I have been driving my Model 3 without any issue for 14 months (17 k miles) now. The only work I did was to rotate tires at Costco. I now see that from the Tesla app, I can make service appointments. To give it a try, I used the app to make an appointment for windshield wiper fluid (which seems...

I was wondering if anyone figured out if the efficiency (Wh/mile) of model 3 depends on the charge level of the battery (everything else being equal)? I am asking because I track my mileage every month. So far this month I am getting 214 Wh/mile (after driving about 1200 miles). I generally...

I have driven my m3 for about 2000 miles so far (and loving every mile of it) with a cumulative energy efficiency of 230 Wh/mile. If the same car had a gasoline engine with a typical 35% thermal efficiency, 230 Wh/mile would translate to 50.7 mpg. That shows how impressive is Tesla's design as...
