    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    Here is a simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees: don't charge them unless the initial projected time to charge has passed. If we hookup to the supercharger and it initially says 45 minutes to charge to the rate set, what excuse could we possible have if idle fees are...

    Hi, I am a new model 3 owner and recently charged at a super charging station which had an idle fee after the car charged to the limit specified. But I dont think I saw a notification on the mobile app giving me a 1% warning that the charging session is almost complete. Is that enabled or...

    Losing 3.5KWh sitting in garage for 24h? Normal?

    Hello Tesla peoples! Enjoying my month-old Model X 100D, and just returned from a trip where the car sat idle in the garage while we were away. Each day there was a loss of 3.5 KWh and about 11 miles of range. Is this normal? Should the car go into 'sleep' mode? I have pre-conditioning turned...

    How much battery drain during standby mode?

    Does anyone know how much battery is used when the car is in standby (and not plugged in) for long periods of time? For example, in a hypothetical situation where I would need to park my car at the airport for a 10 day vacation (not that I would leave my Tesla at the airport, but this was the...
