Update after a 6500 mile road trip, covered in the blog referenced in my Member:About area, we can report that the efficiency gain was real. Maybe closer to 15% overall rather than 20%. Lots of 80MPH driving on that trip and crossed the continental divide six times. Efficiency averaged 226Wh/mi...

Update: Our ex-Hertz 2022 M3 RWD now has 82.5K on it, yes we drove 10K miles in just over a month ;-) mainly due to a 6500 mile road trip. More details in the blog linked off my profile/about. Shifting to Sailun eRange tires and 18" Aero wheels (from the stock 19's and no name tires) changed...

One common issue with the rental Teslas is people slamming the power liftgate/trunklid shut and messing up the power lift strut and bending the lid. We had all of that. Spending a couple hundred on replacing it didn't seem like fun. We got a 'semi-automatic' strut set from EV Annex for just over...

Sorry, buried that in the blog post and then forgot to provide a link Our $15K Ex-Hertz Tesla although I'm not sure I'm even allowed, guess we'll see. So "Ironman iMove Gen3" ...or... 'something generic that Hertz got for cheap'

At 75K mi. on the RWD LFP 2022 it says 258. Recurrent said 95. All the non-LFP 2021's (with the roughly the same miles) were Recurrent 92. Thus holding out for a late 2021 or any 2022 LFP seems like a good strategy. It's tje #1 reason I wasn't concerned about the miles on the car. Well, that...

Switched from 19" sport wheel with (new-ish) junk Hertz tires. Was surprised by the magnitude of the improvement, around 40 miles additional range. Maybe I missed it but I hadn't seen a recent post in which both the wheel swap to 18" Aeros and Sailun eRange happened at once. Moderators please...

So yeah, no post since 2017 but that's due to no Tesla news on my part. We did go through three Leaf leases and that worked well overall. However the topic here is that we did finally get our 2022 RWD M3 and it's been working great. Oregon has had almost no used Tesla inventory at the Hertz...
