Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

Whether justified or not, the thinking goes that a rural, say KY reg, would be more likely to be traveling on bad/bumpy roads compared to an average D reg that will do easier miles.

No idea if this leads to huge price diffs or not, or if there are price diffs, if other factors are at play too e.g. size of local used car market. 🤷

Anyone selling a Model 3 before I place an order?

Got 36.5.5 today.

Mines a 2020 model 3 performance. Used to show just over 500kms at 100%. Now it's 468 at the last check. 19k on the clock.

It is LR made in China 5 months and 11k km old

I don't dwell to much on the estimated range. I drive about 100 km a day and I know it is about 20%. 10% each way to/from work. In the beginning maybe but now % display is enough for me. Drove from Kilkenny home yesterday started 85% checked the energy app the estimated arrival 49%. I actually got with 52% in spite of the miserable weather. Did some run arounds in the evening got in the car this morning 45%. Went to work M50 quite slow got here 37%. I could get home easily and I have another drive this evening of about another 100km to Tayto park and back, which could get in but then I would be below 5% so I would charge before that.

I'd be the same - best tip I was given early on was to switch from projected range to % remaining.

I'd be a big fan of using the trip energy meter on longer runs as I find its deadly accurate and you can see how much driving style affects performance. If I start dipping below projected 5% at my destination, I simply ease the foot back of the pedal and you can claw back precious percentage points.

Have you tried resetting the main screen - i.e. Press and hold both scroll wheels on either side of the steering wheel for up to 10 seconds and the main screen will reboot. I find this often fixes glitches that develop sometimes - had to do it last week to sort a bluetooth issue.

Also do other people share your Spotify account? I thought I had issues with it when I first got the M3 as Spotify would randomly cut out - until the penny dropped and I realised that this happened when my kids started using it at home it would stop playing for me.

I always find it weird to have to reset it occasionally to get certain unexplained bugs fixed to be honest. Not the best intuitive way. Would have preferred something like an automatic reboot at the end of day, or at least a proper restart button.

My valet mode disappeared a while ago and I couldn’t figure out where to access it. I never had to use it before so I just thought I was not looking at the right place. It wasn’t after I came home and watched a few YouTube videos to realise that I was looking at the place and it simply disappeared. A reboot worked.

anybody have a referral codes?

Model 3 SR+ is now just called the Model 3

WLTP range is increased to 491km

0-100 time increased by half a second.

I think the SR+ has lost the SR and gained a 60kWh battery...

I wonder will the Q4 2021 delivery of SR Model 3 cars have this upgraded battery. Bit disappointed by the acceleration dropping truth be told, hopefully they bring this back down with an update

Seems not, just off the phone to tesla support. They've confirmed to me that anyone taking delivery in Q4 and ordered before today will gain the additional range and keep the previous 0-100 acceleration (as advertised when ordered) . Anyone taking delivery from Feb 2022 will have the extended range and the slower 0-100 time.

They are reducing the acceleration time by .5 seconds so they can sell it back to you via a software upgrade later, similar to what's available on the LR currently.
