    How are Europeans liking Model 3?

    I'm from Portugal and I got my model 3 about two weeks ago and the car is amazing! They're selling like hot cakes here.

    2015 MS 90D VS 2016.5 90D

    If they are both 90D you should get more or less the same range. Why do you get 30 more miles with one of them? Battery degradation? I believe the easier way to get more details is to search which improvements came with the facelift. I believe Led adaptative lights and automatic charging port...

    Considering used S 90D, but battery concerns

    I supercharge 4 times a week average, a lot more than my friends does. The fact that my battery is the last generation of the 90kw pack is probably the reason why my battery is not being throtlled. I assume its also degrading less that my friends pack, but I cannot know for sure.

    Considering used S 90D, but battery concerns

    Is it facelift or pre-facelift? I have the last version of the 90D and it still charges at 112kw after 60k miles but a friend of mine has a 90D pre facelift that kept losing the max charge at the superchargers and now does not go higher than 98kw.

    3 LR AWD vs. Model S 100D vs 3P (performance differences)

    I was looking for a thread like this. I have a S90D and the 3 will be a second car. I bought the P and I just confirmed I made the right choice. Im also from Europe, expecting to receive the car in February.

    Would you pay *dearly* to have ZERO nag?

    I have paid a dollar for a bottle of water. More than 20.000 miles with zero nags. Since I don't have to spend most of my driving looking for nags on the dashboard, i am a lot more aware of my surroundings when I'm driving.

    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    The most important thing when you drive is visual awareness, not the hands on the wheel. This 20 second rule fails for two reasons: 1- if you're distracted but still holding the wheel, your car will assume you're aware and not display any alarms. Before that at least when you were not holding...

    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    Well, I never had to do it before this 20 second rule. This says a lot about how great Tesla has improved the product. We are just being victims of Tesla because of public pressure. I'm pretty sure at some point when auto radios where introduced in the market there were some people saying they...

    Hold Steering Wheel every 20-25 seconds?

    I just put a small water bottle at 9 o'clock on the wheel. Works like a charm. No nags at all. This whole "grab the wheel" is just stupid. You can have a normal car and choose to make you whole trip playing with the radio buttons and you're not blaming the radio manufacturer when you have an...

    90D time for fixes or lawsuits

    What's your 90%? 10% degradation is too much for any mileage I guess...

    Model S range and interior update imminent?

    I don't think we will have a S/X update this year for 2 reasons. First because model 3 is ramping up, and second and most important because Tesla knows they can't match build quality with legacy automakers, so they will let them start producing the first wave of long range electric cars and then...

    Would you rather...2017 Inventory MS 75D or Used Panamera 4S

    I traded a Panamera for my 90D and sold it to my mother. Sometimes I drive it, and there's no way I would switch back. The screen size is tiny and the gears feels now like something that belongs to the past. IMO Panamera beats model S only in driving position and interior quality.

    Automatic emergency braking

    My model S has 20.000km and for the first time this weekend I had an AEB experience, despite hearing those "alerts" several times. The car in front on me stopped suddently and i used all the margin I had because I was looking at the mirror to check that the car driving behind me was going to...

    16,5kw charger

    Hey guys, Most of our cars have 11kw and we had to pay a fee to upgrade for the 16,5kw... Now that is comes standard with 16,5kw I was wondering if SC will still charge the 1500$. I'd call and make this question myself but there's is no Tesla service in Portugal...

    car needs service power reduced (newbie)

    From Portugal, 12000 miles and so far no problems. Closest SC is more than a 1000 miles, I can only pray. ☺️

    Horrible Leather Dash Creases/Cracks

    I have a refreshed 90D with Grey next gen seats, produced in June. Seats are great and the leather is holding up like in any other car. But a month ago I was inside an inventory X90D with premium ventilated seats and 4k miles and the seats were in a very bad shape, really creased. At the time I...

    Best Tesla Apps/Tweaks

    Visibletesla is the only app so far that allows me to set a stopping time for charging, so I can avoid peak hours. The UI is basic but this functionality is a must have for me.

    Parking at the Airport for a week (60D) - range loss?

    Parking at the Airport for a week (60D) - range loss?

    Hi, I have a question that fits in this thread and perhaps someone can help me. Sometimes my car sits the whole weekend parked at the garage, so It has 404km on friday (my 90%) but on monday it's only 390km (due to vampire drain), but it still says charging complete. Will the car keep droping...

    worst fears - need comfort

    I'm 32 and I had 3 brand new cars before the my MS (delivered in September), one Audi and 2 Porsches. The Audi had an engine replacement at 15000km, the Porsche Boxter had an exhaust problem that left me on foot on the highway during the first year and the Panamera had a steer problem also on...

    Predictions: Model S 2017 luxury improvements

    Although aesthetically pleasing, I believe that Model S will never be a truly silent car before they put some kind of frame on the windows. At least on my Model S that's where most wind noise comes in. I find myself often clicking to close the windows because theres so much wind noise. Does this...

    Realistic range...it would be great if it was more accurate

    I agree with you, I have the same problem. Since I got the car i've been trying to realise how many km I can actually make. I have 452 at 100%, but I believe I can only make 350km. I don't know what typical is suposed to mean, but certainly it does not take into account my driving style.

    [Poll] - are you mad that your new Tesla just missed Autopilot 2.0?

    For all of you who are sad about not having a discount... I am from Portugal and I thought about buying a model S in May... Since there's no Tesla service or store in Portugal I had to rent one in Austria, and I paid 1000€ for a 3 day P90DL rental just to test drive it and be sure the car was...

    EU finalize and deliveries

    Mine was confirmed on the 28th of June and it's going to be ready for pickup tomorrow (Tilburg). It will take 3 months total, since it still has to come to Portugal. I believe they make one big shipment to EU per quarter. Most EU cars being delivered now were built between 14th and 20th of July...

    EU finalize and deliveries

    I do not know the exact day when production started, but I know that on the 22nd of July the status of my car was "in transit". I´m assuming production would have been a week before, more or less. Last week Zeev told me car order was still on "late August/September delivery". By now I should...

    EU finalize and deliveries

    Great choice! Mine is a 90D with pano roof, autopilot, premium pack, premium sound and gray NG seats. :) I should not have used a trader, but this is a company car and a Portuguese dealership had to be in the equation due to leasing purposes. The worst part is that I do not have access to...

    Jaro73, I only found the message feature later, so I copied the text! :) Many thanks for your reply! I don´t have a DS, all I have is the Late Aug-September delivery because the dealership sent a print screen to me! I was hoping the delivery would be a lot sooner, since the production was so...

    EU finalize and deliveries

    Jaro73 Any news regarding delivery from your DS? I bought my car through a Portuguese partner and I have very limited access to information, but your car was produced the same day as mine, so they should have made the journey together. Let me know any updates, please :)

    Do you know the date where your car ended production and left the factory? I'm starting to think that my Late August - September delivery is too good to be true! :(

    Great to find so many people in the same situation as me, waiting for EU deliveries!. I had my car confirmed on the 28th of June, but since I bought the car through a Portuguese partner of Tesla I cannot see any details unless I call them. Last update I had was the car being ready to start the...
