In my 21 M3LR I would immediately get to 250kw (or150kw) if I rolled in at 10-15% AND had the car precondition the battery. By the time I got back to the car 10 minutes later it was already well above 50% and was throttling back to complete the required charge for the next SC destination.

I found the Energy screen to be the most useful on my cross country trip in September. I had Nav set to my 'final' destination so the SCs were all in the queue. The Energy 'Trip' screen was what I checked most to reassure that I was on nominal consumption rate to the next SC. Never cared about...

Citation please. Did they register and collect tax on the vehicle? I'll bet they did. Your comment is typical rhetoric and narrative. Give citation that California does not consider the car 'road legal'.

Why? Are there any instances of DMVs in states other than Crazy Cali flunking people taking driving tests in Teslas?

M3 and MY do not need calibration as the cameras are self calibrating according to Tesla. Safelight can't get the glass and/or Tesla wants to be paid up front for the parts. that's most likely the issue Safelight has with Tesla. I had my work done at Tesla sooner than Safelight could have got...

And I charge mine when it drops to 40% ish back to 80%. i use the Mobile connector in my garage 240VAC outlet. I also drove it Coast to Coast exclusively with Supercharger starting SOC in the 7-10% range up to 75% to 90%. That trip was around 900 miles per day and nothing but Supercharging...

Your USB Ports are here.

Yes it does read that way. If you are serious about expanding your business you would have already considered the charge infrastructure needed to support it. As someone else has already suggested, spent the money for a bank of Wall connectors and upgrade your electrical service to handle the...

Until you have to deal with their 'service' network and Kia corporate. My first and probably last experience with Kia was a service nightmare turned legal issue. I sold my Kia Stinger 3.3T and got an M3 AWD LR. Faster car and much less stress.

Why not have the cyclops light flash during regen like they do on F1 race cars? I've never actually studied the brake light icons on the car on the display to see how often they come on during driving. I always drive one pedal and only use the brakes if necessary.

i didn't go with Tesla, but where I live (las Vegas) 'pigeon guards' are standard and usu. included in the price. I made sure all the installer quotes I got included them.

"Unknown Key" is the default name for a key. Go into the key screen and rename it. The second key that does not work is defective. Tesla should replace it or buy a new key pack of 2 from Tesla for $35 US

you only need one active existing card. It takes less than 30 seconds. Go to the locks screen and follow the add a key instructions on the screen. BOOM! done

My GF had a 07 SL550 and a 73 450sl before that. Got my hands plenty dirty on both of them. Over engineered German POSs I used to call them but both were the epitome of luxury and sport in their time. Loved to drive both of them esp the 550. I had a Kia Stinger with the Lambda V6 twin turbo...

Don't worry, the folks in DC told us inflation and the supply chain issues are 'transitory'.

I understand. I have noticed there are a few on this board that fit that description. I simply ignore them. it's a waste of time trying to discuss issues with their uncompromising 'liberalism'. I can only speak for my own reasons for EV and rooftop solar adoption. I live in a place that has...

I live in a 'mostly conservative' neighborhood and people know that if they give any of us trouble over our EVs and rooftop solar they might just get shot. Plus, they all know we can out run any of their slow assed Mopar POS's so they can't escape the wrath. The whole, 'only liberals own...

That's actually the concept mockup for the unreleased amphibious model

I know, right? especially with everyone driving on the wrong side of the road too! ;-)

As Darmie said, contact any of the number of independent people that fill/repair glass cracks with epoxy material. When i got the rock in my windshield on vacation and it left a baseball size circular fracture in my windshield, I got a local guy (in Texas irinically) to stabilize the broken...

i place a windshield claim last month with both Safelight, from my insurance claim site, and Tesla directly. Safelight gave me a 6 week delivery timeframe for windshield and Tesla ordered and had the windshield within week or so. I went with Tesla as a result. Point is Safelight did not...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the entry level Beta test for exactly that....fleet management. Which would step right into the autonomous long haul trucking concept. If the .gov was thinking (doubtful), they would be putting tons of money for interstate highway modifications/expansion to...

That's why you make the deal. Same reason many here place the order to get in ahead of the next price increase. How many on this board have tried to arbitrage their reservations?

And have supercharging billed to their account?

