The posting of this thread has a revealed a serious immaturity in way the the board is moderated AND in the way many users behave. Much of this forum seems to have been invaded by those who hold what are essentially identity values. You either LOVE Tesla or you HATE Tesla and there are zero...

I was there a few days back and two of ten were down. This is my favorite charging spot and who does not LOVE the Collin Street Bakery? It was the very first time I have ever waited to charge since I have owned my car so this is great news. However if you do have to wait I cannot think of a...

With 2020.8.1 my range (originally 335mi) dropped from 326 to 320, yesterday with the 2020.12 upgrade I am now seeing 320 miles. I have a March 2019 MS LR pre raven with 20K miles, and a 335 mile stated range. Of vehicles matching my type and in similar temperature situations, TeslaFi reports...

I don't think they can read without first getting enraged. I would cal you a TJW

Read the post again. PM = Permanent Magnet

Tesla Justice Warriors: These are the trolls around here that, like their "Social" counterparts, attack without provocation, don't regard facts but prefer name calling, are highly narcissistic, and attempt to silence any opinions counter to theirs taking them as deep personal insults. I just...

Check out my follow up post. I love my Tesla and you can find numerous posts I have made supporting the company. I used an unfortunate word: :Useless" and I should have said "Disappointing", so be it. That is no excuse for the name calling that occurred among what I now call the TJW. "Tesla...

If you read the post if refers to my Model S not a Model 3 which, apparently you have. Try to get hold of your narcissism, it was not an attack on you. Since you are so big on expressing opinions, mine is that you are a moron.

Love that episode

Well guys and girls I love my Tesla so don't take it so hard. And for those who suggested that I have challenged your right to express your opinion, I have not, continue your name calling, and show everyone who the jerks really are.

This is the most absurd and worst rip-off quote I have ever seen or heard of... completely ridiculous. Expose the rip-off electrician and get a quote from someone honest.

I have a GM. Chill. I have a right to my opinion.

Okay yes and yes. The increments are so tiny and mostly fixes. Why do we still have to remove the USB to view the Sentry files? This is done by design and letting us see those would be a far better "minor" improvement. These are all nothing but bug fixes and minor improvements, many of...

One of the longest awaited updates ever with absolutely NOTHING of value unless you have a PM motor or a 2020 model. Really Tesla? Focusing on regen to claim a questionable few extra miles? That is the big news? Where is the FSD?

useless update unless you have a brand new car - like made this year - quit wasting my time with useless updates Tesla. I would guess that less than 5% of owners got anything of any use or value in this update.

Same - coming in now

Most of the superchargers I have seen in Texas that are not in hotel or motel parking lots allow 30 minutes parking to all vehicles.

Well, good luck down state. Sprinfield has superchargers, absolutely nothing in much of west central Illinois. Hannibal Mo is just across the river near Quincy and has all permits approved for 2020 install. I travel to this area from Texas and have to plan charges carefully. There are very...

Right on! I keep suggesting this too, especially since the 14-50 Tesla adapter no longer comes with the car and is so spotty with availability. The 6-50 is always in stock and the same price.

Excellent advice. I voted to do it yourself. If you have tools and are a DIY type and have done some wiring yourself already it is very simple and cheap. If you have any doubt about any part of what you are doing then call an electrician and tell them you want it for an arc welder or something...

Good point, that should weigh heavily in one's decision, makes the upgrade seem pretty expensive.

Yea! Born in Hannibal raised in Quincy - I got out before I was one. Right now the ONLY level 2 charger in Quincy is a hotel where you plug into a light post.

I took delivery of my MS 6/6/2019 and all fees were prepaid along with the car and TT&L before delivery. They brought it to my house with temporary tags and I received the plates about 30 days later.

Being able to switch to Autopilot

Yep I am experiencing the wall effect. It will be interesting to see if the MCU is actually different...

No. I use a 2.4 gig all weather TPlink access point for my MCU2 MS. In my experience the MCU2 wifi tends to prefer the 2.4 gig N band over the 5 gig AC band. I also use a dual band Aerohive access point that is configured to push the slower connections to the 2.4 gig radio thus keeping the 5...

OR install a NEMA 6-50R those adapters are almost always in stock at Tesla, and there should be no cost difference to install it. This is a standard plug at many RV parks and rest areas and offers a rarely discussed way to charge in a pinch.

yep, scary

Just as tight as you can get it without stripping something...

Oops - right you are - tandem and halfwidth - my bad

A 240v circuit is going to use half the available space in your box, leaving room for two additional 120v circuits, or one more 240v. So long as that presents no problems you are good for a 30 amp 14-30 plug. Looks like you could/should also change that 40 amp main to a 60 based on the he...

Sometimes you get a break... not too hard to install when you can fish a 15 inch length of #6 right into the box.

Yep now I remember that is exactly what I did - it's been a while

I agree with @UKNOWINVU2, although I use the HPWC, it will be more $$$ to install and you still have to buy it for $500. Wire the plug for 60 Amps and then if you want to switch later to the wall charger you will be ready. The charger that comes with the car is more than sufficient. One note...

This label was under the frunk on the passenger side. I raised the suspension to get the shot easier.

What??? Have you ever been here? The irritating things are all over. Most especially irritating are the two lane ones which seem to be everywhere in Denver.

They were going for $500 to $1000 on eBay when I got mine and there was no Gen 3, and Gen 2 HPWC could be had on Tesla.com for $500 delivered with warranty. There is no logical reason other than Ebay sellers who hope someone will bite. I ended up paying $400 on eBay for a lightly used long...

My MS was built in April 2019 and has revision D, oddly it came with HW3.

Just discovered this too, removes the nag. I like it.

Yes, but being better than Facebook is hardly a virtuous claim.

Is Tesla telling the OP that the range reduction he is seeing is from both normal battery degradation AND his driving habits? If so does that mean that somehow the OP's driving habits, or a resulting calculation is now permanently part of the car's BMS data as to how range and charge speed are...

It's the best informational forum hands down. Unfortunately it's filled with trolls. Also the moderators seem non-existent. I gave them a donation and never heard a word - nothing - not even an acknowledgement. I still get the banners hounding me to donate though.

Never heard of such a thing. WOT is it?

Autopilot features not withstanding, I would consider range to be of primary consideration. I do not know your situation but if you have never lived with an EV you need to seriously consider vehicle range, especially if you take round trip one day drives that exceed the range of your car...

I would love to know the answer to that... and what it may cost. Let us lknow.

Because when my car is in the garage, especially with the door down, there is no need to deplete charge and fill up my USB stick with pics of whomever in my family happened to enter the garage. Bottom line is it's not needed in many situations.

My MS was manufactured April 2019, I bought it during the May 2019 inventory sale with FSD and it was delivered with HW3. For some reason Tesla did not know this as they scheduled me for an upgrade only to discover, after a phone call to Freemont, that HW3 was factory installed, and that there...

Tell them you want the plug for an arc welder - the price will drop in half and it will be exactly the same.

If the drive works when you first use it then it's likely that many problems perceived to be memory stick failures are actually corrupted partitions resulting in low performance and lost space. A low level re-partitioning will bring them back and uncover lost space when a format fails. This can...

My cousin got his M3 upgraded yesterday and lost only wifi passwords, not too bad.
