We were on vacation for 16 days, left the car parked in the garage at 74%. Checked it only once while on vacation. When we came back the battery charge was at 68%. Pretty impressive, only 6% loss for 16 days, while parked. I was expecting 1% battery charge loss a day instead there was 0.375%...

I have had my MR M3 since November 2018 and I have always seen at least 1% loss overnight except these past three weeks. Don’t know what happened but we were for four days on vacation during the 4th of July holiday week, left the car in the garage unplugged at 44% charged. I turned on the Tesla...

Charged it to 100% tonight at my level 2 charger at home and got 254 miles. 10 mile loss at almost 12,000 miles driven. Not sure if it’s battery degradation or some kind of software tweak. I suspect it is software since, based on the reports on this forum, this happened to many at the same time...

Hi, My mid-range was built In November, and I drive about 50 miles a day (am close to 12,000 miles). About two months ago there was a software update and right away at the next charge the display on my mileage driving range dropped about 3%. Prior to that I was regularly getting exactly 264...

Saw the same thing. See images! Anyone know if it’s okay to apply anti rust spray in that area and if it would help?

That’s right, you getting concerned with other people’s concerns will get you all tired up unnecessarily. Sorry but it’s not right you telling others what to think or not to think about their experiences with the car. It’s okay and I respect that you don’t care about the daily 1% (4 miles)...

Please don’t take my feedback as an attack on Tesla. I really enjoy driving the car, and I fully support and love the change that Tesla has brought on the automotive industry, and with our feedback we are just trying to help Tesla improve and survive. Once the competition sets in, fully, any...

Was on vacation from Saturday to Saturday left the car unplugged in my garage. The temperature in the garage was 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Left the car with 89% battery charged and when we got home it was 78%. So in 7 days, battery lost 11% charge, that’s about 1.5% discharge per day (30 miles...

Model 3 is the best car I have ever driven, and I enjoy driving it more than any other car. Constructive customer feedback should no be taken as an attack on Tesla, on the contrary I think customer feedback is crucial to Tesla’s success

Haven’t thought about that. I guess you make a good point!

I do on average 55 miles a day. I plug the car if I am below 100 miles of range and charge to 90%.

Last week on Friday, after I came from work in the evening, the car was parked in the garage and charged at 65%. As usual I was expecting 1% drop for the next day. We drove wife’s car on Saturday and after coming home in the evening to my surprise the car battery was still charged at 65%. I...

1% or about 3 miles loss of battery a day seems a lot to me just for running electronics, unless they are running / downloading / uploading hard data on the internet continuously. That’s how much I see on my MR and corresponds to the manual. Hopefully Tesla will do something to improve this...

I guess I’ll have to be more careful when I pull the tab during a locked or stuck charger. It has happened to me once in my garage and the last two times at the Tesla supercharger. Not sure why it is happening

I guess I have to familiarize myself more with the energy monitor screen. I’m not really sure what you are asking me to do or how to do it, or if it takes extended time to monitor this graph. Not that it would matter much but I would like to know if it is 240Wh/mi, 235 Wh/mi or some other...

Got the software update yesterday, and yes this morning at 90% charge I got 237 miles for the first time - that is an additional four miles. From the pipesteam info and my experience I can now say with confidence that the latest software update includes the 4 mile EPA increase - from 260 to 264.

Thanks for the info. I have version 2018.50 7e49f8a. It seems like I don't have the latest software release / update. I believe new software release should come up automatically. Perhaps it doesn't go to all the cars in US simultaneously. I have no idea why there is a discrepancy, but at least...

Could you please check on the info for latest software update on your car’s dashboard if it mentions anything about this? Thanks

Nothing to disagree there or with posts above! The reply (where you quoted me) was after I was accused of trolling, We just wanted to know if the software update reflected the EPA rated change. That's what this topic is all about. Everything else here is irrelevant to me.Thanks.

After reading the post few times wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or if pipestem was being serious so I just decided to delete the post. I have made $3,500 miles on my car and the battery has been charging pretty much at the same level give or take a mile above or below for the same %.

