Exactly what he said.

Whoops. Wide load.

I had this not so edge case happen to me today. What should it do for a wife load coming from the opposite direction? I passed the escort car and then disengaged FSD as I could see the load was in my lane (2 lane highway). As we were both moving at 60mph in opposite directions I did want to...

Yes. Multiple times today.

10.4 I drove from Charleston, WV to Athens, OH this morning. 1. Still gives a random left blinker leaving my neighborhood. Same spot everytime. 2. Exceeded 80mph on I-77 and got the red steering wheel of death. 3. Making an unprotected left it turn in front of a car making a right turn...

This is my experience, as well. I live in WV and the shortest route in and out of my neighborhood has a acute turn on a hill. It fails turning up it and down it.

I got FSD beta last night. I waited for it to stop raining and went for a ride during my lunch hour. Does anyone have a suggest for Autopilot setting to get the best results? Such as chill acceleration combined with chill, Average, assertive? Speed offset settings. I’m thinking of setting...

I hit the 99 on 10/30 and got the update after 12am est on 11/3. Just got back from my first drive.

The only phantom braking I experience is when a car is merging from an on ramp.

If you live in a hilly neighborhood I think the safety score is discriminatory. 😂. I got a bad hard breaking score driving just leaving my neighborhood. The hills are steep enough that one pedal will not stop the car. I guess I’ll have to drive more miles to offset that.

What about those people that don’t like their headlight use to be mandated?

I changed my filters this weekend on my model 3 with 30k miles on it. I used a FrostKing product to clean the coils and not the koolit product. It didn’t smell after. We will see how long it takes to return. Changing that filter is kind of painful. It took me less than a minute to change...

If you are actively traveling and not touring (staying at the same place multiple nights) the super chargers along I-95 and I-75 are not busy from 11pm to 6am. Moving over one spot will disguise you and you won’t be blocking chargers. It is hard to beat a camp site with power and showers...

My family actually prefers the airport location after charging at Hardeeville twice. The whole transition from ga to sc going from 6 lanes to 4 lanes, congestion, dirty rest rooms, etc sucks.

29,918 in 18 months. I work from home. What can I say. I love driving this car.

I’ll stand corrected. What I’ve read is Tesla is removing it when the cars are sold at auction and the buying dealer advertises the car with FSD at resale.

Deleted post.

I think it depends on what your trip route is and what you will be doing. If you are going to be in remote sections in the western US where your be a hour plus from a battery and/or you plan on camping in the car and using the 12 volt battery to run the climate control fan I might consider...

As a person that hates writing release notes they probably do what I do....Release Notes - Not Required or my favorite “bug fixes”

I’ll add that I use a Tervis. Does this ice melt, yes.

This is how I feel too. I would like brushed aluminum too.

I can’t wait until the hydro flask fad is over. My teenage daughters use them and the roll around on the car floor. Adapters pop up on in my IG stream from time to time. Since I know it’s a fad I don’t want to buy an adapter. Ha.

I suspect you married an accountant/auditor and once the routine was established it can’t be changed. 😂 But as you established in your original post the car really isn’t the solution to your problem. You are not too far away from weeknight little league games, dance recitals, soccer...

On thanksgiving weekend 2019 I waited about a minute at a supercharger in Charlotte, nc. Then thanksgiving weekend 2020 people were waiting after I started charging at the new v3 charger in Hardeeville, SC. I have also planned my trip to skip either charger as there are multiple option now...

I guess this speaks to the quality of a father I am... I would change my kids bedtime.

Ouch. Sorry that happen.

I have only had mine on the car for about two weeks. They are as quiet if not more quiet than the stock tires. They handle great especially in the wet. I’ve only had light snow but they climbed snow covered hills with zero issues. Efficiency is still unknown. I did a 15 mile trip out and...

Sportback instead of a trunk. Ski pass through too.

