    Keeping an Infrequently Driven LFP Happy

    I am an infrequent driver with a LFP M3, I drive around 100-150 miles a week. I charge to 100% once a week and 70% the rest of the days. Some days I come back home with 55-65% battery and I'm set to charge it to 70% that day. Should I not charge and wait until I run it down to 30-40%, or just...

    Keeping an Infrequently Driven LFP Happy

    Tesla recommends you keep it plugged in, even if it's not charging. But yes, I sometimes get lazy too

    Audiophiles, what gives better sound quality? Apple Music via bluetooth or the built-in Apple Music app?

    Found this recently posted Apple Music on Tesla appears to use the HE-AAC codec at 64 kbps. Explanation and testing inside.

    Audiophiles, what gives better sound quality? Apple Music via bluetooth or the built-in Apple Music app?

    I don't have the update yet so I can't confirm, but I've heard that Apple Music app on Tesla does not sync songs you have manually downloaded and uploaded to your Apple Music account

    Why didn't my Tesla charge last night on my scheduled departure settings?

    This is so convoluted and unnecessarily confusing. Why doesn't Tesla just add a time window like you mentioned, is this not a hot topic item people are asking for? Love the car but the charging UI is awful. There should also be days of the week you should be able to modify, I.E. charge to 70% on...

    Why didn't my Tesla charge last night on my scheduled departure settings?

    Sorry I'm having trouble getting it blue. Which Departure button do I tap? Tapping the one on the top left of my picture did nothing

    Why didn't my Tesla charge last night on my scheduled departure settings?

    I've had my Model 3 SR for a week now and I've been charging it no problem by enabling scheduled charging to start at 12:00 AM. Last night, I tried to do Scheduled Departure. My goal is to charge as closely from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM which are my off-peak hours. Here are the settings I had: I...

    Audiophiles, what gives better sound quality? Apple Music via bluetooth or the built-in Apple Music app?

    I've been using Apple Music on my phone and via bluetooth playing it on my Tesla. With the recent software update, Tesla added a built-in Apple Music app. Which way should I be playing the music if I want to get the best sound quality, bluetooth or the Tesla app? Or are they the same sound...

    Holiday update? what can we expect?

    Newbie here, is there any way I can force a software update or do I have to wait for Tesla to push it to my car? I have the software update set to "Advanced" in the car and that's about it. Is there anyway I can force the update manually from my car or phone?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I received the $3,750 discount on my account, 3 days before delivery. It's actually more of a $4,000-$4,100 discount because it lowers the sales tax and license fee since the December discount is upfront

    Can someone explain this sentence from the owner's manual regarding the battery

    "Model 3 has one of the most sophisticated battery systems in the world. The most important way to preserve the high voltage Battery is to LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when you are not using it." I have access to a home charger daily. Does this mean that every night I should plug in the...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I did but I kinda got an ambiguous message "The credit will be applied automatically as it gets closer to your scheduled delivery date. You may make the final payment on the Tesla APP later once you see the credit is applied. Thank you."

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I have a delivery for a Model 3 SR coming up soon and I've looked at a couple check list documents. These check lists have hundreds of items and many of them are small things such as making sure the truck opens up properly or the brake lights turn on. What are the big items I should be looking...

    Can I install a 60 amp circuit breaker for the wall charger if I have a SR version?

    I have a Model 3 SR, and Tesla says the Rear-Wheel Driver version can charge at 32A and recommends to install a 40 amp breaker. Can I still install a 60 amp breaker and it wont damage the car in any way? I want to future proof the circuit breaker in case I get a new car later or ever upgrade...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    This is exactly why I'm trying to time it where I order in Q4 and get it in Q1. I'm not sure if now is a good time to order or maybe wait 2 more weeks

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Is now a good time to order if I want to get delivery on/after Jan 1st? On the Tesla website for my zip code, it says the Estimated Delivery is "December 2022". How accurate is this? And how much can I delay the order, are they okay with a 1-2 week delay?

    LFP to 100% Each Week—Assumptions?

    Let's say you don't charge the car all the way to 100% weekly and the BMS miscalculates. Would this then be a permanent issue? Can you just charge it to 100% weekly and the BMS will fix itself eventually? Or is the BMS permanently "damaged".

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    On the Tesla website for my zip code, it says the Estimated Delivery would be between Nov-Dec if I order today. How accurate is that estimated delivery date? In order to potentially get tax credits, I want to order in a way where I get delivery on or shortly after January 1st. Any general idea...

    Confusion on keeping the charge limit at 100% and charge fully once per week

    First, let's look at some relevant quotes from the owners manual: This portion essentially states that whether or not if you are charging, the vehicle should be plugged in. For most people with Level 2 charging at their house/apartment, it should pretty much be plugged in every night, if it is...

    Discussion : All discussion regarding Model 3 and Tax credit in model 3 subforum

    I, probably like many others, am looking to get the Model 3 delivered at or after January 1st for the potential of a $3,500 or $7,500 EV tax credit for the standard range version. I have been refreshing the order page for the estimate delivery date and it has not moved from "Nov-Dec 2022" in...