100000 cars over a 2 yr delivery period is 12500 cars per quarter. Tesla is currently delivering 200000 per quarter. Current production rate increase looks to be somewhere between 5% and 10% per quarter. So Hertz deliveries would be 6.25% of current capacity. With Austin coming on line, they...

I just travelled from Las Vegas to Jacksonville, FL, then Myrtle Beach SC and back. The charge rates at most SCs were $0.29 per kw as I remember. Bonus was Amarillo Supercharger was FREE.....

Plenty of YouTube on that too. Make sure your surface is clean, I used isopropyl alcohol. A little heat from a blow dryer makes the vinyl more pliable. Trim the edges gently and don't press to hard. I used a single.edge razor because I find I have more control than an exacto. If you mess it...

probably waiting for inspections. My rooftop solar was fully a month between install and going live. based on the pics of the install on 9/25 and depending on when they called for inspection, it could be any day now to light it up.

There are several Youtube videos about removal of the dash which is pretty straightforward and the same as older models. the door trim was the mystery for me, but SoCalMoose's technique worked like a charm.

It depends on where you are going. As another poster said, you're never very far from a SC. I spent 10 days at my condo in Myrtle Beach without anywhere to plug in because it's a high rise. I used the Supercharger at the Grand Coastal mall while I was there. In fairness, I researched that...

I just travelled from Nevada to Florida to S. Carolina and back with nothing but the Mobile Connector and J1772 and never used either of them. I was more concerned with packing a squeegee and spray bottle of washer fluid to clean the windshield at Superchargers. We did pick up a rock that put...

My sister lives in Mooresville and it is not a small town. I know exactly where the Lowes is and will probably get heavy use from highway as well as local traffic.

Fixed it for ya

We offshored all the dirty manufacturing to China in part because of EPA regulations here, but then we complain when parts for our consumption come from there.

I have never put my M3 in Creep mode. I have re-educated myself for Regen and single pedal driving. Now if I could break myself of the habit of turning on the turn signal in my ICE vehicles when I want to back up. LOL

The 'smart' people making these laws are only in politics because they can't do anything else. The problem is they are grifters that can get enough lemmings to buy into their narrative. They convince people they care about everyone when in reality they only care about themselves and keeping...

So when the underserved are left without jobs it's racism but when they get hired it's Exploitation? You obviously make no apologies for your hypocrisy.

Oh, you mean the small independently owned and operated middle class businesses that hire thousand's of lower wage unskilled workers? California laws would NEVER hurt small business, the little people or the underserved...would they?

I have just experienced the same issue. I installed the App upgrade (4.1.1-667) yesterday and my phone key is not working until I use the card key. Then I can see the phone in the key app. Walk away locks will work, but if I return to the car it is inconsistent as to whether the phone will...

Wouldn't a reboot solve the problem if it is just a matter of reloading the software?

I'll keep an eye on this as I am having my windshield replaced Thursday by Tesla. Thanks for the heads up.

I agree with your assessment. I think both the lights and wipers are poorly programmed. I have a May21 M3 so at mine is a Tesla Vision car. i believe the headlights and wipers (to a lesser degree) are set up to accommodate the camera vision in the darker environment. My assumption is that...

So are we saying front to back same side is OK on a Dual Motor M3? or should I be crossing the fronts to the back, which would be trickier given the whole side of the car lifts from a single jack point. Ooops...never mind I just watched a YouTube video that shows how to do the crossed front...

I had to use the key card on my very first 'long' trip as we were out in East Overshoe and the phone drained and shut down. Since then I never leave the car with just my phone. I carry a keycard in my wallet.

So for how long do you need to plug in to have the visit to 'officially' recognized for this game?

I just did a 5k+mile trip from Vegas to Jacksonville, FL & Myrtle Beach, SC and back and hit 26 SC's. Some of them twice. Travel was mostly on Sat and Sun and was pleasantly surprised to never have waited for a stall. For the most part the SC's were less than 50% capacity.

Hey, they're moving the HQ to Texas, so why not! With matching floor mats.

I ordered the white interior and the wood is replaced with brilliant white with white accents in the door panels. The white is soooo bright it renders the side view mirrors useless on a sunny day. First order of business was to replace the white with carbon fiber vinyl. I haver gotten several...
