    Supercharger - Portland, ME

    Funny with no power x 4 days I charged there 2 days in a row which was excellent timing, another bonus I think there was no Supercharger Fee, I suppose first few weeks they are working out kinks or maybe I will see this show up soon. Anyone else charging for free?

    little concerned with cold weather

    I drive fast 70-75 in cold 0-10 degrees Slightly uphill to ski area in Maine It sucks range very fast Leave with “300 miles “drive 135 miles arrive 65 miles left so barely 200 miles Glad there is destination charger Suspect in summer could almost do round trip on one charge

    Most favorite part about driving the M3?

    Too Many to list but snow handling is awesome, (even in LR RWD with snow tires)

    Recommend to buy Model 3 in Minnesnowta? Or wait for probs to be fixed?

    You are in a pickle. On the one hand you want to encourage her and others to experience Tesla, on the other hand you are trying to avoid any glitches she might experience. In the end it would be best if she was convinced this was right for her, then she would 'own' anything that comes up that...

    Winter driving thoughts so far

    Model 3 LR RWD with all season on. Baby of a storm today in Maine, 3-4 inches but ice for am commute was initial surface looked scary but car is SOLID and heavy (prius is so light in comparison) This car is a beast. So rock solid, maybe a few baby fishtails on the ice but overall impressed. I...

    Any downside to home delivery of Model 3?

    Model 3 Home Delivery was my only option went great. Maine has no stores and I would have paid Maine and Mass taxes if I drove to pick up. Other than having to pay in full for a car then wait 5-7 days for delivery it went fine. Much easier than going to delivery center 2 hours away. I worked a...

    2018.12 for Model 3?

    Dumb, I am hoping they will update those of us too cheap for autopilot to convert to adaptive cruise............

    Those with RWD cars, how'd it handle the ice storm?

    Dont forget JEEP, though I loved my blue cherokee FWD, a beast in the snow

    2018.12 for Model 3?

    I had the update last night one week after getting car Great news , I dont have autopilot but to be able to use scroll button for up down Cruise control is much better

    Those with RWD cars, how'd it handle the ice storm?

    Ice storm sucked, but not in my 6 day old stock tire (not my usual studded snow) Model 3 RWD. Getting into car: Turned on climate control from lobby of hotel Car was outside in 20 degree F weather overnight with freezing rain not plugged in. All ICE drivers hacking away front and back. Model 3...

    Quick help regarding Supercharging

    Not sure about his issue but I was told that the Car transfer to owners is not immediate, it takes a while for the mother ship to finalize the transfer of owner data to ELON's Lair. Likely this 'lag' time would explain the "free" supercharging. I am having trouble using phone as key and my car...

    Supercharger - Hartford, CT

    We often stay at Marriot downtown so this would be a quick walk for a charge, its just nice to have an option right in town. And as others have said, maybe you, its nice to get the NAME out there , its real close to the state house, so people can see Tesla is in Manchester West Hartford and...

    Adding Autopilot to Model 3 configure:EZ or not?

    Yeah 5K is a lot of money Great information thanks everyone. Thanks that is good to know we can add it before shipping. Level 4 would be great, I was going to get it for the stop and go traffic but honestly not a lot of that where I live (yet).

    Adding Autopilot to Model 3 configure:EZ or not?

    Have taken plunge and ordered Model 3 rear wheel long range with Premium upgrades. I decided to NOT order AUTOPILOT, and have a VIN assigned, delivery in 2-3 weeks. Can I change my mind and ask Tesla to flip the autopilot switch and if so when? Going back and forth on Saving 5K for autopilot...

    New Model 3 Delivery

    Congrats! Sounds like you love it. I am very anxious for mine to be delivered (in line non owner, configured last week) general question. I ordered Model 3 without Autopilot, having second thoughts, Am I locked out? Or can I change my mind before they ship that sucker east? I will ask my...

    Cold Soaked Tesla w/ trickle charge

    As many on this forum , patiently waiting for Model 3 Asking fellow skiers who own Model S about trickle charge. Impossible to secure garage at most resorts for car but sometimes Ive been able to trickle charge my Volt. Adds tiny amount of range which is not the issue. Wondering about leaving...

    Supercharger - Hadley, MA

    Route 9 is gateway to Berkshires! Haha, seriously though Pike/91 is faster easier much more convenient when in a rush but in a hypothetical roadster on a summer day,Route 9/202/route 2 is a nice ride, heck I liked in a PRIUS!

    Supercharger - Fredericksburg, VA

    Agreed. Pedestrians are frowned upon in most of USA. Its called the built environment. Think Copenhagen with bike lanes , pedestrian friendly vs. most of American suburban life. Rather than focusing on food, I think after a 3 hour drive Tesla should have Tesla healthclubs, go do a workout, be...

    Agreed; The gas world is something I will not miss once MODEL 3 gets to east coasters! Missing my VOLT, today was driving Prius , parked to unload sand on snow ice covered driveway. I left car "on" like would with volt with hatch open, got back in car and choked on all the FF waste in my lungs...

    Supercharger - Clinton Corners, NY

    I admit it going to be nitpicking here but looks like it is not off a highway but off the Parkway or the Taconic, which is a great drive and should be fun in an S X 3 or Roadster2 (dreaming) !

    It is in this thread on page 4 ! Or maybe it was in related coverage on PPH website... Yes I would think they would 6-8 stalls both northbound and southbound VERY busy road on summer weekends.....

    Press Herald article notes we will have I 95 Kennebunk Rest stop as another Supercharger location in near future as well. It is an embarrassment of riches!
