Hi, my M3 is a tad over 3 years old and has 24K. In the last year my range has really dropped off. I tried the low SOC to high SOC BMC calibration but it has only gotten worse, but that's not my main Q. I started charging ever nigh again after running it low then high over the period of a week...

Hi In this video a few seconds in you’ll hear me start the AC. After that listen to the clicking sounds. What is that? the sound you hear at the very end is me putting it in reverse about to drive away after the clicking subsided. I’ve had this car 3 years and don’t recall this sound until...

Is this possible?

Hi, I've had my M3 LR since early Sept 2018 and love it. When i got it i was a bit unhappy with some panel gaps an paint issues mostly due to reading this forum since I would have likely never noticed otherwise. I never took it in for service since I had auto pilot and thought it was some...

you can order from tesla. just call and give them the part number

I know the original post says to leave the car unplugged but I have been doing this method for a few months except I leave it plugged in on the day it needs to charge. The car will sit for 5-6 hours as I have it charge at midnight. I dunno what to make of it. I was down to 289 at one point, got...

That looks nice but I have an ebike and its more than the max weight of that rack

Hi, how much clearance does the trunk have on a M3 with this bike rack? any pics? did some searching and didn't come up with much for the M3. This looks like it tilts back to clear but curious how that works and how easy that is to adjust when there is a heavy bike on it? Thanks in advance

hey it's me the OP again. I want to get one of these installed. Any recommended installers in SoCal? I am in Orange County. Thanks

I have a 2018 LR with 310 range and decided to check out the tesla site tonight and see the LR is now AWD and has a 353 mile range. Is the battery larger? what changed. Thanks

How much did that cost and what is the effect on range?

I do not but am willing to consider the hitch. I know nothing about this so anything you can share is welcome

Hi what options do I have to haul this beast around in my M3? Thanks

good to know and you really need a decent charge in Needles to get to Barstow

BTW OP here. I have since done this trip and posted my experience with pics here 2000 Mile Roadtrip from LA to Colorado. First long road trip (Pics)

huh? Did you confuse 100ft extension cord for $100? Buying a Tesla and renting a car instead because i'm worried about range would drive me crazy.

I charged at st George and had no problem

i was wondering if there is a way to convert this to some sort of MPG

How do I covert this to something i can use to explain to my ICE friends what my efficiency was? Thanks

I was just passing through :-)

Yeah but I also did things in ABRP like tell it I was driving 85 the entire time when I drove closer to 80. I also said my departure SoC was 90% where as a few times I'd let it hit 100% and leave immediately so the battery wasn't sitting at full SoC.

Yeah I often get people saying "I thought this thing had 310 miles of range...we got 250 or whatever". I remind them that their ICE cars have an MPG rating which isn't the same at 80mph as it is at 55mph. AC drains on ICE and EV's equally. Heat in an EV is probably the only big difference.

no problems at all. Each hotel I stopped at had a Tesla wall charger and a j1772. I had to use the 1772 a few times using the adapter that came with the car. I took my home charger just in case but never needed it. I’m confident to drive this car anywhere now with a bit of pre planning on the...

how many miles on your battery and have you cycled it draining lowish and recharging? This is my info. I left with ~13.5K miles and returned with 15.5K. https://i.imgur.com/wn2xRcL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rxTBlP4.jpg When I set it to 100% charge it would get up to 308 and say 20-30 mins left...

It's "A Better Route Planner". A Better Routeplanner It has a many settings and is pretty complex but I only configured the top speed setting and the beginning SOC. I played with it a lot and found if i put the top speed at 85 it will often recommend to stop and charge when the car (during...

Yeah I wouldn't do that again. I have driven to Vegas before and stopped in Baker, 15 min charge and arrived in the city no problems. Since this was my first leg on this road trip I wanted to push the car to it's limit and trust it. End result the car was correct within 1% but my stress wasn't...

do it!!! it will be fine. I took the UMC (universal mobile charger) that came with the car and never needed. Make sure to take the J1772 adapter. I had to use that once at a non Tesla destination charger.

