Sounds like it was busy! Was it raining a lot? That can trigger the cameras to do lots of unnecessary recording, which can easily eat up more than 1 mi/hr of range.

I paid the $1000 charge, but it was worth it to me. The FSDb has been great. Some people got better deals, but that's life.

HW3? When did that become standard?

Did you get them on camera?

Probably distracted since they were going so slow. Most red light runners are going fast, and decide it's better to run the light than slow and stop. Anyway, good that you were looking, as you should.

No way. You've got a problem. Better take it to a Service Center! /s

It's going to go down, because the ambient is dropping relative to the last time you turned it on. That's my theory.

I'm going to guess, you gained, RELATIVE, to the prediction. Pictures are always appreciated, because it's not always obvious what people are referring to.

Why bury it? So, people don't start pressing it unnecessarily!

As I mentioned to others, I believe, and I may be wrong, that the BMS recalculates your range whenever you "start" a trip. So, if your ambient temps have changed from home to work, then you'll get a different range calculation when you re-start your car. In Winter, you often get these...

I don't have a heat pump model, so I can't answer the choice question. All I know, is I'm quite satisfied with my 2018 LR-AWD. Charging every day is better, in general, as 3 shallow discharges is better than one deep discharge, but the individual difference can be quite minor. I'd do whatever...

There's a video on Youtube of a guy who bought a seat sensor from the internet, and changed it himself.

I think you have it reversed. If I didn't check the car every day, it would have been only 5.1% lost after 2wks., and thus 0.36% lost every day, not 0.15%. That's why I called it "nothing in the grand scheme of things".

I agree with @1965Falcon , I have a 25-30mi daily drive, same as you, and that's 10% for me, so I charge to 60% and plug-in nightly. After 5 ½yrs, I still have all my original EPA-estimated range. Started with 310mi, and my very last reading was 310mi.

In my opinion, others may disagree, it's just due to the changing ambient conditions the BMS sees. The BMS calculates SOC and range based upon the temp at the moment when you "start", and doesn't recalculate until the next time you "start". Because of that, you'll see on the energy graph...

What, the version they're sending out is 11.1?!? Idiots! That version must be over a year old!

Only roundtrips count, otherwise wind and elevation can be factors; and no one can compare unless they run the same road as you. Further, if you really want a reference efficiency measurement, I'd use ABRP, ABRP, as they calibrate your car's efficiency at 65mph. To me, that's going to give you...

0.6%SOC, or 1/2kWh in 2wks with daily checks, is really nothing in the grand scheme of things.

It's worked much better in construction zones, roundabouts and parking lots, than v11, which was unusable. Then, I've only had it for a week.

Yes, it's slower than v11, but I think that's a minor issue that could be easily fixed. I don't have any of the other issues that you cite, lane changes, and strange passing on the right. Then again, you are in Mass, they drive different down there!

We get so few windshields cracked, that no one's experience is statistically significant, no matter how many miles we've driven. Having said that, if your vehicle is lower to the ground and the windshield is large, it's going to get more rocks hitting it. More hits, leads to more cracks. A...

I've been testing FSDb since Thanksgiving. And, version 11 is not very good on unlined roads, as it likes to stay close to center. That's fine, since I do that as well, but it doesn't seem to move back to its side of the road early enough, for my liking, when it sees another vehicle coming. I...

Here's mine from last month. I left my car for 2wks, and checked it almost daily. Since I'm in Maine, it was also fairly cold for much of the time from Feb28, to Mar13. As you can see, it lost 5.7% and 0.6% was the app, since I was checking it! Why not test it for a few days, just to make sure...

Hmmm... do you have pics of these bad rotors? Seems a bit odd. How about a pic of the so-called "estimate"? Rotors aren't almost $8k. What else are they doing? As for $7578 CAD, after 6 ½yrs, that's not good, but also not bad. Have you ever owned a BMW?

NH guy's rusty brake lines. What a mess!

Ha, don't forget I got down to -1.2% SOC on Super Bowl Sunday this year! So, there's some bottom buffer and my cell imbalance must be fairly okay.

