So in CA you have range of 300 and super changers but you have to wait to charge since they are busy. Here I have to rely on level 2 chargers once I arrive in NOrth Dakota because there is only a super charger 180 miles from the ND border. I’m orher words that would be ok in the summer but the...

It is interesting to see all the California owners debate efficiency and kWh per mile to figure out if they get 310 miles or 290 or 285 miles. I am in Minneapolis and my range this week is 120 miles at 90% charging with the car in a heated garage. It was -20F. So 80 degrees lower than most...

Fred wrote about the door handles and windows freezing and getting locked in Quebec. Many of his readers are mentioning after being able to pry open the window glass, the glass would not come back to the full up position. I used to have a Jag XK8 and you could reset the window height up...

Nomad Gen 2 with USB adapter they recommend works great for the camera recording

Nice match to the S one Nice match. They look in love.

The T Sportlines are on the Model 3 performance. 19 inch wheels with sottozero 3. Right for the 1st flakes of the season in Minnesota.

It’s not Tesla saying it will be free. It’s a 3rd party. Therefore it’s heat say. This is the same guy that had the $5k refund fiasco. This is a close to gossip as it can get. Fact is $150 and I bought it. It did not say: but don’t worry we will refund you $150 because you bought a Tesla a...

Yes. I know. But this way I can’t get the wrong card to a 3rd person. My card is my card and stays in my wallet. The fob is easy to not confuse with another card. Worth the extra $100 for simplicity. Plus it’s more likely my kids will give me the fob back. If I give them a card they will keep...

I use the phone all the time. It works to open the car all the time but sometimes I have to touch the door handle to wake up the phone and car connection. No big deal. The new fob is great so I can keep my card in my wallet for emergency if I ever need it and I can now give the fob to the valet...

As a former Jag convertible owner I learned to always have a back up car since the jag was often in the shop. May be a model 3 should be ordered still.

I think that if you moved to Montana, even the Bears would wave at you and you could really test the AWD feature of the car too as you try to run away from the bear.

I do not like the drive stalk. Too easy to put reverse instead of drive while parked. The dash screen should have a green letter for D when in D and a Red flashing when in R. This would be better than the small black bold so it decreases the likelyhood one screws up. No one is perfect. Surgeons...

Averaging 300 on long trips of 200 miles. But for shorter trips of 25 miles or less around 350 to 450. Lifetime around 325 on 4000 miles with average temperature of 60 degrees. It will be interesting to see the increase in consumption as the are now below freezing in Minnesota. Getting the...

The level of incompetence at Tesla when it comes to winter tires for the performance Model 3 goes in and keeeps on giving. Here is the set they advertise on their web site: they finally split the 20’s Michelin racing tire set from the winter set. They now advertise the 20’s winter wheel with a...

I ordered their 19 inch I ordered their 19 instead because I could not wait any longer. Their is snow on the ground in Minnesota.

It will be fine. I have a 3+ with 4000 miles and no problem. No air suspension! That’s great news since air suspensions are like boats. You love it the 1st day and you love it when you sell the boat. I converted my air suspension on 2 SUVs to coil. Tesla should do a kit for the X and S to do a...

Don’t know. But on the phone they said that it Left the factory. So that part is very important. Ship will arrive. When? They currently say 2 weeks. They also mentioned they the Michelin X ice is listed now for the 18s because Pirelli is out of sottozero 2 in the US. I think this has to do with...

Glad to see it fixed. Would be nice to see an alternative kit including 4 pads instead of 1 as part of the wrench. And free shipping sale please?

The model 3 kit for the wrench is not an option at the moment even though it is advertised. one can only select S or X once item is selected on eBay. Waiting for a free shipping sale on set of 4 pad. Or could reduce price to $100 for set

It’s I interesting that people are now getting a free supercharger upgrade ( if they want turn down the $5k) while they did not have the rights for it since they are freed it too late. But the people that already had the free upgrade are now equals to the ones they are getting the free...

I could not wait anymore for the TSportLine 18s. I ordered the 19s space grey with the SottoZero 3. That’s almost $700 more than the 18s but the 19s are in stock! While on the phone with them today they confirmed that the 18’s are in route in the container but are not in port yet. So while the...

The Tesla OEM winter mats are not that great because they lack side wall protection you expect from WeatherTech which actually makes those for Tesla. If you want after market MAXPIDER has a better one but it’s not OEM. You made a very cost effective solution. Good job.

Check the paint. And have them and you record it so you can make a claim later if necessary. Then it’s when it gets dicey. Difficult choice if there is a defect on the paint. If there is a small one it may be best to take it as is and not ask for repaint. The repaint may make it worse. The...

Yes. Same issue. I wrote them. I called them. They are aware of it. It’s a problem with most accounts. But still no fix. Quite problematic. Especially since they say they will offer free supercharging or $5k back yet they don’t even post the free supercharging correctly in the 1st place. So keep...

Free supercharging is to the car. Not the owner. As long as you got it when there was the referral system. His new offer of free supercharging is to the owner for those that did not have it and want it instead of the $5k. I already have the Free Super Charger for the car as an August buyer.

Exactly how I feel too. We are the minority. But cash talks. We are the most valuable cash customers. How bad do they want my $25k profit on the next model Y?

Looking at it from an economic sense only is not human like but just mechanical. Fact is if someone wanted to save money they would buy an ICE vehicle. 1/2 the reason some of us buy a Tesla is to tell the neighbor: I have one and you don’t. Because I value the environment more than you. Or...

Because you have an undesirable option P3D- your car is worth $10 k less if you take the offer. So you can take the $5 k upfront but your car will be worth even less than if you keep the supercharger.

The 18 Sportline will work if you select brake performance option on their page. But the clearance will be very small and for winter tire the snow will build up behind caliper and will not be good. But if used for summer that will fit great. Their 19 from Sportline will work since they are...

I am amazed to see so many owners happy to trade in the free supercharger they got for free. I would never give something back just by principle. Those owners should study game theory before they take their $5k for turning back in something they had in hand. With that logic why not offer...

Elon, Leave the new pricing in place and offer lifetime Supercharging for $7,500. This way the early adopter will feel they saved $2500. This should also please the P3D-, not just the P3D+. The late adopter will be unlikely to pay $7,500 for this service. And if they do Tesla Shareholders...

That’s right. We have to spend $4k for winter wheels that we don’t want. We want 19 inch winter wheels because the range of the P3D+ in the Midwest is 250 miles at 45 degrees outside. At freezing and 20 inch winter tires we will be at 220,miles. I agree on FSD free upgrade for those that did...

Exactly. Don’t offer money back with less than the original purchase as the only solution. Offer us more instead as option 2.

This is very “Indian Giver” from Elon. We give you free supercharging but now we will take it away from you in order to give you $5k that is free for everyone else as of now. I would rather Elon offers the original $3k full self driving free upgrade to all 3PD+ as an alternative to the $5k...

That’s right. Pay more and get less range with more potential damage to the rims from the lower walls on the 20’s. TST sounds like a good plan but they are on backorder for a few more weeks. I guess the ICE 4x4 will be the back up soon at this rate.

TST has a package with 18 or 19 wheels. But Tesla to date does not have anything for the P3D+ performance with larger brakes. I called Tesla today and they are now taking pre-reservations for a winter kit which will be available in 4 to 6 weeks. The kit is very simple: Same wheels as the...
