    M3P total dollars spend on charging during first ~47K miles

    I'm turning in my M3P lease in a week or two (well, that's the plan at least), so I tallied up my charging costs since vehicle deliver in December 2019. Background is that I have a free L2 charger at my office, so that covers the bulk of my weekday needs. I don't have a charger at home, so I...

    Driver door won't latch

    Driver door won't latch since last night. This happened once before, but it corrected itself quickly. Car had been sitting in garage for the past few days. Other perhaps unrelated symptom is that the front left steering mechanism is making very squeaky noises for the past week. I made a...

    In praise of leasing the Model 3

    Leasing is generally not a financially-optimal strategy, but I really love the "perqs" of leasing, which basically all boil down to not caring about the long-term performance of the car. The benefits are: 1. Known / guaranteed financial cost over 3 years, and no need to have to deal with...

Anyway, the weather has been getting warmer where I live, and I've been looking forward to being able to finally have some full regenerative braking capability. However, as shown in this photo, even during...

    How/where do I pay my monthly lease payment?

    Took delivery 18 days ago. I paid something like $100 on the order website just prior to delivery, paid nothing during delivery, and now am wondering where I find my monthly lease invoice? It's odd to me that I haven't even had to make the first lease payment yet. Thanks!

    For leased TM3P, always charge to full, right?

    I've had my car a few weeks, and per the delivery tutorial recommendation, I set my charging ceiling at about 80%. But now I'm thinking, I lease the car, so I don't car about battery degradation, so I should just be charging to 100% each time. Any downside for me in doing this?

    Tesla 3 Performance delivery experience from earlier today (not good)

    Took delivery of car at scheduled 11am appointment this morning, a 2-hour drive from my house. This was 9 days delayed, because the dealership canceled the original appointment on the 18th due to a paint blemish. They contacted me yesterday and said they don't have time to fix the blemish...
