After 13 months on the Michelin PS4 tires, and about 17k miles, I will say these tires are stickier & slightly more responsive than my MXM4 OEM tires. Road noise level is still high and looking at my Tesla trip screen info, I averaged 249kWh on my old tires and 254 kWh on the Pilot Sport 4s...

Thank you Tam. Yes, 30A is the dedicated fuse in the fuse box; the odd 10-50 plug was what was "installed" on the Sears dryer and the wall output before I bought my home 30 years ago. I haven't touched the electrical wiring at all. Outside of changing light bulbs to LED and attaching some...

In my garage, I have a 220V electric dryer that I want to share the output with my Tesla Mobile Charger for level 2 charging. I just ordered and intend to plug in an UL Listed NeoCharge splitter (NeoCharge Smart Splitter) to my garage dryer 10-50 outlet. My fuse box and dryer is set up with a...

If you’re parking at a long-term lot, then I would say it’s okay (otherwise the engineers and planners would not have put those charging parking spots in there). I work at an airport (SFO) that supports a very limited number of free chargers in the short-term parking lot and it’s not cool when...

I think this is what Elon originally said he wanted to do (remember that roll-out of the Model 3 back in 2016?)- to make the Model 3 (Y?) more "common" and affordable. It was never touted as a true luxury car, even though the vehicle was put in the same class. So, if things go "right," and...

Range update 11/8/21. Eight months ago, I posted "range" display of my 2018 Model 3 LR (262 miles range at 90% and 290 miles at 100% SOC). Now, at 58000 miles and 3 years of driving around / commuting around the Bay Area, mostly level 2 charging to 90% and once a month charging to 100% and...

Two and a half years and 40k miles later, my LR DM 3's "maximum" range is approximately 290 (at 100% SOC) and 262 miles at "full Daily, edge of Trip" (90%) mark.

I replaced the MXM4 with the Pilot Sport AS4 and the "range" efficiency has been negligible, perhaps maybe about a 2-3 mile range increase. Of course, I changed tires in November 2020 and with the milder cool Bay Area winter weather, my range diminishes until mid-spring time when the warmer...

2021.4.11 update completed (approx 35 minutes). Lots of clunks, thumps, clicks, winding noises. I understand aside from "minor bug fixes," the only real "noticeable" update might be the brake regen under colder conditions. 2 1/2 years and 40k miles later, I'm still loving this ride! Only...

That makes sense. Thank you for the insight education

I am not able to delete my off-subject reply. Moderator: you may remove my reply as necessary. Thank you

My bad. I agree and I apologize. I’ll focus on the subjects at hand. Thank you

Since rain and ambient conditions are dynamic, and each Tesla driver has their personal preference to “when” they want their auto-sensors to wipe, this feature would be so effective if each time a driver presses the stalk button during auto-mode during a light or moderate shower condition, the...

Hmm, by that you mean kinda like a “vacation consignment plan / offer?”

If the perps committed this crime in San Francisco & were caught, SF’s District Attorney Chesa Bodin will set them free. He and his staff have been keeping their word on not prosecuting robberies, assaults, burglaries or other dangerous crimes unless victims are murdered. Only then will he...

You should write a book or journal. Lol! Too funny & glad your patience and realistic attitude put it all in perspective ;-)

I know your Model Y wasn't a primary target (unless the mouse was looking for a synthetic high), but it is probably a good time to clean out your garage of ALL your easy-to-get-to food snacks & secure your food staples (if they're shelved on some unenclosed storage racks or cabinets)...

69,420..... I’m betting one or some of Elon’s login passwords involve two and / or three of those numbers... Lol!! Gotta love him!

If you purchased the Acceleration Boost for your non-P DM, can you share what your car does from 60MPH to say, 110MPH (or top end)? Or is this $2000 software “boost” only formatted up until 60MPH? Thank you.

Give that human prop an Oscar Award!

“Yes, I see lots of very promising things. Great things. You’ll see. Things unlike anything we have ever seen before...“.

Excellent explanation and details. Your report makes sense to me. I have similar experiences & results, minus your recalibration discipline- 10/03/18 delivery of AWD LR, 31,500 mi, >80% freeway miles, driven about 5-6 days per week, terrain: Bay Area freeways & cities. “Max range” is 287...

Short of teleporting, this is a good idea than will be GREAT, if one of the stops include McCarran Airport but the LV “financiers” and their “infrastructure organizations” will never allow it. That is, unless they get a very large “piece of the action...”

Okay, enough of my ranting. So here's my 3-4% group answer to this post: 2020.24.6.9 (Software Update) | Teslascope

After almost 2 fun-filled and a totally worth-it Model 3 purchase, these TMC posts haven't changed. A good question or comment is posted by a member. Then a bunch of people reply or comment on the post. 95% of the responses are noise (e.g. "Yeah, I got that update too!" or "Should I...

There in lies the beauty of choice. Everyone, right or wrong, reasonable or extravagant, makes or justifies their choices to meet their wants and needs. Basically, it’s the same as why the color or option Model3 you like or chose, wasn’t the same as I chose. The beauty of FSD is that if I...

