My wife uses about 18% of the battery on her daily commute. Since LFP says to charge to 100% at least once a week, my routine is to take car to 100% on Sunday, so its ready to start the work week. I'm conflicted on the charging through the week. I read that lifetime charging cycles is 5,000...

We use the location of the car a lot within the app. Very useful - I will tell my wife to meet me at the local charger after she gets off work, then we go out to dinner. I can see where she is on the map, even how fast the car is going, which makes it easy for me to time our meet up. Its also...

Another informative podcast, thanks all for providing. Newish owner of a Model 3, and found getting answers from Tesla directly is not easy to do, so TMC has proven very valuable. Had a problem with car not knowing where it was and some drop down menus wouldn't respond to input. Service...

Enjoyed the Podcast guys, learned a few things and was great to hear about CCS as I was interested in that. Thanks Oh, I forgot. . . Mike cool that you lived at a lighthouse. I'm a member of the US Lighthouse Society and just checked my Lighthouse Passport and count that I have visited 45...

I'm 68 with a model 3, actually it's my wife's car . . . . and she's 25. Just kidding, she's the same age as myself. Only had our Tesla a couple months, but we both love it. Small font size on screen (mentioned by others) is my only complaint. We traded an Alpha Romeo Guilia for the...

Thanks, always nice to compare what cost are in other areas. Our superchargers are the same cost as yours. We don't have time of use tiers here, but we do have tiers over baseline. My baseline is around 760 Kwh, the cost gets progressively higher as you use more. We rarely go over baseline...

I'm glad I read this thread before spending money on the CHAdeMO, I agree with you that it's best to wait. For the small amount of use I might get - the cost/benefit isn't worth it for me. I've got some Free J1772 that I use from time to time, superchargers on trips and otherwise charge at...

Found this information on the CHAdeMO adapter in the owners manual . . . . . Because continuous improvement is an ongoing goal at Tesla, and is necessary to ensure compatibility with as many models of CHAdeMO stations as possible, both present and future, Tesla reserves the right to make...

Good info to know. I was trying to buy the CHAdeMO adapter when my Tesla Rep told me they no longer make or sell it. He didn't know why. Ones on E-bay are very expensive, and I had no idea that updates would be needed. There is a charge station where we frequent that has CCS and CHAdeMO, so...

Thanks all for your responses, very helpful and video was interesting and something I hadn't thought about. After I posted, my wife mentioned that she had her lunch in the car and the screen map kept jumping around displaying different locations all by itself - at one point displaying a...

Wife put her purse and school bags in our Model 3 (new owners only two weeks) from passenger side. Walked around car to drivers side but car was locked. Both the black key and phone were inside. She called me, and I pressed the unlock on my phone and the car did unlock. (I was 26 miles away)...

Update and last post from waiting room...... I received a call this morning that a car matching my order except it had Areo wheels instead of sport wheels was available from someone who cancelled their order. I accepted, had a VIN number in 5 minutes, and a pick up time two hours later in San...

To search existing inventory beyond 200 miles, I just entered a different zip code. I was curious what inventory was listed for the bay area, so entered San Francisco zip code 94102 and found another 14 cars. None were rear wheel drive, what I'm looking for. Some were new, some demo's and...

If anyone is interested - this morning there are 14 existing inventory cars in LA. One is Rear Wheel drive and the rest extended or performance. Majority are Red and new, but a few are listed as low mileage demo's. They have to be picked up in LA. I wish you could search for a greater...

Has anyone on a waiting list later ordered a car from existing inventory? I am waiting for a standard model 3, but there have been some listed in existing inventory. They are in LA and I'm in San Diego. I didn't want to apply a second $250 deposit, and then have two cars. So I waited to the...

Haven't taken delivery of our model 3 yet, but found this information very helpful. . . Thanks. Question: if my wife's driving profiles are linked to her phone and my driving profiles are linked to my phone, what happens when we go somewhere together with both phones in the car at the same...

I was seeing some conflicting information about the EV tax credit, so decided to go straight to H.R. 5376 and see for myself. It's 2,702 pages long, with EV's appearing in hundreds of sections and subsections. Appears most of the EV tax credits are discussed in section 136401. I was most...

I asked for a one day delay from Dec 31 to 1 Jan, but received a negative response. Worded very nicely but date wasn't moved. Then a couple days later the date changed for unknown reasons to March 9th 2022. My advisor said that the dates are established by the factory and could move in either...

I'm trading a 2017 Alpha Romeo Guilia with clear title which is also insured with GEICO. After seeing your quote, I'm thinking about getting a Tesla insurance quote, or USAA. I had a June delivery date originally, then March, then 22 Dec - 31 Dec, but today it changed back to March. Model 3...

In my post I had 2020 typo's as I meant 2022. Anyway, this morning the 22 Dec -31 Dec window changed back to March 2022. So longer wait, but may be batter for tax credits. I did confirm that the car for delivery in December would NOT have LFP batteries, but would be a 2022 model. Wondering...

I placed an order for Model 3 the same day the bill cleared in the house. Figured I was safe for a 2020 delivery as the date at that time was June 2020 for a rear drive white with sport wheels. Within a few days the delivery was moved up to March 2020, so still safe for 2020 delivery. Then I...

I considered the Y, good point you make. But when I saw the BBB incentives may be limited to $55K, that ruled out some models. (of course it may all change anyway) Good to know the bumper distance will still be noted in inches. Our Guilia has red, yellow, green lights but wife has still...

No, our Guilia isn't the Quadrifoglio, but still faster than either of us need or use. It was our son's car, when he took a job in Japan we bought it from him since he couldn't take it. Really nice example of a combustion engine vehicle, but going electric now. It was fun for a few years...

I found this thread very interesting and helpful, thanks to all. I did a 30 minute test drive and placed an order for a M3. I have Geico, so that discussion was helpful. I just assumed since we were trading an Alpha Romeo Guilia, which is expensive to insure, that the M3 would hopefully not...
