Is it just me or does the model 3 ac just really suck. My model s 2015 ac works astronomically better than my 2023 model 3 ac, and the model 3 now turns off the passenger side when nobody sits there by default so the heat coming from that side is really bad. The cabin of the car never gets...

Oh. I can't see your signature. 1 year newer meaning it's got better stuff in it. I wish I knew what to change out to get better charging in my car. I've thought about it and reached out to wk057 but he never got back to me after asking multiple times and now he's gone, guess I need to find out...

What year is the car? To my understanding my 2015 85d max charging rate is 130kw, calculating for 350v is 114kw max

Definitely less throttled than the old battery but definitely not 15-20 minutes. This pack supports way higher charging speeds than the rest of the outdated components in the car do. The best charge rate I've seen so far has always been at v2 charging sites, and I've seen 122kw at 38%... my...

Every service center gives different answers. Ymmv My closest service center still tells me I can only replace the battery pack with the same one as the old one, and the bigger ones use more space/don't fit/whatever I'm sick of them. 17,500 plus tax, it charges to 284 miles today, about a year...

It's now a 90 I'm not sure I mentioned this, but the guy at the service center asked me why I didn't get the 100 battery pack, and that they just started offering it. Had I of known...

My 1014116-00-c battery was supposed to display 305 miles brand new in a 2015 model s 85D 345 ideal at 90% calculating to 100% would be 383 First time I charged to 100% I got 304, it was a few weeks after getting the battery

I believe there is room for charging improvement on the LG ncma battery. I could be wrong. Many have said I am wrong, however there's already been a charging speed improvement with a software update for the LG battery.... and Bjorn posted a video with graphs. My reason for thinking there's...

It definitely shows they lost confidence in their product

And if you look at the graph I posted above both cars reach 250kw, one only does it for a split second so that doesn't mean much One of the loaner cars I got from tesla was a 2021 Ludacris and it did the red line on that graph, so it wasn't even new enough. The next one I got was a 2022 and it...

I remember reading somewhere that the 402 mile long range doesn't support the faster charging, and the 405 mile range does, about timeline when the switch happened I don't remember

heres the graph i remember. the long range didnt get the same independent cooling system for the battery like the plaid did at first. https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/tesla-model-s-plaid-charging-1638896449.png

Not relates but the busbars in the model 3 support 300kw supercharging, so I can only assume and hope newer vehicles do also. Won't know till tesla raises the 250kw limit

Needs to be done quickly, most people don't have the patience in parking lots, u turns etc Gonna get honked at I dont even think a j turn isn't easily done anymore

I dont remember where I heard that from either, I just remember it. It's a lot easier to replace an electrical motor than it is to replace an entire gas engine, and cheaper. There's in theory less to go wrong with the car, though my model s has proved otherwise.

Elon first sold me on the idea that teslas are supposed to be a forever car, but the newer ones they have made like the 4680 model y goes to show they want a forever replacement car where it becomes impossible to repair anything. 057 technologies said they tried to look at a 4680 battery model...

it varies by region, my power is cheaper in livermore vs what my buddies plan in antioch is. His rates are 46 cents off peak and 47 cents peak last time I checked. We have found out there's a maximum amount of money you can get charged with his plan, and I think it was $4500 or something and the...

pge did what they could to screw us on that too. my previous rates were off peak from 11pm to 7am, partial peak from 7-2 / 9-11 and peak from 2-9 they changed it to off peak midnight to 3pm partial peak from 3-4 / 9-midnight and peak from 4-9 so now when im not home not using electricity and...

Tesla isn't responsible for the price increases. Pge has done 2 rate hikes this year already, and what sucks to think about is we are on winter rates still. When things go over to summer rates it will get more expensive, making an electric car not as cost savings as the company would like you to...

I'm pretty worried about this too and makes me question purchasing more tesla products, and makes me further question the products I've already bought. But I was told to not worry about it, the team has been shifted to another department. Different focuses such as reliability and expanding...

So this is from a tesla employee, they are focusing on expanding current sites where congestion exists and less on new locations 😔 Things will ramp back up. Maybe elon is upset that he's made the promise to never need to wait at a charger and that isn't happening, so firing the entire team...

this is what makes me worry about my fusc, maybe newer upcoming superchargers i wont have free supercharging anymore because they wont be tesla owned. luckily theres a pretty extensive network to get me almost anywhere, but it wont get me everywhere.

i dunno, its just a guess. if its me id never want to work for tesla, and im kinda not really happy on the amount of money ive spent on their products because of stuff like this, yet i still keep buying their *sugar*. ugh.

