I have a 2017 XP100D on 20" wheels and a brand new MY LR on 19" wheels. The view in the mirror out the rear window isn't notably worse on the Y compared to the X. The rear camera on the Y was a pleasant surprise (compared to the M3 LR I owned briefly it's much, much better, and roughly...

@Helen Lau: Goulding's Campground in Monument Valley has been the default 'insurance charge' stop for Blanding-Flagstaff since the Supercharger network was young. I used it a couple of times with my Sig S85 on road trips until I learned that in good conditions I could easily make it from...

@ForeverFree : if your daily commutes are both relatively short, the easy solution is to timeshare a single WC by the day rather than by the hour. Just plug one car in tonight, and the other one in tomorrow night; lather, rinse, repeat. I've got an S and a 3 that share a single WC: it works...

You're right, SSedan. And 'peak torque at zero mph' really gets your attention when you're in the driver's seat. :)

My numbers for the X and 3 are similar. It's still very much winter here and my average for the XP100D since November is 398 Wh/mi in 3200 miles; my average in the 3 since the Feb 2 delivery is 248 Wh/mi in just under 1000 miles.

An update to my earlier post, in which I reported seeing a maximum charge rate of 21kW during a supercharging session that started at 65% SOC. Since then I've been back to the same supercharger (Loveland, CO) in warmer conditions (ambient temperature 59º F.); initial charge rate at 40% SOC was...

This is not true. In a RWD Model S, during regenerative braking (i.e., lifting off the accelerator rather than pressing the brake pedal) the front wheels are not subject to any braking: all regenerative braking is seen as ‘engine’ drag on the rear wheels, and the same amount of energy is...

Don’t leave your key card at home: more than once I’ve had to use the key card to drive even though the phone app unlocks the car normally. Once seated I attempt to put it in gear and the display tells me to place the key card behind the Center console cup holders.

I'm still wondering why some people have reported they see up to 100kW or so when supercharging their 3; during my sole experience with supercharging my 3 the charge rate ramped quickly up to 18kW, plateaued, and then (slowly) climbed to 21kW over the next half hour. Then I lost patience and...

If charging rate is calculated the same as Models S and X, the charge rate in kW is an instantaneous value and mph is a session average. Which makes it hard to compare the mph values across different charging sessions unless you happen to start and stop each session at identical SOC.

Mine is no tighter than the charging ports on other Teslas I have owned.

I tried Supercharging my Model 3 for the first time today, at Loveland, CO. I was the only one using the Supercharger. I plugged in at 64% SOC and was surprised when the charging rate stabilized at a paltry 18kW! My first thought was that the ambient temperature, 24º F., had cooled the battery...

So far the standout thing about my 3 is the ease of entry and exit: for someone my size (a 6'2" widebody) the S is hard to get in and out of, primarily due to the low roofline . The 3 is much easier to negotiate. But the S/X user interface to TACC/Autosteer is much better: it's all on the...

This all changed again tonight: the Delivery Estimator now shows Late 2018 for both SR and AWD configurations.

Still working for me.

The Model 3 Delivery Estimator (for those of us current owners with first-day reservations) still shows Dual Motor AWD with a choice of LR or SR battery packs, and a Jul-Sep 2018 delivery window. I think there would be a huge outcry if they were to take the SR pack off the table entirely. But it...

Actually, the real record would have been just before booster cutoff: for a given thrust, max acceleration occurs at the lightest vehicle weight. So from, say, 15,000 to 15,060 mph in under half a second. ;)

The hardware is already built into the vehicle. Adding Enhanced Autopilot is a software switch that Tesla can enable remotely. Give them a call and have your credit card ready. :)

I apologize for rehashing old news, but I searched before posting and didn't come up with anything.

Trev, over at the Model 3 Owners Club YouTube channel has released a new video that shows how to get to what appears to be an entirely new configurator for Model S. You start by typing in www.tesla.com/build/models, then stop the page load before it completes. There's a vastly simpler array of...

Any news on the delivery front?

Congratulations, and welcome to TMC. Your drivetrain is still covered by the 8-yr unlimited mileage warranty, right? I wouldn't be too concerned about the 2-yr 100k warranty on everything else. Any idea why it's 4-8 weeks out from delivery?

Not to hijack the thread, but you may find that the windshield washer is working as designed: in newer Model X the left wiper arm emits fluid only on the upstroke and only ahead of the advancing wiper arm, which means that it's removed by the blade as soon as it hits the glass. It looks...

Yes, but I have no skis. o_O

I agree with the OP on most everything. I have found one situation where AP2 is doing better than AP1: in my neighborhood where there are no pavement markings of any kind, AP1 almost never offered up the Autosteer Available (white steering wheel) icon; now with 8.1, AP2 gives me the opportunity...

