't see any link to do that? I...

Same config and delivery option here ordered on 5/29, still no VIN :( I ordered a couple of days earlier and still nothing and the 19 days from VIN to delivery is worrying and getting too close to 6/30.

I've done that a couple of times earlier last week as well :) (I'm too excited and impatient) and they said everything was fine and I have to wait till I get assigned a VIN. They also gave me the approx 3 week time frame as the sales guy.

This worries me - I am in the Philly area and ordered on 5/29, no update on the page. (wondering if the east coast has any supply/delivery issues, most of the people claiming 2/3 weeks delivery here are in the west coast or midwest) I called the King Of Prussia store yesterday to talk to the...

lol - based on this experience I actually increased my holdings of the stock when it dipped below 200 :)

Ordered SR+, blue, aero, black interior on 5/29. Finished all the required steps on the account by 5/30 including accepting the financing via Testa (I got 3.69% from Chase so didn't bother trying to shop around). Still no VIN on the page or in source code. Called Tesla and they said that they...
