I'd love to see some pics of this in the Model 3, if you do get a chance.

Exactly!

I’m not very good at “pretty”; I’m sure these could be done nicer, but it’s close enough for me (c:

I went and did this, then went for a drive. Loads better! Need to figure out some minor tweaks for comfort where the thing ends, but I was driving around thinking "This is the best feeling of driving in over a decade"

My complaint about the seats is the side boosters. They press into my right thigh, aggravating an existing condition, and it hurts - especially over long drives. I'm pretty skinny/small, 30" waist, and fit pretty much right between them on the seat I was using a Purple Portable Seat Cushion...

After i posted that i noticed there was work being done on the building. Probably related. There’s more equipment in metal crates atop where I’d expect them to install superchargers tho. Wait and see!

Could this be supercharger stuff? I’m at another WC Wawa, down the pike - 1501 West Chester Pike, across from the Tesla store

I don't pretend to be an expert, I'm just relaying the advice given to me by someone with more experience than I have. As with any advice, it will vary from person to person. And since my need was pretty urgent and just 2 days before a major holiday, I didn't exactly have the opportunity to...

There's definitely an added expense setting them up, as you at least need a drain system for the condensation created by the heat pump, which would for many folks require a condensate pump. For someone like watts_up moving from gas, there may be an additional expense running 240V electric.

Honestly I think you're overthinking this. You shouldn't wait on the battery to precondition before driving, if it's gonna make you late for work. It's okay to drive it cold, just don't floor it on every road (c: I'd do this: Set your charge schedule as late as possible, while still ensuring...

I have electric water heater, and my old one started leaking a couple weeks ago and had to be replaced. I asked the plumber about the heat pump models, and he said they weren't worth it - they might save some money but there's added expense setting them up, and still not great on reliability...

Yup just drove past again and saw the telltale big shrink-wrapped supercharger box

There's a Wawa just off 202 on West Chester Pike that I think is the target... and when I drove past it the other day, a section of the parking lot was fenced off with a couple supplies parked there (nothing obviously Supercharger at the time)...

I'm too lazy to charge the car all the way up and see what the thing says, but TeslaMate has a Projected Range value though I'm not certain it comes directly from the car. It's had me in the 280-290 range since early November, before that it was upper 290s. I think the drop is weather related...

For what it's worth, I'm small (5'8, 130lbs) and the seat rubs against my thigh aggravating an existing condition. I've been sitting on a seat cushion to boost me a little up past it, but it's a little too squishy and doesn't give me a good solid "planted in the seat" feel. Might try one of...

I installed this one a couple years ago: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WQVMR2D I think it did help with wind noise (I do not have objective measurements...) and it did reduce - but far from eliminate - how much stuff gets into the door sills. I've never had a problem with it getting...

It's a steep enough hill I suppose; IDK the measurement. Our road comes to an intersection, and it's a bit of a "ramp" down to the connecting street. It sounds like the same thing to me, there's a sudden grade and maybe full stop is slightly miscalculated and it "slips". Tesla's been...

So far, no, not that I've noticed

Honestly this just sounds like the experience I'd expect from a GM Dealership, EV or otherwise EV market is still young and traditional dealerships don't know what they're doing. In a few years tho, there will be more choices both good and bad. I agree on the Model 2. I'd love a dual-motor...

I took it in, service center was maybe 40 minutes away (not great but tolerable). Car has been fine since, so far. At 1.5 hours, I imagine mobile service could do it

It looks like yes, the CCS adapter would take care of this situation for you - assuming your car is CCS Enabled, of course. A couple other options: - I see a couple Level 2 charging places in Dewitt, such as the town offices (Town of DeWitt Offices | PlugShare). If these are convenient enough...

Closing the loop here; Tesla Service lubricated and tightened some bolts on the rear axle and the sound went away.

Since the weather has been nice, I've been driving with the windows down and I'm hearing a prominent "click" when I press or release the accelerator. I'm guessing it's a power relay to the motor? Directly tied to pressing and releasing the pedal. It's not a continuous click-click-click, just...

These are valid points. Battery was not full; I charge to 80% It's just pavement there; there was no snow or rain nor is there typically gravel or similar (though I can't say 100% for sure what might have been there). This isn't a "No Regen at all" situation, but rather "regen was slowing me...

No it was a clear dry day, temp was probably mid-50s or so

The initial service tech didn't find anything obvious in the logs and has sent them up the line for a deeper analysis I can see the event in my TeslaMate logs, which helped narrow down the timestamp It's only happened a few times so it's hard to pinpoint a trigger, but it didn't happen before...

I’ve been using hold as long as I’ve had the car I think (December 2019). It’s always been fine. It never did this until this year, but to be fair we’ve only lived on this street since July. Pretty sure I’m hitting some bug or fringe scenario they didn’t think to test. But I guess it could be...

