    Map not adjusting to scale local area

    Just recently my maps has not been dynamically updating to show a closer portion of map to where I am driving. As such, it is too zoomed out so that my car is driving in parts of the map without road. Prior it would zoom to those locations to show my car on the road based on how much stuff...

    Apps to Measure Battery Degradation and other analytical data

    Looking for some input for third party applications that can measure things like battery degradation, expected vs actual range, and other statistical data. Off hand I do not know know of any by name. I know of them, but that does not help when trying to find a reputable one.

    Realistic Timeline for 35k base Model 3

    Looking to start a conversation on whether the current production models, being the Model 3 with larger battery and upgraded trim, the Performance version, and the AWD drive of the larger battery/trim variant, are receiving enough demand to push back the introduction of the base 35k model. I am...

    Model 3 Supercharging

    My understanding was that the Model 3 receives no free supercharging, whether that be in the form of kwH credit or free visits, etc. As I presently cannot charge at my own home (my 15 amp outlets are not grounded, and I do not yet have a 30 amp hookup in garage until Thursday) my only recourse...

    Recommended 14-30 Outlets

    Perhaps I am just really bad at searching for 14-30rs, but the Amazon and Google results are completely full of RV wires and outlets. I am looking for an industrial grade 14-30r, preferably Amaonz Prime so I can get it quickly. I have only seen brand and type suggestions from Tesla for 50amp...

    Seems like I will be getting my Model 3 soon

    Got contacted by a delivery specialist today. Was told to apply for loans. When I replied I had asked some local banks for approvals, which I had months ago, was told I needed a VIN. Specialist responded with a VIN that she characterized as 'your VIN' for shopping around with. Anyone else...

    Tesla's path to luxury category domination may get easier, domestically

    Trump reportedly said he wants to stop German luxury car imports in the US The easiest way to dominate a category is have the others priced out. Likely this will lead to matching tariffs on US exports (so Tesla may not do so well in Europe). Of course all of this is moot if Tesla cannot meet...

    Percentage of People Deferring

    This is an important number for a late reservation holder like myself (August, 2016), as the reservation numbers certainly skew positively on March 31, 2016, and weened off to a trickle after the first several days of it being live. (For those who do not know what a positive skew is...

    How many Model 3s will it take to turn Superchargers into positive cashflow?

    The superchargers are presently an untapped revenue source. Nearly all Model S and Model X owners connect to these at no cost. This leads to a negative cash flow for Tesla, but it has great potential. Imagine a gas car manufacturer also selling the gas to their customers. This pass ends with...

    Rough Power Situation - Should I upgrade? Electric advice sought

    Presently, I live in a very small home, built in the 1970s. Unfortunately, this home only has a 100amp breaker box. On that box there is a switched off breaker for a 30amp outlet that used to be an in-wall air conditioner. Now the current air conditioning system is outside, and does not have a...

    Timeline of Crash Safety Testing

    I began truly following Tesla after Model S entered full scale production, so I am quite lacking of any concept of how long it took Tesla, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to rate the crash safety ratings of the Model S, or Model X, and to extrapolate those time...
