    Towed with 20 MYP today = abysmal

    Tow our Alto trailer with our Y, get 225km to 250km range depending on wind and hiils, easy to get to the next super charger, charge overnight in camp grounds, works for us on long trips. Our Outback lost about 40% of its range therefore very close in range loss.

    Thanks If I can wait 2+ years for the car, waiting 2-3 years for the wood to match is OK with me. Even thought the house structures wood looks worn just below the surface the wood is still white. Would have been imposable to match and if I tried 2-3 years from now it would not match. Caught me...

    Issues with 110v gfic outlets

    How many people are hurt, poisoned and die, collecting resources, manufacturing and installing GFI outlets compared to the number of people they help? Always wanted to know if its less or more? Or are they false security and just a cash cow?

    Not getting paint protection film for your Model 3?

    Always keep a car 15 to 20 years, have found that a layer of dirt shields the paint from all kinds of damage and makes it less likely to be stolen. Rain always gives it a good wash plus a hand wash with soap once a year.

    Model 3 Backup Camera Sucks

    There's an incredible image processing system between your ears, it takes care of anything lacking in the 3 backup camera. Also its just a backup camera only used 0.1% of your driving time, no need to be able to shot 4K movies with it.

    Did Tesla make a weirdmobile? Comparison 3 BMW 3 dash

    Like the M3 dash with the center screen, no need for all the lights buttons and switches, there just distractions, clutter and fluff. Mounted an iPad in our Outback for a road trip. After 4 months and a 17K kilometres road trip it just works.

    Have a 2004 Toyota Echo with center instruments, never been a problem, only took long enough to get out of the dealer parking lot for it to be second nature.

    Center Stack Touchscreen Speculation -- Adjustable?

    I very much like the centre screen. Drive a 2004 Toyto Echo with a centre instrument cluster, got used to it seconds into a test drive, don't need the clutter just below my line of sight. Hope Tesla leaves like the prototype cars.

    Model 3 Deal Breaker

    Coming from a Toyota Echo with center instruments impressed by minimum clutter in my face, never liked all the lights buttons and switches in front of me always a distraction. Besides a electric car opens up new possibilities, so we should not be trapped by the ideas of the past.
