    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    @jjrandorin Assume this is a SC-only item (meaning not something mobile service can come to you and do)? If they're moving around the date but they're coming to you, I would be more forgiving / less annoyed about it, but if you have to schedule your day/week around a SC trip I agree this is sort...

    Power Trunk Retrofit on Model 3s now Available Direct from Tesla [09.14.2023 - 2018 model 3 not eligible]

    Just realized today this retrofit option had come to the US... very eager to get it for my 2018 (long range dual motor non-performance) particularly as I Uber in it and folks are constantly confused by the difference between my trunk and those they've experienced on M3s from Hertz (either that...

    Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3

    Sounds like there are probably more negatives than positives for you about ridesharing in general @LBMagneto Overall "I don't really like a lot of people" is going to make rideshare a tough proposition as it's very heavy on the dealing-with-people and often requires a lot of patience. Maybe...

    Charging in Rindge NH vicinity

    Thanks @Les236 ! Looking into both of these - not sure I necessarily want to camp at a Ford dealer, but Ashburnham Town Hall looks to have a good selection of restaurants around. Would you say it's fair/accurate to say there's not any feasible overnight/hotel charging on this route?

    Charging in Rindge NH vicinity

    Howdy all, I'm based in the Princeton NJ area, and my son is attending a boarding school in Rindge NH, which is generating a decent amount of road-tripping between those two locations for pickups/dropoffs/visits. I drive a 2018 M3 AWD LR which gets something like ~280 miles rated range, and...

    Store/Service/Delivery Center - Central Jersey - Lawrenceville NJ

    Revisiting this thread after a quiet couple of years here, prompted by a pleasant SC experience there last week (and another great one last summer). This is a VERY busy delivery and service location - I would so far as to they have objectively outgrown the real estate footprint (and they are...

    Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3

    Yeah, I have no visibility into DE rider volume, but in general college towns are a good opportunity if you're willing to do late nights.

    Feasibility of Tesla for Job with a lot of miles

    Some discussion here you may find interesting: Daily / Frequent Supercharging Seems there is reason to believe daily SuperCharging will harm the battery, but if driving as much as it seems @Oh_Henry and @Guppy drive, arguably worthwhile given other overall value?

    Eatontown Service Center

    I live just a few miles from the Princeton / Lawrenceville location so I will presumably never go to Eatontown BUT I'm thrilled that there's a center opening up to relieve some pressure from the frequently very-busy Princeton SC. And combining SC with SuC is a great move (are we sure that's what...

    Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3

    @CLK350 At least in in New Jersey, there are very minimal costs or barriers to entry. Just a driver's license, the ability to pass a background check, and the willingness to interact with the public. Some drivers get "gap insurance" from their carrier, which covers the "gap" between the...

    Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3

    @Waterleo Congrats on your first post - did you join TMC just to comment on this thread? If so I'm honored, but regardless, welcome! 7700's a lot - are you full-time rideshare or is it a secondary income thing? How much range do you get out of a Bolt, and do you ever charge mid-shift? Or asked...

    Driver Experience Essay - Uber and Lyft with a Tesla Model 3

    A few updates for those interested - I've gotten back into rideshare driving again since the post at the origination of the thread. I got my first vaccination in mid-March, opened the Uber Driver app out of curiosity to see what demand looked like - and was met with a promotion offering $100...

    Tesla.com - "Transitioning to Tesla Vision"

    You know that feature where as you approach a wall while parking (like in a garage or at the side of a building or a Supercharger) and you get the on-screen measurement showing the distance between the car and the wall/object... Does that rely on the radar or is there another sensor used for...
