Tesla just informed me that the Battery Fuse service is covered under the 8 year HV Battery Warranty in my 2017 Model S 75D. They even scheduled the service and said it is a same day fix. Glad I did not get charged for this! It does seem like a safety issue, so even if the battery warranty ran...

I also have this problem on my 2017 Model S 75D. It's easy to spot because the passenger side seat can go much more vertical than the driver's side.

Correction: The V2 superchargers are increasing from 120KW max to 145KW max (not 100 to 125). Tesla will gradually roll that change out starting this spring: Tesla begins to unlock V2 Supercharger's 145 kW charge rate in new software roll out

One thing you can do (suggested by TeslaBjorn on youtube) is put 19" wheels on the performance model 3 after buying. He thinks that will increase the efficiency to be the same as the model 3 dual motor, since the performance and dual motor are essentially using the same motor and battery. Not...

I just drove 300 highway miles, mostly on autopilot in my Model 3. Here are my top 2 observations: 1) When you are in the right lane and a car comes up an on-ramp to your left, often motorists enter the highway 10-20 MPH slower than the flow of traffic. The autopilot completely misses the...

I also think this is fairly normal. I have a Model S 60D that was upgraded to 75D and uncorked, as well as a Model 3 Performance. They both have limited regen at 50F. It has to be about 55-60F to avoid this. I generally notice the warning from the start of driving, and sometimes it goes off...

Jay- Totally agree! The P3D+ is way more fun than the V8 Mustang GT that I used to have without the wallet-draining climate-killing 13MPG drinking habit. Have some fun! But be careful with all that speed. It's addictive.

JeffK, It all happened in less than a second so it's hard to recall exactly, but I think I pressed about halfway to the floor while watching my driver side mirror and felt the beginning of a lurch forward and then a sudden pullback with the audible warning. The M3 definitely applied the brakes...

My 2018 P3D with 20" wheels has 700mi on it with a lifetime average of 319Wh/mi. If you remove the 1st exciting lead-footed week from that, it is at 310 Wh/mi for the last 450 mi. I mainly commute on surface streets in the San Jose CA area. I have not been driving for efficiency since it is...

Last Thursday I nearly got into an accident with my new M3 Performance, but the car intervened with flashing red signals , an audible warning and sudden decelleration before I hit someone. I was trying to merge onto an expressway with a very short ramp and traffic was stopped in front of me in...
