If it's your secondary car, run it into the ground IMO.

Thanks for the replies everyone! That's very helpful, thank you! Looks like I won't need the extra height of highest lifting one to clear a jack stand. The car doesn't go far off level either. Wish I could get a locking jack near me, that would be the easiest. The shipping fees to Norway are...

For changing tires it's fine, but I'm going to be poking inside the wheel arches to maintain the brakes and to fit an anti rust kit, and I'd like that corner to be on stands then. But I don't want to get the big, expensive jack stands just for that. I did qualify it with "...that will do the...

I'll allow myself jacking this up to the top once, to catch the attention of any knowledgeable lifters out there.

Getting a floor jack, trying to find the lowest price and size that will do the job well. I want to lift high enough at one jack point so I can put a (low) jack stand under the other point, jack pad included. Options range from 20" / 510 mm lift (big, pricey) to 14" / 360 mm (cheaper, smaller...

Got my ODB2 connector and had a quick look at some LG 82 kWh data. What say ye O' Battery Whisperers? Can I expect the numbers to go up a bit? Not even past 200 km yet. By the way, is there a security risk in leaving the bluetooth dongle connected? Could someone in theory unlock the car with ODB...

Soon, I have an OBD2 reader coming in the mail. 82 is never net 82 usable is it? High 70s is good for the "82" as far as I understand it.

Thanks for the cold charging replies. Picked up my Model 3 today. Haven't looked for the sticker, but the code that showed up in the registration docs was E5LD, so it's a nice new LG 82 for me! Very happy about that and happy with the whole car. Ordered Oct 8 by the way, shipped from China...

About charging in the cold, why is it that the battery can take very low charging speed when cold but you can still drive and have a higher kW output? Is discharging easier on the chemistry?

Does it apologise after the fart noises now?

Yeah that was what I expected from following this thread the past month. Registration details should show up before the weekend, I'll be sure to update.

I take delivery in Norway in one week, the car left Shanghai Oct 21. My invoice says the variant is MT321, which I gather is the Panasonic 82 / BT42 / E3LD. Can that be right?

Are there Model 3s delivered with the 5L yet? My Model 3 is on a boat that left Shanghai in October. I hope I don't get the 5C, but the order page said 614 km so I'm guessing/hoping that means it's either 3L or 5L.

You may still get yours. They don't get built to order, so if there's a car on board that matches your order (or gets freed by someone changing or cancelling theirs) you may get assigned underway.
