how many are in the center console?
NM .. I found it >> https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/...del 3 has four USB,used to charge USB devices.
Don't worry I'll still be here with you. I think a lot of us are also just hitting fatigue and posting less unless we see someone that needs some commiseration. I ordered 45 minutes after it went live and still don't even have a VIN, so believe me, I feel your pain.
I asked this question awhile back and didn't hear anything. I'm interested in the WH/Mile average over 100+ miles in insane mode exclusively, with some mixed driving habits. It'd be great to see the efficiency difference, if any, from the outgoing model, with this much more power. Is anyone able to get below 300 without driving ultra-conservatively? My lifetime WH/mile is 285 on my old M3P. I know the LR (non-plaid) model S tends to be more in the 300-350 range (likely due to the weight). If we can squeeze 300 (or less) out of the new M3, but the power is on par with the LR-S, then that would fantastic news!
Oh hell no. I walked out to the garage. You're getting an answer.

That glove box usb A is the only data port right? All the other usb Cs are for charging only?Oh hell no. I walked out to the garage. You're getting an answer.

I’m so tired of this subjective opinion that “the model s is perfect for someone who doesn’t care about cars” don’t pretend to know ALL car people

Thank you sir.Oh hell no. I walked out to the garage. You're getting an answer.
I was asking as I want to run the test logic v2 device and I need power to the iPhone. It seems, I have to run a lot of cable. I wish they had USB-c port under the dash near the oem display screen.
when i test drove the LR highland, my 14 pro max charged through my phone case
Of course, that post is my opinion. That said I was an automotive journalist and have driven everything and been behind the wheel of McLaren F1s and cars much more interesting. Eventually you realize "slow car fast" is way better than "fast car slow". The Plaid has no business being used anywhere near its capabilities on the street. The 3P is the perfect mix of reasonable performance and nimble. I'd take a 3P over a Plaid even if the price of the 3P was twice as much. Again, it's just like my opinion man.
Well I can do 20 for you: 10 to Walmart and 10 home. Half the drive is country roads going 50-60 MPH with no lights and the other half is in "town": 45-50 MPH with traffic lights about every half mile. Sunny with temps between 90 and 92F. We don't really have "hills" in FL but the trip there loses maybe 40 feet of elevation while the trip back obviously gains that 40 feet back. I'm in Insane mode 100% of the time and don't see any noticeable difference in wH/mi coming from my 2021 LR taking the same trip in the same conditions. Trip there was 233 wH/mi while the trip back was 265, partly due to the elevation rise and partly because the interior was heat soaked and the AC ran full steam for probably 25% of the trip.
I have yet to figure out why it seems that a decent number of people feel like "this thing is right for me, so therefor it must be the right thing for everyone, and anyone who doesnt agree is wrong".
(meaning I agree with you, if that isnt clear from what I am saying).
In any case, for some reason every time "model S" and particularly the model S plaid comes up, the thread starts going off the rails as model S owners feel compelled to explain why they like their cars, and model 3 buyers feel compelled to explain why they like theirs. Tale as old as car forums, this general discussion has existed since car forums were a thing, just substitute various brands larger, more expensive car for the smaller one.
Heck, in BMW forums (yes yes I know, BMW again), plenty of people tried to argue in the 3 series forums that the "best" version of the BMW 3 series was the lowest end model they sell in the US, with the 4 cylinder engine. People always use words like "Nimble" and "Tossable" to describe this, just like they do here.
Anyway, this goes on all the time, and I as I said, I cant figure out why people feel the need to do it.
This is exactly why I'm getting a 3p now and might get a plaid when my kids take my car as a hand me down. I'll be 50 or so then and a bit more inclined to take the comfortable fast boat over the carver. Both are valid desires but my current preference is strongly towards the 3.
I switched mine to the libertyville location if you are in Illinois. They pump out the most cars and have the M3P delivery down. A lot of users from Illinois picked up their cars there and they are pumping out mid-late May orders now there.
Denver order. I have a VIN and my EDD changed from June 12-19 to June 10-19. I'm hoping that means it is "here" and just needs to get pdi'd tomorrow for delivery.
It's just basic human nature to want to feel they belong to a certain team and have an "us against them" mentality. Go to any car forum and it's an echo chamber of why their model is better than others. Car enthusiasts represent the epitome of this behavior, and to be frank I can't stand most of them online or real life which is ironic because I am also one.
But excited to pick up my M3P tomorrow! Weather will be 75 F and sunny so should make it pleasant to do a thorough visual inspection. Already bought all of my accessories (mats, mud flaps, screen protector, hockey pucks, mobile charger).
