Surprise! Teslas don’t get their advertised range in most conditions. That’s due to marketing, not degradation.

I had the same Tesla repair kit and when I had a flat 2yrs in, discovered that the pump didn’t work! It still made noise but no air so I was very confused for awhile. I concluded that their accessories are frap and I got a third party replacement. Btw I believe the repair glue will force you...

Since you’re in EU is the quoted range above WLTP or EPA? Canada might use the latter?

Very helpful, thank you!

Been wondering for awhile… to drive in reverse, does MY have a planetary gear like ICE cars or can the motors run backwards?

Firing someone and immediately hiring them back is the very definition of a mistake. 🤣 Complete the following sentence: “Although we fired you last week, we would like to hire you back this week. We fired you by ______.”

Or as the news reports now indicate, sometimes you make a rash decision and have to walk it back!

Agreed. The OP had only one car which seems much more difficult.

Range 310 in 2021 MYLR with 76K miles and inductions. After overnight charging for the first year to 80%, I realized the error of my ways and charge to 50% most nights since then.

Btw the MY factory windshields can be famously low quality. (Search for threads about “sparkles” in sunlight.) Be glad you’re getting a new one!

You can now set the starting charge in the mobile app trip planner.

Colorado incentives are crazy right now! I just bought a new Leaf for almost 60% off of MSRP I.e. $16K before taxes for a new car. (Wish I had the justification for a second Tesla though.)

I wonder if the inevitable degradation comes out of the “locked away portion” or the “available portion” or a split between the the two? If it’s the first one, then this software-locked battery is the best deal going!

Backing out is fine, selling your car before you have a new one? Kinda crazy!

This means charging to e.g. 100% on a software-locked battery isn’t actually 100%. So from a battery health and supercharging curve standpoint a software locked battery is just as good as a battery that is not locked? What a great deal!
