So, during driving there is no way to activate this heating zone? It seems Tesla need “tuning”: - separate switcher for mirrors heater; - separate switcher for heater of front cameras. I hope I won’t come to adding manual switcher

Does anyone have some additional info regarding how to activate front cameras heating during driving? I have 2022 EU LR and this “feature” seems doesn’t work at all. I got a lot messages “front camera blocked or blinded”. I consider to put there silica gel and try to seal it (when it will be...

My wild guess is that they have "Qi" and provide 5-15W, but iPhone (even the newest) can take only 5-7.5W I'd say these are rather "supporters" than chargers. And it's OK)

iPhone can take only 7.5W via Qi, so it takes around 100 minutes to charge your phone. Tesla M3 can provide up to 15W according to the manual (I have M3 2022):

I'm wondering if the "gap" on my left side is OK? The right side doesn't have any gap at all! Overall, I don't have any complaints about the light, but still this is a little bit annoying.

Built-in consumption graph. It sounds absurd, but after I switched on "Standard" mode the average decreased from 152 to 150 Wh/km. Yeah, there are dozens of possible reasons for that, but the placebo effect was instant) I feel the same way. But I still want to try to check it.

Yeah, it's true. I think the same way. But, maybe since I have lane control and use autopilot a lot (I guess more than 90% of the freeway drive, and line change is manual) "Sport" mode increases consumption. It looks ridiculous. But I have to double-check. I'll have a long ride, so I'll try...

Don't have any proof yet, but I suspect the "Sport" mode is a little bit more consumptive (~2%). Returned back to "Standard". It is really difficult to measure it.

I want to see the real field testing before I believe this statement. My M3LR 2022 has a range of 567 km (355 miles) and it is the real range at a speed of 100 km/h (and soon I'll try that, with AC on and some music. I need to travel 551 km). They removed the side "air intakes" - I don't believe...

Yeah, I saw it. Still, I want to see some real empirical tests of very low SoC, that it doesn't affect capacity/power.

For how long you have been doing this? Did you test your battery capacity at the very beginning? It's very interesting to have empirical results because I read very skeptical opinions regarding below 20% SoC.

Yeah. I turned it on when I had a long trip (502 km) as you explained earlier, to check when I would have to decrease the speed because I started from 110 km/h. For about 300 km I drove at 110 km/h, then I switched to 100 km/h and the final 150 km was mixed speed, mostly ~70 km/h and consumption...

Yes, you are right! I added Aero caps, switched wheels in settings, and forgot about it)

Finally, I charged it to 100%: it showed 567 km. It's a little weird: the first photo was taken June 10, 2023 (previous owner, 3000 km ago) it was 551km, and the second - I did it on August 25: 567 km.

I guess so, but I think it reduced by around 3dB. And two fewer points where ice can hold
