    under 10,000 per year

    Why not? AP makes perfect sense. On highway with heavy traffic, I don't want to drive in any car. The fun can begin after the traffic.

    SR Model 3 Discontinued?

    Have you charged with superchargers? Wondering if the rate follows those charts: Updated Model 3 Charging Profiles & Durations, which should mean this battery is completely top locked, similar to Model S.

    Downgrade SR+ and get $2000 back?

    Has anyone actually tested the charging rate on a limited SR? Really wondering if the battery is top or bottom locked or both.

    Charging 100% for Model 3 Standard

    Yeah that's a good way to tell how it is limited. Anyone actually tried this on the SR? If confirmed on SR I can't see a reason for not downgrading.

    [Mac] How to Format USB into 2 Partitions for DashCam and Music

    Looks like Tesla should start selling such a flash stick on the website.

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    Haha see you. Some people never understand that the car might be a fixed cost. Nobody factors in the house cost when considering whether it's cheaper to cook at home or go to restaurants: people buy/rent house anyways. Some people buy car anyways regardless of commuting or not. There is just an...

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    Except that it's not a purchase (I don't know why a car becomes "life decision", maybe safety?) decision lol. It might be hard for you to understand but... Some people don't buy a car for commute. For me the "purchase decision" was already justified for weekend road trip etc utilities. I have...

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    Read the title again. May I know what "decisions" are you referring to being justified?

    theory for hold up of locked SR battery

    There is zero chance SR+ is quicker than LR RWD... But yeah a small improvement will convince me to stay on SR+ like the same 5.0s as LR RWD or premium connectivity.

    So apparently phone charging cables, 14-50 adapter, and J1772 are not included anymore

    You might want to skip those cords and get a wireless charging pad if your phones support.

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    Exactly, except that I never find a meaningful difference between low mileage and high ones. What is your estimate on the additional cost of driving a Model 3 300mi compared to 100mi every week?

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    Mileage based depreciation maybe. Insurance cost of driving more compared with driving less - I don't find a meaningful difference. Can you provide an example?

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    The OP (and I) ALREADY has/needs/wants a Tesla for the weekends. How does a Honda 1992 make any sense for the weekdays as it is going to incur an extra cost and takes my second garage space? How hard is it for you to understand the question: should I drive my ALREADY owned...

    Tesla Model 3 Standard Range

    Do you have something to back up that they are doing it differently this time? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me as the disabled part can degrade and won't be able to upgrade later. Another thing is charging speed. A physical 220mi will charge slower than 240mi, but a software one will have the...

    Commuting by Tesla is cheaper than public transport

    You completely miss the point of the discussion. It's "should I drive to work or take public transportation if I already have a Tesla?" or "if I'm going to buy a Tesla?" I actually had the same thinking. Didn't consider Audi etc at all. This is indeed a comparison beteeen Tesla and public...
