    What Percent is Your Tesla Charged to While at Home?

    No, not at all. People in ICE vehicles are quite clear ceramic coating is not required to operate their car. :)

    What Percent is Your Tesla Charged to While at Home?

    Like I said, to each their own and I enjoy it myself. However, many people out there have zero interest in overthinking their vehicle so I just don't want it to steer people in the wrong direction thinking it's required. Side note: I wonder what the overlap in the venn diagram is for people...

    What Percent is Your Tesla Charged to While at Home?

    To each their own and if people want to obsess over it so be it. My only concern is people might overhear people nerding out about getting the most out of or taking the super best care of their battery and think that's expected overhead of owning an EV and it's not.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    it's only a standard for Tesla on their performance models though. :) I don't hate the player though, they are just picking and choosing how to differentiate. Kinda like how they list performance acceleration with 18" LR range on a lot of things.

    I'm not sure madhouse even accurately depicts the Raleigh service center. Total S-show maybe but still doesn't accurately describe trying to get in and out of that place. lol

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    Agreed, but with the nuance that legacy auto leans on dealer network to hold that inventory. Tesla certainly has less buffer room as direct to consumer to get it off their books and really needs to get the demand thing right. So far it seems they are doing it quite well.

    Hard to believe it was a 70k car back then. At least I got to trade my free supercharging in for a 5k refund and got the 7500 tax credit.

    When you tap the button to wipe you are presented with 4 manual settings on the screen, along with off an auto. Those aren't sufficient?

    It's a slammed site for sure, parking is at a premium during the day.

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    Yes or no, just answer the question. Do you think that the fact Tesla launched their car with no rain sensor and no replacement of equal efficacy has been to the detriment of the experience of the consumer?

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    Here you go again. When you give a percentage is it a fact or isn't it? I took your percentage to mean an estimate which clearly mine is. Yours also is an estimate unless you have data that shows your 98%. Do you? Let me make this simple for you. Do you think that the fact Tesla launched...

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    You've supported nothing but made straw arguments. Sales are up so wipers must not be an issue! lol I've not stated your experience isn't real i'm simply stating that you take yours as factual when you have no data to back it up. Likewise, you take small bits of actual fact and pivot them to...

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    @Knightshade at least you own the fact you like to endlessly argue on the internet instead of accept points. Here i'll play your pedantic game :) Are you? Do you have wiper stats that show it's 98% effective as it would be or are you just guessing? Perhaps maybe it has to do with the fact...

    MASTER THREAD: Auto Wiper functionality, complaints, praise, etc.

    You're just making excuses. Of course they could get the data they need because it should have already started to wipe by the time the rain sensor activated wipe wipes the water away. It's a cost cutting measure at the detriment of the user experience, plain and simple. There is no way it's...

    Which they could have done WITH a rain sensor so everybody that has a car now doesn't have a crappy experience. Just unfortunate as it's by far the worst part about my car.

    I just want the wipers to work as well as any car with a rain sensor does. A small ask. I don't care if it requires 5 billion in nvidia cards to train it to notice rain, i just want it to work :)

    Does the highland LR have the option of acceleration boost?

    If you wan to "keep the range" just put smaller wheels on the performance. As of right nows design anyway, they would get the same range.

    Didn't carwow ask tesla directly about it and they confirmed it was a tire decision for increased range and reduced NVH. Aka top end traded for what they view, accurately, more people care about.

    Rotate the tires with one jack?

    tesla mobile jacks the whole car up by one of the two jack points. If there is one thing a tesla control arm doesn't need is any additional stress. :p

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    When the "model 2" comes out we will know if tesla was serious about 400v being just as good or if they were mostly just talking around the fact they have all the sunk cost in the 400v production lines. 800v isn't some silver bullet for all that ails you but just like going from 12v to 48v it...

    Hosting Tesla (Super)Charger, the offer and expense.

    Love this for most places although I do believe that hotels they are generally able to offer them free without non patrons taking that much advantage. That being said I'm sure everybody would gladly take more break even chargers than less free ones at hotels as overnight charging is a game...

    the gear reduction is lower, hence the car is geared taller. Exactly my point.
