i’m sure this has been asked before (if so delete this). in terms of battery health (for a model 3 LR) — is the ACT of charging to 90-100% detrimental to longevity or is it charging to that amount and letting the car sit at that SOC? i.e. if i charged to 100% but theoretically drove off uphill...

love auto climate in the tesla, best in any car i've had (mainly audis).

2022 M3LR and have never run into this issue.

(moderator note) merged this thread on looking over the shoulder into this existing thread on blind spot visibility, as its the same general discussion) ========================================= just curious if people still always look over their shoulder when changing lanes on the highway...

i thought about doing this and even the full PPF (to get the matte black look, which is considerably expensive) but in the end decided it wasn't worth the cost. younger me would have definitely done it 😆 as my daily driver / "beater" (lots of highway miles), will just accept that the car will...

yep mostly for the fun factor. although it is nice to know you can easily overtake or accelerate yourself out of a bad situation if need be -- it has saved me in a few situations. best on unsuspecting victims in the passenger or back seats -- really wish you could record from the interior...

i was between the P and the LR and the ability to get acceleration boost (for me) was the deal breaker. i only cared purely about acceleration -- i did not want track mode, larger wheels, different suspension or the battery efficiency hit you take with them nor did i want to go through the...

my initial impressions review: 1 week review (M3LR). just hit 10k miles and wanted to give an update on my thought thus far. 1. autopilot this is probably the biggest surprise for me. when i initially tried AP i had significant phantom braking on the highway and it was terrible (nausea...

nope! everything has been great so far.

since my delivery in february, ive seen a substantial improvement in AP and curious if others have also noticed. initially i tried AP off and on for the first several weeks and had some bad phantom braking events. it was also terrible in stop and go traffic (waiting too long to accelerate, then...

i can echo that initial impression -- i really didn't like the look of ANY of the tesla line but the model 3 has grown on me the most (i actually think its the best looking model).

just had a similar experience. 2 road bikes on a 1up rear rack. round trip physical miles: 120 (mainly highway) tesla miles: 190 average speed around 70.

-sandisk 1TB extreme pro SSD -tesla all weather mats (frunk, interior and trunk) -tesla pet liner -tesla bros drop lock -spigen matte screen protector -jowua center console tray -jowua armrest organizer -motrobe cupholder insert -scentwedge scent inserts (not must-have but nice)

tried to wait as long as i could into ownership to get acceleration boost. lasted about a week. no regrets!

i dont like putting the bike in the interior that way -- besides it being a pain to put the bike in without taking off the wheels / using a chain keeper i also don't want my frame sliding around in the interior. way more convenient with the 1up system. the stealth hitch is nice -- when not in...

so since ownership two instances that have made me weary of AP. for perspective, whenever i use AP i am more alert/aware than when i’m driving myself. 1. driving on the the freeway in the lane next to the carpool lane. early in the morning (5AM) so scant traffic. going 80 with AP engaged...

hitch installed!

fixed after wash.

got it -- will just do a wash then. thanks.

auto-wipers have been working great for me in general. recently parked under a tree with some mild tree sap like material that lightly dropped all over my windshield -- when auto-wipers are engaged it thinks its water and will intermittently turn on. obviously this is fixed by turning off the...

driving home today (super windy in the east bay) and a substantially large branch fell on my roof! expected the worst when i got home but no damage and scuffs were easily wiped off.

as i understand, if you have an existing order and you want to purchase something that has popped into inventory, you will have to pay the deposit again.

well i guess im glad i never knew what the old release was like because i would be more annoyed! i also tried adjusting the settings (5mph limit, 6-7 car length) during stop and go traffic to work tonight, still same result.

@jdgordon7 - have you noticed any improvement with the setting changes? i just tried AP in stop and go freeway traffic and had a similar experience to your original post. i was actually afraid it would not break in time as the acceleration during the "go" period is much harder than i would do...

my initial quote from the tesla website was 13k. there was a tesla certified company in my area that installed the tesla wall connector for 3.5k.

nice! i was never a tesla fanboy (in fact a bit of the opposite) and really thought i would own audis for a lifetime. audi's offerings were just underwhelming in the EV sector and i really wanted something that was more purpose built from the ground up as its own unique platform. although i...

i just turned 40 last year (yikes) and was lucky enough to be an only child with very generous parents. first car i owned was a new 1998 toyota 4runner that got totaled (other driver's fault) which led to the s4 (used) and my following audis were all used. this is my first new car since the...

this is exactly the main reason we didn't get the Y actually -- not fully ready to be EV exclusive yet.

I wanted to give a brief review of my 1 week experience. for context, i have come from driving audis exclusively for ~20 years and i tend to keep them for a long time. 2000 audi s4 2.7L twin turbo (retired after 180k) 2010 audi q5 s-line premium plus 3.2L (retired after 180k) 2012 audi q5...

SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO Portable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GV9M64L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share picked up this and works great so far. have it partitioned to have music and dashcam/sentry.

i haven't had luck getting FLAC files to work. i'm using noteburner to remove DRM from my apple lossless files and convert them to FLAC. songs show up and i get an "error can't load" when i attempt to play them. using noteburner to convert them to mp3s work fine. anyone have any...

cost, size (wanted something smaller), range, acceleration. the fit and finish of audi is definitely superior but i really don’t have any complaints with the tesla so far. car feels just as solid and grounded as the audis i have owned.

forgot to mention my 174XXX had both ryzen and lithium ion. didn’t ask the SA about it at all (didn’t really care either way) but when he was showing me around the interface he went into the system list and showed me the ryzen — then commented how it was “kinda a big deal these days”. he also...

graduated! picked up from corte madera in the bay area. no issues with the car whatsoever — just some pollen from a neighboring tree but that’s it, very impressed. never thought it would come but certainly worth the wait! good luck for everyone still waiting!

strange.

inquired to my SA about not getting a "vision agreement" to be signed -- they said that since my order was placed after they switched to "pure vision” they said there is no vision agreement to sign? anyhow excited about pickup tomorrow!

scheduled pick-up for the 15th! still don't have a vision agreement to sign?

both my orders will be in the 2nd day of EDD window tomorrow. here comes the double pushback.

nice! that hopefully means there’s a batch of blk/blk being built soon. for selfish reasons of course. 🤪

i had a very similar push back yesterday but then today went back to < 2 week window again.

nope :/

grats! hoping i’m not too far behind.

if my EDD is shrinking everytime i enter the window and the end date isn't changing, is that a good sign? or will i wake up one day to a drastic change? still no VIN.
