Check these guys out: QuikRStuff - Proudly made in the USA. - QuikRStuff - Home of the Quik Rack Mach2 Bicycle Rack It’s from the designer of the 1up (some sort of split over ownership) with some improvements like the tray pulls out to make a ramp for heavier ebikes.

Using TACC on a 2 lane road, I get brief slowdowns approaching rises regularly. It’s like the car can’t see the road ahead so hesitates. I’ve also had occasional braking for hard shadows on the same road. I had a scary moment on a highway last week with a car to the left and a car pulled off the...

I used to live in Seattle. At that time, the average number of sunny days in January was 3. That means “there was a brief sighting of the sun somewhere in the Seattle area.” Now I live where it’s the opposite. But I digress...yes, I regularly see low angle sun interference that knocks out...

I'm 6.5 hours from the nearest service center. I've been once with my 2018 3D stealth to fix the turn signal and replace windshield from a stress fracture (under warranty). I need to go again now for a windshield crack right in driver's vision from a chip that ran within a minute of the initial...

Nope. My daughter was rear ended at a stop sign. USAA decided to settle with split responsibility 50/50 without telling us and immediately hiking rates. Don’t trust them!

To be fair to the OP, one of the reasons the topic keeps coming up is there's never been a definitive explanation, and there are lots of myths. My car as an example would charge to 308-310 at 100% and 278 @ 90% for the first year I had it. Then overnight it dropped to 289/260 where it remains...

Getting back to the OP, no harm in waiting a couple months, especially considering the recent factory shutdown, the Y being a new vehicle, and ongoing COVID-related changes to manufacturing, all of which likely impact quality control. But it's hard to imagine Tesla will say anything on battery...

Love my stealth 3PD. The acceleration never gets old :) As others have said, wind and road noise is probably the most noticeable difference coming from an Audi. Interior materials are not as nice in the 3. QA is a mixed bag. There's less to go wrong on a 3, but I'm on my second turn signal stalk...

I got the Pirelli Sottozero 3 with foam for Teslas and a set of wheels from Tire Rack. They were quieter and handle better on dry pavement than the OEM MXM's, which are getting close to replacement. They are a "performance" snow tire, which I think means less squishy than a straight snow tire...

It’s really hot in Moab this time of year. Durango’s about 2:45 from Moab. Cooler and more high country hikes.

Speaking as a rural resident (nearest interstate is 3 hours away), the choice isn't between spending more time charging vs gassing for long trips, it's between getting there and not. We have a 3D and ICE truck. I LOVE the 3 and take it everywhere I can. If my wife and I want to go to Santa Fe...

I bought EAP on my 2018 and declined FSD. EAP is nice on certain roads and lengthy drives, but features like NOA and Summon are of marginal value to me. TACC is what I use the most. Anyway, my thinking at the time was FSD is pretty far out. Easily 3 years from 2018, but I *STILL* think FSD is 3+...

This is really similar to mine. Stealth 9/18, 14,757 miles. I'm seeing 260 @90% charge. For the first year, 90% was 278, then it dropped rather suddenly.

Look, I never asked you to do a deep dive on locations, I just shared my experience. Durango doesn't have a SC, so I have to make it home. I've done the Abq -> Dgo drive dozens of times in winter and summer (kid played soccer in Abq). In winter, I typically have 5% left at the point where I have...

Actually, it's 222 miles and the Farmington SC is 25 min out of the way, each way (so +1 hr with a charge). And no, you can't make it without the sidetrip in winter or with a headwind (keep in mind elevation gain of 2500').

Obviously you've never tried driving from Albuquerque to Durango. Or to Page. Or to Flagstaff. Or to Santa Fe. Or to Denver via southern route...not that you have any reason to, but the fact is today those routes aren't possible with "10 extra minutes at a supercharger". If there were a...

Close one. I had a deer run from the side of the road directly into the passenger door of a Toyota truck. It was never in front of me and no chance to brake. As a general observation, the current FSD/EAP features aren't tuned for single or 2-lane roads at this point, let alone wildlife...

I had the reverse issue with a friend - husband convincing wife. I arranged to drop off our 3 with him for the day. Showed him around, and he noticed Dog Mode. He knew instantly that was the sales hook for his wife. They drove it together for a minute, showed her dog mode, and placed an order...

Yes, it is a little worrisome. Around the same time as the range drop, I switched from the aero 18's to non-aero 18's with Sottozero 3 snow tires. My car noticed the wheel change and popped up a dropdown to change the wheel size. I cancelled because the new wheels are 18's as well. I did train...

I've got a stealth performance 9/18 build that's gone from 90% charge of 278 miles to 260 starting a few months ago. Max charge previously was 308-310. I figured it was a software update revising range downward and not any real physical battery change. I haven't tried a max charge since it...

Show me a 4-5 year old car without door dings, and I'll show you a car that never gets used. They're just a fact of life and getting bent out of shape about it just adds stress and angst. Maybe I'm jaded after 2 teenagers. They managed to do much worse damage all our cars.

Putting aside the back and forth above and back to the OP's point, I really wish the steering wheel had a grip sensor and not a torque sensor. I get the nag all the time while holding with 1 hand or with 2 in a balanced position (torque from my hands cancels itself out). Squeezing a bit harder...

