The base wheels on all models are 18" aeros. The 20" performance *option* will be less efficient, but I haven't seen any reason to believe that the EPA tests are being done on non-base models. It would be great if we could see the full EPA report.

This resolves the minor niggling regret I had at buying the RWD a few months ago rather than waiting for AWD. Where I live (Utah) there are still plenty of places that are interesting to go to but have no Superchargers and every mile counts. I did a 290 mile drive through the mountains on a 90+...

The range estimator in the car already takes that derating into account. The unmodified EPA range for the Model 3 LR RWD is 334 miles. Tesla derated that to 310 and they calibrated the range estimate in the car to the derated value. So when you see 317 you aren't seeing the EPA-measured value...

5000 was a production goal, not a delivery or shipment goal. Now it's quite possible - likely even - that they stockpiled batteries, drivetrains, and other parts in order to do a burst of 5000+ for a single week so they can claim hit their number even if they can't maintain it consistently yet...

If it's any reassurance, as long as you are seeing a solid green light then you are wired correctly - it does robust checking of the circuit before powering up. Unless you just have an outright faulty unit the only issues which may be revealed when plugging into a car to charge are incorrectly...

The 3 does not currently have the calendar feature. I don't know if they plan to add it.

This is one of those cases where the amazing experience of driving in a car from the future is interrupted to remind you that not *all* of the car is from the future. The maps and media experience is not on par with what you may used to from mobile apps or other vehicles.

I've settled a similar technique to quell the nag, but it seems less safe than the old 10 and 2 that always causes nags for me. Tesla needs to work on better detection if it's going to be so prone fo false negatives. People should be able to just drive the car and not have to learn a different...

The main panel will be about 10 feet from the garage in an adjacent utility room.

We are also building a new home and I've been back & forth on future-proofing. In the end I've decided to just run a 60A circuit for the HPWC on the hope that it can use the rear entry on the HPWC for a cleaner install (no gray junction box next to the HPWC - no hope of avoiding that with 100A)...

I don't have the dimensions handy but I did spend a night sleeping in the back. I'm 6' tall and found I had to sleep a little bit diagonally to fully stretch out. If I adjusted the seats all the way forward it might just be possible to get a 76" mattress in there.

Same here. I get frequent nags at 10 and 2. My nag-elimination grip is to hold on with one hand and let the weight of my arm keep a constant light pressure on the wheel. It seems less safe, but it shuts up the nag. I'd like to see an improved grip detection technology in future hardware that...

I sure hope my similar situation that developed this morning doesn't end up requiring over a month of outstanding customer service to resolve.

Whenever you come to a complete stop if you depress the brake firmly it engages the brakes and holds them until you step on the accelerator.

Why would you doubt that? With the exception of a handful of "restricted" high voltage and electronic components Tesla will sell you any part on the car. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to buy the new seats, though it's probably more expensive than most people would want to pay.
