    Looks like the Model 3 is getting a Keyfob!

    Maybe he meant frunk and got auto-corrected. Opening the frunk to put in groceries is when I always have to pull out my phone (I can't open the trunk when my car is parked in the garage).

    Problems with AAC files?

    I took my thumb drive from my Model S and put it into my Model 3 when I got it. I have mostly been listening to audio books since then, but yesterday I tried playing music from the thumb drive. The older MP3 files played fine (that's all I tried right after getting the 3), but tracks purchased...

    Limited regen going downhill

    I had something happen on my 3 this morning that has never happened on my S. My commute involves a 1800' climb over a pass followed by an 1800' descent. I usually get a couple kWh back going downhill (although I spend a lot more than that on the climb). This morning it was raining and about...

    Data plan update?

    So back in an old shareholder letter Tesla said this: To further enhance the driver experience, new Model S customers will now receive free data connectivity and Internet radio for four years. As an added benefit to our existing Model S customers, the free four year period starts on January 1...

    Model 3 Width

    I see your source is Motor Trend, unfortunately their figure differs from the official specs published on tesla.com, which show that the Model 3 width is 76.1 mirrors folded and 82.2 mirrors extended.

    Trip display problem in 7.1

    Since upgrading to 7.1 a couple days ago my trip display has gone totally wonky. I unplug the car and drive into work in the morning and very quickly the current trip and since last charge displays start showing different distances. The even stranger thing is that they can jump up and down by up...

    VW Bus to be re-released as an electric vehicle

    Just to be clear, since it's a bit confusing. Despite the title, the video above is of the VW Bulli, an electric mini-MPV concept they showed 4 years ago. The article is speculating on an electric camper they have yet to show.

    Calistoga ranch

    Had a total splurge weekend at Calistoga Ranch for our 10th anniversary. Spent 3 times as much as we've ever spent on a hotel before (which I suppose is similar to what I did buying the Model S). However, great place. Enjoyed it completely. I picked it because it has EV charging. As a...

    BMW i3

    IMO that's making a big assumption about where BMW is going with this. I think it's fair to say that it could be a competitor, but I'm not sure it necessarily will be. It depends whether BMW takes the Nissan route of cutting prices and keeping the car limited range or really tries to enhance...

    Slacker radio interface

    OK, so the user manual doesn't say anything about how to use slacker. Most stuff I can figure out or have gleaned reading the forum, but I have a couple questions. I assume the "favorite song" button is supposed to cause the song to be played more often. After a few hours of listening (over...

    Test drives

    I notice that there is now a button on the web site to request a test drive, so they are finally formally offering them if you don't yet have a reservation. That's good, the whole reserve before you can test drive thing was kind of wonky.

    More superchargers soon

    From the George B blog post: We will be adding Supercharger coverage in many areas over the next three to four months, installing our first Superchargers in the Pacific Northwest, Texas, Illinois, and Florida with additional coverage in the Northeast and California. Can't wait!

    Determining whether you are backing up straight

    I've had no end of difficulty when parallel parking determining whether I am in fact parallel to the curb when I finish. I keep thinking I am, and when I get out the front of the car is sticking out. Finally today I determined why this is. My mind assumes that the dashboard is straight, when...

    3/8 top menu image

    I saw the new image and came here to see all the excellent analysis, only to find there isn't even a thread started! Quote from Elon musk with some letters changed.
