    Collision Repair Times Improving?

    Mine is not drivable so I've been using a borrowed ICE car. I've spent over $500 for gas. I'm a patient person, but I'm so ready to just buy a new M3 and sell this one whenever they get it back together.

    Parts

    My accident was June 19, 2020. I was rear ended while stopped at a red traffic light. Today, September 25th, over three long months later, a Tesla authorized repair center, one of two in Atlanta, still does not have the parts to repair my car. If it were 2018 and Tesla had just begun building...

    Tesla moments

    If you're ever in an accident pray hard that it is totaled. I've been hit twice, first by an illegal u-turn into the side of the car and second rear ended sitting at a stop light. Both times other driver was totally at fault. First time took 3 months to get parts and repair, second time 11 weeks...

    Model 3: parts and repairs

    First I love my 2018 Model 3... But last year (3/5/19) another driver made an illegal U-turn and without looking ran into the side of my M3. It took 3 months for a Tesla authorized repair shop in Atlanta to get parts from Tesla and get my car fixed. I could somewhat understand the long time in...

    After Killing Tesla Model Y SR, Musk Says New Normal Range Is 300 Miles

    Before I bought my Model 3 LR DM I thought that I would be fine with 220 mile range. I wanted dual motors. Afterward, when I realized that 75+ mph highway in winter uses a lot more energy than 55 mph city in fall, I was really glad that I got LR. Aside: About 6 weeks ago my 22 month old Model...

    Has anyone replaced their 12V battery yet?

    Mine died while my wife and I were returning from a trip. Sirius was just over 1 yr old with 30,000 miles. We were about 120 miles from home late at night on an interstate highway. My wife said "It has a 12V battery? Where is it?" I replied, I don't know. She said "Your an electrical engineer...

    Tesla Road Service -- Great Experience

    Do you know, was it a Tesla wall station, the portable cordset, or a Supercharger where it broke?

    Warning!!! Model 3 will make you immature (again)

    I've been doing it since August 2018. It's just a rush. I stop for yellow lights, make sure no one is about to run the light when it turns green, then accelerate! I let off before the speed limit to avoid exceeding it. The acceleration is addictive. And yes sometimes there are other fast cars at...

    I would have gone with Stallion, similar to Mustang but different, bigger and stronger, not a Pony.

    I’ll get roasted but here goes anyway

    I've had my M3 since Aug 2018, and occasionally still have that panic when I walk out reach for the key and there's nothing in my pocket My keycard works even while still in my wallet. No need to take it out. Of course I only use it when I go out to the garage to get something from the car and...

    German Court Orders Tesla to Stop Clearing Land at New Factory Site

    Interesting that Google can't find anything about Green League Brandenburg except as it relates to Tesla's project.

    What’s coming next in V11?

    I live in Georgia, and many of the speed limits are wrong. Either the car needs to see the signs or there needs to be a way for the driver to correct the limits or submit to Tesla to correct the limits. Otherwise speed limit warnings are useless.

    What’s coming next in V11?

    I'd love to see the battery state in kWh. I know ICE cars don't show how many gallons are in the tank, but EVs are better than that. The computer knows exactly how much energy is in the battery. Tell the driver.

    Attempt at having Tesla install wall connector.

    Voltage drop from 70 ft run of 6 AWG is 1.327V. Voltage drop from 70 ft run of 4 AWG is 0.835V. There is about 20W difference in power lost. Pretty negligible when charging a 75,000W battery pack.

    Attempt at having Tesla install wall connector.

    Losses from a 70ft run of 6AWG wire is about the same as having a 60W light bulb on while charging. By comparison losses from 4AWG wire would be similar to having a 40W light on. Not much difference considering that it is delivering 11.5kW.

    Tesla Model 3: One Year Review

    Well written and documented! I’ve noted over the past few weeks as most stocks including Tesla have fallen, that there has been a lot of concern over demand for Model 3. No one seems to mention that they have not yet started to advertise! Every single person who has ridden in my Model 3, has...

    Holding acceleration constant without cruise set

    I have a hybrid and a Model 3. Every time I go from the hybrid to the 3 it takes some miles to get used to the accelerator/brake pedal. If my wife is with me, she complains about the jerky ride. That said, there's no way I'm switching to chill mode. I enjoy the acceleration too much. My solution...

    Battery-Electric Fast-Charging Versus Time Explained

    The average person is not accustomed to starting every day with a full tank of fuel. It doesn't take long to realize that with a 300 mile range every morning, fast charging is only rarely necessary. I have traveled 12000 miles since last August and only needed to fast charge twice.