It was ten months from the time I took delivery of my P85D with AP1 hardware before Tesla deployed the first public firmware version that included Autosteer.

I took delivery of my new Model X yesterday, and can report something similar. The new X was flawless: for the first time in my Tesla-owning life (this is my sixth Tesla: a Roadster, three Model S and two Model X), I took possession without having to create a due bill or have a technician fix...

@DHG: I just 'downgraded' from an AP1 SP85D to an AP2 S90D. The 90D has significantly better range, much more than the 5kWh nominal increase would suggest. It has plenty of power, and is the quietest model S I've owned. You won't be sorry. :)

I recall the same 303 Wh/mi value for achieving Rated range on my very early Sig S85 (delivered in September, 2012). I cross-checked the Trip meter's average energy consumption against the Energy graph's 30-mile averager, on several occasions, and it always came in at 303 or 302 Wh/mi when the...

Same here on my HW2 S90D.

This 'disease' is going around: it got me, too. My old Sig S85 VIN 00011n (not even P) has gone to a new owner in FL and I just traded in my very early P85D on an inventory S90D with AP2 hardware. It's already been to the shop for paint protection and I have to say it's very much the quietest...

My under-informed guess is that in order to create the interior overpressure that makes Bioweapon Defense mode work (the excess pressure in the cabin means that all the little cracks and leaky seals vent interior air to the outside, so that the only outside air reaching the cabin has to pass...

If Bioweapon Defense mode is a recirculating mode (seems like it should be at least partially recirc, but I don't really know) then your windows will fog up when it's very cold outside. I should try it in the morning: it's supposed to reach -10° F. here overnight.

I drove out to Brush yesterday to check out the new SpC. I noted the 'imaginary cloverleaf' at the Brush exit on my Nav display and made a mental note to warn others here about the mapping error. But then this morning there was a new map update on my S, and the error has been fixed. :D

Me three: I picked up an AP2 inventory S90D on Thursday and was shocked to learn how much I have come to rely on adaptive cruise and Autosteer. o_O Come on, 8.1...

Stopped by the brand-new Loveland SpC yesterday in my brand-new 90D. I was momentarily excited to think I might have been the first to charge there when I read the electric meter (00003 kWh) but the display never changed. The 10th stall is a pull-in but not a pull-through; anyone who pulls in...

Definitely true, in my experience. There's a pair of sweeping 90º curves on an otherwise straight road that I drive frequently; if I let Autosteer handle it, the car slows down some but completes the curves without issue. If I so much as touch the steering wheel, Autosteer disengages...

A set of four, brand-new Pirelli Scorpion Winter XL tires suitable for Model X 20" factory wheels: two 265/45R-20 and two 275/45R-20. I bought these last winter expecting to put them on my Sig X for the rest of the snow season, but we didn't take delivery of the X until the end of April so...

Still available.

I suspect that the act of changing lanes using the turn signal stalk resets the nag timer, if there is one. My experience on 8.0 so far is that it flashes a warning about two minutes after engaging. I haven't gone farther into the annunciator protocol than the first beeps, and then only because...

Karen, you've probably added plenty of things to think about before making a decision, but let me add a couple more... Concerning the 60 vs. 75 battery decision, consider that for your everyday driving, 60 kWh is way more than you need. For your infrequent road trips, with a 60 you'll have to...

Um, no, not this American. Care to explain?

If you're alert and ready to take over, the car can't get very far off track or off speed before you intervene. I use AP as often as not in both my S P85D and my X P90D; I use it on divided highways, and when conditions warrant I also use it on city streets and two-lanes. But then, I'm a pilot...

The optimal cruising speed (defined as the cruising speed that gives the highest average speed-made-good toward the destination, including charging stops) depends entirely on the rate of charge you can expect at the next charging stop. The faster your charge rate, the higher your optimal cruise...

Replacing sticky 21" performance tires every 7-9K miles is expensive, even if you never blow one out or break a rim: way more expensive than the cost of the electricity you'll use wearing them out. And changing wheels twice a year for winter/summer driving is both expensive (purchase, storage...

Sounds like you've got a good handle on hypermiling techniques, joeytree. I will point out that here in the West the mountains are bigger and there is no way to avoid regen on the longer, steeper downhills. You, at 55mph on shallow downhills, aren't incurring the drag penalty I would see at...

My Sig X went to 251 Rated miles the one time I charged it to 100%

That's totally at odds with this report from Arizona, where the ambient temperature hit 100º F: "I had to turn the AC down cuz it was downright chilly in the X. At one point, had to move the climate control from 72 to 74." Is AC powerful enough for AZ summers?

The first 500 miles in my Model X Signature P90D were on 22" OEM turbine wheels with stock Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires: average consumption was 400 Wh/mi, on the nose. To be fair, the weather was cold and wet and sometimes snowy during that time. Then I put on the TSportline 20" staggered...