Is it just me or do you get a bit flustered or irritated that most of the commentators say that they just got their OTA update but haven’t driven the car yet, because it’s downloading, or they’re abt to go to bed, or their tummy hurts too much to drive or not read or report what information was...

I had a similar problem with an update early 2019. I forgot which one but my air louvers in the front bumper slots would open & close 24/7. Tesla said it is completely normal and does that to cool the batteries as necessary. I told them my car is parked in a 65 degree garage and it does it...

Unlike many of us who are losing approximately 7-10% of the estimated range over 20k miles, it looks like the battery gods favored you and you got the creme de la creme” fuel cells in the battery lottery! Lol

They (Tesla) say a drop of 3-10% is expected or “normal.” Plus, Tesla changes some algorithms on computation. So, weather temperature, driving habits, speed, tire pressure, wind, auxiliary energy use all factor in the “range” of your vehicle. It’s too much to try and replicate exact...

Congrats to you! Yesla!! You’ll never look back, I promise (except in the rear view mirror, for the other cars you’ll smoke!). In my year & a half of ownership, I’ve only seen two Teslas on the road who acted like “Richards.” Every single other Tesla owner I’ve met or talked with have been...

Think of it as a lifetime gym membership fee- the $2000 gets you personal training & membership to a stronger core and ab workouts so you won't need to go to the gym anymore and do those sweaty tiring stomach crunch thingies... just mash the accelerator to the floor when there are no other cars...

I took the "plunge" in October 2019, and purchased the new Tesla Insurance (underwritten by State National Companies). Two days ago, I was rear-ended on the freeway. Firstly, Tesla Assistance is CLOSED from Saturday 6PM - Monday 9AM, so if you're thinking you'll speak with someone for any...

Thanks. I'll give that a try and over time, see what happens.

Same story, different day. My AWD range has dropped over 7% average over past 5 months (showed 310 for full year and OCT '19 OTA update, with that car buggy game addition, my range started dropping). Same issues with ICE vehicles and EPA ratings- they're all over the place... Telsa warrants...

Even with all the OTA updates, my "range" on my AWD Model 3 has NEVER stated above 310 miles. In fact, after 10/2019 (1 full year of driving 15,000 miles) and staying within the charging recommendations (Level 2 charging to 90% and only 4 visits to a supercharger charging to 100%), my "range"...

For what it’s worth- @ 22000 miles, 16 months of mostly commute driving, my 90% shows 264 miles @ 90% and 293 miles at 100% state of charge. My Model 3 is still plenty quick and every day, I still enjoy driving this precision, souped-up fancy golf cart!!

Ion Oct 2019 (exactly 1 yr of driving total of 15k+ miles; M3 AWD LR) my “range” showed very similar lower numbers as yours. I only charged to 100% about twice every three months. Tesla SC said they remote checked my car’s vitals and do not show any uneven or irregular battery issues. Approx...

Similar speed, wheels, Wh/mi and I think we're married to the same girl...

Conceptually, it's fresh, beautiful and euphoric. Eventually, when it becomes real, if history repeats itself, the price will go way up and come way down. Just like the Model 3's history of prices, options, schemes and offers, they get tweaked to optimize profit, packaging and value. And it's...

Just received notice of 40.50.7 update offer. I'm paranoid that if I download OTA update, updated software will allow Elon to definitely cancel my "12 month Premium Connectivity trial" that I've enjoyed and gotten addicted to the past 14 months, in a few days.... yes?

Oh, you haven't heard? Suspension may be lowered for better handling and performance to ensure all Teslas have successfully received this option. IF you want the permanent handling performance update, please go to your phone and directly under the 0-60mph 0.5sec performance option, for $750...

I'm confused by your sentence (structure). You're going to pay the $10/mo., even though you don't like or use its features and will likely use your hotspot?

oops- 2017 Lexus I meant (however, Tesla's technology is much more advanced and less expensive...)

the man has a very valid point.

I just received the email this morning that my day of free live maps, music, and the rest of the premium connectivity suite is ending 12/31/19; knew this was coming and sort of remembered seeing something on my screen that mentioned a subscription fee would be charged. It didn’t seem fair-...

Thanks for everyone's reply, input, experience and analytics. I'm a simple guy so put it in 6th grade math for me- Should I be concerned, or should I just ignore, my current 100% charge range of 304 miles, that used to show 310 miles every time I charged to "100%," for the past 12 months? I...

For what it’s worth, my LR estimated range dropped to 274 from 280 mi (@ 90% level) and maximum range display dropped to 304 from 310 mi. All happened beginning 10/2019 with 12.2.2 OTA update and my first “long trip” from Bay Area to Santa Barbara one weekend. I ran battery to 8% when I...

That must have been pretty stressful. Tell me, about how many times have you run your battery this low & what is your screen showing when you charge to 100%? I’m wondering if there is any measurable or noticeable battery degradation? I hav had my Model 3 LR Dual Motor for 13 months and my...
