    LR RWD Battery Rebalance Success!

    If the apparent recovery is a software correction and not procedural, I would credit 2019.28.2 which preceded the reversal of downward trend. You could certainly be right that predicted range could be more a function of firmware than charging procedures.

    LR RWD Battery Rebalance Success!

    From what I’ve read, it’s not necessary to go down to less than 5 miles left to accomplish low end battery rebalancing, less than 20% should suffice. In fact, if you do run your battery down that low, you do not want to leave it at that level for long before recharging because that can damage...

    LR RWD Battery Rebalance Success!

    I never noticed the dramatic range boost although What I’ve read is that rebalancing occurs at at low AND high states of charge. In my example I repeatedly discharged below 20% before charging to 100% and got positive results.

    LR RWD Battery Rebalance Success!

    LR RWD Model 3 with 18Kmi. experienced a sudden range loss from 310 miles to 293 miles over about a week starting 7/29/19. I did three deep discharges down below 20% and supercharged to 100%. When the charge was finished, I allowed the "Calculating" to complete before disconnecting. I followed...

    M3 Range Loss Date and Mileage Trend

    Another data point: My LR RWD M3 never got the bump up from 310 to 325. I only got the bump down from 304 to 296. Is it possible that missing the bump up and getting the bump down could explain software related range loss?

    M3 Range Loss Date and Mileage Trend

    In watching the threads on range loss, I'm recognizing a trend in the shape of several member's battery degradation curves. It appears that many of ushave seen the same significant drop at nearly the same time. In my case, according to Teslafi, I lost 8 miles of range between 8/1/19 and 8/3/19...

    EAP Safety recommendation

    I offer this safety recommendation using 2019.8.5 EAP: Disable “Use HOV Lane” unless traffic shows significant speed benefit. EAP is really good at: 1. Keeping you in the center of your lane. 2. Adjusting your speed for cars in front of you. 3. Not hitting big things. EAP is NOT good at...

    Browser apps recommendations

    I recommend this route planner site with much more flexibility than Tesla navigation. Includes a better strategy of supercharger stops that maximizes time. Your most efficient supercharger stops end up around 20 minutes. Works fine in stock Tesla browser. Www.abetterrouteplanner.com

    San Fernando valley, Glendale California. Where to see all color model 3

    Go to any Tesla service center. There’s usually examples of all colors, wheels, etc. There is also a discontinued color that is now only as an off-menu special order: Silver. Don’t know why they chose that color to drop for production streamlining but who knows. It was the color car that Elon...

    Anyone still waiting for silver delivery?

    With a silver M3 with Aero wheels, consider painting the wheel cover the body color. It gives two distinct looks, covers off skews sports car, covers on skews spaceship. My cost was $225 at my local body shop. Have them mask off the center Tesla logo. I leave the covers in most of the time.

    Should Sentry mode be the default setting when car locks? Poll

    It should simply be a setting that sticks. Enabling every time is silly. Default should be OFF to get user to commit to sentry mode once with a disclaimer statement.

    Off-Menu Metallic Silver Paint [from 2019 - not available]

    I got my M3 in silver with aero wheel covers and love the color! It is the only color that lends itself to painting the aero wheel covers the body color. This custom mod gives you two entirely different looks to the car. No covers skews sporty, silver wheel covers skews spaceship...

    Traction Control disabled Fix

    My series of events was described as a cascade of system shutdowns. My Model 3 started by disabling the traction control, shortly followed by regenerative braking and emergency braking. Two button reboot was no help. I was encouraged that the car was able to diagnose itself and I never felt...
