    Tesla model 3 awd lr only getting 286 miles of range at 100% charge

    Hmmm my 8/2018 build LR RWD with 30,968m has been creeping up as the summer hits here in CT. I am showing 281 at 90% and estimated 312 at 100%. I got it used so I have no idea if it ever saw the 325 bump but I’m impressed with the battery so far.

    Long term(ish) Model 3 owners, how reliable has the car been to you?

    I bought a 8/2018 build used LR RWD with 25k miles in Dec of last year. My first EV ever and bought it without ever having driven a Tesla. Hadn’t had any issues at all but then a few weeks ago my rear drive unit went out fully and the car went dead on the highway. Preceding the unit failing I...

    Yikes! Error Message: Unable to Drive/Pull Over Safely

    I had come across posts about AWD having the same situation I was in as I searched my error messages. I’m guessing, like me, it just has to be some bad luck with AWD which drivetrain goes, so they are not 100% immune. However, it seems very uncommon vs all those that are on the road doing fine.

    Yikes! Error Message: Unable to Drive/Pull Over Safely

    Wow what horrendous luck Day 1! I have def been finding lots of posts on the failures that echo mine. Of course not a huge % compared to those that are working fine out there. Still sucks to be the minority to exp it. How has yours been since? I couldn’t help but notice mine also failed...

    Yikes! Error Message: Unable to Drive/Pull Over Safely

    Thanks for the info on the codes, anyone know how common the drive unit failing is? If they replace it I’m just hoping to instill some confidence back.

    Was this AEB (Auto Emerg Braking)?

    thanks I found out it wasn’t EBA or OAA as my car broke down on the highway yesterday. From the error message codes someone says most likely my drive unit has failed.

    Yikes! Error Message: Unable to Drive/Pull Over Safely

    So had my first big issue with my used Model 3 today, unfortunately on a highway. Preface this by saying I noticed 3x in the last 3 days when I hit the accelerator the car abruptly buckled as if it was hard braking. I had initially thought this was the Emergency Brake Assist having a false...

    "Lane Keep Assist" - Telsa vs. Subaru Eyesight (My experience)

    I had posted something involving what I believed to be AEB that happened a dsy ago. What made my situation a little weirder was I was actively hitting the accelerator when the brakes were suddenly depressed as I was trying to maneuver around a super slow turner. At first the jolt made me think...

    Was this AEB (Auto Emerg Braking)?

    So today I was behind a car that had a green arrow for a left turn and holy hell they were snailing the turn so slowly. I was annoyed and I gunned it to get around the car to continue straight their car was halfway-ish out of the lane. My car suddenly hit the brakes which was an odd sensation...

    Rear Window Visibility

    Have to strongly agree the rear visibility of the Y is even worse than my 3 which I thought was kinda eh. Definitely the worst blind spot monitoring of any car I’ve had in the last 8 years. Don’t get me wrong I do love my 3 but would be amazing if it had simple lights on the mirrors as I...

    Model 3 Range decreased again...

    Odd I have a 2018 LR RWD with 29,160m purchased used last Dec so unsure if it ever saw the 325m bump. I’m getting 280m at 90% and between 310-312m at 100% depending on the outside temp.

    Trade in 3 for Y?

    I am interested to see what they will offer on my 18' LR RWD with 28.8k miles and EAP in Metallic Silver. I have so many extras though like two sets of nice like new tires, maxpider all weather mats, wireless charge mat, oem tire repair kit, aero cap kit, professional tints done,etc. Does any...

    Thanks for the honest input! I guess I will have to wait until I can sit in one and compare with my model 3 vs ordering sigh unseen.

    Quick Notes on Y, Post-Delivery

    Thanks for the input on the Y. One question I wanted to ask any Y owners was on rear visibility. Is it noticeably worse than the model 3, which for me was the worst rear visibility I’ve had on a car (I’ve adjusted but still pretty limited). I know you can throw on the rear cam but if mapping...

    Home charger options

    As far as I've seen (when people filed this year for last years installs) they were putting the total that included everything, yes. There wasn't anything itemized that was needed, I guess the IRS could dig deeper if they wanted but doubtful. Others advised if you were getting say a 14-50...

