I have a 2020 model 3 LR dual motor. When charged to 100% shows a range of 301 miles.
Does the car calculate the range taking into account the ambient temperature?
I mentioned the model 3 seat comfort on this forum a few weeks ago. The general feeling was that the seats are very comfortable but I don't find them so. I get butt ache after an hour! My butt is skinny too so perhaps that's the problem!We in our our S for 2019 dual motor 3 18 months ago and added a 2020 M3P last Dec.. Love them both but am curious if anyone else feels the newer M3P seats are less comfortable than the seats in a the older car. They are great for awhile but my skinny butt gets tired fairly quicly in the newer car while it was fine in the older car on a recent 14 hour drive.
My oonly big gripe is having to go to the touchscreen for the wipers and than having to push twice to get them going. At night in a sudden downpour it can be truly hazardous. Would love to see them on the steering wheel and operate at the first touch.
Have you used the voice activation? Hold the right button on the steering wheel, and say, “Turn Wipers to Auto” or “Turn Wipers On”. Works like a charm.We in our our S for 2019 dual motor 3 18 months ago and added a 2020 M3P last Dec..

Have to agree with you Fernand. My wife got into a little curb rash on the front passenger side tire. I ordered this same item from Amazon. I just took off the Aero cover and used a dremel to get the semi deep scratches out and then used a fine sand paper to get it as smooth as I wanted. This paint worked great and you really can't tell unless you go right up to the rim and inspect it. I highly recommend this, and I'm no professional rim repairer, and the repair looks great.@dano9258 for your standard 18" rims, here's a good solution. Grind down the injury. If you have a Dremel, use that, or just start with coarse emery cloth, and then finer. Once it's smooth enough, use this paint, it works wonders.

Appreciate your thoughtful write-up. Did you buy the Autopilot and the FSD option back then? I think you should request they take care of the headrest under warranty, as it's not normal wear, unless you spike your hair with crushed glass.
On your battery, your reported loss ranges from 8 to 20 miles, that's a big difference for people contemplating a Tesla purchase with range anxiety. Moreover extrapolations can be deceiving, and the estimated miles that the car shows change with software versions. I'd be very curious if you could specify your software version and tell us what your display shows if you truly charge the car to 100%.
On prices, we've had a lot of discussions. Many of the price changes considered various government incentives, features that were/were not included, and in the end many in the US have conceded that the price hasn't changed as much as we thought.
If I bought a Black Standard Range Plus with FSD today, it's around $7k cheaper than what I paid, but that's with a partial premium interior and a smaller battery, mine was a Mid-Range with the Premium sound system etc. But the standard battery range now is higher. In addition we had several thousand dollars in Federal and State rebates that are no longer available. So it's hard to compare. We certainly paid something for novelty, like Model Y buyers today, but nothing like a two for one difference.

Yes this is why i turned changed from miles to %charge on the display. Just looking for advice as I had never heard of 'balancing' before. Thanks!@DrPhil That last big drop, 10 miles in one month, is a typical example of why you're needlessly agonizing over this. That's most likely due to the software change. And it's not likely REAL.
No question there's going to be a gradual range loss, you can't cheat chemistry and physics. But I expect my car to be usable in 10 years. And the displayed estimated range changes with the software. We all know it's not what you're going to be able to drive, so why develop anxieties over it?

That, and a home charger that supports only Tesla, means that I will most likely have a Tesla for some time to come.
Yes - I usually keep cars 5-10 years depending on my level of satisfaction so it seemed the BEST but inaccurate response was drive it until it dies. I assume it will "die" at about 300k miles and I suspect I'll be trading up to a different model in 5+ years. (I've had it for 2 1/2 years and it's still the vehicle that excited me the most.)There is a serious middle ground missing between "keep it until it dies" and "keep it until the warranty expires."
