Amarillo > Clayton > Trinidad > Monument > Breckenridge, I think I can also charge in CO springs, Denver and Silverthorne before Breckenridge. My problem is going to be charging in Breck, where there are no superchargers.

I am planning on driving my model 3 from Austin to Denver to Breckenridge CO on a ski trip. Looks like the Tesla route planner is taking us through Amarillo, Trinidad, Puablo, CO springs, Denver and to Breckenridge. In cold driving conditions does the model 3 accurately calculate charging times...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will be driving in wet/snowy condition and higher elevation. Austin TX to Denver CO, and better handling is higher priority over 2% or so efficiency that I might get. Looks like 45 psi is the max recommended pressure, and I could probably do ok at 42psi.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes my M3 has FSD, so I am counting on that making the Austin - salina - denver doable in one shot. I was considering staying the night in salina if we get too tired. This is my 1st trip to Denver in a non-ice and 1st road trip in a Tesla. Previously (2002-2008) we...

Model 3 LR Aero 2020. Plan on driving from Austin to Denver end of December a week before Christmas, and plan to do it non stop. I will have wife and 3 kids as passengers. Should I do the amarillo to trinidad route or should I drive up through kansas? I am a little nervous about the raton pass...

I am considering over inflating tires to 50lbs for an upcoming road trip from Austin to Denver. First, is there an advantage and will it get me better milage? Second, anyone done this road trip and had any issues with range etc? This will be my first long trip in the model 3.

Correction: My charge limit is set to 90% not 80% like I mentioned before. Sorry about that. Now the math makes more sense.

I have FSD and I had to toggle the switch under Autopilot to chime. It chimes sometimes and not all the time, especially if you are on the left turn lane waiting for signal to change green while the other lanes are already green, there is no chime. I thought this would work, and I got honked at...

I have set my charging limit to 80%, my car starts charging at 2AM (for best rate) and usually is done by 6AM (60A gen3), and my range usually displays along side the battery 272. I have the "let me know if the door is open feature" toggled so if the door was opened I think the car would have...

I just turned the climate from "auto" to "off" and the fan noise went away. I will update here if I still see the battery drain.

You might be on to something.. I just checked and there is some fan running, I can hear it when I get close to the windshield. Definitely some thing is running while it is parked ( I think asleep ).

The car was parked .. and since I posted the question the battery has drained from ~250 miles to 180miles .. there seems to be a rapid discharge of the battery. Does anyone else see this with the new firmware upate? This started to happen only after I upgraded the firmware to 2020.36 last night.

After installing the latest phone wear update I noticed that after my car charges fully to 80% (270mi) It loses charge and by noon it is at 250. Has anyone else noticed this type of battery drain after upgrading to the latest firmware??

It would be nice to have Tesla enable a voice command, "I am being pulled over", to use the cabin camera and other cameras to record the interaction with law enforcement.

I have had the Tesla only since Feb and the previous hands free experience I had was with Android Auto and Tesla's voice commands and phone integration really needs a lot of work. Rather than adding more useless games I wish they focus more on the user experience of this interface. Like vision...

I have a Pixel 4 from Google, and I did give it all the access when I paired the phone. Can someone explain to me why hands free text only captures 3 seconds, and if there is a pause it does not capture anything else. Also replying to group text do not work.

One of the basic features that has worked on pretty much any car these days is phone and text messaging. My previous car, Dodge had no problems placing calls, showing me the contact name of the caller, replying to text messages, reading me new messages etc. On the M3 the phone integration is...

It still takes me 10-15s to be able to use the touchscreen after I enter a sleeping car, the worst part is I have to click a few times on the garage opener icon for it to open the garage door.

I know someone who is 4.11 and has no problem, she is a realtor and drives a lot of miles.

I need to go look in if there is any dash cam capture of this happening, but was around 10pm on sat so I might still have that footage. Here is a google maps street view of the piece of the freeway, I had several "phantom braking" along this stretch where I had to step on the gas for it keep...

Because the breaking is sudden and unexpected, it's like slamming on the brakes, you have to experience it to know what our feels like. You have very little time to react.

FSD navigate on autopilot has dangerous breaking. 1. I enable the beta feature to stop at red lights and stop signs. I was on an elevated freeway that had lights and stop signs on the street below. The car decided to stop for red lights in the middle of the freeway where the speed limit is...

1. while navigate on AP, does it automatically take the exit? or do I have to engage it by turning on the blinkers? When I tried NV on AP it kept on going past the exit and did not exit automatically. 2. while on navigate on AP does it respond to traffic lights on the HWY ? We have a HWY that...

Wow they are super quick .. mobile service scheduled for Monday! .. it's corona time for me now..

