Let's see if we can get this to six pages . . . . .here's my contribution . . . .

Word - true dat. As you posted this, I was editing my reply above to add this at the end: "(Well . . . . cheaper than California gas)"!! Still, you gotta pay to play in the Golden Bear state. I grew up here, managed to acquire a little bit of property here. When I retire, I can cash all...

Yep. You heard right. Thems are the rates 'round these parts. PG&E is expensive here. And no, I don't have a separate meter for the car. 4.5 cents/kWh is pretty low, even for Pennsylvania. Or so I have read. The Payless Power web site tracks average electricity costs (up to date through...

I actually haven't seen too much all-caps belly-aching/screaming about this feature, and nobody so far is advocating for termination of anybody over it, but I do understand that in forums anybody can say what they want, so people tend to express themselves in perhaps less tactful ways than they...

No, not late to the game, and no, sorry, you're not on EV-A - that's dead now. Everybody who was on EV-A was switched to EV2-A in November of this year. I was on EV-A for five years (So . . . . not exactly late to the game), and was switched to EV2-A through no fault of my own (they just...

I'm not sure if anyone from Tesla who develops these parts of the OS reads these forums or not, but I don't think it's inappropriate or negative to point out the shortcomings of features on the car. I see it as part of the process of Tesla improving this stuff. Think of this as a broad-based...

What's also odd/interesting, is that the mid-range apparently is now getting 0-60 times of around 4.9 seconds. That's not meaningfully different than (perhaps essentially the same as) the LR RWD "upgraded" 0-60 time, also 4.9 seconds, give or take a hundredth of a second. I understand the...

For me, and everyone in NorCal with PG&E's new EV2-A Rates and TOU times (which is everyone that has an EV and chose to go TOU), off-peak runs from midnight all the way up to 3pm - 15 hours of off-peak, every day. What's especially odd, is that the vast majority of all of the employees in...

It's just so strange that they'd arbitrarily pick a time when off-peak ends, and make it not at all adjustable. Literally all over the country, off-peak start/stop times are different. Really odd that some thing like setting your own off peak ending time, which is a purely software thing and...

The new Software release 36.2.1 introduces this nifty charging feature, Scheduled Departure, which enables you to set your departure time, and then Tesla takes care of figuring out when to charge the car so it's filled up to your specified % right before you leave (or as close to leaving as it...

I see no increase in range, at all, with 36.2.1. At around 22,300 miles and 1.5 years old, my LR RWD gets around 316 these days, and I only ever saw an increase to about 321 when the initial update came online for my car (the one that was touted as bringing LR RWD's to 325). With the mileage...

Interesting comment, in light of regen braking. Have you tried the new setting, that allows full-stop/(H) on regen (ie, true one-pedal driving)? Though my LR RWD brakes have always seemed pretty adequate, with the true one-pedal driving with the increased regen at low speeds, I find myself...

Well, it depends on the passenger(s), how free this solution is . . . . . two kids are not "free". Fun, yes, but not "free" by any stretch of the term, "free" . . . . So, I guess every car with a passenger becomes a "voice control" car . . . because you can ask the passenger to do whatever...

Yeah . . . . I know. Tweets are cheap - there are a lot of examples of this in the Executive Branch, currently. Still, just wondering if maybe I missed something on this. Guess not.

Just wondering. I remember I think it was late 2017, or early 2018, when Musk tweeted something about eventually making all of the 3's functions/controls having voice control/commands. So far, though there are a few newer commands in some of the updates, this has not really come to pass...
