    First significant problem with LR AWD after 2 years and 28k miles

    Shoot... I just sprayed with capsicum small openings at the base of my garage door where little critters could get in. Seemed like a good idea from a previous post where he used capsucum on his wires or someplace. I should have known that a slight breeze usually blown into my garage when I open...

    Our Model 3, 2 years later

    Sorry but I'm confused. Without a long explanation, quite awhile ago I was reading some battery posts, and Tesla posters were saying to only charge to 50% or so and NOT to charge 90 to 100% daily. In other words just charge up to what you think you'll need. This might not be the correct thread...

    Teach me how to charge!

    I'm trying to find out what's the best way to store my M3 for 6 months leaving it plugged in. Should I charge it to 50, 60, 70, 80 ,90 or 100%? What do you all think? Would post a new thread but don't know how. Sorry!

    3 country, 7,800 mile road trip in 15 days - SAFELY. Range anxiety, oh no! (yawn)

    Did you say you only ran out of juice once? or did I misread that? Also, you say you usually went 5 mph over the limit. Did you get decent mileage at that speed? Could you go a little faster and be ok. I have it on good authority that going 8 mph over is good in most places. I know it's kind...

    Illinois Infrastructure Plan Would Raise EV Registration Fees to $1,000/yr

    Silicon Desert... I'm new to CA and have not driven my M3 here yet, it's still in Michigan. Consequently, I have not delt with CA DMV yet so could you say a little more regarding your statement. So for my move here is on a trial basis. I'm trying to come to terms with the increased cost of just...

    2500 mile round trip AWD ... findings

    Thanks very much! I'm sure that after I get underway I'll be able to work it out and have some fun instead of sweating it out which is most undesirable. On the drive out in our ICE we passed a M3 going about 30 mph on the interstate with his E flashers on. I'm sure it was a serious case of...

    2500 mile round trip AWD ... findings

    ABRP has me stopping 16 times from Canton, MI to Sacramento, CA. Does that sound correct for M3 LR AWD and 19's? Have not done any long distance driving. But like Evoforce said I do have long distance fear anyway. Have read every post on this thread. So I plugged in my M3 in the settings...

    I appreciate the TMC people

    No Tesla sales in Michigan thanks to the Big Three! They RAN to the Governor to get him to put a stop from Tesla selling cars in Michigan. Talk about being afraid of losing a few sales. Like that would really stop anybody from buying a Tesla if they really wanted one like me! So I had to go to...
