    500 + Mile Range Debate

    Took a trip through all of WV on I-77. Plenty of chargers. Did it on purpose but don’t think I ever went over 100m before stopping to charge. I also have a CCS adapter for my 3 so I wasn’t afraid to get off the beaten track

    Recurrent: Model 3 drivers got 72% of EPA range with new cars, 64% after three years

    Something must be wrong with my car. I’m averaging 234wh/mi which is darn close to rated efficiency.

    WFH & Charging

    I have a fairly rigid schedule where I drive 40-60 miles daily. I set my charge limit to 50% every day and use departure settings to finish charging just before I leave I get more than 160 miles with 50%. That’s a lot of errands in one day so I very seldom ever charge above 50%. I do charge...

    Planning a Road Trip & Cutting it Close

    I just finished a 2000 mile trip. I started with ABRP and had it route using the second button from the R giving me more frequent stops. I wrote every stop, the anticipated SOC on arrival and the anticipated charge needed to get to the next destination. Then I put each of the stops in my car...

    Long Term Battery Costs, Fears, and Serviceability

    You think Facebook is bad. You should take a peek at some Reddit EV forums. 😫. The things people "know" are amazing

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

    I believe Musk has said they are going to slow down new installations and focus more on expanding existing stations.

    Some new data from research on Tesla model 3 cells

    I have a 90 minute bladder so I’m constantly charging from 15-50%. 😂

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    Thanks. My FPWN was 78.8. You are correct that that without using the lower buffer it’s closer to 75kw. My original rated range was 333 miles. I’ve used a low SOC strategy. I charged to 100% for the first time ever and it said my range was 332 miles. An energy screen calculation confirms...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    Just finished a 850 mile one way trip through all of WV part of the way in my 2023 Model 3 LR. Drove 77-78 MPH most of the way with AC on auto and set to 68. Averaged 4.1 miles per kWh. My battery is 78.8. 78.8 x 4.1 = 323 323/333 = 97% efficiency. Can’t imagine what is going on for...

    Battery Degradation Fixed by Long Distance Driving...

    Thanks. Mine was set to 100% and it sat for an hour and it was still 100 when I left

    Battery Degradation Fixed by Long Distance Driving...

    Thanks Alan. Yes, mine is the LG 78.8. I've really enjoyed learning about these cars from you as well. I'm very lucky that my lifestyle and daily driving needs allow me to be fairly rigorous about a low SOC. I didn't do an energy calculation after I put the car in reverse. Any idea why...

    Battery Degradation Fixed by Long Distance Driving...

    I have followed the advice of @AAKEE for the 8.5 months I’ve had my 2023 model 3 LR. Only charged above 55% 4-5x for a trip and usually driven 25-30% per day. For the first time ever I charged to 100% for a long trip just before leaving. It said 331 rated miles when I opened the door and 333...

    500 + Mile Range Debate

    I wish I had your bladders. 400 miles is over 5 hours of constant driving at 75MPH. I’m not making it 5 hours with a break of some sort

    Cost of upgrade path (basic AP -> enhanced AP -> FSD)

    Thanks. I saw the email after my post. Amazing to think this is probably the worst that FSD will now be in our lifetime

    Cost of upgrade path (basic AP -> enhanced AP -> FSD)

    Will the month start from the day the update is downloaded or when activated by the user? Is it independent of 2024.3.6?
