    Acceleration boost upgrade, no software update needed?

    If someone from Tesla marketing or sales were reading this thread, they would immediately downgrade the stock vehicles performance to make the boost upgrade less debatable.

    Acceleration boost upgrade, no software update needed?

    I think as we have more and more EVs on the road those fractions of seconds at any charge level will count. For now, sadly, its mostly ICEs around you, and Im really just yawning when dealing with them on lane changes or otherwise, even with the stock car on 'CHILL'. Still Ive had less than a...

    New SDG&E rate: EV-TOU-5

    Figured it out with help from a mailing list at work. Turns out you have to take ( or re-take in my case ) a survey where you should mention you have an EV. The option lights up immediately after that.

    Acceleration boost upgrade, no software update needed?

    Im still getting used to 'STANDARD' setting and the expressions of bewilderment on all passengers when ramping onto a freeway. Not sure why I'd need a few more fractions of a second worth of performance when Im still scared of 'STANDARD' and mostly drive on 'CHILL'. Is there any functionally...

    New SDG&E rate: EV-TOU-5

    Hello to anyone still watching this thread, I bought a model 3 and have been charging it in super off peak hours. I am on a non-EV plan, however I am unable to switch to one online. It appears to allow me to switch to any other non-EV plan but it won't let me click the "enroll" button for the...

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    Sweet, I also noticed that my Wh/mi is best ( < 200 flat roads and not too much headwind ) when at 55 - 65, anything over and drag becomes dominant, under that, well gaining fewer miles for each Wh spent. I see that its quite easy to just write some python code to get that info, but I dont have...

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    Wow that looks like 99% efficiency in the last leg. Way to go! Would these or some other apps let you export this data as a json, csv format etc?

    Picked up my Tesla in early December, worst car I've ever owned.

    What is the best app to collect this kind of data and play with it? From what I've read about temps and efficiency, Im probably operating in an optimum environment. I'd like to see how far off I am from optimal performance. Mainly because I may never know if my car is as bad as OP until I drive...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Appears to allow me to add to cart. I’m guessing it is.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep, just wheel covers/hubcaps. You never want to make the wheels(or anything that spins) any heavier than they need to be. Instead of designing the entire wheel alloy for aero gains, the alloy just provides structural strength while the lighter covers provide the necessary aerodynamics.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Brought her home today. Next step remove the aero wheel covers and install the caps. Incredibly no issues seen. Spent over a half hour inspecting. PS. I’m not driving in “Chill” mode for a few weeks. Love the power in Standard.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Good to see so many deliveries. You won't be remiss in forgetting its the same group of anxious people dreaming up insane theories on when they will get their VINs. Plan to add myself to this happy bunch tomorrow! 🏎️

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Its funny, the first time I tried ( couple of days ago ) the difference between TI and Geico quote was a no more than $40, today its about $200 in favor of TI. Go figure!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Has anyone who got Tesla Insurance and is Financing ( not Tesla ) been able to get Tesla to send the policy coverage documents to Financial Institution/LienHolder? I called Tesla Insurance and the agent added the Losspayee as requested, but said they have no way of faxing/mailing/emailing proof...

    I think what OP meant was the process won’t go any further than an approval ( which lets be honest is very simple and super fast ) until your MVPA is uploaded which in turn you will only get when there is a VIN.
