    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    Yeah, it's probably something I've never noticed in any previous cars because of not seeing and interior number and probably also not caring.

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    Exactly. That was my point. When someone compared the two.

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    ohhhh so you think maybe that number isn't accurate... Yeah, that sounds more like it to me. I'll have to get a thermometer to test it.

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    I feel like house acs wouldn't run as non stop as a car ac would in this comparison. Does anyone live in these hot climates that can chime in so it's not just speculation?

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    I'm going to assume having it turned off in my question. but another question. Living in a hot climate like Florida or Arizona and having the ac running non stop, has anyone had it break? I'd assume having it running non stop for months at a time is not good for it?

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    Yeah, I was really surprised at the at the temp difference at 4pm... I wonder what temp it gets up to inside the car in Florida at the dead of summer when its 110 outside at 12 noon. ? Anyone know that?

    I'm very interested in hearing how this turns out. I wonder if that kid got fired. Leading to his downward sprial into a world of crime.

    Car Parked Outside temp 68f / Inside 98f. Normal?

    Hi, My car is parked and I looked at the Tesla app and it says its 68f outside and 98f inside. 4pm. Windows up. I don't have any tinting. Black interior. Is that normal? Thanks

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    Yeah I'm in NJ. I've never heard of USAA, I'll have to look into it.. yeah.. I've really been dropping the ball on looking into other insurance companies since I've been with Geico for so long.

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    Besides time investment. The main model that's used for our car is much more detailed then the other gray car models. So if the hardware showed multiple teslas with the detail of our main model there's a chance it could lag the system or cause problems when there are multiple teslas on the...

    Solar Roof on Model 3?

    I still like the idea though to help offset vampire drain but..... It's not ready for prime-time. Maybe one day when we can make all the windows transparent solar panels and the car body opaque solar panels. Even with that though the cost is probably not worth it. until it is.

    Solar Roof on Model 3?

    I personally love the idea of a solar roof when we can have a clear solar panels so I can still see through the window because I need either a sun roof or a see through roof. Most people on this site how ever will tell you it's a bad idea because the panel doesn't charge the car enough to make...

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    If you feel like searching for it this Youtube channel called "Out of spec motoring" has a few youtube videos about this guy that has a business in Colorado that repairs broken Teslas. He has a few videos on how he repairs Tesla Roadsters that I bet your husband / father would like. It might...

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    Yeah, I figured that was it. It's deff a different mentality but most products are going in that direction anyway. Replace rather than repair. You know one time we actually used to repair broken TVs and Radios ;) instead of just buying new ones.

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    I imagine it isn't so much as its too complicated its that plumbers and mechanics who like to know how to fix things don't like not knowing how to fix a thing. So they're uncomfortable with it. (my uncle is also a mechanic)

    Advice Needed: Convincing Husband to Go Tesla

    Show him the graphic on this page. Tesla is working on new battery that lasts 1 million miles to come out next year, says Elon Musk - Electrek The wheels have motors that spin them instead of having an engine in the front or back of the car. But this motor isn't as repairable as a normal ICE...

    How to view event in Sentry Mode that occurred at 2 am

    sentry mode saves files with the mode gets triggered by someone walking into view. So it will only have videos for those times. (other then videos in a recent folder).

    How to view event in Sentry Mode that occurred at 2 am

    go to your mobile device App Store and search for an app that does it. Like 'Dash View"

    I’ll get roasted but here goes anyway

    because with the fob it auto unlocks the car unlike the card.

    model 3 dual motor long range/range

    It's probably do to speeds. higher speeds have lower efficiency. Your city driving is probably a lot lower speeds avg.

    I think I just wasted $7,000 on FSD?

    It not that it's very difficult but just taping the turn signal and having the car do it automatically is pretty damn cool. I will say though... it is damn annoying if after you tap it and the car starts switching lanes but then it thinks it sees a car speeding up in the lane you're switching...

    model 3 dual motor long range/range

    pretty much. Maybe the OP is a new Tesla owner and doesn't know this.

    model 3 dual motor long range/range

    320 wh/mile is high. I'm guessing you are doing things that reduce the efficiency. Like, using the hvac, having a cold battery, driving fast over 65/mph, driving against strong winds, using seat heaters. You should be seeing more around 250 wh/mile. I'm sure everyone already mentioned this.

    Service center experience: trading my 3 in for a Mercedes

    Fun fact. at 2.45/gallon of gas driving a 32mpg ICE car would cost $30,625 to drive 400k miles

    Former muscle car owner - thoughts and opinions

    You have a lot of nice input. I agree with everything you wrote 100%. After getting the 3 every time I see a muscle car making a ton of noise but going like 40mph I laugh..

    Summon Failure?

    Best Car Insurance for New Model 3?

    I had to up my deductible to 1k and change stuff around a bit with GEICO to get it more reasonable... I think I'm at around 180 a month

    Service center experience: trading my 3 in for a Mercedes

    Yeah, I'm very curious if you're going to get another Tesla in 2 years.. I would love to know what you do when it comes that time. Teslas target customer is going to be everyone not just people that buy high end cars. So, I don't think the service will ever match more premium car companies...

    Model 3 Heater Blows Cold Air

    The heating system is the biggest thing that I don't like about my 3. I HATE that it blows cold air after reaching the set temp vs lowering to a slow speed of hot air. The solution I use is to leave it on HI but have it set to 1. That usually is enough to keep the temps inside nice without the...

    Model 3: Hitch Installation

    There is one that came out in the UK. Our cars have a flap in the back that you can remove and plug in the hitch... I've been thinking about trying to buy the UK one and see how it goes but I was hoping it would come out for the US.

    Service center experience: trading my 3 in for a Mercedes

    I agree with a lot of what you said. Tesla gets away with a lot such as poorer customer service and poorer overall vehicle quality vs a luxury car and the reason Tesla can do it is because their cars are so damn good and amazing overall. So while there are problems people are generally ok with...

    Why does my Model 3 use significantly less energy in self-driving mode?

    And what's the point of ignoring them?
  44. F

    Why does my Model 3 use significantly less energy in self-driving mode?

    Not true because faster speed would use more energy unites than slower speed. Much like how driving 75mph uses more than 60mph.

    Why does my Model 3 use significantly less energy in self-driving mode?

    Just look at the big green regen bar when going down a big hill... don't need to over think this.

    Unlock delay with iPhone?

    My car never unlocks if my phone is in my back pocket. I always have to take it out of the pocket and then the car unlocks. I'm not sure if that's normal but it seems to be how it works for me.

    3rd party Heads up Displays

    Besides getting used to looking at the center screen for the speed... once you start using autopilot all the time you'll realize you never have to look at the speed anyway

    Phantom braking is the biggest issue with AutoPilot.
