Thanks everyone. I did a reboot and eventually it fixed itself. I can now plug in the charger and it automatically charges at 32amps.

Thanks, you guys! I have not tried the standard reboot yet. I will give that a try this evening when I get home from work.

I would tend to agree with you except that this car has been through 4 hot Phoenix summers already and never had a problem. This isn't the first time we've had 115 degree plus days in Phoenix!!! Also, it has been doing this ever since the software update which was 2-3 weeks ago. Through the...

I have a 2019 SR+ Model 3 with about 60K miles on it that I have owned since new. I charge it almost exclusively in my garage with a 240(? dryer style) outlet using TESLA's standard charging cord that came with the car, and for the last 4 years it has charged consistently at about 32-33 MPH...

This less expensive Standard Range version should definitely help increase sales.

Great thread, and some excellent points in response. If Tesla is not a traditional luxury car then at the very least it is a new category of luxury, perhaps "tech luxury"? Tesla not only makes us question what a luxury car is, but what a sports car is. Is a Tesla more like a Lamborghini or a...

So you don’t think kids are a reliable source of information on what up and coming trends are in our world? Now I’m the one that doesn’t know what to say! Kids are THE source for these things. But don’t take my word for it, take a moment and entertain yourself by watching this clip about kids...

I use the protectant. I have never tried the cleaner.

I wouldn’t be surprised if California figured out a way to apply this law to Tesla’s planned Robotaxi fleet: either they would have to treat me (and other Tesla owners) as employees :rolleyes:, or they would have to treat the cars themselves as employees (after all, Tesla cars are special, most...

When I first got my Model 3 last summer I wondered the same as you. Over the last year with new software releases it has actually gotten better (less “dancing” going on, etc.). What you are describing is also what I see on mine, but I don’t pay much attention to it anymore, other then to...

anybody want to take a guess at the MSRP?

The website is stating 300 mile range

So far it looks like they have the SHOW car version up on their website: Introducing Cadillac LYRIQ: An All-Electric Future

The Cadillac Lyriq, all-electric crossover SUV! Everyone’s doing “reveals” now. Read about it here: Watch live 7 p.m.: Cadillac Lyriq electric luxury SUV reveal to include live Q&A Watch the 7pm EDT Reveal/Debut live here: LYRIQ Live Reveal

This is one of the better threads I've seen on lease vs purchase pro's and con's regarding Tesla. It's nearly impossible to nail down a definitive answer because many of the variables are constantly changing, not to mention the fact that no one can predict the future (depreciation, etc.). But...

PPF is like a clear wrap that you put on all or part of the car. It is usually done only once for the life of the car (mine has a 10-year warranty). Ceramic coatings are like a clear coat over your paint (and applied over PPF as well). Mine is a less expensive ceramic with a 5-year warranty...

If you mean the ceramic window tint: SunTek CIR 30, including Side windows Back window and top window, $800 from Shane's If you mean the ceramic coating on the exterior paint: $599 from Race Day Detail (this was NOT their top-of-the-line ceramic coating)

I thought the same thing, and a couple of years ago was actively considering a used Model S over a new Model 3. Then I called my insurance agent. Where I live (Phoenix, AZ) a 3 or 4 year old Model S was going to cost me considerably more to insure then a new Model 3. For me, the smaller size of...

If you live in NW part of Phoenix, Shane's Tint and Clear Bra, Peoria, AZ. Had My Model 3 done (PPF & ceramic tint) by Shane one year ago. One man shop, Shane does all the work himself, has been in business for years. Excellent reputation. Window Tinting & Clear Bra in Peoria AZ | Shane's...

You can "LOL" all you want about Tesla's being described as "aspirational", but here's a true story: when I pull up to my son's grade school (K-8th grade) in our Tesla Model 3 to pick him up after school, I often see kids pointing and exclaiming to their friends "Look! There's a TESLA!!"...

I respect the fact that you feel so strongly about this issue that you are willing to deny yourself the car you want because of it. Just keep in mind that there are legitimate differing points of view on how to deal with COVID-19. Apart from that, your post sounds more like you simply have a...

