    Why did my range go up after parking?

    I haven’t seen this with my car before. I’m curious why it happened. This morning, I supercharged to 254 mile battery capacity. Drove home about 4 miles and the battery was at 250. So far so good. After about two hours, I get in the car to drive, and now the range says 256 miles. How did my...

    On-screen visualization of vehicle behind you

    A month or two ago, when cars stopped dancing on my screen, I started noticing that the on-screen visualization stopped showing the car right behind me in my lane, and occasionally the cars behind me in the adjacent lanes. I have HW 2.5, now on FW 2019.36.2.1, but this behavior started a couple...

    Lack of window down status

    Not that it is a big issue, but it would be nice if the Tesla phone app warns me that my windows are down when I remotely turn on the AC. Yesterday was a rather warm day here and I turned on the AC from the app. When I went to drive the car (parked in the garage), I realized that I had left all...

    2019.20.1

    I got 2019.20.1 about an hour ago. I live in CA and have h/w 2.5 with AP+FSD. I'm not in the early access program. I have no idea what's new in this firmware because I'm out of the country now. Release notes don't seem to show up in the phone app. But I still got a kick out of sitting on a couch...

    Wind noise with roof rack

    I have a question for those with Tesla Model 3 roof rack. I apologize if this question has already been answered elsewhere and I missed it. How much additional wind noise do you hear on highway driving with the roof rack installed (no load)? I know that is tough to quantify in words, but I'd...

    Poll – Do you use the volume control button on the screen?

    I guess the volume control button at the bottom right corner of the screen is for the front passenger to control volume. Does that button ever get used in your car?

    Germany tackles my Tesla pet peeve

    Tesla's promotion of "Price after gas savings" in its order page has been my pet peeve for a long time. I think it makes Tesla look less credible. Just read that Germany has forced Tesla to drop that line. Hope someday Tesla drops it everywhere. I think it is good for Tesla in the long run...

    If you didn't order EAP at $5K, would you buy AP+FSD for $5K now?

    We didn't opt for EAP when we bought the LR RWD late last year or after the 30-day EAP trial. We own a Volvo with "pilot-assist" (lane keeping, adaptive cruise, etc.). While Tesla EAP was somewhat better in keeping lanes, and offers a couple of more features, I was still a bit underwhelmed to...

    Tire rotation frequency and pattern

    I wasn't able to find any official recommendation from Tesla regarding tire rotation frequency and rotation pattern. I contacted their chat support this morning. Perhaps some of you will find it useful. [ME] Does Tesla have a recommendation for tire rotation frequency and tire rotation pattern...

    Anyone familiar with "Service required. Unable to charge." message?

    We had some serious rain in the SF bay area today and while I was driving on the highway in my Model 3 LR (a week old with about 150 miles) there was a little audio chime and a message on the screen that said "Service required. Unable to charge." (or something to that effect). The message stayed...

    I had a positive delivery experience today

    Our off-menu LR RWD was delivered at home in the SF bay area around 12:30pm today. Long story short, we are pleased. Long story... We had originally ordered an MR on 10/19 and switched to LR RWD on 11/16 when we thought perhaps the extra range of LR was worth the few thousand dollars more. Our...

    Have you ever been stranded due supercharger failure?

    We will soon have our first Tesla. It will be nice for my wife and I to be rid of range anxiety after driving other EVs for a few years now. We can drive pretty much anywhere with the support of the SC network. Looking forward to that freedom. But a thought occurred to me today. What if you are...

    Model 3 MR charges at 32 amp vs LR at 48 amp

    I just noticed on Tesla's site that the Model 3 Mid Range has a 32 amp onboard charger (same as the yet-to-be-released Standard Range) vs the Long Range that has a 48 amp charger. Full range of 310 miles on the LR would take about 7 hours to charge whereas 260 miles on the MR would take about 8...
