I wasn't aware of that but that is interesting. Of course, we shouldn't have to dig around for any list of voice commands regardless of which vehicle model. we are talking about (pun intended).

In the past I tried to collect a list of voice commands, unfortunately however some no longer seem to work. Also, I am guessing some new commands have been added along with the software updates. Anyone have a voiced command list that they believe is current? Seems like this list should be...

You can just label me paranoid but whenever I travel long distance, which is often, I throw a covered spare behind the driver seat. I also carry a very low profile jack, low profile pucks, and a torque wrench. I assume that if I get a flat somewhere out in south Texas Tesla is not going to be...

Agree, you would think this could be an additional low risk (for Tesla) profit center. I'd much rather for my money (and peace of mind) go to Tesla than some third party auto warranty company.

Proactive battery replacement, I'm with you. After spending close to $60K on the car I felt proactively replacing the 12V battery was a good idea. So how much was it worth to me to not get stranded somewhere? Well for me the risk of not getting stranded is worth much more than the cost of an...

My 2018 Model 3 warranty ran out in March and while at present I am self-insured (but I might buy a third party policy) I would prefer to purchase a Tesla plan. Why would Tesla, which now offers full auto insurance coverage in my state while also offering extended warranties on the S an X, not...

Not sure why but after almost four years of Model 3 ownership I now seem to be getting further and further behind on my software updates. Oh well no biggie right? Anyway last night I finally was messaged that 36.5.1 was available. I happily complied and started the install and as usual after...

Historically, If you bought from an individual and the car had FSD, it remained with the car. If you buy used from Tesla FSD will likely be removed unless you pay for it.

Here's my $0.02. Well I often do long distance trips (about 325 miles) and I would say the answer for me anyway is no. My 2018 Model 3 LR RWD theoretically gets 310 miles of range but since during much of my drive I am travelling between 70 to 80 mph and often into a slight headwind I cannot get...

I like the idea of that display (though the Apple car play feature is not worth much to me) but it would need to cost about half the current price for me to be willing to pay for it

I have used iPhones (6 and 6S) with my March 2018 Model 3 for more than 2 and 1/2 years with no problems. Recently however, we upgraded to iPhone X and iPhone 12 and have encountered problems. Seems the phones on occasions can become disconnected from the car. Not sure if this is an Apple...

Sorry, correction, meant to say, Is Toyota a reliable brand, hell YES (not no)!

My 2004 $86,000 (and I'm sure that would be more in 2020 dollars) Porsche 911 stranded me with less than 7500 miles on it after only a handful of months of ownership - had to be towed. My top of the line 1990 (it think I remember the model year correctly) Acura Legend LS failed so many times in...

Hmm, can't speak to Montana but here in TX I use Superchargers on my many trips to the valley in south Texas (315 miles). I just looked at my history and the average charge for about 40 minutes of charging after driving about 150 miles was $5.25 miles. My wife's Prius gets 42 mpg and that would...

As a 2018 LR RWD owner I would say buy the LR. For me range is king.

No idea if I was given credit or not. All I know is what I paid after examining the paperwork that I keep in my glove compartment. I can't speak for others on this thread but I have also replaced the 12V battery in all of my ice cars, usually after about 2 & 1/2 years.

Well I just now went and pulled the paperwork from the glove box and you are correct the 12V battery replacement was not $199, it was $124! Maybe I was given some credit for the battery still being under warranty? Anyway I would have been happy to pay $199 just for the peace of mind of not being...

Though I am still in warranty I went ahead and just replaced the 12V battery on my 2 & 1/2 year old 2018 Model 3 before it died. I scheduled with Tesla and they came to the house and took care of it. I also had them change the cabin filter and something else. I think I remember the battery and...

Bought a Tesla and sold a Tesla to Vroom. The experience was fine on both transactions though when I purchased from them they sent the car so quickly that they forgot to get it inspected, not a big deal.

I have only owned one Volvo and I loved the seats and the very solid feel of the car. I did learn however why Volvos last hundreds of thousands of miles, it is because you basically will have a new car by that time, you will have had to replace every single part and at great cost! Somehow...

Luv this post but how about some additional details of the trip, maybe the map of your route?

I've had a similar experience, I was somewhat uncomfortable sitting in the Model 3 seats early on but then after a few weeks for I no longer had an issue with them. Not sure why that happened but the same thing occurred with my 911. For the Porsche, I actually started experimenting with making...

Thanks, now if I could just get that update!

