I can no longer afford this truck. I also have the invite. Reach out to me privately and I can work to see if I can transfer the invite to you? At least someone will benefit- who loves a Tesla.

In Texas at least, both regular lead acid and Li ion battery’s last about 2 years before needing replacement. so back to regular lead acid for me. I am assuming our hi temperatures may have something to do with this but not sure. Ohmmu has terrible customer service so that also contributed to my...

Did I miss the dimensions ?

They did and said it was good. was raised in Detroit, so just could not believe that oil did not need to be changed. Now I believe that it can go longer than 100K without problem

2018 Performance; 110K. 5th set of tiers both inner and outer control arms on both sides in the front 12 volt battery about 285 @ 100% charge insisted they change the gear oil in rear@ 100K - they had to special order the filter - the oil was very black but lubricity of oil was good. no other...

XPell now has a “thicker” film it is 10 microns thick vs the older 8 microns. I have put about 100,000 miles on my model 3, with the PPF. it is absolutely worth it. on the front get 2 layers of the ppf if you do a lot of highway driving.

I have just about 95K miles on a 2018 P3D+ —> 311 wh/mile average over the 95 K miles. Legal speed limit in some parts of Austin is 85. I try to keep up with the traffic so add 5 to that. 85% of my drive is highway.

I am in Texas and the wood is not holding up well either. It is as if it wants to splinter off almost - starting to go that way. It is not smooth like it was 2 years ago. Anyone have any suggestions on what can be done?

I had a scratch that affected by “B Pillar” that cost the other guys insurance company over 10K. Here the damage appears to be the trunk only- so maybe no structural damage so you may get off cheap. The third party body shop will give you a written estimate- use that legally 2) you have to ask...

Yes, thank you

Yes, another way to say this location is to say; it is the closest supercharger to the Space X facility

The first 300 KWh charger in Texas appears to be coming to Collins street supercharger location. Photos attached. Those are 4 inch pipes being placed into the ground.

I have done - for emergencies- and pray a lot when I do this. Putting pressure on one side is usually not a good idea but beats spending 3 hrs - for a flat repair.

There has to be a benefit to living in Austin area- we should get “Factory” pick up for our trucks. The lawyer can work the money issues out

I was thinking more like 150 for short range 200 for mid range And 250 for long range Anything less than 250 means we will be supercharging a lot when towing - given Texas speed and temperatures.

It really does not matter what it says - use the % of charge and you are better off. The number it quotes is useless anyway.

180 miles is what I expect. Life time average is 312 wh/mile but I dive 85 on average ( legal speed limit is 85 on some roads here in Austin) and we do seem to be having a lot more triple digit days lately.

Let’s keep it non political on this form please

anything below 250 KWh for the long range will not work. All 250 is not available, got to leave some room at both ends , so with a pack of 250; about 200 is useable and at 500 wh/mile that would get us to about 400 miles To 500 miles range based on how you calculate the useable pack.

Or anyone who can accurately calculate the capacity of your battery objectively.

Today for the first time in about 2 years my car did NOT experience phantom breaking on part of I-35 that it usually does. Taking these glitches has been particularly challenging but progress was demonstrated today.

be careful. They can fly off completely- then you have to buy a new one. If it is coming off- just take it off; pull off the double sided tape and put new double sided tape on. taking the tape off is a pain- you are forewarned

Gas is a factor but so is maintaining the car. Oil changes, Transmission oil changes, radiator flush and fill, differential service (depending on the car/ truck) not to forget the spark plugs and the timing belt changes. Usually for me gas was 50% the expense and other maintenance was 50% the...

Thank you. True this is a worst case projection. 500,000 is what is currently projected assuming the health care system holds. Under previous models 50% absenteeism is expected due to illness and fear among NA, LVN, LPN - the folks who will man the front lines. prepare for the worst and tighten...

Please take this one seriously. We messed up early on and took the same position as the post above. That is no longer true. Mobile hospitals are being set up as we speak. Doctors were given permission to treat over the phone that we in the US never gave them before. Expect to “shelter in place”...

Not for early vin numbers. They told me they need to order a piece of plastic that below the dash. The early Vin’s do not have that but later one do. So as you get the Computer update they are also doing that. I will get my computer upgrade in a few month’s- once the techs have all the practice...

I drive very conservatively- only 5 over posted speed limit. Speed limit is 85 near me. So I am happy with 200 miles on a full charge.?

My life time average is 309 wh/mile with about 45 K miles. I got 90 miles going from 80 to 28 percent charge yesterday

I also would check with Tesla, if auto pilot will have to be purchased separately and how much that would cost.

That the way I do it and Elon was right when he said “you will not care about going slow - if you are not driving.” Took a few to understand him, originally I did not get it, but now I do.

I do not think it is “Indian programmers” we have now moved to machine learning sir. Programmers are so last decade

Same thing in Temple TX. Once the road construction was done Tesla tried to correct the problem by removing the speed limit, then we got the new update and now at the end of the patch where the speed limit was removed it showed up at 45 mph. Mind you this is a 70 mph zone and most drive 75 to...

I drive about 90 miles one way to work. Average velocity is about 80 mph. I have never noticed any heat issues even when the temp is 100 F outside.

Ok thank you. I just thought there would be something there.

I just got my car back after repair and the repair shop is telling me that there is no sound reduction materials over the trunk. Can some please check their model 3 and see if the metal is showing over the trunk and if not post a picture please - so I can show it to the repair shop. They claim...

Make sure the car was towed “properly” ie they used the wheels to secure the car on the flatbed truck and not the “jack points” else they owe you a new battery pack. That is not the insurance company issue - it is more of a towing companies issue but you need to stay on top of that one.

I drive on chill with minimal regen. This way the sudden speed changes and phantom breaking effects are minimized.

My car is in the shop now almost ready to come back. I have seen some people say they got $8000 for diminished value on a P3D. Does that sound right?

what should you have asked for in diminished value then?

AC is fairly efficient, by AC I mean cooling. Heating is another issue but if you bundle up and use the seat warmer - it is not so bad. The range killer is the speed and if you choose to use the heat.

Most of the utilities will let you see what your bill would have been for the last year if you had the rate plan that changes by the hour. In TX - it was beneficial for us to switch to that plan as the car does “pull” a lot of power at night

I was in an accident where an Allstate driver ran a red light and into my P3D. I showed then the FUSC and they agreed to pay for my Gas. For those of you who have been following Garlan and I - you know that our Fuel Bill is significant. The car is in the shop getting repaired - hope I get it...

Did your reservation number jump up when you changed your configuration?

112744xxx is the lowest I have seen- anyone have a lower number?

ordered the long range 500+ miles truck and got to RN1127452xx

Elon said on Twitter that the glass shattered because - the door had been hit with a sledgehammer - Implying that the shockwaves from that impact weakened the glass enough to allow it to break due to the new type of exoskeleton. If everything is bolted to the exoskeleton (no frame in the cyber...

What is the exact length of the Cybertruck- reference please

Rivian is a gimmick. The Tesla Truck is going to be a functional truck and I think the future for most businesses. Everyone please sell your stocks today. I would Like the price to drop so I can buy, more stock.

Sorry I was ordering while you all were commenting. Function is what it is about for me. 500 + miles should get me 200+ towing. This is a good truck. Yes it looks different - that is ok. Ordered the trimoter with the longer range.

The future or the past or back to the future. Originally Hebrew did not come with vowels.
