hey folks, I've got a 2018 vin around 120,000, using Panasonic batteries I presume. Looking to buy a new Highland, I recall it's got a different battery and chemistry. Currently I'm keeping charge at 50% for years on my 2018, only go to 100% if I need it.....in theory to reduce calendar aging...

Hey folks, the LR with 18” rims is showing 341 miles range, switching to 19” rims drops it to 305 miles, a 10% drop. I’ve got a 5.5 year old model 3, I know Tesla plays some strange games. But does it make sense to have a 10% drop in range with this change? I recall others testing years ago...

Five year old Model 3 purchased November of 2018, build number around 122,000. I know the initial battery degradation occurs in first two years, my range dropped quickly at about 25k miles from 310 miles to 285 to 290 roughly. I also know range is a calculation, I've spent lots of time...

Hey folks, I live in NH, 2018 Model 3 LR, about 60k miles on it. I've used the auto setting on the seat heaters since this was added in the software, maybe two years ago? It worked great, starting on highest setting and dropping as the car warmed up inside. As it got cold this winter, used my...

Hi folks....just did a 13 hr drive, New Hampshire to Detroit, then back a few days later. I do this every 6 months. 2018 model 3 LR without FSD. I have terrible issues now with how many car lengths being controlled to the car in front of me while on the highway. There's so much room, cars...

About two weeks ago I noticed a change in my charging, from my solar app.....I can see the car starting to charge for about 10 minutes, every hour on the hour exactly....for instance it will start at 1am, charge for 15min then stop, start at 2am for 15min, 3am for 15, etc etc. The first time I...

Hey folks, on 2022.44.25.3.......have used Apple Music for years, delighted its on Tesla now......but I don't see a way to "like" or "dislike" a song in the interface. Am I missing something?

hey folks, my 2018 Model 3 has developed a slight leak, dropping from under the trunk in back. I've attached a few photos here. Here's what I know so far: 1. I can't see the color of the fluid. 2. It has an oily feel to the touch. 3. When I pull the car up the driveway, you can see the drip...

hey folks, considering there're two weeks of Tesla interface criticism on here, I had to laugh when I just read this review on the [Volkswagen] ID4 interface. This is brutal, maybe makes you feel slightly better about V11??.....here're just the key points: Touchscreens are complex, yet...

After playing around with this for two days, I'm really starting to like the new UI. Actually, pretty surprised by so many negative comments here, to me its very intuitive. I think we're getting a view of the direction they're going in, I don't see it bad at all. It's not the perfect start...

hey folks, I've had the Ottosteer on since roughly January 2019, worked fine and easy to install. Noticed this summer that the front plate was leaning a bit forward, got underneath today and removed the Ottosteer mount to see what's up. It appears I have multiple broken vent pieces where the...

I’m close to 25k miles, recently changed my cabin air filter. When I purchased the car in 2018 I recall the schedule calling for brake fluid change at 25k and battery cooling fluid change at 50k miles. just looked up again in my manual.....now says to just check the brake fluid at 25k, and no...

I just changed my cabin air filters for the first time....yes, that one screw is a bit of a bear. I noticed while pulling off the plastic piece mounted under my glove compartment, that I'm missing a plastic faster.....I think they're called drive pin plastic rivets. I also recall I broke one...

Hey guys....I got the 2020.24.6.9 download last week, and I'm thinking my navigation version changed also. The main road near my house had an incorrect speed on the map previously (last year), it was corrected on a software update I think last Fall.....now it's wrong again, just noticed today...

Hey folks.....just to follow up on some posts from last month. I had free miles in my loot box which showed a June 30 expiration. I assumed that meant they were good all day, but just FYI they aren’t. I checked that morning, they were still showing in my loot box. Left on a major trip that...

hey folks, I've got 1000 free supercharger miles from a referral, expiring on June 30. This was already extended once, but it obviously sucks as we haven't been able to travel to use them up during the virus. We intend to make a trip NH to MI around the 4th, could use up most of those free...

in NH, car has 16k miles on it, theoretical range dropped at V10 early October like most everyone whining on the forum. Mine didn't drop that badly....it was historically consistent 310 at full charge, dropped first to 308 after V10 (the next day), then 307, continuing down to 303 two weeks...

My car is 13mo old, have home Apple Music account and periodically use that in the car through my iPhone, don't want to invest in Spotify, so would like to just continue my free Slacker account. I've read recently that the Slacker account is only free for one year, so maybe everything I'm...

I’ve read all the posts about loss of charging max since V10, same deal here but I noticed something a little different last two full charges..... I set my slider to full charge, it says 308 miles. It charges and stops at 304, says its full charge. Okay no different than others. Before I pull...