I picked up my M3 on 3/9 and this afternoon I got a text message saying the following: "Hello, this is Tesla mobile service. We see there is a bulletin needing to be done to your vehicle in relation to the charge port. It requires replacement of 2 pins." What is a "bulletin" ? has any other...

Ok an article from zero hedge, enough said!

why does it say 911 on a Porsche anyways? what is the emergency?

It scared the bejesus out of me!!! Took delivery of my M3 with FSD yesterday, and took a long drive to lunch this afternoon, I was cruising down the freeway on FSD at 65mph and there it was .. it slammed on the breaks for no apparent reason! There was a large semi few cars behind me.. had he...

did you get the "delivery insurance" ??

Answering my own question.. After some research I found that if you hold down the button on the charge handle for 5 seconds the wall charger will reset and you will see the SSID advertised again. I was able to connect and complete the wall charger setup. Its now on wifi. I would have been cool...

I tried the wifi setup, and quickly lost wifi connection with the gen3, it does not display it's wifi network anymore. It does charge at 44mph, I have a 60amp breaker. Anyone here tried the wifi settings and ran into the same issue?

I picked up today at pond springs, it was pouring rain today so did a quick walk through. Did not find anything blaring obvious, but noticed that backup cam did not work. They took it in and the delivery guy said they unplugged and plugged in the battery and that fixed it. I had a homelink on...

Texas buyers. Bank wants title transfer guarantee doc

Just picked up the car, and found a few things not working already. The backup camera did not work and they were able to fix it on the spot by unplugging the battery and plugging it back in (as per the delivery guy). Voice control don't work at all, and cant login to spotify. Its raining like...

Vehicle financing is though, "delivery support specialist" has handed me over to the "local delivery" team.. I have never paid for something in full and had to wait for it .. excruciating! I picked a delivery date of 3/11 when I got the text.

For better or worse my credit union collected the tax on the full sale amount of the car and fees and added to the financed amount. You need to get a "Trade-in Annex" form from Tesla for the bank to subtract the trade-in price from the sale price in order for them to calculated the correct...

The Tesla advisor finally got back to me and said the car is in transit, it's on a train to TX, and will be shipped from a terminal in TX to Austin by truck. He said we are still on track to get them on or before 3/11. What will be really cool is if Tesla can allow us to track the car on google...

The CU I was dealing with has the best rates in town, 2.6% @72/mo. I happen to be the 2nd customer financing a Tesla through them this year, and their lending department had not caught up to the new rules. It is a little frustrating experience for me, but as long as they fix the extra taxes they...

My bank said they are funding my loan today, my Tesla Advisooor told me the car is still in CA. How long does it take for the car to get from CA to TX ? Anyone who taken delivery already know?

I made that mistake and held on to the offer because I did not like it. I was told by my tesla advisor to take the offer and click on submit and I can change the tradein later if I get something better from carmax. Also, the trade-in is valid only for 30days, if after 30days your car is valued...

After 6 days of back and forth, signing "wet" and electronic documents, I finally got the loan documents to sign. What I saw was yet another issue. The CUs traditionally don't do the title, but since we are on the hook for the Title for the M3, the bank needs to collect the title package and do...

Which branch in Austin did you use ?

The lender wants to have the registration package before they can wire the money. Tesla wont even provide a copy of a registration documents or sign any papers from the bank. So no 3 way agreement is possible at this time. The CU is talking to their lending department today is day #5 already and...

The issue here is, before Tesla would register the car and title it on our behalf, today they don't. They send you a packet and you have 30 days to register and title the car. The bank wants a letter of guarantee that they will have the title because they wire the full financed amount to Tesla...

My bank is asking for "transfer of title guarantee" document signed by Tesla. But Tesla is not titling the car, and the delivery advisor also said so. How have other Texans dealt with this?

oh really! is the acceleration boot an option on the LRAWD!!?? GAWD my $2000 gone already before the car is here. I still love my SRT 392 but the car has to go to make room for toddlers that are growing up fast and I tired of them kicking my seat non-stop, coz the back seats on the SRT is really...

I currently drive an 2016 SRT 392 500+HP and Torque (factory ordered new), I sit in traffic for about two hours each day and move at 10mph. So, when I ordered my M3 my thought process was.. how much is that performance going to be used by me? For me and my daily driving situation LRAWD was the...

Hmm ok.. thought you said LSD.. the regulators are going to make Tesla change it from "Full Self Driving" to something less s3xy and purely boring like PDA "Partial Driver Assistance"

Did anyone here experience a trade-in value drop after the 30days expired and they generated a MVPA ? My car dropped in value by 1k just a week after the 30days expired.

If you wanted more horsepower I would go with a blower instead.. stripes only add like 10HP.
