    Issues with 2020.48.30 update

    When I updated to 2020.48.30 (via the app), I was met with a blank screen when I went to the car. Doing the scroll wheel + brake reset once or twice got it working. One thing missing though--there are no upgrade notes. I assume they haven't changed since 48.26 anyway. The bigger problem is that...

    Will a 2mm offset difference for aftermarket wheels make a difference?

    I see that the Tsportline wheels for model 3 have an offset of 35mm, so more of a difference than the ones I ordered.

    Will a 2mm offset difference for aftermarket wheels make a difference?

    Great information! I love the Rim & Tire Size Calculator and I love what it says about my 2mm offset differential, "Almost no difference"!

    Will a 2mm offset difference for aftermarket wheels make a difference?

    Judging by the number of modifications you've made to your P3D+, you must know what you are talking about : ) I don't understand why people think additional poke looks better? I guess it's a young people's thing. I'm 74 so well past that stage--but not far enough past not to appreciate the...

    Will a 2mm offset difference for aftermarket wheels make a difference?

    Thanks. The discussion where I saw the 3% guideline wasn't clear exactly what they were referring to. I wasn't sure so thank you for setting me straight. I guess the 3% on tire diameter makes more sense--so a tire that is 26.3" like the Michelin X-ICE XI3S I have on order could safely go to 26.3...

    Will a 2mm offset difference for aftermarket wheels make a difference?

    OK. Thanks. I know 2mm is not much. However I've learned the danger of subjective analysis!

    Will a 2mm offset difference for aftermarket wheels make a difference?

    I just ordered 18x8.5 Storm Grey Enkei Tuning TS-5 and 235/45R18 Michelin X-Ice Xi3 from tirerack.com for my model 3 AWD as my winter tire/wheel set. With those wheels my choices were either, 18X8.5 with 38mm offset or 18X8 with 40mm offset. I liked the fact that the 18X8.5s were the same as...

    Does my wheel selection logic make sense?

    I've had the model 3 AWD with 18" wheels for 4 months and the handling is great. From what you've said, I think your choice should be clear. The 18" wheels are a clear advantage. I've done a lot of reading lately about the advantages of larger wheels and I can see only disadvantages. Even...

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    I don’t normally drive more than 20 miles in a day. Once a week for the rest of this fall I’ll drive about 60 miles. I started out limiting my charge to 80%. Recently I’ve reduced to 70%. After this trip I think I will reduce it once again, this time to 60%. I’ll probably charge a little higher...

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    Yes, but if you discover that wasn’t true after all in five years, it will be too late! My impression is that no one really knows for sure about these things. Although I am somewhat reassured by statements such as yours, the skeptic in me find’s it difficult to accept without reservation!

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    I forget how much I charged to at the supercharger near home. It was probably near 90%. I needed (wanted : ) to stop at two super chargers on the way to NYC. We stopped for the night at Lenox, MA but had to go 40 miles back to Williamstown the next day so first we drove 8 miles south to the Lee...

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    I’ve been parked in the parking garage for a week now. I’ve only lost roughly 2% or 6 miles. I took jjrandorin’s advice and turned off cabin overheat protection, avoided sentry mode and avoided checking on the car through the app. In spite of that, I have been in and out of the car numerous...

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    Actually, I won't. I was looking at the worst case scenario and being new to traveling outside my area I'm a bit of a wimp. I've been looking at the route again with A Better Route Planner and it looks like I can safely leave with an 80% charge. There were other variations of my route that...

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    Thank you for that. I had heard that sentry mode consumed considerable power but no idea it was that much! I won't turn it off or cabin overheat protection. Are there any other drawbacks to turning off data sharing? Will I still be able to use the app to check my charge level--OCCASIONALLY? : )

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    Thank you for your responses. My question was poorly phrased partly because I had originally meant to ask two questions, the one I actually asked and also concerns I have about leaving my car for about 10 days in a parking garage--how much charge can I expect to lose during that time. I need to...

    Better to charge from 70% to 100% at 120V or supercharger before trip

    I'm taking a trip in three days and will have to leave my model 3 awd in a parking garage for a week or more. I normally charge to 70% at home on 120V. Would it be better to slowly charge at home to 100% trying to time the charge so that it is complete just before leaving on the trip or would...

    Autopilot Called Out in NTSB Report on Tesla Crash into Fire Truck

    Something no one has mentioned is that beta software is rarely released into the wild even when the potential for doing harm is vastly less than is the case for Tesla's driver assisted features. I've had a model 3 for a few months and have experimented with self-steer and Traffic aware cruise...

    Absurd registration policy for self-registration state

    May I ask you what happened with this? I live in Vermont and my Model 3 was delivered on June 4th. Vermont doesn't prevent Tesla sales but I'm nearly four hours from the Tesla store in Dedham, MA so they deliver. This is the third day I've waited for a tracking number so, already, there's not...
