    Tesla Trip meter is misleading the actual Wh/mi efficiency the car drives

    I have a 2018 MX 75D, which I've owned since September 2018. I am living in CA where the temperature never drops below freezing. In the trip meter, the average energy efficiency for Trip A and Trip B is 361 Wh/mi and 353 Wh/mi, respectively. Based on these numbers, the expected maximum miles...

    MX 75D Real world efficiency 400Wh/mile on highway

    Having driven the MX 75D (20inch wheel) for over 4 years, I have checked its average efficiency after 41K miles of driving. Based on the last 28K miles, EPA is 350wh/mile. But on the highway driving 70~75mph, I think the efficiency drops to 400wh/mile. For a long distance trip I need to charge...

    FSD HW2.5 to HW3.0 upgrade

    I have a 2018 model X with FSD. It's current HW is 2.5. I heard some people got the message from Tesla for HW3 upgrade, but I didn't get any message yet. Do I need to make an appointment for the upgrade?

    Why my 12v socket output voltage is 14.5V?

    Probably the cigarette connector included does voltage regulator job, but I have directly connected the dashcam to the wires from mirror mount. I am considering adding a voltage step down module between the wires.

    Why my 12v socket output voltage is 14.5V?

    Should I not worry about overcharging 12v battery? I guess 14.5v is max voltage for the battey. May be that is why I got 14.5v exactly.

    Why my 12v socket output voltage is 14.5V?

    My dashcam has stopped working, so I have checked the voltage of 12v outlet and found the voltage is 14.5v. Should I go to the service?

    Review of Honda Clarity Fuel Cell Vehicle (plus planned switch to Tesla)

    I have leased Clarity BEV last June. $200/month + $2500 incentive from CA, so I though it was a good deal. After a few months, I thought it is time to buy EV not a gasoline car. So I bought model X for my wife. I definitely recommend model X, but if model Y is available I would rather choose...

    Is this is a case for an autopilot failure?

    Autopilot was active while I was driving I-5 in LA. The truck was changing lanes to mine but autopilot didn't take action, so I took the control of the car. I have applied brake first (ABS was engaged), then steered to the left lane. Did I take the action too early, or autopilot has failed to...

    Tip for 3~4% Battery drain overnight.

    I was experiencing overnight battery drain from my Model X, and found the reason for the issue. I usually put my key fob next to the door to the garage, and that was the cause of the problem. After locating the key fob way from the door (10ft) the problem has disappeared. If you are experiencing...

    Is it normal to take more than 2 weeks of transit to CA?

    Thanks. It is good to hear that I am not alone. I am quite disappointed on Tesla's sales management system. This is 3rd time that my order and delivery managers were switched. Each time I call them a different person was assigned and couldn't follow up the issue.

I ordered the car June 30, and the order status was updated "in transit" status 2 weeks ago I was expecting the call from Tesla for delivery scheduling, but there was no contact for the last 2 weeks.

    Can I delay pick up schedule for 1-2 weeks?

    Finally I got the message that the car is in transit from the factory. My local store is near SF in CA. How long usually it take before ready for picking up the car? 1~2 weeks? Because I would not have the down payment money ready until the first week of September. I am wondering it is possible...

    What will be the actual wait time for the 6/31 order?

    What was the latest delivery waiting time? The manager told me end of Aug delivery, but not sure if I can really trust that. Ordered June 31 and just confirmed the design. 75D with white ex/creme interior. I saw Tesla making 1000 of X + S models per month.

    I made an order today. The manager told me that the interested will be locked even I get the car Aug. But actually I am not sure how. But I believe him. The rate was %2.99. Anyway I will search for if I can get a better rate as I have at least 2 months before the delivery.

    Is there seat difference btw 6 seats / 6 seats + console options?

    Thanks for the info and youtube. That was exactly what I have expected for the 7 seats! The sales agent I met today confirmed even twice that the seats does not move at all (back/foward/recline whatever) only fold forward. He seems pretty new. He is probably not trained properly yet. Today the...

    Auto loan should be ready when you order a Tesla? What is the current best rate?

    Thanks, that is a great info. I am in CA, but not sure Tesla loan money even in CA. They probably have partners here too. But I will check tomorrow. I think recently the rate has gone up to 3.5%, that is .5% up since I got an initial quote about 1 month ago. My concern is it may go up at least...

    Auto loan should be ready when you order a Tesla? What is the current best rate?

    Hi, Thanks for the explanation. Is that meaning I cannot lock the rate when I order the car? I think I should wait 2-3 months for the delivery, then I believe the rate might change at the delivery time when I need to loan arrangements. Because the rate is already 3.5% according to the web site.

    Auto loan should be ready when you order a Tesla? What is the current best rate?

    Hi, I may order model X today or tomorrow. I am not sure when I should prepare the auto loan? Probably not needed until the delivery of the vehicle but not sure. Another question is what is the best loan rate and where I can get the best one? My quick check up was around 3~3.5%. But I heard...