This morning....looks like they woke up and will charge me now, my subscription ends 12/31. I just subscribed, $9.99/mo charged directly to my Tesla account. Can’t argue with the price, it’s pretty sweet as they don’t list any data maximum. But they do have a warning in the terms now about...

Noticed two things that seem to have changed after V10: I keep my headlight preference on auto bright lights. In the past when I started driving at night, my brights were in this mode and started working immediately. After V10, I need to flip the lights to bright once for the auto lights to...

Been following all the posts about charge changes since V10. My charge also changed overnight after loading V10. Consistently full charge was 310 until the day after I loaded V10, now it's 308 to 309. Not a big deal compared to others, and yes I know it's just an estimate yadda yadda...

Do any of you have one of these Tesla mats? If so, how difficult is it to access the sunken storage spot under the mat? Does the mat have a “crease” in it to easily fold up the section over the storage spot?

Hey guys.....need some help. I’ll drive to the beach with my board on the rack. I get there, park, need to leave my phone in the car and lock it while I go for a surf. How do I lock the car with my phone inside? Will the key card lock it? If so, if someone comes to the driver’s door handle...

Hey folks.....I only put the rack on our wagon when I’m using it. The Thule takes maybe 5 min to install. How easy is the Tesla rack to put on and take off the Model 3?

hey folks....I've got my headlights set to auto on/off. The sensitivity seems to be very high.....for instance, on a sunny day, if I drive down a road with lots of trees and shade, the headlights turn on. As soon as I hit the sun, the lights turn off. There seems to be no sensitivity setting...

I’m sorry to start a music thread again, but I’ve read for months all the issues with speakers......never had an issue with mine, always sounded great. I got 12.1.2 last night, went out today, my stereo is noticeably better....bass is rocking, everything sounds way better. I’m listening...

is it possible to leave the temp setting on auto, but turn off the a/c? I can do this in our past Audi's and Volvo's.....have a long trip later today, was thinking I could save some energy by keeping the compressor off.

hey guys I’ve just got the regular auto pilot.....had it about a month. One thing I’ve noticed on the highway.....if I drop the right stalk once to engage cruise control...that works. But when I see the steering wheel icon on the left, and drop the right stalk a second time, it doesn’t always...

I'm traveling to my son's home to visit for Easter.....and will do some slow charging via 110V plug in his garage. I had never charged with 110V, so tested out in my garage outlet today. Plugged in, at 108V was getting 12A charging and 4 miles/hr. I was using a 25' orange extension cord from...

hey guys.....I’m going to take my first fairly long ride around Easter....New Hampshire to Detroit. Looking forward to testing out the supercharger network! I’ve driven this route a few times....NY Thruway to Niagara Falls, cross border and go through Ontario, crossing back into US around...

hey guys.....have a LR Dual Motor with 19” rims and all season tires. Ultimately I want to switch to summer/winter tire combos on the same rims. I assume winter tires will reduce range. What will happen with summer tread?

Was charging at 80% in my garage, leaving the car plugged in when not in use since delivery in November. Switched to 90% two weeks ago when I saw the forum posts that 90% is okay. Has been fine for two weeks, then this morning when I got in the car, I had a warning, something to the effect...

Funny.....ordered mid-October.....two hours after it was delivered via FedEx, I got an automated email saying it had shipped, go figure. But at least it arrived. I have to say, it's really nice. For sure no battery inside, feels light. Fits perfectly, looks sharp, phone won't slide, love it...

Hey guys.....I work for a company whereby one of our businesses is to make the primary backing material for tufted carpets, much of which goes into car floor carpets. The competing technology is needlepunch carpets. The primary differences, .....tufted carpets are more expensive, have better...

Hey guys want to hard wire my R3 into a 12v source wire. Earlier this week I saw some video's I thought on this forum showing two good spots to hook into.....one was under the drivers side door kick plate, another spot was into a plug above the drivers side foot well. For the life of me I...

Just want to help others with delivery.....mine was really easy, car is so far ahead of the legacy manufacturers it's not even funny. Here's my experience: 10/12 ordered via iPhone, Apple Pay deposit $2500, will be cash deal 10/24 phone call from someone at Tesla that my car was made...

hey guys I'm taking delivery Friday morning in Mt. Kisco.....I've seen this link for delivery check list.....is this what you all are using? Tesla Model 3 Delivery Inspection Checklist

My delivery is scheduled for next Friday.....I'm working to update my insurance policy, and Liberty Mutual web site asks some questions that are difficult for me to answer, because Tesla doesn't really list a detailed spec sheet for the 3. Can you guys help me here: I'm getting a LR AWD M3...

called the delivery hot line 888-771-2505 about 1pm today....it’s 7pm now, still on hold. I actually went for a 90 min hike, left the phone on, and got back, was still on hold. It’s a running joke with my wife, how long can this go on? Trying to set the Guinness record for on hold. I refuse...
