Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I couldn´t say really as I am just a regular lurker on this thread, planning to swap to a M3 later this year. It depends on what happens in Q3 or Q4 with the refresh and on whether their engineers give up on Tesla Vision replacing it. I get the impression that stripping USS and radar was just an opportunistic move to keep up production drives during shortages while trialling new AI on cameras as a two birds, one stone thing. Their cars improve in many ways but also lose things along the way, like the front fog lights taken from SR+ in 2020 along with lumbar support, and now the range of sensors, but perhaps some sort of augmented TV will be the way forward eventually. Many buyers might not care in any case, just like the way the private market priced prerefresh cars (2019-2020) compared to the larger battery 2021 onwards cars.

just rears on the rwd 3 sept 22 car

Same on my 212 SR+, no fog lights.

(To complicate a bit, I didn't have them on 191 E220d AMG Premium Line, and there was no option to get them. Many "luxury" brands started to remove them when they introduced all those LED multibeam and laser lights. My Merc was better in any foggy situation than 171 X-Trail SVE that had xenon and separate fog lights. :) )

My lifetime average for my March 2022 RWD appears to be embarrassingly low, so I wont quote it 😁. But a lot of my driving is governed by 80 and 100 km/h limits.

Ok, seeing I have had a few Jemmies and said I wouldn't tell😁. The shame of it, i'm certainly not slow and like some heat.. But I rarely use adaptive cruise and try and drive smoothly and anticipate speeding/slowing up. The Trip A in photo would be more usual for my winter driving (Includes a recent Belfast Trip with a good bit of motorway speeds), but cannot believe the overall efficiency.

Ireland is doing very well indeed on the Supercharger front… Could be much better, but we are in rude health compared to Lithuania… I’m in the Tesla Owners Lithuania FB group as I drove there last summer and we now have a house there (so will drive there again in the future no doubt), so I see the struggles they have with their single Supercharger site in Kaunas, with regular queues at it.. and there are a sh1t ton of Tesla’s there. I’d easily say they’ve way more than there are in Ireland.. They import them from all over Europe, and even bring in loads from America (and have to use all various manner of adaptors to be able to charge the American cars in the wild).

That’s why I voted for a site in Klaipeda, which would do huge business. Any Superchargers in LT would do huge business though as about 80% of the EV’s I see are Tesla’s!!
