    Did autopilot distance algorithm change lately?

    I too have the same two issues with AP. Selected '1' for the distance but the gap is too long. Accelerating from a stop is sloooow.

    Recommended Colorado body shops?

    Suggestions other than Tesla recommended places please...because they are too expensive and/or booked out for weeks/months out and won't perform simple and less costly repairs soon enough.

    I would like to know too...M3 Rear quarter panel dent from a parking lot incident. Hopefully it just needs PDR.

    Model 3 LR tire rotation?

    I took my M3 today to Discount Tire and they did exactly the way mentioned above. Manual lifts, 2 on each side. Guy was all smiles taking the car in and out and said "cool car".

    Software Update 2018.39.x (Version 9)

    I was averaging 215-220wh/m before this update. Now, I am averaging 275-290wh/m. No change in my driving habit. Same route. It can't be the outside Temp (about 25 degrees cooler) as I'm noticing higher wh/m reported as I'm driving.

    Loading error

    This happens to me everyday when I play a local radio station on Tunein and park my car overnight and then next morning, it would show 'Loading Error'. But after a minute, simply hit the refresh (anticlockwise arrow) and it will start streaming just fine.

    Lack of loaner cars?

    I have scheduled an appt with Littleton,CO next week for a bunch of issues (panel gaps, tail light condensation, motor noise, etc...) Hope they give me a Tesla loaner.

    Lifetime Wh/mi

    215wh/mile after 2000miles with a/c set to 72 and 70/30 highway/local driving on 18" aero wheel RWD. I was at 220wh/mile after 1000 miles so the range is certainly improving with my kind of driving... I'm hoping to see it go down to 200wh/mile by 5000 miles.

    food for thought: is tint worse for range?

    We in Northern Colorado have 100+ degrees on handful number of days. Winter is not as brutal as in parts of Northeast and Midwest so I decide not to tint my M3 just like my two of the three other cars. It definitely helps a bit during winter when inside is slightly warmer than a tinted interior...

    Rear quarter panel dent - Solution?

    I'm trying to see if PDR is an option before looking at the body/paint work option. Plus, I dont see myself in Durango for the foreseeable future. But thanks for the tip SageBrush.

    Rear quarter panel dent - Solution?

    The panel is made of steel. Also, one of the PDR guy said he has worked on Teslas before but this kind of PDR work requires the high voltage circuit to be disconnected before he would try and access the inside of the panel. Is he smoking or does he have a point?

    Rear quarter panel dent - Solution?

    I was involved in a parking lot accident at work which caused a dent to my passenger side rear panel and the other driver's insurance company closed the claim as both parties at-fault 50-50%. I asked a few places around Northern Colorado. Couple of dent removal shops say they can do PDR to...

    Why bother with final payment in advance?

    My delivery date is scheduled for 7/7 in Colorado. At my request, my ISA emailed me the final numbers on 6/22 and I already overnighted the cashiers check from my online only bank to their address in CA as mentioned on the pdf statement. Any difference can be paid by personal check as long as...

    @NoTDI, if you are so worried, could you just delay your delivery date by citing some reason and let that VIN be picked up by some one else?

    Hello fellow coloradoans, Do you plan to install NEMA 14-50 (for UMC) or WC? I got the following quotes from Smart Charge Amerca which is outrageous for a 80' run from panel to garage (actually measured at less than 50' wall to wall)... Install NEMA 14-50 plug @50A for UMC - $1400 Install WC...

    Got my Model 3 order invite, decided to wait

    @Joe, my advice to you is not to wait for SRB. There is no way you are going to get the $7500 if you wait for SRB. Not even $3750. $1875? maybe. Low temps in CO (nov-apr) is going to take off 25% or more from the range which means your 310 mile rated battery would only get you about 250miles or...

    Feeler for sale - 2016 MS75

    As a resident of Colorado, I would do the math slightly differently if it was available for sale in CO. 78K - 7500 fed tax credit - $5000 CO state tax credit - $1k referral - 19K mileage depreciation + 2K battery upgrade = 47.5K At least I can dream of finding one at this price...Good luck...

    Blog Model 3: Is The Long Range Battery Worth It?

    I was leaning towards SR with no PUP...After talking to a few folks, I've decided to go for LR with PUP. Sure, it costs an extra $14K. I am going to take loan for this difference in cost and pay it over 60 months. Turns out to be a couple of hundred per month.

    Tesla Q3 2017 Vehicle Deliveries and Production

    Looks like Tesla delivered more than 25,000 non-Model 3 cars this recent quarter. At this rate, it is only a matter of two quarters before hitting the 200K ceiling assuming they produce just a few thousand Model 3 cars in the next 6 months. In other words, April-June seems to be the quarter when...
