Same thing happened to me for my model 3 back in 2019. It was the first year Tesla did this but I got my VIN 10/25/19 and it was a 2020 VIN. If they follow suit, we should see the 2022 VINs drop soon.

As an update the service department called me back and told me they will issue me a check for the subscription amount and will take around 3-4 weeks to be processed and get to me. Not sure why it is this hard for them to do refunds when especially it's their fault but I guess it's not built into...

I got delivery of my MYP a little over a month ago. I traded my Model 3 with EAP so, getting used to that, I wanted to subscribe to FSD to have navigate on autopilot and auto park from day one. Little that I know, my autopilot was faulty and didn't work from the factory. Of course you don't know...

The one good thing about the delay in delivery is my model 3 performance trade in value was $49,200 when I put the order in and now it is up to $51,200. It's crazy but it might even go higher before I take delivery! I am almost asking my SA daily to submit the new trade value. It is changing...

Ordered 6/29, got my VIN yesterday. 239xxx. Delivery next week or the week after that. Performance white on white with tow hitch.

Some states don't require a VIN but just an active insurance. That's what I did with my order in VA by just using my model 3's insurance info.

Getting ready for winter, installed RPM Tesla color keyed mud flaps.

You wouldn't even need this if Tesla enabled car to grid charge capability. From what I understand, our vehicles are already capable of this. Even within Tesla community, the owners would then help each other by sharing their charge with stranded owners. Just plug Tesla to Tesla, just enough to...

The solution will be adding electric powertrain to campers with their own battery pack. That way, you can lower the consumption of the towing vehicle down to what it normally would be in regular driving conditions. So for a model Y for example, you can still tow and travel over 250 miles which...

I just purchased EAP couple of weeks back and to me that's more then enough. It is so much fun driving this car, I am afraid if I was to upgrade to FSD I would never drive to justify the money I need to pay. Even with EAP, I don't even bother driving anymore on the highway, at least now I have...

Looks like 2020.40.7 is adding 10 miles of range to existing model Ys. No word on model 3s. Perhaps it only improves if there is a heat pump. From the release notes “your car’s range has increased with new software that improves the efficiency of the motors and the climate control system.”

"A source familiar with the matter told Electrek that Tesla has equipped new Model 3 vehicles with a new “efficiency package” that improves on Tesla’s already industry-leading efficiency and resulting in the longer range." No idea what that is.

It doesn't look like software. It's probably the 5% improved battery that will be on the new models. We will know for sure soon once someone gets delivery and connects scan my Tesla to measure the nominal pack.

I do understand where they are coming from trying to show EVs can be used both as a daily driver and for taking long trips but instead of quoting unrealistic range numbers if they were advertising the actual achievable numbers, I believe that honest approach would have attracted more buyers and...

I wish they left the ranges as is with the updated battery packs. It would have hide the initial degradation for a very long time and also would give out a more realistic and achievable range estimate. It doesn't make sense to sell a car with a range estimate that is unrealistic in almost any...

Do you have FSD option? If not that price seems normal. They have the updated 2021 models starting from $38K. That KBB trade in value doesn't make sense for standard range.

I believe it was, 250 299 322

It is very high and with that consumption the range you are getting is normal. You should be around 150Wh/km to get the rated range.

My battery drain still seems to be pretty good. Parked the car with 252 miles Monday afternoon and it was at 251 miles this morning after almost 4 days. Perhaps the 252 was not accurate and it did gain some after I parked but still it showed only 1 mile loss.

The battery swap would have worked nicely if you didn't own the battery but leased it. So you wouldn't care about what battery back you would get out of the swap since you would never own it. There are some companies that do that in Europe. Not the swap but the battery lease. I believe Renault...

I get similar results but I dont use sentry and don't have cell coverage so nothing to wake up the car

If you don't have access to a charger at home or not charging everyday and using cabin overheat protection, sentry etc and doing multiple trips between charges and also following best practices in charging and not charging to 100% and going to 0%, my experience with my performance model 3 is, it...

I didn't think about that and I prefer it not to be connected. If it was, I would be frequently checking it and waking it up.

I own a performance and live in a condo without an outlet as well. So no charging at home but no issues so far not having a charger at home. As for how long you can leave without plugging in, my experience is, I left mine without plugging in for around 30 days and lost around 10% during that...

I would say with that efficiency it is normal. 260Wh/mi for SR+ is on the higher side. I do get around 250Wh/mi on my LR performance under same conditions. It might be due to factors like altitude change or wind perhaps.

My Nov 2019 build 2020 model stealth performance with 19 inch wheels with the rated 260 Wh/mi constant gives me anywhere from 258 miles to 265 miles at 90% charge. Seems to be going up and down as it pleases but regardless what it shows, I seem to get about 100 miles per 40%. That doesn't seem...

What was your Wh/mi(km) consumption before and what is it after? did you see a change in that?

I usually get around 100 miles per 40% . What is your charging habits and also your lifetime consumption? I charge to 90% but I don't have access to home charging so I don't keep it plugged in. I usually drive until it is around 30% and then charge it up to 90% again. My lifetime consumption is...