I charge to 90% as well and I still get 233 miles. Strange how the update worked for some MR cars and not for the others. Thanks for the info

For two months owning the car I have done 100% charge probably about 4 times. I have a level 2 charger from charge point installed in my garage where it never goes below freezing. Last time, (just as you recommended) I left the car discharge to below 10% at about 18 miles then I have left the...

We are going off topic here so I don’t want to elaborate more, but if I’m getting 240wh/miles that is a pretty good indicator that I will be getting 260 rated miles. This is what I care and how I gage any planning trips, and it has worked great so far. As far as charging, I haven’t seen my car...

Buddy we just want to get accurate readings on our battery charge. We depend on these readings and they should be accurate. Not much to ask is it? Or according to you as long as the gage is in the ball park area it’s okay? Or why have a gage at all, we already know the battery’s capacity - it...

When it’s raining I have to use the manual setting on the vipers because the automatic setting does not keep up (it’s slower)with the speed of falling rain

Same thing here! I have not gotten yet a 260 miles on full charge. I am expecting there will be a software update so that we get at least 260 miles if not 264 miles on full charge.

Well in the absence of Tesla's official explanation of this problem, of which they are aware, you and I can only speculate how serious a problem it is. Hopefully, and I believe, as you, it is nothing serious. Still it could affect safety, due to distraction it can cause, especially if one has...

Sorry but this kind of comment doesn't help the larger leap in technology and innovation that Tesla is making history on and that you are referring to. These comments in a public forum turn off potential Tesla customers. Tesla does not have shortcomings, just regular technical issues that any...

I'v had mine for six days and I'm getting on average about 280 wh/mi (60 miles trip to work and home) and the charge is pretty much right on a spot at 259 miles / 100% charge. I'm not sure if milage changes due to driving habits. I have never driven the LR so can't compare it. I have not used...

Received my Mid Range Model 3 on Nov-23 in Dedham, MA, as scheduled. Was an early reservation holder and ordered on October 21-2018. Went through the checklist and found nothing wrong with the car. Already made 200 miles, and it runs great, and the technology in it is mind blowing. Good luck in...

Just picked up my mid-range model 3 today at 7:00 pm. Had to wait for about 3 hours. Didn't find anything wrong in exterior nor interior. Panel doors I thought were little wide. Had to contact the insurance myself to fax them the stamp otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the car today. A guy Erin...

Congratulations Hithian! Thank you so much for letting us know!

I got an email late last night too but just saying: Delivery Appointment Confirmation, November 23, 2018, 5:00pm. Also it was saying to complete registration, drivers license and trade in preferences and payment method. I have already completed these awhile ago. I hope they deliver on the...

Congratulations! Did a truck deliver your car or was it driven to your house? How long did it take for them to home deliver since your assigned delivery date at Dedham? To bad they ran out of EV plates, I was looking forward to have them. Thanks for letting us know

Sorry to hear about your experience. This is exactly what i'm afraid might happen. Pay $50K and don't have a car for months, while paying monthly payments on the debt. Hopefully there is some sort of compensation Tesla will offer you for all your financial losses. I will fight making a payment...

I tried getting contact info, but couldn't find anything yet. Didn't feel comfortable asking for a number in a public forum from the guys who contacted her

Sorry you didn't get delivery yet! Did you already made the payment? If you get a chance please let us know how the home delivery went.

Thanks for the info. Will try to reach out to here.

They told me due to high volumes all cars will be home delivered. Good thing I called because I don't think I would have known and would have ended up disappointed on Friday. The way he sound it, it doesn't seem we have a choice, because they are cramped with cars. My car is in RI currently...

Pimentaco, Did they have you make the payment, despite the car not being delivered? I have an appointment for pickup on Nov23 but when I called today to confirm they told me they will home deliver, but I need to go and sign the papers. I really don't wan't to make the payment until I have...

Yes, possibly:-) The current scheduled pickup time is at 5pm. I will go around 3:30 so I can see the car while it's still light outside. By 5pm it will be all dark.

Early reservation holder Ordered October 21 MR, black/black, 18" Aero No EAP Got an email yesterday 12-Nov for a delivery date 23-Nov in Dedham, MA. No VIN# assigned. Delivery date could change. Wasn't expecting to hear from them till the end of Nov.
