    Quite disappointment with my new Model 3's range. Should I be?

    Your usage is slightly above mine but I have the RWD long range that is more efficient than the AWD long range so that makes sense. I don’t see an issue with your car, driving at 65-70 mph will result in less range than the EPA estimate, as can may other variables this applies to all cars not...

    NOA with 2.5 hardware

    I have a model 3 with HW2.5 and it camps in the passing lane, it’s gotten rather annoying.

    No longer check blindspot?

    I check my blind spots but I have to admit the car is Very good at it at night it’s sometimes better than me. I was driving a 3 lane interstate in the seventeenth lane using Navigate on autopilot it indicated it was merging left to pass slower traffic. I checked the blind spot and saw it as...

    What's going on in Sandusky, OH?

    Not sure the listing is removed from PlugShare but still listed by Tesla. Maybe leftover fencing from laying new blacktop it looks fresh?

    Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV (High Roller at LINQ)

    This would be perfect but you would need a backup option because if I remember correctly new model 3’s don’t come with home lonk hardware installed.

    I3 Road Rage.

    Looks like someone took the BMW driver classes... I would probably have reported him that was reckless at the end either that or I wouldn’t have let him pass me like that.

    any reason not to do a lease?

    I put more than double the miles on my Tesla in the last year than I put on my ICE car the last year I owned it. So 12K miles per year wouldn’t cover me and my commute less than 2 miles.

    Range in Phoenix summer with heavy AC use? Standard Mileage Plus ...

    I wouldn’t worry about running the AC as the power to run the AC is insignificant compared with running the heat. I have a long range RWD I often get rated range 310 miles in heat over 100 degrees with speeds around 70 mph. You will Likely get better than rated range if you spend a lot of...

    Is the current NoA helpful or harmful?

    I drive 200-300 miles a day in a work truck the number of human drivers I see performing unsafe maneuvers is staggering. People pass on the right all the time sometimes even passing in exit or entrance ramps. The people who tested this for CR must live in a utopia where everyone follows the...

    Supercharger - Rolling Meadows, IL

    Just charged here today and wanted to share something. Be on the lookout for a white male probably in his mid 40s driving a tan Honda Accord. My wife and I pulled into a stall 2A I think and he came flying into the lot nearly hit our car and proceeded to park at a stall two over from us...

    Don’t think much of these new stall designs

    I love stalls like this it prevents my biggest fear on road trips, having all stalls iced and being stranded. (Never has happened but a fear all the same)

    Buying a Tesla Model 3 AWD - advise needed

    I am a Long range RWD owner living in southern Wisconsin. The performance of my car is plenty, I feel like if it was faster I would get myself in trouble. The performance in the snow is fine on the stock 18 it could be better but I have owned cars that handle much much worse. Make sure you...

    Wife is afraid to use frunk

    Not that I recommend or promise the same results but I use my frunk all the time and close it with one hand, I just push down on the T logo... my wife just kinda slams it no problems so far. I think we would have an issue if I closed it from the far left or right, it takes some force to close...

    Really old house from 1800s plausability to only use superchargers?

    Home charging is the easiest and least expensive (from a cost per KWH) perspective. Unless you live or frequently go to a place near a supercharger and buy a used s or x that include free supercharging for life of course...

    Had a SR+ for 7 days, returned it!

    Sounds like something relating to your car, I have a screen reboot issue maybe once a month. I think you made the right call returning it and I would order another one once they refund the first one personally. Sounds like your first one had a hardware problem.

    Which one to buy RWD or AWD

    I live in southern Wisconsin and have the long range RWD model 3 with stock 18 I had no real problems in the snow and ice it preformed well enough for me.

    2500 mile round trip AWD ... findings

    I made a road trip a few weeks after I picked up my model 3 long range RWD it was almost exactly 1,000 miles I spent almost exactly 1.5 hours charging. It was broken into 6 15 min stops I would target arriving at the next super charger with 5-7 percent and leave as soon as I had enough charge...

    Wow!!

    Same when I reserved the model 3 my wife called me crazy, now it’s the only car she wants to drive. I also love driving it but auto pilot is so nice to have on long stretches of highway, high cross winds, and heavy traffic. The car is fun to drive but driving isn’t always fun.

    Is it possible to watch videos in your Tesla

    Yes it can be hacked to play YouTube or anything really. Tesla owner hacks Model 3 and plays Youtube videos But it won’t do it stock, fun fact the model 3 Screen is almost exactly the same resolution of a 1080P tv if you exclude the black menu bar at the bottom. Speculation, I believe they...

    Supercharger v3 - Live Wednesday 03/06

    My guess is no, I believe urban chargers are designed to safely charge the cars everyday and the faster 200 KW will be recommend only while traveling and or infrequent charging. Just my guess.

    Model 3 - Preheat battery - Winter Range Concerns

    I own a model 3 in southern Wisconsin. The range lost in the cold is mostly on short drives, on long highway (70-80 mph) drives with a preheated car it is much less noticeable in my experience about 15-20 percent. When I really notice the range hit is out shopping, short 2-3 mile drives...

    Model 3 seats are horrible compromise decision

    Black interior model 3 I have over 9,000 miles including two separate trips of 2,000 + miles (did 1,000 miles each day) I can confirm after A 15 1/2 hour day of driving the car I had zero complaints. (About the seat or the car in general)

    Road trip. Thinking of renting a car?

    Just made a 1,000 mile road trip in our model 3 RWD. Short answer is I wouldn’t make this trip any other way ICE car or even flying. The trip was almost exactly 1,000 miles it is 14 hours cannon ball run style in an ICE car and was 15 1/2 hours in our model 3. We made 6 stops 15 min each...

    Would the typical Corvette Driver recognize a Performance M3?

    From the side and the front it’s probably an unfamiliar car, most “high performance” ICE cars will only see the mode 3 performance as a distant tail light, or perhaps a blur of light passing... In all seriousness you probably won’t encounter many people who want to race a Tesla everyone who...

    Model 3 charging

    I will chime in on this... in the winter months before the car can charge it must first heat the battery, the 120 volt outlet will not provide enough power to heat the pack in sub zero temperature. This will result in an inability to charge when you need it most, as EV’s use more energy in the...

    Highway range @ 80 mph?

    Well s well said, did the exact same thing on our 1,000 mile 15.5 hour drive the other day... it’s almost exactly 14 hours in our old gas car but we didn’t arrive home in pain and exhaustion... it was eye opening how muscly different it was in a good way, we have two more long trips planned...

    My evolving thoughts on autopilot

    My wife and I just returned from a 2,000+ mile road trip, we used autopilot on 99 percent of the interstate drive. This included 150 miles of light to medium rain and 50 miles of rain so intense I struggled to make out the lines and the cars ahead of us. (30-40 mph). Auto pilot handled it all...

    thoughts on my first road trip with the model 3

    I respectfully disagree when it comes to model 3 at least, I just completed a 1,000 mile 1 day road trip. Denver CO to southern Wisconsin. Tesla nav said it would require 19 hours we cut it in 15.5 hours. The key is to hit every super charger with an arrival SOC 5-10 percent and never stay...