I think it's been open to other contractors to build out the supercharging network, so maybe it's cheaper to outsource the work, just my guess. Maybe they will hire more local companies to do work in areas where the new chargers are going.

I took it apart and aside from the wire that does the window defrost and the piece I'm tapping on, the rest of the insides seem pretty solid, im adding a piece of felt on the plastic piece on the back, and maybe some double sided tape on the defrost wire and maybe it'll help. Can't upload the...

I hope gas stations don't shut down, I just hope they all convert over to fast charging stations. I'd love to see more supercharging stations with convenience stores and bathrooms, so we have something to do while we wait when charging

Fair enough, and I'll also point out like with the baker station and electrify america had to build solar and battery backup in order to put their fast dc chargers there. I don't know who was there first, tesla or ea, but that's the companies way around the limits of the power company.

Definitely not making this up, go be a troll somewhere else. I've spoken to property owners who told me this.

Not sure if someone mentioned this but tesla is strategically maxing out the power company so it's extremely not cost efficient for a competitor to put chargers in nearby

I purchased a 2023 model 3 and it has the LG m50f1a in it and it still qualified for the 7500 tax incentive, why did it go away this year?

That would make the model 3 performance cheaper than the model 3 long range lol.

Does this include discharge as well as charging? With the recently announced model 3 highland performance with supposedly using the same battery as the long range model 3, it has a better 0-60 than the ones with nca battery, only 0.2 seconds but if ncma performance sucks maybe the new car will...

Good point. Would be nice if they made an open wifi for us to pay with the stupid app. Maybe let us have access through the app? My phone now automatically connects to my energy gateway through the tesla app even though I told it to forget the password. I'm hoping that with 2025 and older cars...

this is pretty awesome, the other great thing is although rare some of these supercharging locations have spotty att coverage. would be nice to be able to connect our phones too

not sure how long the evgo charger has been open, but i saw cars at it the other day.

I'm so lost with finding rattles in my car, ill try almost anything now. How'd you remove the piece? I also found a rattle in this piece by the feet on the front door, you get to it by removing a smaller piece above it by the dashboard, and I forgot how I did it after that, i think i removed...

It really doesn't matter what you do, if the reporter did research they could add to their statement but they didn't, they left it very general. What I do doesn't matter either but I also charge to 100% and the longer I'm driving for the closer to 0% I get each charger because I don't have...

the reporter is not incorrect. the reporter said it takes an hour to get a full charge. when have you experienced a 0-100% in less than an hour? my model s takes about an hour and 10 minutes maybe the lfp batteries and the cars who have their charging restricted from actual pack 100% take less...

yes only united states version 2024.3.6 i updated the car in the evening and in the morning had an email for the free fsd for a month. tesla is trying to promote selling fsd because last quarterly earnings they had a net 0 adds for fsd

This free trial justifies me not spending money on fsd, I can't let it go for longer than a minute without it pissing me off. It does not know how to do stop signs or right on red. And lastly it just doesn't drive the way I want to drive. The autopilot that came with the car is good enough for...

Companies making transformers are really far behind, or so I've been told and that's the holdup for most of the superchargers. Power companies.

Here's a video I made with the c variant. It never really reaches 120kw unless the battery is hot and plug in around 40% I've seen it hold 100kw up to 56%, and feel like charging speeds aren't very consistent, however it's astronomically better than the old throttled battery, and better than the...

Thank you for smoking

this is one of the things i feel like ill never get used to in my model 3 and one of the things i really hate about newer cars. i much prefer the model s where it clicks on and clicks off, and holds its position.

this is a great solution, im pretty sure id be 1000x happier with this. have you tried it and does it block the ability to use the touch screen? on another note since it looks the same as the other buttons, i thought the cruise control/self driving button wasnt working because the other 3 were...

i have a 2015 model s but why does that matter? if the model 3 highland is different then i havent tried it. i had a model s loaner oh i read my first post again, i guess i forgot to clairify the loaner was a model s

it wasnt enough for me/couldnt feel it, i kept pressing too far into the steering wheel. and the fact that its a touch screen and not a button made it worse, you couldnt feel yourself pressing it, you just listen for the signal or look at the screen to see it turning on. this ferrari looks like...

i think i would be more ok with the way these turning signals are, compared to how tesla handled it. i drove around for many hours, approximately 500 miles in a day when i had a loaner car, and once it got dark, i stopped signaling.

On my old model s 85d battery I've setup a bed in the back of the car, fell asleep at a supercharger and it took 3 ½ hours to get to 100%

You mean there's sooooo much more wrong with the car than the backside of the steering wheel?
