Acronyms

[davecal]

Hi, This may seem silly but is there a list showing the definition of all the acronyms used on these threads?
Maybe I’m just getting old but I can’t figure them all out.
Try not to laugh too much! Thanks

Which ones do you want to know?... Some of them are easier in context. For example, PUP can mean premium upgrade package or performance upgrade package. EAP can mean enhanced autopilot or early access program.

Hi, No particular one, many are easy to figure out but as a newbie who just picked up a few days ago I find my self reading this forum a lot a learning a lot along the way.
Just thought someone may have posted a list, I’ll try doing a search. Thanks for the reply

Not sure if there's a defacto list anywhere. The basics are:

AP - Autopilot
EAP - enhanced Autopilot
EAP - Early Access program (rarely used as EAP)
PUP - Performance upgrade package when talking about Model 3 generally.
PUP - Premium upgrade package
M3P - Model 3 Performance
P3D - Model 3 Performance (Performance Model 3 Dual Motors)
NoA - Navigate on Autopilot
TACC - traffic aware cruise control
FSD - full self-driving
AWD - all wheel drive
RWD - rear wheel drive
ICE - internal combustion engine
SoC - state of charge (as in what your battery is charged to.)
LR - Long Range
MR - Medium Range
SR - Standard range
kW - kilowatts (use when describing power, eg. charge rate)
kWh - kilowatt-hour(s) (use when describing energy, eg. battery capacity)
SC - service center or supercharger
M3 - BMW M3 (If people use this to say Model 3 you should correct them )

Forgot about that, I'll add that one to the list while I can still edit it.

RTFM...
I think I figured this one out, maybe a touch crude but maybe I should have looked in the manual first.

There's also an edit link to edit a post.

Another one you might come across, not necessarily Tesla related, but a general snippy response is lmjgtfy (let me just google that for you) There's even a website LMGTFY if they are trying to be funny.

SC = service center or supercharger

 

[davecal]

Lol that’s funny, thanks for the help

Preach. Took well over a month before my brain adapted to so many people using M3. SMH = Shaking My Head.

Read The Fine Manual is not crude, at all. WTF?

 

[JeffK]