Read Tesla's lawsuit in the link below, filed in a professional manner through normal legal channels. Musk is known for being highly principled and passionate about what he believes in (e.g. fighting all the media stories he deems false, often with personal lengthy, well thought out responses...

I think Elon would disagree based on his experience trying to "go about his business" of running Tesla and saving the world...;)

Yes, PPF does actually "self-heal". If the rock chip is so bad that it is not able to self-heal, most of the these PPF companies will replace the affected piece under warranty. If you want to know more, there are many threads on PPF with excellent info. I have the Suntek Ultra PPF on my front...

Sheltering in place... but just had a bath anyway!

I use 303 regularly on my Model 3 interior; dash, door panels, white seats, etc. If you are getting streaks when using it that means that you are using to much and then it drys, leaving "streaks". Read the directions on the back of the 303 spray bottle, it talks about "streaking" as being...

Thanks!

Thanks!

No wonder I couldn't seem to find it anywhere!

I'm curious as to what the sales figures are for the different versions of Model 3. I have googled it, but perhaps I'm not using the right phrase in the search bar? Does the Model 3 SR+ outsell the Long Range version, or vice versa? What are the actual sales figures for last year on these two...

The McDonald's Rock N Roll Car Show, scheduled tomorrow, September 21st, from 4-8pm at the Pavilions in Scottsdale, AZ has over 80 electric cars registered to show, of which about 40 are Teslas, and 26 of these are Model 3's! The Electric cars are registered through Phoenix Electric Auto...

To be more specific I have a model 3SR plus and I am using the mobile connector that came with the car plugged into 14-50 NEMA outlet on a 50 amp circuit. So my car usually charges @ 32 amps. Hopefully I got all the terminology right . Thanks for the helpful reply!

Thanks!! That answers my question.

I have a Model 3 and charge at home. I know that when charging, as the battery gets closer to 100% it takes longer to charge, e.g. going from 80% charge to 100% takes a lot longer then, say, from 40% to 60%. My question is does this mean that it will also take more electricity to go from 80%...

I just signed up too. Would love to chat with other Tesla owners AND owners of other electric vehicles.

20% is correct!

So when the registration comes due the the SECOND time after five years owning the Tesla I just bought, am I "grandfathered" in at the original registration rate, or does it go up to the new rate? It looks to me like the registration rate stays the same as long as I own the car. And if I sell...

I was unaware of this. Do any other states do this yet?

Watch this video on YouTube. It is not the normal YouTube fare in my opinion, but is very well done, just a little over 8 minutes long. It will put your mind at ease about a lot of battery related questions

Well, now that your on a roll the next step is to start a You-Tube channel;).

Got mine today. Overall I am happy with it for the price. It did not ship in a box so it was a little wrinkled (see pics), but it is a sub-trunk liner so I don't really care. It is about 6" tall in the back. It is relatively thin, flexible plastic though I don't feel that is necessarily...

This is a blanket statement, and blanket statements are usually foolish at best. At least it is stated as part of an opinion rather then fact. In contrast to the first quoted post above, this one is much more forward thinking. After 3+ years on this forum, this is the first time I have ever...

This is a 100% correct answer. One benefit of this is that a demo, which is classified as new because it has never been sold and therefore never been titled, is eligible for all federal and state rebates that apply to new car sales. Every dealership in the U.S. must play by these same rules. All...

Me too, and this high insurance factor was one of the main reasons I quit looking at used Model S's and bought a new Model 3

Ordered this one today, it looks like it comes about 1/3 or 1/2 way up the sides. I don't need a deep one, or one with handles. Estimated shipping time: one month. Will let you know what I think once I take delivery.

For me, the first time I drove one, I pulled up to a stoplight and it was perfectly still and quiet inside. Even though I knew this would be the case, experiencing it was a revelation to me. My previous car was a Mercedes C250. It was very quiet, and sitting at a stoplight I could not hear...

After reading several other posts on this thread of people having problems with Chademo chargers, and seeing pictures of straps being tied around trunk hinges and holding up charging adaptors, I would have to disagree that this is "no more difficult to understand than grabbing the right hose at...
