    Car is doesn't know which way it is pointed

    Mine actually does this quite frequently in the morning coming out of my garage. Once I drive a few blocks or a minute or so, it locks on. I’ve never noticed it happening any other time when parked in the “open” as opposed to coming out of my garage.

    2018 Model 3 "stealth performance" ... that actually isn't

    Ah, ok. Just to be clear, I never doubted that you had the red line showing in the app and in the vehicle information. Tesla obviously did not have their &h!t together delivering your ordered LR as a Stealth, the mobile tech confirming and badging as such, telling you it would not be changed...

    2018 Model 3 "stealth performance" ... that actually isn't

    I've not seen that reported either but the OP even says that Tesla told him it was never a Performance. And yeah, both are extremely fast so if you haven't driven them both, then you may not know. I guess I was putting myself into his shoes so to speak. Had I noticed the LR that I did buy...

    2018 Model 3 "stealth performance" ... that actually isn't

    I realize some people are having more of a philosophical discussion (getting something that wasn't bought and being taken away), but the OP even admitted that he wasn't even aware of any performance difference when his 3 was "downgraded". He says he can't tell because he isn't a performance...

    What did you name your Tesla?

    "Acceleration Boost" option, discussion as to which models and how much quicker

    That happened to me too. I just put it in drive and went away. No issues. It literally took less than 5 minutes and I had a faster car. That's pretty cool IMO. Here's my thought on the AB. It was noticeably faster and much more responsive at almost every speed. Throttle tip in/sensitivity...

    Need Help Convincing Spouse To Buy

    Buy used. Look at it this way, someone already paid Elon, you’re just buying from another person.

    Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

    So it's really not a "new" model 3 then is it? It's used and like all things that have lithium-ion batteries, it has degraded and thus you will not get the full range as if it were actually "new".

    Vendor Prismatic PPF on Blue Model Y - Check it out!

    Definitely one of the more enjoyable install videos I’ve watched. Looked like a very professional job.

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    I just got my M3LR right before Christmas so I haven't had much time to charge and compare months. Plus I've used some of my free SC miles doing some day driving. Do you expect your monthly usage to be roughly 700ish kWh per month?

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    I'll check those guys out too. I did come across another company called Power Wizard that does a very similar thing. Have you found that even with the $10/mo memebership the cost is pretty similar to sourcing it yourself? Meaning, do you think they do good enough to "recoup" the membership fee?

    Deep Blue Metallic Model 3 Photos

    Not near as good of a picture as the others but I'll contribute. It is a 2021.

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    Thanks for the info, I'll check them out! Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks stealership lobby. :mad:

    Houston electricity/which electrical company? EV incentives?

    Hey Houstonians, which electrical company are you getting your electricity from? Any special EV electricity discounts you're aware of? Doing my research now, any suggestions? A hidden gem perhaps? Also, any TX or Houston specific EV incentives/rebates? I saw the TCEQ but it seems Tesla is...
