The new P is also 10mm lower so it would most likely not get into our driveway. I'd have to lift it. And the tires are just risky if you do long road trips. On the other hand the new seats and suspension look good. The LR also charges a bit faster. We'll stay with our current LR order.

Another discouraging update. From April 25 to May 29 to June 7-30. LR red, white, photons The wait continues. At least others are getting white interiors. orderd 2/05

It says that Tesla is a major client.

My Shanghainese wife just read it and agrees with the comment which says that Tesla has cut the order for a major supplier by 30% not Tesla cutting their own production.

Our cars had some Michelin for range when we got them. Sucked in every other way. Got the AS pilot sport 4's as replacements. Much sharper handling and wet traction, not as good efficiency. Now have Hankook EV AS aftermarket. Better than the original Michelins but nowhere near the AS pilot...

Congratulations on the decision. I've been driving for more than 60 years, always had a sports car (Triumph, Porsche, C5), always manual shift. The first EV I drove was the first gen Volt. I was so taken by the smoothness and instant torque that I bought one within a few days. Ordered the Model...

Ordered 2/05 LE ultra red, white, 18" first edd - March-April Edd 2/13 March 16 to 31 Location So Cal Trying to hit before 3/31 to transfer FSD etc. Looks as though we may make it. Otherwise I'll cancel and eat $250

This site looks great but is not very functional. We visited it three times this week, coming in at 30 to 40% charge. The first time we got 250Kw as supposed to be. The second we got 150. The third time we got one connection that was offline and two others that were 72. The other site in the...

I was there a week ago and it was down at 8:30 in the morning. We went shopping at the market and when we came out around 10 it was operating and full of cars. So it may be intermittently operating. Strange, but the actual status at the time does show up in the car. Not a charger to rely on.

This is a very high usage site. Very! Neither taking it offline for low usage or adding magic docks to increase usage make any sense, but maybe we'll see. It leaves a big hole in the supercharger availability in the San Gabriel area. It's closure on Friday was a huge inconvenience for me as I...

Actually, after further observations it is clear that the issue isn't the MC's, but the outlet as has been suggested. Pulling the plug out and reseating it fixes the issue for awhile. Both of our MC's behave the same way.

Discoducky, you are perfect example of a Tesla fanboy with a closed mind in this statement. I too have found that stories in the NYT, the WP and LAT have shown shocking levels of prejudice and stupid anti-Tesla screeds, but this story is actually quite positive about Tesla and its approach to...

I think this must be correct. We have two early 2018 model 3's with FSD and hit the "button" on both of them. They have been stuck on 36.5.1 since then. This is in contrast to the past where we are usually early in any cycle of major releases. We have the premium connectivity and good wifi...

I have been getting the same error message and reduced charging on a 3 year old mobile connector that is used several times a week. Started happening a month or so ago. I have a second unused mobile connector and 14-50 adapter from our second model 3. Although the message indicates a problem...

I can't believe that you have a Tesla or have driven one extensively. If a supercharger site is being heavily used, the car will automatically set to 80% charge when plugged in. The owner can override this on the screen and go to whatever charge they want. We have done the OR and N California...

You may not consider them luxury vehicles but I do based on the features, not the buttons and leather. However, it does look as though Tesla is moving away from positioning them as luxury.

The decision to delete the passenger lumbar adjustment based on usage statistics is just dumb. Most of the cars are used for shorter trips often with only the driver, especially during the pandemic. Of course the passenger lumbar adjustment is rarely used. However, there are users like my wife...

I'm at 4500 on these tires. Overall, all usages but lots of freeway at 77 mph gives 291 wh/mile as compared to the 26,000 miles on the MXM4's giving 251. So about a 16% hit. Worse than I expected and thought initially. But the handling is great. Debating what to put on my wife's 3 when she needs...

Stop worrying and relax. No adapter is needed for Tesla destination chargers. Use plugshare to identify places with level 2 (Ji772) chargers as well as Tesla destination chargers. I assume that the little black cylindrical tesla to J1772 adapter still comes "free" with the Model Y. There are a...

About 13% less range after 4000 miles on the ps4 AS's on the 18" wheels.

Big thumbs up for staying at the Casa Blanca and charging there. Highly recommended.

Yes, you should get the PS AS 4"s if the MXM4's don't do it for you. The AS 4's are a big jump up in performance and a substantial hit in efficiency. I've got 50,000 miles or so on MXM4's on our two 3's on 18" wheels. i've got 3500 miles on the AS 4's on one of the cars. There is just no...

Just to restate, perhaps in a different way, what many have already said: When we got our first model 3 in April 2018, I was really impressed by the GUI that controlled everything. Whoever designed and programmed that really understood how to do a great user interface. Over time there were...