When I first purchased my 2020 P3D- with 19inch wheels begining of November 2019, it showed 279 for 90% and 310 for 100%. It stayed likey that until I hit 500 miles and then I received an update which changed the EPA constant and made it dependent on the wheel size selection which dropped my...

I own a performance with 19ich wheels. I don't have access to charging at home. I don't use sentry mode when parked at home but I do use it everywhere else. When I drive short trips with highway/freeway and city driving mixed, I do get about 100 miles per 40% charge. I usually dont wait for it...

The range figures doesn't mean much since it is meant to be from 100% down to 0% on a straight drive without stops which is not realistic. I have a model 3 performance and I cannot charge at home. So for me it is very consistently 40% per 100 miles. I don't have sentry enabled at home but use it...

If you are driving everyday, it seems to drain more overnight when not plugged in. If you leave it for a longer period of time it drains less. It goes to a deeper sleep. I recently went on a trip and didn't drive for 15-16 days and it only drained around 4%. Last December went on a trip for 29...

Which wheels do you have? I have a 2020 stealth with almost same miles and mine shows 295 with 19inch wheels. Window sticker 304. So it's not too far off. With my 260Wh/mi constant, my nominal pack is around 76.5 kwh.

I know of 2 owners with early batch 2018 LRRWD vehicles with 130K miles that almost exclusively supercharge. They said no throttling when they are super charging. One of them claims he charges to 100% all the time through superchargers as well. They both have less then 10% degradation. One of...

Your vehicle's BMS calculates the available range based on the battery capacity it thinks the vehicle has and using the constant set by Tesla depending on your vehicle trim. So if you move the slider to get more rated miles, like you said you are charging it to a bigger percentage. So I don't...

I think the worst I have heard is 275-280 for performance 2020 with 20 inch wheels. And that's about 8% loss. Mine is 2020 performance with 19 inch wheels, 7 months old and around 4500 miles and shows 3% loss. My main difference like I mentioned before is, I don't have home charging so I don't...

I don't think you need to get it under 10% for regular use. 30% should be sufficient. If you can drive 2 days in a row without plugging in and that takes you down to somewhere 20-30%, that would be a good test to see if you reclaim any miles back instead of plugging in every night. So your...

Here is another model 3 LRRWD that has 100K miles. Rated range 290. So if you take 310 as the base for when he bought the car, it has around 7% loss. If you take 325 as the new base, he has around 11% loss. These are also first batch of Tesla model 3s hitting over 100K. So you would think the...

I am just hoping you are wrong and I am right. I don't want to belive there are unicorn battery packs out there and even if they are abused they still have less degradation compared to someone babying it. I just don't get how one owner with 130K miles charging to 100% almost daily through...

Not to reset the BMS, I meant to measure the real capacity. The numbers you see on the display is what BMS thinks your capacity is. It should be accurate when brand new and might get out of calibration when used and we might be thinking that's degradation. Check this article. It talks about the...

So your car only goes from 50-60% to 90% everyday and calculates capacity based on that. Did you ever try draining it below 10% and then charging it up to 100% to see if it makes any difference on the rated range?

That's exactly my point. Those rated miles are what the BMS thinks how much energy is left and not necessarily the actual capacity of the battery. With identical battery cells, on every model 3/Y it doesn't make sense there is that much difference on the capacity and degradation. And like I...

And what was the temperature internally before you started charging?

Was your HVAC off? Also was it a lower temperature before you started charging and it went up to 89? Charging has nothing to do with cabin temperature unless you are using HVAC to distribute it internally. Was it warm where the car was? When you say indoors, is it your home garage?

How long are you at work usually? Where do you park the car? Do you have cabin overheat protection turned on? When you say you check the app 4-5 times a day, is this when you are at work? That's a lot. You are preventing the car to go to deep sleep most likely. Do this, check if the cabin...

Both 2020 models with 18 inch wheels selected?

Is this a non stop drive for 14 miles or 14 miles total on multiple drives? What is your wh/mi consumption on those drives? Also did you try rebooting the car? It might not be going to sleep if there is something preventing it. Like are you checking it all the time through the app? What is the...

Your example is very extreme. If you get 100 miles at 100% you probably have more serious issues then degradation. I meant on a healthy pack it doesn't mean anything since that estimation will change with temperature, Tesla updates, and cell inbalance due to your charging habits. And depending...

My 2020 stealth performance showed 279 miles at 90% up until they have decided to change the constant and overnight it dropped to 264 miles. That was when it only had 500 miles. After 6 months I am now around 4500 miles and my 90% is at 265. This is with the 19 inch rims selected. This gives me...

Here is another owner that hit 130K in 2 years. Might be the highest milage model 3 out there Maiden Voyage: A Voyage Without Carbon on Twitter He has a LRRWD and according to him 98% of all his charging is done using SC network since his is always on the road. His 100 rated range sits at 303...
