It will do that if you touch the navigation icon (with distance information) on the right of the destination address.

Smell is quite strong if the breeze is toward you. I had to turn on the bio-defense AC mode 😀 for relief during supercharging. I guess if I was there for long, sooner or later I would get used to it.

Yes, it does. It follows the route you choose.

"If all doors are closed and Model 3 was automatically unlocked by your authenticated phone..." This is the key clause. Let's say the car is locked and you walk toward it. It unlocks. Now if you walk away without opening any doors, the car will again lock itself after one minute.

I have both and I agree with lot of what has already been said. I do prefer Model S for longer trips because the ride is much more comfortable. I use Model 3 for zipping around town because it is smaller. Why are you thinking of switching to Model 3?

Since there is no communications from Tesla about superchargers that are in process of being built, the information on supercharger.info are from Tesla enthusiasts like us who happened to locate a permit or construction. The chart of built superchargers at supercharge.info shows that there has...

I see that the voltage is 231 volts. So you are not using a regular household outlet. What kind of outlet are you using? If it is NEMA 14-50, the car has detected instability in the line and reduced the amperage. Try unplugging and plugging again and see if it starts at a higher amperage and...

What I feared has happened. Someone emptied the trunk of empty grocery bags and other minor items. My wife's phone key works most of the time. Occasionally when it does not work, she uses the card to unlock. Looks like one day it slipped her mind that she needed to lock using the card because...

Here is one reason for this update. Go to 16:47

No change in release notes. I doubt that I can tell whether they changed braking algorithm. The change will likely only be for the slamming on brake scenario where the software has to modulate ABS differently.

This has been ridiculously unreliable. Today the door unlocked without any problem with phone in my pocket, but demanded the card to get started. Instead of doing that I turned bluetooth off and then on again. That did it. Someone asked my wife today how she liked the car. She felt like saying...

After days of frustration, I have a mini breakthrough in understanding the inconsistent behavior of our Model 3 with regards to unlocking using the phone or the card. The behavior we see with our car is as follows. YMMV. When the car is awake the tap of the card or approach with a connected...

This is related to the performance capability of your computer. I see this if I set the power mode to best battery life. Changing the power mode to better performance eliminates the problem.

First Drive: Tesla Model 3 Video: 2018 Tesla Model 3 Quick Drive Bottom Line As our Model 3 reaches 2,000 break-in miles and heads into our formal testing phase, we’re struck by how enjoyable this car is to drive. But we’re on the fence about its 15-inch touch screen. Time—and further...

Last year I was able to go to all those locations in a 90D using existing superchargers, but having one in Kanab would have definitely made it much less stressful.

Look under Energy. Tesla Solar Roof

Power is limited to about 30KW in all the stalls I tried this afternoon. Yesterday was normal. It is likely a temporary reduction today.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from a Typical Passenger Vehicle | US EPA has this and other useful information. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2.

I am using Tesla default login. I too have the problem.

Another option is to go through Monterey or Monterey-Seaside supercharger. It would be faster than going to Atascadero.

We are about to get yelled at by the ecar... guy for talking about something other than the West Yellowstone supercharger. :)

Charging at a public charger in Lebanon,Oregon during total eclipse. Took photo with a cellphone, so the corona is a white blob :)

Two temporary chargers being installed in Mount Shasta even as we speak - Wednesday 7:55am Apparently the PO for these was issued on Monday. They were originally meant for Corning, but at the last minute changed to Mount Shasta.

Two temporary chargers being installed in Mount Shasta even as we speak - Wednesday 7:55am Thank you, Tesla. I hope my phone calls made a difference Apparently the PO for these was issued on Monday. They were originally meant for Corning, but at the last minute changed to Mount Shasta.

Um... I had called Tesla (Roadside assistance) on three different occasions in last weeks to suggest deploying mobile superchargers in Corning, Mount Shasta, and Grants Pass.

11pm on Aug 19. 7 cars waiting in line here in Mount Shasta. Line moved about 3 cars every hour. C'mon Tesla, you knew it was going to happen. Where are the mobile chargers?!

I was charging in the left most (pull in) stall. The charging stopped 3-4 times in the first couple of minutes and I had to restart charging from the app each time. After that charging went smoothly.

I also had to wait for a free stall for 15-20 minutes last Saturday around 1:30pm. However, charging rate was not a problem.

I was a bit concerned about the slow charging issue before going through Vacaville last weekend. However, the charging was fantastic for me both times - Saturday ~10am (with no other cars) and Monday ~3pm (all stalls full). Both times the power was normal. I was on 1A both times.

That's too slow even for 102 degree weather.

An inside picture. Incidentally, I like Tesla textile seats. It's almost like leather , but I don't have to worry about it developing cracks. Getting the same in my newer one.

Coooool! This one really sneaked up on us. Visiting Yellowstone will be a breeze now. If you have to, come out, charge and go back in! In addition, electric vehicle chargers are being installed inside the park.

If you haven't already tried rebooting the center console, try that (by holding both scroll wheels down for a few seconds).

I have an offer from Tesla to do that and I did not get my car serviced every year.

Set the charging to anywhere from 50% to 80%, plug it in and forget about it until you come back.

Awww, look at that little baby! :)

Sorry, I just realized that this was already posted with subject of something like taking the car out for a spin.

5 teens survive 80-foot leap, rollover in Tesla Model S crash

After years of driving cars with leather seats, I had enough of it. So I ordered my first Tesla with textile seats. It is in fact a hybrid of textile and some other leather-ish material. Although leather feels more "luxurious", I prefer Tesla textile to leather... no cracks as leather usually...