Hold. Also with standard regen (not low, or whatever the options are called)

I don't know what to call this; I tried searching and couldn't find anything similar. Thought I'd share in case it happens/ed to anyone else A few times now my 2020 Model 3 has stopped braking efforts just before reaching complete stop. The street I live on ends in a T intersection, and...

I hope they do. A common gripe I see throughout the forum is "X service center is Y hours away!". I think as Tesla's popularity continues to grow, having accessible showrooms and service will go a long way. For most brands of cars, there's a convenient dealership nearby, easy to go see them...

Hey all, was hoping for a local perspective. We're out in Chester County and seriously considering solar with battery backup (especially after yesterday's storm knocked our power out for the whole day!). Do any of you locals have experience with solar installations, Tesla or otherwise...

Thanks for the update! I don't exactly drive past that like I used to, but it's still much more convenient to me than Devon

Occasionally mine gets stuck with the loading wheel... Sometimes, hitting "back" with the wheel on the steering wheel kicks it to reload and work OK. Occasionally my solution is to switch to FM (suppose any other input would work) and then switch back. Minor annoyances tho; rarely has it...

I kinda dislike sliders for most things; it's difficult to be precise - even on your phone or computer when not moving. Sliders are great for scrubbing back/forth but should come with an additional control like +/- or a number box etc.

"Not Installed" 2020 Model 3 Dual Motor Manufactured December 2019 (for some reason I think it was on the 8th; I took delivery on the 17th)

Mine seems to remember my last setting; at least for me, I always use "Guidance" (map aligned with car) and it sticks.

I haven't had a lot of drive-time with it yet but first impressions: Overall, I like it (just a few things to get used to) but there were two things that jumped out at me that I don't like: - The +/- controls on fan speed are gone - it's just a slider, and those are tricky to manage while also...

I might be mis-remembering but I think recently I've had that warning appear not when I started driving but when I was using regen to brake. Kind of a "hey, okay I'm doing this, but it's not as good right now" note

Oh I'm sure you can find places closer to Kennet! Last year I took the opportunity to check out United Tire on Westtown Road in WC. They got the job done, I have no complaints, but intangibly something about them felt a little... gruff? IDK. I'm not saying I wouldn't go back. We moved to...

This may be a bad idea but figured I'd share it anyway and let you all weigh in (c: The Gen2 connectors have a dial inside to set the max amperage. If the intelligent sharing won't work between a Tesla-plug Gen 2 and a J1172 Gen2, would it be a valid configuration to have them both set to a...

Folks over in this thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/help-i-need-suggestions-for-solving-usb-device-malfunction-error.239605/ seem to think there's some recent software issues

IMHO the flashing lights only serve to bring more attention to the car, and not in a good way. It's been suggested that the flash is required by law to indicate that it's recording, but I don't know that as fact. I would turn the flashing off too given the option.

I had something similar happen recently. Using an SDXC card with a Sabrent USB adapter. The adapter had slots for both the SDXC card and an SD card. When plugging it into the Tesla, I also got "plug in only one device at a time". I'm wondering if it has anything to do with having more than...

I did a 5000-ish mile road trip back in April. I agree that some of the supercharger locations were less than ideal - one was behind a hotel, with nothing within reasonable walking distance (except across a very busy 4-lane road with no crosswalks), and the hotel even had a sign saying no...

I went with the LR/Dual Motor in part to save a little money, and in part because with the 18" Aero wheels there's better range / lower cost per mile. IMHO it's plenty peppy and fast, but I came from a little Subaru Impreza so almost anything is in comparison (c:

I haven't. Since the beginning of COVID I've worked from home and basically never leave the house - maybe 2 or 3 times a week tops. Figured I wouldn't be much of a contributor...

In late 2019 when I first got my Model 3, I installed a 14-50. It was a short cable run (less than 25') and I don't recall there being a significant cost difference between that and a 6-50. But we moved 2 months ago, so I had to do it all over again - with a longer run (65-70 feet) and the...

Just spotted this. Tesla moving into currently Jaguar dealership location in West Chester (Westtown). Route 3 @ 352 I literally just moved from a house less than a mile from here. https://www.mychesco.com/a/news/business/colliers-arranges-new-tesla-location-in-west-chester/

Saw one of these maybe 2 months ago at the Giant in Westtown, PA (Route 3)

I just moved from West Chester; I got my first inspection done at Curtis Automotive on West Chester Pike. Last time I got it at United Tire and Service on Westtown Road. Both handled it fine. I'm in Coatesville/East Fallowfield now so if anyone has any suggestions for ME, I'd appreciate it (c:
