    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    Okay, a little more slope, but still mV are being measured. Just swagging, 0.2V for 20% in the middle. 10mV per percent.

    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    You are mixing apples and oranges. The new speed control is what is handling the speed, it's brand new and needs some tuning. Previously and if you turn it off, the car follows too closely. AT 75 mph, it stays back maybe 3 car lengths, way too short. And I'm sorry, but leaving enough space for...

    Charging Limited after Update

    Supercharging doesn't use the onboard chargers, The onboard chargers are the AC to DC converters, Superchargers charge DC to DC. It needs to be another L2 site, destination charger, J-1772, NEMA 15-50 to validate.

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    Not sure why it's not scientific, that's the one thing that it actually is. It's collected under very specific situations and should be accurate in those situations. Yea, other automakers really don't collect and publish that that type of data, but Tesla does compare it against the best data...

    Solar Powered Tonneau Back Bed Cover

    You need to review a few courses on how solar panels work. There really is no magic solution, unless the cells can raise and reorient themselves. Go take a look at the Aptera. They had to design to a ridiculous 0.13 CoD to get their range Vehicle | Aptera AFAIK, there is absolutely no...

    Full FSD Free Trial: Why I'd never buy it . . . ever.

    Let's see what happens in the future where your reaction times start getting longer, vision starts going away and you can't see anything after dusk. You seem to expect FSD to be perfect, it's not even released yet, and still has a few releases before it will be. It is expected that you monitor...

    Charging Limited after Update

    It's now showing 24/24? Or is it 24/48? While I hope not, it may represent failure in one of the charging units. See if you can find another L2 with more than 24A charging and see if the problem exists.

    I think that it has happened to a few people in the last year. AFAIK, it clears with the next update.

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    It depends. People try to measure Insurance as if was Apples to Apples, it's far from it. Different people, different histories, different vehicles, different ages, different cities all make big differences.

    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    I am getting your point. Even mA impact the voltage. Sure, it may not be much, but that's indeed what you are measuring with the BMS, mV. BMS doesn't have to guess going from 100-0%, it can measure the current and make a determination. Now of course that it going to be off a little. But then...

    Thesis and Poll - Long TSLA Short auto insurance

    First, you don't state the term on you poll? Month? Quarter? Yearly? "Tetonic shifts" don't occur in 2 months, the length of time 12.X has bee widely available. You pay $101/month and don't see that the max value of FSD could be more? Much more? I guess you don't value your life much. I know...

    Forming an LLC (or S Corp) to lease (yes, lease)

    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    Dou you not know that when stopped for traffic lights that the computer is still powered up, tail lights are on, A/C is on? When millivolts are what you are measuring to determine capacity, millivolts matter. Plus the simple answer, WHY do you need to?

    FSD on older Model3s

    2024.8.9 means that your car snuck in and get new releases that many of us didn't have. But because of that, you are on a branch that doesn't have FSD 12. It will get there, just may take time. That happened because you didn't have FSD and you weren't held back on a 2023 release branch for...

    Is this normal or they will denied

    All I can say at this point is that they added taxes to my Cybertruck cost and that made me have to redo financing. I had to go through all of the questions again. And then I had to wait for the results before I could approve it. I was worried that it was going to impact my delivery. Les than...

    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    You are half right. Yes, the gauges used in cars are notoriously inaccurate. How can a fluid height sensor in a tank of liquid sloshing around be anywhere near correct. But then there are fuel flow measuring devices that are really accurate. And there's even the ability to measure the fuel...

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    One would tend to equate "hurt" and "harm" Are you harming a battery by owning one? Of course not. Just owning a battery and letting it age will decrease the capacity. There is a report on long term 100% charge storage, If I remember correctly, the degradation over a year was 7%. BUT 3-4% of...

    FSD Price refund

    And if you do more than look at titles, those reports come back to Consumer Reports. And if you look a the details of the report, you'll find that 90+% of the "reliability" is in the initial delivery, fit and finish. Most people have no idea why Consumer Reports puts fit and finish in their...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    You are probably within a year or two of paying off the car. You are happy with it and there's not that much difference in the new model. Sit in one and list the differences. Would you pay $29k for them?

    FSD on older Model3s

    Sure, it's awesome. I don't think that the higher resolution new cameras are actually there for the higher resolution, I suspect that they are there for better nighttime viewing. Higher resolution is actually a problem for computing, it takes exponentially more compute power to process the...

    Side mirror malfunction after car wash

    Good, then they really have little reason to even think about disallowing the warranty coverage. You may see a price quoted on the repair, they just do that.

    This Latest Attempt to Force FSD Upon Everyone is Hurting the FSD Cause More Than Helping

    You may try cleaning your cameras, could be a small obstruction. For me, the degradation message has been around for a long time, it even appears on dark nights and empty highways. Basically the car seems to think that something is broke if the camera's view is just black. And it indeed pops up...

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    Do you have any idea how much degradation that you get when you charge and let it sit for hours, days, weeks? The studies out there says that's it's about 3% OVER A YEAR. That doesn't mean charging to 100% and driving every day, that means charging to 100% and leaving it there for a YEAR...

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    If you have an unlimited budget, then why not get both. If you have a limited budget, then how limited is it and is it really a good idea to switch vehicles yearly. Don't compare fit and finish, the vast majority of Tesla have great fit and finish. Don't not list Thrilling acceleration for...

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    I am quite familiar with AAKEE, and you are not quoting his recommendations correctly. Going over 50-54% doesn't harm the battery. But AAKEE recommends setting daily charging to that range. His information suggests that those number provide the lowest degradation over a number of years. And...

    Can’t add card for Charging Payment

    You said you are using Ukrainian cards. They are possibly not accepted by the clearinghouse that Tesla uses. It doesn't appear as if Tesla supports vehicles in the Ukraine yet. You may want to get a friend that has a non-Ukraine car/bank to put theirs in and pay them back.

    2020 or 2021 model 3 payload/scrapping bottom and bike rack question

    The Model 3 in the US doesn't support towing or a hitch, it's really stupid and yes, there is a variety of third party solutions. The Model 3, as I think all Tesla has plastic shields on the bottom to optimize airflow. So depending on how you bottom out, it may be on this thick plastic plate...

    Solar Powered Tonneau Back Bed Cover

    I don't expect that it will ever be offered. Rolling it around like the tonneau cover is rough on any electronics/cabling. And while you may be able to get that much, you have to follow some requirements to do so, like park facing to the North in areas where it is not shaded. And be at specific...

    FSD experience

    Go read the details on the Mercedes L3 product. Lots of little bitty nit-picking restrictions. Like only on specific roads, only up to 45 mph, only when following another car.

    Model Y or 3 Highland?

    Stop listening to the FUD about build quality. The vast majority of people have no issues and love the build quality. the Model 3 and Model Y are very similar cars and built on very similar lines, so very similar build qualities. The Model 3 is a great car. My early 2018 Model 3 had no build...

    Can you provide a source of your information on this? It definitely goes against Tesla's recommendations. Tesla indicates that it okay to charge to 100% for trips.

    Are you satisfied with the range you get?

    Why do you say that charging more often makes the trip more expensive? The number of kWh used is exactly the same. Larger batteries mean longer charging times. Degradation is only about 10%, so that's not a huge issue. Nor is it an issue with my 6-year-old Model 3.

    Do I have to buy and carry extra charger in the car for long trips?

    How are your accessories wired in and how much to they draw? It could be possible that the car can't keep up with them. Since they evidently stay on, that suggested that they are wired where the car can't really see them. A 12V battery doesn't like going to 0. From my experience, you get about...
