I have a Model 3 with EAP and the only feature I use that is not in basic is NOA. I do like it on long trips, but it's not worth the current price. BTW when all the talk started about regular price hikes for FSD 3 years ago I used the $2000 the upgrade would have cost to but TSLA stock. Stock...

I think Tesla should re-think their past plan of giving free supercharging during emergencies. I know they don't want to be seen as profiting off a disaster, but there may be the unintended consequence of creating and incentive to use the superchargers more and increasing congestion. They may...

You have never said how far your commute was. If you drive in a lot of traffic and the 1 hour round trip commute each day is relatively short you will have no problem using the normal 15 amp plug. If you do 80 MPH for most of the 1 hour round trip it is a different story. I have a short round...

No need to torture yourself over "battery degradation", a windy or cold day will impact your true range much more than your change in battery capacity. Even low tire pressures will impact your true range. Rarely will the drop in capacity continue at the same rate to where you will need a...

I also have EAP and love the NOA and auto lane changes. To me the additional features of the FSD for those relatively few of us with the long discontinued Enhanced Autopilot still are not worth it. My wife talked me out of the FSD upgrade when it was still $2000. I spent the money on Tesla...

I was using the mobile connector.

I have about 900 watts of panels that I installed on a shed with a 3000 watt pure sine inverter and a small bank of batteries. I have the system grounded to earth with a deep grounding rod and have used the system to run a pool pump, sprinkler timer and various power tools (and a crock pot to...

I live in a state with no service centers. I needed mobile service for minor warranty issues twice and the service was fantastic. Great communication from the mobile service team who came and fixed things right at my house in a matter of minutes. Better by far than any other car service...

If your look at the affected VIN's it only applies to certain vehicles manufactured over 4 days in December 2018.

Nice to see the great review! I've had mobile service twice for minor warranty issues and it has been fantastic. Last time they came and replaced a taillight with some condensation in it and proactively changed some part in the charge port in literally 5 minutes - right in my garage. It would...

I charged off of 120V outlet for the first 4 months I had my Model 3 and never had any significant issues. If your commute is not very long, the only times you may wish for faster charging are before or after long trips. With daily charging to 80% you need to plan ahead more if you want to be...

Sounds like solar would have a quick payback period for you with those high electricity rates. Charging at night for 8 cents per kWh is great for my gas savings, but I have a much longer payback period when I have looked at solar.

This would have been a problem for any vehicle with performance sized tires. Rural small town tire shops just don't carry them. Roadside assistance from Ford, Chevy, BMW or any other manufacturer would have been no different except maybe only 1-3 hours for roadside assistance. Speaking as...

This works pretty well to prevent the problem. Though I do get paw prints on the windshield and roof.

Sometimes you need to think like a strategist for an auto racing team. There are times when they can go slower on the track and win by cutting out a pit stop. Same applies to driving an EV. I can just make a round trip from where I live to Boise without charging if the wind is calm and the...

That's only a 6% difference, I wouldn't worry about it much. You may want to re-start the charging after it has stopped when initially set to full charge, you may get it to charge those extra miles. I have had that happen before on one of the few times I charged to 100%. Don't worry about it...

This solution might be dangerous (as in her wanting to take over driving the Tesla), but you could let her drive. My wife was a little hesitant about autopilot when in the passenger seat, but once she used it on a long drive she is hooked. Anytime she has to go on a longer trip she prefers to...

I love my Model 3 and love my EAP features. I almost bought FSD at $2000, but my wife talked me out of it. Now at $3000 I'm not really even that tempted. Right now the only thing I know I get for $3000 is a place in line for a HW3 upgrade. I believe in Tesla and that they will get to real...

The way to increase demand for something that you are currently producing (and therefore must get rid of to make money) i.e. the cars is to decrease prices. So Tesla did that, or at least offset some of the effective price increase caused by the reduction in tax credit. The way to increase...

Didn't upgrade from EAP to FSD during the $2000 "sale", but have bought $2000 worth of Tesla stock when it hit recent lows. So far I'm happy with the decision. If having FSD makes Teslas worth $100,000-200,000 as Elon Musk predicts and a FSD upgrade from EAP costs $10,000+ I expect I'll still...

It doesn't always hug the medial double-yellow. I have a place I drive frequently where it splits from one lane to 2 where it always picks the right lane. (right lane is aligned better with the single lane leading to the split) Unfortunately, the right lane quickly becomes a right turn only...

