Tesla Model 3 - V4.0

It might make a difference in countries where there are new roads being built very quickly. Ireland, especially in established urban areas, not so much.

What do you mean by poor routing? Have you got examples? Not discounting what you are saying as I have no idea of the algorithm behind the software.

ts just that in my experience of nearly 5 years of driving a Tesla all around the country for work in both urban and rural settings, I have found very little difference between the Tesla mapping (always had premium connectivity) and Waze which I run side by side. Nealy always they have identical routes.

The main difference to me is Waze can be much more aggressive in its re-routing suggestions mid-journey to save a few minutes (which depends on your own custom settings). Its lead me in the past to going down some crazy boreens if you dont have local knowledge.

no. It doesn’t change based on recent driving behaviour..

the only true range estimate in the car is in the trip screen.

^^ just so you know that slight drop from 459 to 455 is not a measure of degradation.

The car gives out that number based on a number of criteria, mostly related to EPA and what it 'thinks' is in the battery, but it's not in any way a method of measuring degradation..

Yeah, it may not be a 100% accurate way of measuring the degradation but it is an interesting way of looking at it.

There have been people on YouTube who have taken this approach and while it might not be foolproof, it can give a decent indication of the health of the battery.

I believe there is an official test some owners can do within the Tesla UI itself.

If you know how to 'unlock' the day one range, please let me know!

anyone else have slight rattle/buzz from the passenger side? I’ve only noticed it recently when on the motorway and in the car alone so hard to track it exactly. I’ll get one of the kids to listen from the backseat over the weekend and see if I can locate it. Just turn up the radio for now.

Love the updated charging graphics with latest software.

Folks, I’m looking at changing from a diesel car that has reached end of life. I do a trip from Sligo to Dublin port twice a week...not consecutive days.

It’s a 240km trip each way with the only motorway section between Mullingar and Dublin.

Can any of the Model 3 range do this without charging? Ideally a second hand one!

Long range ones should be able to do this on most days, even previous generation. Some days you would need to stop for a charge or just drive below speed limit.

If you buy a new one, going for long range is extra 7574 euro or more however as they age this gap shrinks.

A better route planner it's called.
