    Elon & Twitter

    I can’t really ignore his insanity anymore. His latest tweet: “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci” I’m on the verge of blocking him because it’s making me not want to own a Tesla anymore. Anyone else feeling this?

    Your input on Efficiency penalty in changing tires

    I am having the exact same experience with the exact same tires from Costco. I compare year-over-year, same average temperature (as calc’d by TeslaFi) for a month, and my monthly efficiency is FAR worse now with the brand new tires than the last two years at this time. Similar to OP, I’ve gone...

    Frightening Crackling/Zappy Sound Coming From NEMA 14-50 Charger

    I'd say it was about 70 in there. Note that this was the temperature AFTER he replaced the outlet with a new one. Clearly something was worse before - the wire was melted.

    Frightening Crackling/Zappy Sound Coming From NEMA 14-50 Charger

    Thank you for the thoughts. Wanted to give an update on this: I had an electrician come (the same guy that installed it). When he opened up the outlet, it was clear there was some melting of wire that had happened (you were right), as well as some burn marks on the outlet itself. However, he...

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    This is what's currently happening to my mid-range. Can you explain a little more about why the "chunks" show up once you start supercharging? Here's my experience. I started supercharging more at the 15k mile point and you can see what happened. I'm at 10% range loss in 22k miles:

    Model 3 MR Battery Degradation

    Thanks for your help. I'm always nervous to do something different from what the manual says, but in this case, since my degradation has been bad, I'm willing to try. Do you have a source for something that says leaving it at 80% is the worst thing for the BMS?

    Model 3 MR Battery Degradation

    I am the one in the 15% percentile of degradation after 11k miles. I normally charge to 80%, but only use about 5-10% of it in a day. So it goes under 70% maybe once a week? Maybe I should try charging to a lower max %, like 70%? My only issue with this is that Tesla themselves say to charge...

    Model 3 MR Battery Degradation

    Mid-range here. I'm at 11k miles, and down to 248 miles total range. 6% off of EPA rated. Everything I've read here is that it's normal, but there was just a huge survey done by Bloomberg that shows I am an outlier. Go to the bottom of this page for the chart. I am one of those dots at the...

    Creep mode, safer? But does it effect range?

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I've been searching around and can't find the answer to this question: Does creep mode actually wear on your brakes more? Just sitting at a stoplight on flat ground - aren't your brakes actually still working to stop the car with creep mode on? As opposed to...

    Best car wash in Philly/DE?

    Hi, I know this is extremely specific, but hopefully the only people that click on this thread are people around here. I’m looking for a reliable car wash in the Philly burbs area, closer to Delaware (or in DE). I don’t want to send my car through the automated dirty brushes, and I’m having a...

    Pennsylvania EV Rebate

    I did everything online. Never mailed anything. My status says "complete", but I have no check yet. Do I need to submit my signature page through the mail in order to get my check? It's unclear.

    M3 windows frozen and will not drop when opening car door

    Just adding a data point. We've gotten extreme cold this week on East Coast. Yesterday after a snow squall and temps in the teens, I was very nervous that I'd get back to my car and not be able to enter. I preheated for about 10 minutes before I got to it, and when I walked up it had ice and...

    Favorite Floor Mats?

    Does anyone have a favorite floor mat besides the ones on Tesla's Website? So far I've seen recommended, but did not like: - Toughpro all weather heavy duty (I do not like that beehive design) - 3D Maxpider (I actually hate that giant "3d" logo) Anybody else have some to recommend?

    Where to Buy M3 Accessories?

    Does anyone sell an extender for the lightning port charger? I can't get it to reach my iphone's port as is. It needs, like, a centimeter.

    Favorite and Most Trustworthy Tesla App?

    This was extremely helpful! I'm happy to say I'm now a user of TeslaFi and I love it! Is it worth $50? I'm not sure yet. But I check it literally every day so in that sense, yes.

    What was the range for your first full charge??

    Why between 30% and 80% when Tesla's own app defaults to 90% for non-trip charging?

    Favorite and Most Trustworthy Tesla App?

    New Model 3 owner here! Like yesterday new. I'm really interested in getting a third party app to track all the stats available for my car, but I don't know which one to get. I've heard good things about: Remote S (iOS app) Stats (iOS app) TeslaFi (desktop webpage) Is there a widely accepted...

    What was the range for your first full charge??

    Is it recommended to charge to 100% early on in the battery's life? I just got mine but don't plan on charging to 100 anytime soon. Should I?

    M3 windows frozen and will not drop when opening car door

    Not exactly. With every ICE I've ever owned, I didn't have to contend with the INSIDE of the door handle or the INSIDE of the window freezing up stopping me from entering the car. Not to mention it sounds like it's having trouble with just the cold, not necessarily precipitation. Again, never...

    Could you possibly point me to where the checklists and things to look for are? I take delivery in three weeks! Very excited, but want to be prepared as best as possible.

    M3 windows frozen and will not drop when opening car door

    Not to mention just needing to leave right away due to an emergency. There needs to be a better way than having to do something at least 20-30 mins before you leave.

    All very helpful, thanks! I submitted with current insurance, and it has now removed the edit button from my account screen. I don't know if it means anything, but I feel better having all boxes checked!

    Mid Range waiting room

    For anyone that got your VIN on MR already, did you submit all your details (including insurance) BEFORE you got your VIN? My insurance is telling me they cannot send me a proof of insurance card with Model 3 on it until I have a VIN. I'm wondering if I'm holding anything up.

    VIN Assignment

    Question about VIN. I ordered MR on 11/4. I have all details finalized on my delivery page except insurance, which says Model 3 must be listed on my insurance. I cannot get Model 3 on my insurance until I have a VIN. But it seems like the lack of proof of insurance is holding up my...