Send the owner of the other vehicle a demand letter for the amount you want with a copy to their insurance company. If they don't pay file suit in small claims court including your costs of filing the suit and your time. Or - just let it go.

Are you sure he took a picture? I have several apps on my phone that use the camera to scan the numbers, but don't actually store the image in the phone.

Since your base SR can also be software modified to an SR+ (which they would rather sell because it has a higher margin), you may get another one, but you can expect to be lower down on the priority list to get a car delivered.

You think this is bad - wait until the people getting free roadsters start complaining about the paint.

I would get a couple more bids. The bid I took for my install was literally half of the other bid I got. Some report that asking to have a 50 amp RV outlet installed (also a NEMA 14-50) gets a lower bid than asking for a bid for an outlet to charge a Tesla.

My Model 3 has homelink and I love it. It now seems quaint to have to push a button to open and close the garage when I come and go. Only time I have to push anything now is when the cats get in the way when it is closing. (30% of the time -sigh) I would go for the $300 option if you have a...

Any permanent modifications (i.e. tint or coatings) to keep the car cooler in the sun will adversely affect your range in cold, sunny weather when you need to heat the cabin. Cooling uses much less energy than heating from the battery, so in my climate I'll deal with the heat in summer for...

The battery in your drone that had a hard landing is a much greater fire risk. The router or any other appliance you leave plugged in drawing a current while you are gone probably carries the same risk of starting a fire in the wiring. The wiring leading to your car and the outlet it's...

“When temperatures outside range from 80 degrees to 100 degrees, the temperature inside a car parked in direct sunlight can quickly climb to between 130 to 172.” – Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Only 120? Sounds reasonably cool under the circumstances.

Ran into this tragic story about a man who ran into a stopped tow truck on the interstate. U.S. Army Major and 2 of His Children Die in Car Crash While Wife Flies on Plane with Newborn I feel bad for the family and my heart goes out to them in all that they are going through. This does...

They also sell something called "Full Self Driving" that's not full self driving.

Can I get you to clarify the situation? Are you asking to buy a Model 3 that is in stock and not assigned to a customer at a Tesla store in Germany and being refused, or are you asking to be put into the line to be able to order and configure for delivery in Germany? I think this makes a...

The reason you are not seeing many used Model 3s is that owners love them and are not selling many. I saw an article recently comparing resales of Model 3 to other similar cars. Tesla Model 3 Used-Car Sales In USA Continue To Taunt BMW, Audi, & Others | CleanTechnica It also has one of the best...

The most sure fire way to make sure you get HW3 if you want it is to go look at an inventory car and check the build date. They started putting HW3 in cars in mid-April. April 19 builds may or may not have it depending on the production date. May builds definitely will, but may take a while...

The only time you need to do a range check is after 7.5 years or 90,000 miles - whichever comes first (enough time to put in a warranty claim before it expires.) Otherwise just charge whenever and however is most convenient. Save 100% charging for trips just because it is more efficient as you...

I agree with the others who have posted that you shouldn’t assume that your electric setup can’t support at least some level of home charging. Relying on supercharging is possible depending on your situation, but is far less convenient and my cost as much as gas. If you just want some basic...

Some of Tesla's sources use openstreetmap.org in developing their maps. You could find the incorrect speed limit there and submit the change. It may percolate up into Tesla's database. A better routeplanner also uses open street map. They had a major segment of I-84 listed with an incorrect...

If it were available today - absolutely not. When it actually starts in 2-3 years, maybe. If my battery really is good for 300,000 miles and the motors for 1 million, rather than trading in my car when I am ready for a new one I could just put it out on the network and have it make money for...

Elon said Model S/X went to new chip last month and Model 3 about 10 days ago.

Yes, blind spot detection works better than any other car out there. A couple of weeks ago the car suddenly beeped and started steering me back out of a lane change I started. I had no idea a car was there and thought the car may have overreacted. When I went back and looked at the side...

Do you want advice on what is most sound financially, or what would give you the most joy and fun? What are the tax credits in Ontario?

Tesla autopilot pricing is based on the 30 day rolling average of the daily winnings of Wheel of Fortune contestants.

According to Consumer Reports 1/3 of new cars today do not come with a spare tire.

I would bet the climate system transfers heat from the cabin to the battery with the air conditioner.
