    Damaged Model 3 - Advice for repair? (picture attached)

    Find a Tesla approved body shop. They are listed on the Tesla website.

    Picking out the best car has enabled me to find common issues

    Wait until your first massive stone chip, kerb rash, cabin rattle etc.

    Superchargers in Australia

    In that case I’ll be doing my Christmas drive overnight this year…..

    Superchargers in Australia

    That is a temporary site that is only activated during peak periods.

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    It sounds like he chargers to 90% then parks it where there is no L2 charger available (apartment complex for example) for months on end. That’s not suitable for low SOC due to vampire drain. Considering how he is treating the battery (high SOC storage, although temp is good) it has held up...

    Let's see those gas guzzlers!!!

    Got rid of both ICE and ended up with one m3. Eventually I will need a second car and it will be a model y. Would love a S but they don’t sell here. Will never go back. I get it for rare/antique cars, but for anything performance related the Tesla smokes them all so I don’t see the point.

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Not available where i live. Thankfully I just moved to a warmer climate where it is less of a problem :)

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    The charging to 100% myth for LFP is completely overblown. Charge to 100% as often you need to, just do not leave it there for extremely long periods of time (weeks, months). Days is ok. Weeks or months not so much. But even so, as AAKEE demonstrated, that means an extra 3% degradation. Does it...

    No i don’t. Car had behaved this way since day 1.

    There must be some sort of top buffer for the LFP as there is still a lot of regen when the battery is fully charged. The actual amount I do not know, but clearly if it was 100% true SOC there would be zero regen.

    The few times Tesla has addressed battery degradation, they have simply lied and dismissed it.

    stop looking at the range indicator at 100%. If your car had 10-20% degradation you wouldn’t even notice unless you frequently drive insanely long distances. Even then it doesn’t really matter apart from a few minutes more at the supercharger. Set it to % and forget about it.

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    Can you elaborate? I have been following this thread since I purchased my car just over 2 years ago. To my knowledge there aren't too many outliers when it comes to age vs degradation. I'm sitting around 5% and I believe most others are in that vicinity. From my own research across other sites...

    Indeed. Or maybe LFP is just that good :)

    Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

    All there is right now are the lab tests and what you see on tesla logger (doesn’t indicate charging habits). From what I can tell here, most cars seem to be reducing at the same rate regardless of charging habits. This has lead to the suspicion by some that the EPA range display is pre...

    I've enagaged lawyers in an attempt to recover FSD cost (Australian owner)

    I am surprised that the ACCC has not cracked down on this. FSD is coming, evidently, judging by what is currently available in the USA - however depending on our regulators this could be years further down the track. Furthermore, it will likely be a subscription model when it is released. I...
