    How noticeable is the acceleration boost from a dual motor long range to a performance Model 3?

    Can you please clarify where you got "0-60 in 3.9 (LR AWD no boost)" from? Tesla says the LR AWD 0-60 is 4.4 seconds.

    Can I determine the date on which a given firmware version was installed on my car?

    Sounds like a smart idea. I've now subscribed to TeslaFi so I'll be able to have this tracked automatically moving forward. BTW I highly recommend. It saves me a lot of work.

    Can I determine the date on which a given firmware version was installed on my car?

    Is it possible to determine the date on which a given firmware version was installed on my car? I know that TeslaFi captures this information in various reports but of course I didn't have TeslaFi running at the time. In this specific case I'm trying to find the installation date of my current...

    Simultaneously Pairing Two Bluetooth Devices

    @StefanSarzio How do you disable media playback on the phone? Where is the option? I am trying to simultaneously connect my iPhone for calls only and an iPod for media only.

    Question About Financing/Leasing

    If you haven't taken the car you can do ANYTHING. Worse case you cancel the whole thing and start again. Quite odd that they offer 3 mileage options and only gave you one.

    Am I an idiot for going for a lease?

    I think the more relevant (and impossible to answer) question is how difficult will it be to sell in 3 years. If this is a concern, the lease protects you from that.

    Am I an idiot for going for a lease?

    I hope I can add some value here as I am in this same thought process myself. << I know the general opinion is that the Tesla lease doesn't offer great terms >> Relative to other car leases you are correct, HOWEVER, since you are planning to keep the car only 3 years then the question when...

    Am I an idiot for going for a lease?

    If you lease through Tesla they pass the tax credit to you - it increases the residual and lows your lease payment. But you do get it.

    Am I an idiot for going for a lease?

    << I suspect that also means you can't sell it early during the lease term either, but I can't confirm that. >> That is correct - no getting out. << #2 - Residuals seem high from what I saw someone post (I can't find the actual thread...). north of 60% after 36 months, which seemed fairly...

    Am I an idiot for going for a lease?

    I'm trying to decide this myself now. I feel there's more uncertainty in 3 years from now than there was 3 years ago. Particularly because: - Many more EVs from other companies will be on the road - Tesla will be more mature - The M3 may or may not have upcoming hardware revisions (that are...

    Am I an idiot for going for a lease?

    I'm struggling with this decision process now. The software gets better, but in a 3 year timeframe from now I would expect a new M3 to have more and better sensors and other upgrades that, unlike the FSD computer, are not upgradeable. In my opinion there's little reason to think that the car...
