45,000 miles 2018 model. 100% charge I get 280

LG Chem, alongside CATL, supplies battery cells for Tesla’s Model 3 sedan built in Shanghai, where production began last year and whose current annual capacity is 250,000 cars. T https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/01/lg-chem-to-double-china-battery-capacity-to-meet-tesla-demand.html

Than post a link instead of an insult? Every google search tells me that CATL or LG makes them for China, not Panasonic.

Got a source on that as I am seeing different.

Curious why you think it is affecting you, when consensus is that it is the china made batteries (which bjorn would have) You have an USA model, correct?

nah, too expensive. a few nicks don't bother me. I would rather take another vacation haha.

I am the OP and this thread came about because I just completed a Chicago to Tampa and back trip last week. 3 Adults in the car and about 26 hours each way total.

Agreed, the more worrisome part was the guard calling the police on me.

After my recent road trip, I have to say Chattanooga. Pulled up with 9 miles remaining, on Christmas day in the middle of the night. There was not a single person around and the gate was down to the parking area and not opening or giving tickets. There was ZERO chance I was making any other...

If Biden wins revisit this math when the fuel subsidies are removed and gas is $6-$8 a gallon and SCs cost remains the same.

my 2016 Acura RDX costs more to Insure than my 2018 Tesla model 3 LR AWD with State Farm.

Touch the door handle?

It doesn't affect your ability to use the phone as a key. If that were the case anywhere without cell coverage you would have no key.

I am thinking of Five Guys for lunch

I changed my filters myself about a month ago. I was worried about it after reading the instructions, but it was actually really easy if you have the right tool. But the smell has not come back, at least yet :) Just don't be dumb like I was for the first half, and move the passenger seat all...

It is a software fix to dry out the AC to stop the smell. (at least that is my understanding)

Not giving an opinion on the matter, this is a copy and paste from the Tesla website. Leave Your Tesla Plugged In We always recommend leaving your Tesla plugged in when it’s not in use. This is especially helpful when it’s cold as staying connected helps your battery retain the heat it needs to...

Three main items drain battery when not in use. 1. Cabin Overheat protection (I have this disabled) 2. Summon Standby (I also have this disabled and still use summon fine) 3. Sentry mode (this will vary based on how often it is triggered, but all the info above is correct)

Please also read up on degradation. It is not measured using the guess-o-meter. You will see that go up and down all the time, a degraded battery never goes back up.

You mean companies make good money on used car resales? Who would have thought it.... The tints was likely a legal issue so they can sell it in any state.

Welcome back Jason

Wow, me too and I am in Chicago?!?! Not complaining, but this is a 2018 with no reason for free SC. Specs Long Range All-Wheel Drive All Black Premium Interior Red Multi-Coat 18’’ Aero Wheels Enhanced Autopilot Full Self-Driving Capability Acceleration Boost Free Supercharging is...

My advice is to come to your own conclusions. I am not saying everything is perfect, but many people on the internet have an agenda with their comments. Just do what you did for every other car purchase you have made.

Lets keep the assumptions out and stick to reality. Thanks OP for clearing/cleaning that up.

When it gets to the chorus the entire car just vibrates

It works in the USA, but not for everything. You cannot scroll the wheel to change lanes or start moving from a stoplight/sign every time. I am still trying to figure out why sometimes a stop light/sign will require tension on the wheel and ignore scroll wheels. Seems fairly random thus far, if...

My kid is ruining my tires with the racing games!!!

May be good to update the OP with that info. One bad apple does not ruin the entire bushel...

They are on a meteoric rise , the likes of which I do not think any car manufacturer has ever seen in history, and you are calling for them to go out of businesses? /boggle

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but every single person I have let into my car left wanting to buy a Tesla. Every single person. You should also stay away from assumptions like "I have my doubts that pleather will hold up." Why not ask the people who have been driving them for years. It...

Summon Standby is also on by default isn't it? Try disabling the items mentioned and see if it helps. 1. Cabin Overheat Protection 2. Summon Standby You will lose some to Sentry, but I have seen the same as other at about 1 mph (or 1.3 as above). You can figure out the % based on your battery...

It goes up and down, if it was true degradation it would never go back up. Relax it is normal fluctuations. Range Tips

True Story

I cannot speak for anyone else, but I can assure you my car does not have those issues. It is definitely not "every" car.

I am so confused about the "poor quality" remarks. Are people really more worried if the hood is .0001 farther to the left than the right? To me "quality" means how reliably it gets me to where I am going without any issues or surprises and how often it needs service. Thus far it is the highest...

Before I bought my Tesla I had read forums with people complaining about so many things that I also brought a 3 page checklist to the purchase. Every single item was perfectly fine. I have since used that checklist on 2 other ICE cars we bought. Both cars had numerous issues on the list. at 18...

nope pretty easy tech to use. All Our Patent Are Belong To You

So you would open your business to cater to 10% of the market instead of 90% of the market. Got it... Good luck on your future business endeavors. Here is an graphic for the people wondering what a CCS plug is like. Do you think they designed that with "expanding EV adoption" in mind?... Or...

Is this where we are now? Every Tesla crash needs a dedicated thread?

The USA is driven by supply and demand. At some point these charging station will want to make money. If you owned a charging station and looked at this graph, what plug would you install?

You may as well stop holding off, that is not going to happen. CCS in the united states has a no Adapter requirement due to the need for Liquid cooling which cannot be accomplished through an adapter. If someone ignores that and makes one they will have to cap it at around Chademo speeds due to...

I don;t think anyone has a problem with other products. It is every article for another product seems to state untrue facts about Tesla.

They are too embarrassed to admit where they get their "Facts". It is easy tear others down and point fingers, but much harder to have the finger pointed back.

will be interesting as the US spec says "no adapters" not sure on the legal implications of making an adapter when the spec says not to. Hope they have good insurance.

The CCS standard in the USA must be liquid cooled and as such cannot have an adapter (or if it did would have to be capped much lower than people would be happy with. In EU it is not an adapter.

The Gas Station

Very noticeable with the "butt dyno" and the "wife alarm"

you can do it yourself now (almost). Get a normal LR AWD and buy the performance upgrade option. That is what I did.