What i meant was putting gas in an ICE is much faster but after driving 3 hours and a few hundred miles my wife and I wanted to get out to walk around, stretch the leg, get a bite to eat, etc.. The time taken was the same as filling a car with gas. For example, fill car with gas in 5 mins, park...

2000 Mile Roadtrip from LA to Colorado. First long road trip (Pics) I never write blogs or long posts but I just went on an amazing trip with my M3 LR RWD and wanted to share. I bought this car 2 years ago and due to work travel and COVID I only have 13K miles on the odometer. An opportunity...

3b in Saint George UT was the problem spot. I charged in Primm and it was super fast despite being 115 degrees from about Victorville onwards. 4 cars in stalls. I originated in the Orange County area and made it all the way to Primm. Arrived 6%

it was 150 but the car next to me left. I jumped briefly to 40kw them when the next car came in back to the mid to high 20s. Took about 1 hour 20 mins to get from 34% SOC to 82% it was really hot out and I’d just driven 350 miles in triple digit heat up to 119F

Is this normal? maybe the batteries too hot

Hi, How many of you have done this trip? I am mostly over range anxiety but have never gone further than a one super charge stop. I plan to drive to Bryce and it looks like between St George and Bryce is cutting it close. 15% arrival charge with a lot of elevation change. I guess i just trust...

I have. RWD

I took delivery of my M3 August 2018 and love it. I was reading some articles recently and noticed multiple mentions of ~325 range. Did the battery change since I bought mine or is the 310 range i bought inaccurate or some such? From Wikipedia 322 miles (518 km) combined 319 miles (513 km)...

Hi I read on reddit that the v1 MCU could wear out due to excessive logging. Does this effect M3? also i read someone saying they were capping super charging to 60kw? Is there truth to this or just some random internet FUD. I’m about to take a 1k mike road trip and capping to 60kw would suck...

Cool Thanks. I’m a casual hiker and my wife is lazy :-) maybe I’ll stop at Zion for a day and then spend a few more at Moab

Thanks all. Rossboyle I am heading to CO for a wedding and only have 3 nights for something else on the way. If i had to pick one place to go and a nice hotel/spa would you have a preference and recommendation? I will leave on a Saturday, need to be in Durango, CO on Thursday . TIA

Hi, i want to drive from LA to Colorado for a family wedding but stop in Zion or Northern grand canon rim along the way for 2-3 days. I have never driven this far in my car and the nav doesn't have multi-stop trip support. I love the tesla nav otherwise and find it very accurate for a few other...

Thanks

I’m having a similar problem. I start a call and it’s fine for a few mins then the other party can no longer hear me. It’s like my phone is on mute. I can hear them fine. At the beginning of the call it’s fine but a few mins later it’s not. happens a lot

I’ve never used a non Tesla charger until this week. At this hotel my car remains on after charging complete and drains down about 1 mile of range per hour then charges up full again after a few hours. It’s been doing this for two days.

free even if you didn't buy the tires from them?

Can any tire shop do this? I noticed there are special pads to jack the car. not sure if every tire shop knows how to do it? Also I also noticed you can make an appointment on the app for mobile service but it doesn't say what Tesla will charge to come and do it. Please do not tell me it's...

How do you guys watch the sentry mode videos? It takes forever and i cant correlate the alerts in car to the videos on the thumb drive when I review them days later. It also seems to record a lot of blank videos. Lastly my 16gb drive fills in like 2 days. I can get a bigger one but taking...

Thanks

forgot the pic https://i.imgur.com/CJcdzQs.jpg

it is a 100amp panel on the outside of the house. the inspector said there "is no sub panel". There are a lot of spots already taken. I could use the 30amp dryer line as I have a gas dryer but was hoping to get a 14-50 installed like i have in my current place. I'm surprised there is only a 100...

rebooted. seems ok overnight plugged in. drove to work today. no issues so far. glitch in the matrix I suppose