    Tesla model 3 awd lr only getting 286 miles of range at 100% charge

    For ref my 2018 LR RWD with 28,809m gets 310m at 100%. I bought it used so unsure if it ever saw the 325m bump but I have seen it calculate up to 312m at 100% as well.

    HW3.0 for EAP Owners?

    I have EAP it would be nice if they offered the $2k upgrade to FSD again someday, I know we'd never get HW3 for free but $2k was reasonable.

    was expecting no tint

    when I got my 2018 Model 3 (side windows) tinted they mentioned they came stock with a very slight tint, not sure on the exact % possibly what was mentioned above 97%.

    Service center experience: trading my 3 in for a Mercedes

    Sorry to hear of your crappy exp with your local SC. Mine has been good so far for the few issues I've had, I guess it's just the luck of the draw unfortunately. For anyone buying a Tesla I think it's super important to know what you're looking at if things go wrong. For as amazing as the...

    M3 first impressions and advice needed

    I own a 3 but personally in your case I would wait until the Y's start rolling out to make sure the 3 is best for you. The next few months will see a lot of direct reviews/experiences on the Y and also the used market on the 3 will grow. By waiting you might also get a nice deal on a lightly...

    Battery drain overnight with latest V10 update

    Just in case anyone is doing this, take out any usb sticks in the front slots ie like for music. I found that when I left my music usb flash stick in the front port that my phantom drain was worse. I'm unsure if this is just coincidence but thought I'd mention it as I saw the stick lit up when...

    looking to buy a used 2019 model 3 LR RWD

    If you click through the pictures, I think under "hot spots" it says Auto Pilot FSD in one of the photos vs just AP that I've seen listed in the pics like that on other Tesla Carvana listings. Looks like it has fully sold though so you cannot access the info anylonger but it definitely had FSD.

    Just bought a New 2018 LR RWD from Tesla

    Nice congrats, is a bit odd a 2018 is selling as new but if it's legit then great find. I have a LR RWD myself, what color is it? Also what rated range are they advertising on it, 310m or 325m?

    looking to buy a used 2019 model 3 LR RWD

    I totally hear you, truly do, as I could have been patient myself. I had lost out on 3 other metallic silver Model 3's so I was definitely a bit trigger happy when I finally purchased mine. The EAP for me was a perfect balance between AP and FSD so that was also another point that pushed me...

    looking to buy a used 2019 model 3 LR RWD

    I purchased a used metallic silver 2018 LR RWD two months ago with 25k miles on it and EAP for a little under that price, silver being discontinued did play a bit into my decision. I personally would wait until Model Y begins rolling out and I believe the Model 3 used market will have more...

    LR RWD Battery Capacity Winter

    Thanks guys, I kinda knew I had no shot at the 325m advertised range but thought I'd check in case there was some magical thing about the Spring/Summer months and the battery.

    LR RWD Battery Capacity Winter

    Thanks I was a little bummed that I wasn't seeing anywhere near 325m but I know it's merely a calculation. The car is a 2018 and had 25k miles on it, so it was definitely broken in/cycled. I know that 325m range is a bit of a unicorn seeing many LR RWD owners who saw it briefly and then went...

    LR RWD Battery Capacity Winter

    Hi, just a quick question, I got a used LR RWD last Dec., and being winter my 100% capacity has been 307, can I assume that in the warmer months this 100% capacity will go up? The car was advertised as having the 325m range but clearly doesn't seem to be anywhere near that, unless winter temps...

    POLL: Aero Wheels - On or Off

    I thought I’d hate the Aeros and when I finally saw the car in person I really dug them. I think it has a lot to do with the contrast with the silver and I swear my Aeros seem much darker than pics I’ve seen.

    convince me why i should keep my model 3 order and not get a model y

    I'm waiting to see how the Y is in real-world terms with efficiency. I wonder how much better the smaller 3 will be in terms of range. I have the LR RWD so the 325m range is king for me, but the Y is kinda cool for bigger families. I'm kinda torn on the back end of it though.

    Tesla makes electricians see $$

    I agree they seem to bump up the estimates when they hear TESLA. I thought about pretending I needed it for something else but the 30% tax credit back (they extended to 12/2020) I’m assuming will need an invoice/receipt that shows it was an EV charger? link with more info on the 30% back (up...