So, is this where I give an update on my battery? Just got back from a 2wk ski trip out West, so a couple things. In the 2wks my car was parked at the airport, I lost 5.7% SOC, and I checked the SOC almost daily. Doing the math, that's about a 0.05mi/hr drain rate. Very, very low. Checking via...

Not sure if people saw that thread late last year, where someone from NH posted pics of his brake lines and the area around the front of his battery. Extremely gunked up and corroded! I was so concerned I propped up my vehicle and dropped the plate to look to see how my 5yr old 3 was doing. So...

One, talk to a lawyer. Two, document, document, document. Three, you need to show more of that documentation to your lawyer than you did to the participants in this thread. If people are a tad skeptical, it's because a lot of your comments were vague and not detailed. If your car was...

You could set scheduled charging so that it ends right before your departure time, so that there's no time for the SOC to drop. Or, if it's so critical to have 75%, then why not charge to 78%, and if it drops by departure time, it'll still be above your 75%.

On the positive side, you almost got to 30k on that set. I'm usually shopping for a new set by then.

Maybe the other driver is part T-Rex. She can't see you if you're not moving!

What's the color of your 3?

Why is it one of the worst?

Interesting question. I don't know the answer, but even if there are owners with high mileage in a short time, is the driving similar? I mean, most owners to put on that mileage would typically have a long commute? Mostly highway miles? Those are less impactful than lots of short trips. I'd...

And I just learned another tidbit of info from @AAKEE! I did not realize that the lithium plating occurs more at higher SOCs. So, if you're supercharging a cold battery at low levels, by the time it gets to higher levels, the battery should be fairly warm, no, mitigating some of the risk? So...

Oh my, that driver looked left, right, left, right, and never looked straight ahead!

Better that the body of the car "seem" fragile, than the body of the human inside. Collisions are about physics. Where do you want the kinetic energy to go, into bits of vehicle that can be replaced, or into the soft human occupants? Vehicles have been designed to dissipate energy in a...

Maybe post your Monroney sticker, so people can see what the vehicle has and what it hasn't?

I'd make sure it drives straight! There should be an alignment in your estimate, make sure they give you the alignment specs after.

My home electricity dropped to 12c/kWh in January, but it's still more expensive than the Tesla destination charger I get to use for free at the ski resort I usually visit. Got 50% today, from 30% to 80%. Maybe, I should ski even more than I do? It pains me to say this, but 5hrs later, when I...

Yeah, that's separate from the vehicle insurance. I was just listing the vehicle differential since that's what the OP was asking about, why his Tesla car was more expensive to insure than his old Toyota.

Does it matter? It'd be nice if the images rendered were more accurate, but the idea is to convey the information accurately, as necessary, ie, there's a large vehicle in the way.

No issues. Soft touch, I get a wipe. A complete, but quick depress, and I get just a small squirt, which is plenty for the few wipes. When I first got the car, I pressed the wiper button too long. Now I know, just a quick press will give me the right amount of wiper fluid.

Either method has weaknesses. • I've seen it estimated that 90% of people don't adjust their mirrors properly to cover their blind spot. They set their side mirrors to look down the side of the car, and to the rear, rather than at an angle to see the blind spot. You nave a center mirror to see...

Is this a PCS problem? The car's HV not keeping the 12v properly charged?

I always have the trip prediction screen up when driving when I'm not sure about the range, because the trip plan estimate is based upon you driving under a specific set of circumstances, ie driving no more than 5mph over the limit, and using a modest amount of HVAC. I usually set mine manually...

Yes, I could have since I do have SMT, but I ran in to check out the finish of the Super Bowl!

Never used the phone app to plan, but what did the car's trip planner say while you were actually driving? And, did you look when you reached Lewiston, NE,that you didn't get there with the 59% that the app predicted? Generally, I check the car's trip planner within 10miles of leaving just to...

Haha, no I didn't think of doing any of that, since I was panicking, and just trying to be so careful with the throttle!
