    Summer range in extreme temps = similar to Winter range! UGH!

    So, just when winter ended and my crappy 200-220 km range (M3 RWD Std LFP) turned into 330-400 km range in comfy temps (20 C / 70 F), today i experienced another unpleasant shock... We got extreme, unusual temps for our area... 35C or 95 F and ... of course the AC was on full blast and god...

    Wh/km (or mi) / range grossly mis-advertised, if not fraudulent... srsly.

    OK guys, sorry if anyone considers this a rant but I've finally concluded that Tesla is hiding info and mis-advertises the range of the car. It is truly crazy. We're not talking 10-20 percent as you might see on EPA estimates for ICE cars. We are talking 50%+ overestimate on range, near criminal...

    Music doesn't automatically start when bluetooth connects

    I have a Samsung S22 and Autoplay enabled in the music app (allow external devices to start playing music option). My ford f150 plays music automaically from my phone when I start the ignition, so the phone end is fine. Tesla doesn't and is highly annoying as i cant start the music playing from...

    Incorrect battery percentage reading and range estimation

    Sorry, accidentally posted in the wrong section.. Here is the situation: If I have "burned" 40kwh on a 60khw battery, as shown below, with the usable battery power of 57.5 kwn, first of all, why doesn't the display show 33% left rather than 11%? That suggests that i had roughly 17 kwh left in...

    Technical question about pre-conditioning and battery temperature

    I am simply curious, how does pre-conditioning work? Very specific questions here, thanks. 1. does it use liquid lines and some heat pump warms up the liquid which is transferred via some lines tucked in closely to the battery packs? Is it some dense and large liquid circuit OR does it use Air...

    Charged at supercharger that looked like a Dealership lot/showroom

    and... when i plugged in, no charge amount was shown, either live or at the end... So i stayed there and chilled while charging, assuming the dealer uses this for their cars and doesn't bother charging those who stumble upon that location. Next day i see a 4 dollar charge on my app. This is...

    Is 120v enough to precondition battery in Winter?

    Hey guys, so I DO have a 240v wall charger but it is relatively far from the garage where I prefer to keep the car during winter. Suggestions to move the L2 charge to garage aside, I want to use a 120v outlet in the garage to "keep the car plugged in at all times" during Winter as per...
