...probably a faulty module. I did use the window switch and the door opens. Also noticed after locking my car and walking away, the door will pop open by itself 5 minutes later. Getting it towed to the service center now...

And, no matter how badly TSLA screwed up, they can often match and raise with their additional comments...

leafkabob said:Driving my model 3 reminds me of my first days in my Leaf. Back then I looked at other ICE drivers and thought "If you guys could just drive this car, you would want one." I feel exactly the same about the 3 now, except I would now revise that to "when I look at other EV and ICE drivers." (Tesla S and X drivers excluded, of course).
Assuming it works like the S and X, if you enter your destination into nav, the car will tell you when you have enough charge to make the next stop and will estimate how long it will take to charge at each stop and how much charge you will have left. It is pretty accurate unless you know you are facing adverse weather or drive well above the speed limit. Before you head out, try entering your destination for the first day and see how the nav system routes you.leafkabob said:Thanks for the tip. That is what I found out when I took my first trip from Phoenix to Vegas.
I'm planning on following (at least initially) the Tesla trip planner found on their web page. https://www.tesla.com/trips
But I reckon by the end of the trip I will have nailed it as far as knowing the optimal times to charge.

I used both terms correctly. You blame me because TSLA refuse to report either figure, total production or USA sales, consistently and accurately?lpickup said:edatoakrun said:Estimated 6,250 M3 sales in USA in May:

Quite a bit short of most recent 5k/week- 6k/week production by June-July claims from TSLA.
Anyone heard when/if model 3 production restarted after the last production shutdown?

Thanks dgp. I was forgetting about the in-car nav. I'm really looking forward to the trip.

Not true. I picked up a 2013 Tesla model S 85 kwh for $43K. It more than compares to the model 3.leafkabob said:The other thing is that there is no other ev out there, at the $50K price of the model 3, that compares to it. There is absolutely no range anxiety with the 3. This car is a game changer. It is only a matter of time.

It is very accurate, I would not use anything but that. Other than high head winds or extreme temps it is usually within 1% SOC accuracy. I never have used miles on my car, SOC is a very good way to go so my car is set to capacity not miles. You may also look into Tesla Winds, I believe that is the name. It gives you real time adjusted speed for winds on your touch screen as well as elevation. Nice addition for really long distances in high wind areas.
