    Car washes in the GTA?

    I will try this for my next wash, however although Dundas and 3rd line location uses a rail pull it's quite wide and did not scratch my wheels. And indeed it cleaned the car very well.

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    Just to close the loop on this, I did my first road trip (Toronto to Boston and back) in my SR+, thanks for the awesome and helpful tips you all provided. ABRP was spot-on estimating the charges required. I found Tesla suggestions to be little risky. using 125% ref speed on ABRP was an excellent...

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    @Rocky_H @darth_vad3r I still feel it's better to be conservative with 125% on ABRP when you are driving SR+, however your point about highway speed limits makes sense. Usually personally I do not drive at 100miles, max 80 m/hr (130KM/hr)

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    thanks for the advise @KenC , the idea of waypoint is good, I will add that in ABRP. And yes, I will be charging in Dedham SC once I reach Norwood., although my Hotel in Norwood has a destination charger (don't wanna rely on that). However I am not sure about Browser in car, mine is SR+ and does...

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    Got it @darth_vad3r , this makes sense and I will keep it to 125% to be conservative. And as I said I usually use Traffic Aware Cruise Control

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    @MrMassTransit, thanks for the advice, I have experienced that speed definitely is the one of the key factors of battery drain. I am planning to drive around limit+10 miles/hr mostly on traffic aware cruise control. Hope that will give me optimum drive efficiency

    SR + First Road Trip - any tips ?

    @darth_vad3r @PlainKay - as soon as I changed ref speed to 125% , the route plan on ABRP changed indeed. pasted below for your ref. Now it has added one more stop at Guilderland NY

In addition to Tesla Route planner I'm using ABRP (A Better Routeplanner ) for route and supercharging planning , the route suggested by ABRP pasted/attached below. Has anyone used...

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    I believe cabin overheat protection is definitely required, it protects all the electronics and battery when cabin temps reaxh certain thresholds of min -20 and Max 40 degree Celsius. So this is definitely required and I don't think advisable to be turned off. On the other had sentry mode is...

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    Yes, I will try adjusting settings in my model 3 for cabin overheat and sentry mode as well, however I believe Tesla engineering team needs to work on improving effeciency of these required functionalaties so they consume min battery.

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    I will switch off the sentry mode, however I feel it defeats the basic purpose of having this safety feature. I agree it's not required when you have parked in home garage but if it's outside and something happens this is a useful feature. I think Tesla team needs to make this feature more...

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    @M423 makes sense however drain of 30 KMs in 12 hrs while parked seems quite high. And for SR+ your range is already just 344 if you are clarging 90% every day. Based on my tests today So far t looks like sentry mode is the culprit. And now I am testing climate control as well with sentry off

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    @TT97 , since morning my car was in the garage with sentry off and the drain was only 3 KMs, now I moved the car outside in the driveway/in the sun with sentry off , will test for another 4 hrs to see what's the drain by climate control , thanks

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    @KenC , thanks for the response, you are correct. I tested this since morning. my car was at home parked in garage with sentry off and the drain was just 3 KMs in 4 hrs. Now I am testing parked on driveway/in the sun and sentry off, temperature is around 32 degrees Celsius , so let's see how...

    Model 3 SR+ losing range while parked (29 KMs per 12 hrs)

    Okay thanks for the advise, I will try keeping sentry mode off for one day. And I read in the manual, climate control does not kick off till cabin team reached 40 degree Celsius
