    Home charging has become more expensive than Supercharging at night. Should I still charge at home?

    We have two teslas and always charge at home during the day because we have a large solar system with a back up battery system. This is the best way if you have that setup I think. We charge one at a time of course. We do charge at night if we have bad weather for over 6 days in a row. We have...

    Minimum charge

    We have 2 Teslas model 3, one long range and one performance. We only charge to 100% just before a trip. Daily charging is at 90% as needed and I like to keep the battery at 50% or more. My wife gets busy sometimes and it drops to 30% rarely, in cold weather a warning comes up that the car won’t...

    Aside from Pedal Control (Normal to Sport) - how else to tell if the car has Accel Boost?

    Roush supercharged mustangs, GT 500 Shelby, dodge hell cat, etc. Many high line hot rods have seen nothing but my rear tail lights as they go up in smoke. Old rule with racing, if your spinning you’re not winning.

    2018 Tesla model 3 performance range drop

    Makes sense, mine has the 20 inch with the pilot sport tires. I went in the service section and my battery shows its health at 90% so I should be good for a long time.

    2018 Tesla model 3 performance range drop

    That’s good information, I will do that. I mainly will be driving it to work and back 16 miles total a day. So the 50% charge will work good for me. Thank You.

    Recomended straps for towing

    I own a rim repair business and have repaired many wheels from people strapping wheels to a trailer d ring. My advice is use the over the tire trailer straps to avoid damaging the surface of your rims.

    Aside from Pedal Control (Normal to Sport) - how else to tell if the car has Accel Boost?

    I have a tesla model long range with boost. Gas cars don’t stay up with it to good. Many of the so called high performance gas cars get a good look at the back of my car getting smaller as I leave them in the dust. Teslas are the new hot rods of the day.

    Coolant Low Warning Concern

    I just bought this car 7 days ago from Tesla. At 90% charge it shows only 246 miles, rated at 310 at 100%. Is this a problem coming?

    Coolant Low Warning Concern

    I took it to the dealership. They topped off the fluid and did not see any leaks. So they said it is ok now.

    2018 Tesla model 3 performance range drop

    I just purchased this car a week ago. I have noticed at 90% charge it only has 246 mile range. Factory rated it for 310 miles new. I realize it can lose miles over time, it currently has 65,000 miles on it. I bought it from Tesla corporate. I love Teslas and we bought a brand new model 3 long...

    Coolant Low Warning Concern

    I just bought a model 3 performance and it has a low coolant level warning VC front _A135_ coolant low. They can’t get the car in for a week. Is ok to drive like that?

    Aside from Pedal Control (Normal to Sport) - how else to tell if the car has Accel Boost?

    It shows acceleration boost in upgrades on your tesla app. I did it on my long range model 3. I recommend it, the car is fun but the boost adds a bigger smile.

    Towing a Model 3 RWD

    I have towed a Mercedes RWD hundreds of miles behind my RV with no issues. I use the steering anti theft devise that attaches to the brake pedal and the steering wheel. This has been really a good system. What does everyone think of doing that with the rear drive Tesla? We love our AWD and was...

    One year review

    We have had our long range model 3 with the power boost for awhile now. Flawless operation every day. We love this car and it is by far the best car I have ever owned. Many people talk about the power boost, some say it’s not worth it. I say it’s worth every penny, the fun factor is high. Many...

    Auto braking by it’s self when nothing is around.

    We don’t have the full self driving style, just the beta that comes with the car. But when we do use it sometimes when there are no cars around us on the freeway the car just brakes hard by it’s self for no apparent reason. Does anyone know if there is a side ware update coming to correct this?

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    I just got my car and boosted it. I highly recommend the boost upgrade! I had a 383 Camaro with a stick shift, this is way faster to my surprise. Launch makes you smile and laugh a lot from the massive torque.