Happens all the time to me in a stretch that expands from a single lane to 2 lanes. The road gets wider, and the car centers itself until the lines begin, then it picks a lane (usually the same one, but not always). It steers hard into the lane and then corrects and centers. I turn off AP before...

A few of us discussed this in the acceleration boost thread. At least one other besides mine appear to be stealth P’s. 10/18 build with the red underline, chill and sport acceleration modes, and track mode. Discovered it in the same way looking for the acceleration boost option and not finding...

Yeah, the funny thing is I was on the fence about the acceleration boost because the car is so fast already. I guess I know why now. I got it in Oct 18 when configs were changing seemingly every week.

OK, I have Chill, Sport, and there's a red underline under the Dual Motor on the app and on the splash screen. I think I'll stop asking questions now : )

Huh, I guess I won't complain if that's the case! But I didn't pay for it or ever see the option.

Could someone who bought the acceleration boost post a pic of the Driving tab showing the Sport mode? I'm assuming there's now Chill, Standard, and Sport? The reason I'm asking is I cannot see the upgrade option either on the Tesla website or app. I've been back and forth with support, and they...

I would kill for the 100Kwh pack. Will trade in my AWD immediately. I realize range isn’t a big deal to people in areas with good SC coverage, but it would make a big difference in the rural west. For me, it would open up 3 common destinations that are only viable with significant lengthy...

So strange. My app does not have the Upgrades link, even after upgrade, uninstall/reinstall, and reboot. Nor does it show up on the Tesla website under Upgrades. Only shows FSD. I've put in a support ticket. We'll see what they say. Since no one else has posted with the same problem, I'm...

No change. Just emailed support. Weirdly, I had satellite and traffic disappear a couple days ago even though the PC trial is good through 12/31 and I bought the subscription. Support is having IT reinstate. So maybe there's a more general software issue with my account.

Thanks. I had already updated the app before posting, but tried a log out and phone reboot. Nada. The app shows the right version, but no upgrade link.

This might be a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the acceleration boost upgrade either on the website or app. I have a 9/18 AWD build on 2019.40.2.1 and received an email from Tesla about it. But under Upgrades on the website, I only see the FSD option. Nothing about acceleration boost...

Ha! Not holding my breath on any credit. I'll be surprised if they actually fix it in 2-3 days and I'm not back on chat again next week.

Just got off with chat. They said PC was turned off on my car incorrectly since I have it through 12/31 and then subscription takes over. They are requesting IT reinstate and said it will take 2-3 days. Kind of annoying. Fingers crossed it actually gets turned back on.

My icons (satellite and traffic) disappeared too a couple days ago, and nav is only showing regular maps. Non-P AWD here with premium connectivity good through the end of the year, and confirmed subscription after that. Anyone else seeing similar?

My 3 is in Durango, and I regularly see +30-40 degrees F relative to outside temp on sunny days. Santa Fe is 7000', so this wouldn't surprise me. As others have said, the app temp is only accurate after waking up, and sometimes not until you adjust climate. Try parking in shade during the day...

Definitely prefer the hatchback and (hopefully) built-in hitch for a bike rack. BUT range in our LR AWD 3 is marginal in SW CO. I already can't get back home from Albuquerque or Santa Fe without going an hour out of the way for a SC unless the weather is perfect. Impossible in the winter. Places...

I got the 18" Sottozero 3 with the foam and wheel/TPMS package from Tire Rack. Installed last week. It's considerably quieter than the oem Michelins. We have a stretch of highway between work and home that was recently chip sealed, and the noise level is easily half. The handling seems to be...

I had a terrible experience with USAA. I had been with them for 20+ years. My daughter was rear ended at a stop sign, and USAA settled the claim with the other driver's insurance company as split responsibility without notifying us. I didn't find out until our rates doubled. I switched to Geico...

I turn the heat on while plugged in every morning before leaving, and routinely have cold battery and limited regen. But that's on a 120v wall outlet, so maybe the battery heating only happens if the power supply is sufficient.

The article does make me wonder how Tesla missed things like stuck windows, frozen charge ports, and disintegrating undercarriage materials. I kinda just assumed they didn't do cold weather testing.

As another data point, I plugged into the ABQ supercharger temp mid-50's at about 50% SOC and 2 other cars charging and got 33kW. I tried moving to a different stall without a paired car and still got 33kW. Later that night, I plugged into Farmington, NM with about 12% SOC and temps at 27...

count me in - I still feel like I'm forgetting something walking away from the car, but I definitely don't miss having a fob to keep track of. Now I'm just worried about walking away from my ICE truck without the keys...

I picked up my 103xx midnight silver last week, and after all the reports of problems, I spent a long time inspecting the paint at delivery. Coverage is perfect, and there weren't any obvious paint defects. I'm probably not the most picky about this, but a week later, I still haven't seen any...

I ordered non-P AWD in early August and was notified my car is at the Littleton center now. Seems likely you could still get one this year ordering now. On a separate note, I'm in Durango and have the choice of picking up in Littleton or taking home delivery. I'm a little nervous about both -...
