    120 versus 240 charging versus battery life

    Efficiency of Charging at 220v versus 120v?

    I am trying to decide whether to shell out for a 220v outlet in my garage for my Model 3. Does a charge cost less when it's 220v than when it's 120v? If so, how much of a saving is it?

    Phantom Drain is Gone!?

    I installed 2019.32.12.2 about two weeks ago. Eight days ago I departed for a long trip. In the past my Model 3 has lost about 0.5% per day ( my prior Model S was typically about 1%). This time after eight days I have precisely the same charge I had when I left. I did plug in the car but I set...
