    High Mileage Rental 3

    Why you're comparing it luxury cars? Model 3 is catered to everyday folks. Like a Toyota Camry. Almost the same price. :rolleyes: Most folks who can afford a Camry, do they want to spend money on replacing the suspension every 2 years? In this forum alone, you can find the numerous people...

    Battery charges to 80% then jumps to 83% 30 mins later

    You will gain miles when the car is warmed to optimal operating temperature. The temperature affects the electrical resistance of the battery. Simple as that. You get optimal miles in optimal temperature. Our brains do not work as fast as computers calculating. That's the gist of it.

    High Mileage Rental 3

    I've seen cars like this bought, 1 year later, it needs battery replaced. As much as people like to live in the clouds, they probably unprepared to accept the truth. All Tesla high mileage should be bought with caution since it gets out of warranty very quickly, then, you'll be knocked on...

    Anyone selling their Cybertruck?

    I think we're picking and choosing how to define scalpers. If we can't get stuff for the price we want, we get angry. Normal part of human nature. Nobody is really complaining about OPEC+ controlling the supply/demand. We seem to be OK with them scalping. I just don't get it. Screw oil they...

    High Mileage Rental 3

    The suspension issues are common. Car is heavier than ICE car of the same dimension. And, the suspension of the Model 3/Y isn't really beefed up like the suspension of the F150 Lightning. It's definitely a problem.

    Anyone selling their Cybertruck?

    There's a fallacy in the argument of holding for 1 year before turning a profit. Stock trades! Come on! If I can buy a share and sell the next day for a profit, the only penalty for profiteering should only be taxes. So, in the words, if we can do it on something of tangible value, why can't we...

    Upper control arm bushings , tesla wont replace

    It's definitely the suspension. Not the washer fluid. Metal contact vs plastic reservoir. Different noise. A clunk is metal noise. Over time, when you steer at low speed, you'll hear like it's clicking as well.

    Battery charges to 80% then jumps to 83% 30 mins later

    Wow! The car charges itself! Great car! 😁 I see this happen when the temperature increase or sometimes during charging. I set it to 90 for my limit, but, ended being 91 or 92. At first, I thought it was a ghost in the car so I went out to get some ghost charms and put in my car. Then, when I...

    Tesla France! WTF!

    That's sad. I thought all salesman are scam artists doing whatever to sell you the car. But, sounds like the experience you received is absolutely nuts! Salesman isn't doing his job of being a salesman.

    Upper control arm bushings , tesla wont replace

    It seems like you will be bracing it almost every 2-3 years after the first replacement. On my model S, I needed it replaced at about 100k miles....now, I'm getting it replaced almost every 1-2 years....thank goodness that ev garage warrantied the repair, so it was free.....that car is like...

    disproportionate inner tire wear on single tire

    It's the torque. The inner side of the tire has higher torque than the outer side. I've seen this on all EVs. I guess just don't accelerate too hard. On ICE cars, you can do alignment it'll fix it since they don't have instant torque. But, I don't think it can work with EVs since I've seen them...

    Speeding ticket question

    In cases like the OP, the state usually will just him/her go easy. They don't like bringing productive member of society to discipline them. It's a waste of the court's time and the OP. The court is already inundated with cases. Going after a good member of society usually is a waste of their...

    Speeding ticket question

    There services like Legalease $500 subsciption/year that can do a lot of legal work for less. They will cover most legal services, rental, citations, divorces, etc... It's almost like AAA service. But, instead, you have access to lawyers.

    Upper control arm bushings , tesla wont replace

    Dang man. Why do Tesla parts keep breaking!? I just don't get it. I'm like, you. I think there should be insurance for suspension issues. Did you check with the service center if they warrantied the repair? They might be able to replace it free of charge.

    Need advice for New Tesla owner making 800 mile trip

    Can't you just set your destination to Flagstaff instead. Then, once you arrive at Flagstaff, change it to your next destination. I don't use the supercharger automatic routing because depending on where I go, I may need to avoid having to go through Manhattan or Ferries. The charging app...

    Speeding ticket question

    My advice is to mark the ticket not guilty and wait until the magistrate calls you. Usually, they'll give you a break even if the officer had not. Sometimes, the break could be just a 5 mphs over the speed limit instead of listed speed. However, I'm not sure what you marked on your citation. If...

    Anyone selling their Cybertruck?

