    Charging while moving?

    I have wondered about doing this since I first pondered buying a Tesla. Hacking the car seems to be a non-starter for me. I don't really want a maintenance headache. If Tesla offered an Auxiliary towable battery (which is as much as you could expect from Tesla) to extend the range of their...

    Will NEM 3 impact NEM 2 and 1?

    Utilities are monopolies (in most regions). That's not to say they can do anything in their market because they are governed by idiot.. (ahem..) politicians, but they are still monopolies. For all their rhetoric (especially from PG&E), they hate net metering. It forces them to buy your power...

    Black bar/Green bar/dashed bar???

    yup. I suppose a lot of folks in CA got exposed to this as a result of Tesla's message to us that we should charge to 100% because of expected power shutdowns. I did, and saw the dashed lines. Pretty obvious to me what the were. Cool.

    I love this car, but.....

    I have the same car. I have not run it full range on the battery, in fact I have never charged it to 100% I think the highest I ever got was 94%. Not because it won't, I just stopped it before. I use mine for urban use only. Rarely take it on long trips, just back and forth to work, and around...

    Rolling from R to D

    I use this all the time. Backing out of a garage or parking space, just flip the shift lever, stab the pedal and go! This is not a problem for the motor, or drive electronics. As mentioned, no switching of gears involved. One should be cautious that you don't accidentally back into something...

    Cruise and autopilot not being used!

    I thought I was alone in this. I share the same opinion of AP. It's a novelty right now. The adaptive cruise control works well, except for the occasional mysterious brake-check. That's enough to put me off of it forever. My son is constantly asking me to engage AP, he thinks it's cool. The...

    Pearl White Standard Paint?

    I remember when Apple cut the iPhone price. Man folks were ticked. I mean, I get it. You would have paid less if you waited, but does anyone think they then never should have dropped the prices now?

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

    I had my M3 one week and got rear ended. It is projected 3-4 weeks to get it fixed.

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

    CarPlay would be awesome. I know this is controversial, but in my opinion Apple Maps has improved beyond Google and Waze for navigating in traffic. I am always streaming from my phone, whether it's music or podcasts. Even though CarPlay UI is terrible, and way too sparse (IOS13 will be better)...

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

    My Ford Expedition does this really well. My Audi Q7 (fully equipped luxo-model) sucked at this.

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

    Yeah, that's mine too.