Yes, the wide range of temperature fluctuation around Santa Barbara, CA is well-known. I guess 2500 miles isn't enough in your eyes.

Recommended tires M3 Long Range, RWD See my reply in another thread after 2500 miles. Efficiency is about 8% or so less over a couple of freeway routes that I drive regularly. I'll put them on our second model 3 as soon as it needs tires. Handling is more important than efficiency for me, even...

I put the pilot sport AS4's on the 18" wheels on one of our LR RWD 3's about 2500 miles ago. The handling and braking feel a lot better than the stock MXM4's. The noise level is comparable depending on the pavement. At 42 psi I don't notice much difference in ride but I like a firmer ride. I...

Use voice command to set fan speed and temp without taking your eyes off the road or put the car in AP and look out of the corner of your eye. I have the right lens in my glasses corrected for slightly closer focus so I can easily read the screen.

I just put the stock size all season 4's (235/45) on 18" wheels on the silver LR RWD. Only 40 miles on them so I can't say anything meaningful about range. But, I love how much better they feel from the driver's perspective. Feels like a lot more grip and sharper responses to steering and...

Only to the extent that it reduces supercharger capacity for those who don't have charging at home or are transiting through the area. I imagine there are few S and X owners that don't have charging at their residences. But in my experience superchargers in more populous Ca areas tend to be...

Moderator note: This post, plus the five posts following, came from the Goleta, CA Supercharger thread. I've been by here a few times recently. Haven't seen the two handicap slots in use. Almost all the cars there are S's or X'x. So it's probably mostly just locals using their free...

I'm at 23 months on our first model 3 and just love it but there is one trivial thing that really irritates me. The gloss finish on the phone and USB compartment covers! It never looks good. I know it can be covered but really it was and is dumb to have it finished that way. Cheap I guess.

On the car issue, we've left our cars for up to 3 weeks without sentry mode in airport parking lots. The loss was roughly a percent a day though it varied wildly from day to day. This is at LAX so no temperature extremes. I can't imagine a week being any problem if you start with a reasonable...

As others have said, it depends on how comfortable you are giving Tesla 7K for something that is only partially functional now and may never reach its full potential. My wife and I each have an LR RWD with EAP and FSD. We wanted to get as much tech as possible to follow its development. We...

This should be clear. If you ordered before 7/1/2018 you should have "premium connectivity". If you ordered after that then there was a complimentary period before you need to subscribe. This was well advertised before 7/1/2018 and was a reason that we pushed the order for our second car forward...

Can one maintain the full stock ground clearance with the performance sport shocks? I have a driveway transition that is problematic for some LR AWD 3's but not for our LR RWD ones. It would be for one of the LR RWD cars.

Its good to hear/see that.

It's no longer shown on Plugshare either, though supercharge info still shows it.

Another sign of the changing times re EV's Here is a "tech article" paid for by Polestar on Huffpost: Ten Facts About Electric Cars You’ve Been Getting Wrong | HuffPost And its brand agnostic.

This is great news. I had ordered the dual motor because at my age I don't want to wait, but since we want it for trailer towing the greater range of the tri-motor would be much better. So I changed our order.

Just put in 2018 for the model year instead of 2019 and Tesla and the model 3 will show up.

I just took this "Survey". All they asked about were the entertainment features and smart summon not 10 overall. Nothing about the Sentry and dash cam improvements, NOA changes, or other significant stuff. Seems pretty silly that they would select those things which have less to do with actually...

No, I have the covercraft weather shield with the mesh panel over intake.

If I were you I'd just not pull the cover down over intake.

I just don't understand all these complaints of jerkiness with TACC, AP, and NOA. We have almost 30,000 miles on our two cars and drive with TACC and AP all the time and NOA on more lightly traveled routes and times. We don't use chill, do use mad max. But I think the critical difference is that...

Permit issued for Montecito site. 8 stalls. Apparently no construction yet. See supercharge.info

I have used mine every day since last Sept or so when I got it back. It is a Weathershield HP which is the only one I'd recommend. The Weathershield fabric is unique in the car cover world. It folds up into a compact package. It can be washed and dried in home or laundromat machines (really a...

As others have said, that's not right. Take it back to them. We had a windshield replaced without any such issues turning up.

Sorry to hear of your accident. However, the behavior you are showing looks nothing like I've ever seen EAP do in much more than 10,000 miles of usage on our cars. It really looks as though it wasn't on. If you had NOA enabled it might change lanes on its own but it would warn you. I suspect...

I agree with everyone who loves it. I tout it as one of the best "minor" features of the car. Any other car we have had has caused us to struggle constantly to get both of us comfortable. (And in both our first and 2nd gen volts it was impossible.) I like the wind in my face and she doesn't want...