    Your supporting companies so they own the stuff you buy. Retro video games can make video games cost more, nobody is complaining. New nike drops with limited quantity. People resell them all the time. No problems.

    I think Warner is the best too. Having one more in between will at least allow the option for folks to turn back if they needed to.

    Taken 2021 Model Y in to service center 4 times in last month for "Powertrain needs servicing,", still unresolved - Anyone on the other side of this?

    Could alot of stuff. The coolant flow valve could be an issue as well. Not enough coolant and pressure. Could be wiring issue where a connector isn't attached properly. On the Model S/X, when the message occurs, it's related to the cooling system. Either the 3 way valve or 4 way valve or the...

    Battery and Drive Unit Warranties ending soon. What next?

    If you like the car, and don't mind to spend about 3,306,732 yen when the time comes for a new battery, then keep it. If you get a new Model S, you probably looking at paying the full price of a new car. Or, you can sell your existing Model S, and use the money to offsett the new car price...

    How many miles on original battery ?

    Great Dad! Dealership hides the incompetence by using the parts cannon on the customers causing them the jack up their service charges. Making excuses that they so and so extra to have it fixed. No true diagnostics skills.

    Range Estimates for Dummies

    When I first got my Tesla Model S, I always charge it whenever I get a chance. Even when it's 75% or 82% SoC. I was paranoid not to get my SoC to less than 50%. That was 2017. As I travel more with the car, I don't care much as long as I can get to my destination with atleast 20% charge that...

    Supercharger - Dover, NH

    Seems reasonable with Market Basket and McDonalds around. This place is beautiful during the early Fall and late Spring....The sunset is gorgeous. The community along this corridor somehow are not fond of EVs. They always use the reason, "only seniors lives here."....It such backwards...

    Supercharger - Dover, NH

    The towns between Manchester to I-89 are always arguing at the committee meetings about the EV charging infrastructure. We need more at least one more between Manchester and West Lebanon. There are so many great places, maybe in Sutton or Warner. 😭

    How thorough is Tesla trade in inspection for non-Tesla vehicles?

    When I traded in my Chevy Volt back in 2017, the experience was I go and take photos and send it over to them via the link portal they provided. They told me to take pictures of the front, side, rear, and notes any imperfection. Then, they provide a trade in quote. The day they deliver my Model...

    Supercharger - Fall River, MA

    Seems like there are alot of illegal hazardous waste dumped in the South End of Fall River/Tiverton pre-EPA all the way back to when Fall River was called Troy. I grew up and went to school in Fall River, MA. It's very nostalgic for me. All the schools I went to are demolished....Dubuque...

    37k, Km’s brake service

    I find it laughable that folks still says that there's no service needed on Tesla Brakes. They rust and corrode without use. The Tesla Model S, you can turn to "low" instead of "standard" regen during the winter to reduce the amount of corrosion. I been in many battles with Tesla simps about...

    Wiki Largest gaps between Superchargers on US Interstates

    I think it's the economy of scale working its magic. Back during the days of the J1772 adapter to Tesla adapter for Level 2 charging, it costs about $99 for a replacement. Now, you can get one for $20-30.

    Small accident - OK to go to a non-Tesla certified shop?

    Second Guessing Tire Purchase - Opinions?

    I don't get much alot of long miles on the MS tires. Usually replace them every year. They wear out so fast. Every 20k miles or less. Might as well just stick with $600 tires.

    psi reading on my tires is not accurate, car says they are 37-38 psi, I connected my compressor to it and it says 33.5 psi

    I think it's the compressor nozzle. If you the compressor type that screws in nozzle, I think that's a little bit better. If you have the compressor nozzle that pushes in with a latch, it probably is sensitive to how much you push onto the valve stem before closing the latch. This probably will...

    Coldest day of 2024, heater stopped working.

    Just get it done. If you live in the colder states, it's important. Driving with the windshield frosting very bad. And, if you have kids, you're screwed. If you have a spouse, they'll be extremely angry with you if that's the only car you have. My advice, go and get it done immediately. Get...

    Failed Inspection due to door handles? It passed in other locations in the past, not here! Wilson Tires and Auto in NH

    Nice to know I'm not the only guy who is rational. After I get this car fixed tomorrow, I will return to Wilson Tire and Auto and will give them a hard time. I'm going to be that customer and call them out on their incompetence. If nobody calls them out, they will just continue being a*holes...
