2) I live in an older 1950's house, can I upgrade my electrical system to use a Tesla charger? What if my partner wants one too? Can we do two?
Depends on if you want to drive an ugly, uninspired car in a year, or wait 2 years for something better.View attachment 170586 I need a new electric car, a smaller one to go with my S. Pondering the Bolt vs 3 (with tough firmly in cheek). The Bolt might be very practical, but if we asked Chevy how many reservations it has for the car, I will be it is a very small number....if any....and those are probably shifting!
I just heard that Model 3 reservations are close to 290,000.
I hadn't paid much attention to the Bolt, so just went to chevy's site to take a look. Not even getting into the exterior design (ugh), the interior is full of molded plastic and econ looking seats. What I would expect from an economy entry level car. THEN looked at the economy $14k Spark (fuel version, EV is $25k) and it has a similar but nicer looking interior.Depends on if you want to drive an ugly, uninspired car in a year, or wait 2 years for something better.
a couple days ago it was announce reservations were at 400,000. general consensus has been the RN#s are a random ID and don't have your actual priority coded in them.Does anyone know how the reservation numbering system works? I wasn't in a position to put my money down until the 12th April. I'm number RN1086XXXXX. How many thousand in front of me? (I will be ordering the AWD, highest spec, biggest battery available).
TIA
That's about the same driving we were doing. You are spending about $160 month in gas and you will spend $50 to $60 in electricity. It best to plug the car in anytime your not driving, so every night. No need to do it only every couple of days. The auto air condition/heat in the morning will use plug power as well as any preheat on the battery pack, that's why it's always best to keep it plugged in.Are you saying that it is costing you $50-$60 / month to charge your Tesla? If yes, how many miles are you driving it / month? How often are you charging? How much electricity does it take to charge your vehicle (and what is average capacity left when you plug it in) each time? (from what % to what %?)
Trying to get a feel for how much it will cost/charge at home. My commute home -> work is 40 miles round trip. If I take our son to lacrosse practice (2x/week) that's another 20 round trip. If I go out to lunch, another 10, so 40-70 miles / day. Probably 250 miles on an average week. Figure I'd charge every other day, so 3-4x/week. Average spend / month on gas for my 2005 Nissan Aramada right now is about $160/month. Approximately a $40 fill-up every week (20 gallons).
Little (off-topic) word of advice: don't throw your reservation number around on the web. TMC can be read by anyone and people with bad intentions could abuse this information.Does anyone know how the reservation numbering system works?

The Model S gets about 90 miles per gallon equivalent (33.7 kWh of electricity). The Model 3 is 20% smaller and perhaps as efficient, it may be more than efficient than this but lets just say the Model 3 will get 100 miles per gallon equivalent.
So look at your electric bill and see how much you pay for each kWh of electricity and multiply by 33.7 per 100 miles. The US average is about 12 cents / kWh. At 250 miles per week, you'll be paying about $10 / week, if you only charge at home. If you supercharge, you may get those miles for free (depending on how Tesla rolls out supercharging for the M3).

Edit: Thanks Admin!!