I have #6 wiring, 50 amp breaker, and that is fine for 40 amp charging. I used the same set up for my Model S which used a gen1 charger. The Model 3 can charge at even higher currents at 240V when using a wall charger so I don't know why there would be any issue? The statement that Tesla should...

I also have an early 2018 LR RWD and I have seen improvement in predicted range by taking the battery down to 10% then charging back up to 90% (100% just before a trip) and doing this repeatedly for a couple of charging cycles. It does seem to be the BMS learning and recalibrating rather than...

Well my gen 1 mobile connector is back to allowing my car to charge at 40 amps at around 242 volts. I believe what was happening was heat related and possibly due to neighborhood voltage drops during charging due to high utility usage. It was not related to the software update. Thanks for all...

Excuse me? Your opinion of when to charge and at what maximum charge current has nothing o do with my post. You limit your charging to 24 amps, well goody goody for you. And your comment about how you visualize me standing by my car and tapping my foot, well get a life dude.

For more than two years I have been using a Model S mobile adapter permanently plugged into my dedicated 50 amp garage 240 VAC circuit. I use this instead of buying the more expensive wall charger. By using this Model S adapter I can charge my car at up to 40 amps rather than the 34 amps limit...

While my LR RWD is adequate for most of my long trips (as long as I use the CS's) I still would like more range and I am willing to pay for that. For me the desire for increased range goes beyond just eliminating the time hit at the SC (lower efficiency/range at high speeds, use of AC or...

Agree, more SC stations will is a good thing but from my vantage point additional range also has non zero dollar value. You say more range would be great, but you didn't say how much would you pay for that additional range?

Guessing you were just kidding but yes our Prius can travel at that speed. When my wife, who has a lead foot, is driving it will go even faster!

I agree to get to an additional 100 miles of range obviously requires a big jump in battery capacity and this will never likely be available as an upgrade for existing models. What I was really after here however is what owners felt additional range was worth. Of course Tesla (and the rest of...

My feelings exactly and certainly more power, better acceleration would come with that much additional range.

Yeah I hear you but I'd still like my car to have more range because with a 400 mile battery maybe I could actually travel 300 miles on a charge at 80 mph.

I have a RWD LR Model 3 and I often make trips that are more than 300 miles. Traveling at 80 to 85 mph (Texas roads with 75 mph speed limits) and with the AC on means that of course I must stop at a SC. Stopping to charge isn't a big deal because I would stop to rest anyway but it made me think...

Back in 2004 I purchased a new 911 cabriolet (not the turbo version), owned the car for almost six years and I loved it, though it certainly wasn't maintenance free. I have also owned numerous other sports cars and I believe my 2018 LR RWD Model 3 is the best car that I have owned. I also think...

Uh huh, but any specifics?

2020 Model 3 Predictions Like many of you I have owned numerous sports cars, a Model S, currently own a Model 3 which I love, and I am a Tesla stock holder. Also like most of you, I believe Tesla has a bright future and I hope to own another Tesla, a Cybertruck, not too many years down the...

Thanks, never heard of Silvercar before but they have a rental site here in Austin. I think I will look into a rental of a Q7.

Thanks for the info, could it be the wine made things more comfortable? A couple of my passengers might feel that way! Anyway if I do this I'll be sure to stop at least twice during the trip and also move some people from front to the back seats.

No tall people in the group so head will not be an issue but a few are on the larger side, if you know what I mean.

So relatives coming into town and we will need to make a three hour car trip. I'd like to take them in my LR RWD Model 3 to give them the EV experience, maybe even let a couple of them drive for a portion of the trip. There will be a total of 5 adults however which means there will always be 3...

Thinking the same way!

Hey this is great and I love that you didn't make it happen by drilling a bunch of holes and removing lots of panels. So that ant stays up all the time while driving?

Wow the vitriol! Maybe we could lighten up a bit with the criticism of those who don't think the same way we do? I've already posted on this thread with a version of what will follow but after reading the more recent comments I feel compelled to repost. Please forgive me if you've read the...

Yes I'm with you, I bike between 40 and 60 miles every week but it is only for exercise and never replaces my driving. Sometimes instead of taking my car I do opt for public transportation but not as often as I should.

And my wife just added she doesn't know about all that reliability stuff she just loves the way the Model 3 drives! Nuf said.

Like many of you I bought my 3 for the greater performance, reliability, lower long term operating costs, home fueling convenience (aided by my solar panels) and yes, for the potential of a smaller environmental impact. With a plethora of EV's coming out for sale over the next couple of years I...

Luv your statement, oh so true!