This is what I carry in my car but haven’t had to use them on my 18” aero wheels. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Z-6-Compact-Cable-Tire-Snow-Chain-Set-for-Cars-Trucks-and-SUVs-SZ139/46378851?comm-msg-vehicle=EMAIL&comm-msg-id=fa26361e-eab5-41e6-86d6-2f01dcee307b I’ll say as everyone else...

I hope this is online in 3 weeks. This will negate the need to backtrack to Rawlings or L2 in Craig to make it to Rock Springs in cold/snowy conditions.

The campground was on my radar. It will be pretty late in the day but I can nap for an hour. I have done a 198 mile stretch from charleston wv to Washington PA and 212 mile stretch from sanibel island to Deltona fl. But the model 3 hates cold weather and I’ll have new all weather tires by...

Mt Vernon IL to Louisville Ky - I64 Has anyone made this hop in cold weather in an dual motor model 3? What speed, temp settings, and soc does it take to get there without worry. I know Kyle from out of spec has done it several times but videos are short on details. Speed and climate...

Have you done it in sub 20F degree weather? What model Tesla? What speed?

I live in a hilly state that gets all four seasons. We are in ....... season right now. My average efficiency day to day is mid 300s wh/m. But the car loves Florida. When we go there the car is crazy efficient comparatively. Low 200s wh/m.

Has anyone noticed that the Hardeeville, SC new v3 supercharger is slow. I stopped at it twice last week and it never charged faster that 115kw. I used the same pedestal both times. I was down to around 10% soc both times. The station was full with cars lined up to charge this Saturday with...

If it was just me on the trip I would suck it up, because I was the one the decided to lead and embrace BEV travel. Once I’m in the car 1000 miles from home with my wife and children it becomes a different reality.

everything is a compromise. Size matters with this application first. It’s a day cooler.

I like to road trip and I like snacks. With a family of four the interior room is at a premium. I found this soft sided cooler that fits in the back footwell below the rear vents. I can’t speak to how long it keeps ice, yet. I have Tesla Model 3 money not Yeti cooler money. CANWAY Cooler...

I’ve had this happen to me once. I-79N in WV. Completely empty road early Saturday morning. I was cut off by a lifted diesel Dodge Ram. It was completely on purpose. There is one thing there isn’t a shortage of in this world - jerks.

If GM delivers what it’s advertising in a timely fashion Tesla will be returning lots of cybertruck deposits. I think.

I say towing is more about stopping than it is about going. The brakes on a model 3 already feel challenged to stop the 4000 plus pounds on its own. Even though the trailer has electric brakes a portion of the trailer weight is transferred to the car to stop. Not to mention the weight...

I had this happen to be yesterday with a car merging into the freeway. I couldn’t get over to let him in and it is on him to modulated his speed to get in front of me or behind me.

What year and trim?

I have one ssd hooked up and it is only doing sentry mode. I’ve power cycled the drive and rebooted the car. No change.

what he said. The male end will depend on how old the outlet is. I misspoke above I made my extension cord with a 10-30 male end.

I use a dryer outlet at our camp and at my parent’s house. Tesla was out of the 14-30 pigtail for the mobile connector when I needed it so I did the unthinkable and made a 40ft extension cord out of 10/3 soow with a 14-30 male end and a 14-50 female end. Then I just used my 14-50 pigtail that...

[email protected] who knows if my email prompted the fix but it did get fixed. I’m sure maintaining the network is keeps them busy.

Proof that an email will fix a supercharger. They might not respond but the pedestal will get serviced.

The model 3 puts the front motor into an inefficient state to prepare the battery for super charging or preheat the battery. It can’t heat the battery unless the car is in motion. The best thing you can do is to try to end your nightly charging session as close to departure as possible and...

We have one rule with teen drivers we try to enforce. You are not allowed to ride with a teen driver and you are not allowed to drive other teens accept for sibling. It was easy to enforce with the oldest but the youngest we allowed to ride with teens we knew to XC practice only. I can...
