finally, its hereeeeeeeeeee
Still getting used to regen braking tho. My initial drive makes me think the regen braking requires you to constantly press the pedal more, leading to leg exhaustion. Other than that, its a dream to drive! Getting used to auto-locking. Super paranoid about other people's cars and parking (especially door dings).

Man what's up with the winter battery drain. My 27 mile commute to work ate about 39-40 miles of battery range? I did have heater on from time to time (but no more than 10 minutes max).
Also, is there place where I can download my driving history and do some analysis on battery drain?

I'm sure there is. There's an api you can use, I know some people who control their Tesla with powershell.
I'm guessing you've already looked at the energy app in-car?
If you're only running the heat for 10 minutes, you're probably wasting a ton of energy for the system to heat up, but then to not run that long.
Using the seat heaters would be a more efficient option, especially when the update that lets you turn them on from the mobile app comes online.
You can try TeslaFi, I don't use it but I think it will do what you want. I think it costs $50/year.

Got an update from Tesla yesterday. Pole Position is now available to play! USB controllers can be plugged in now. I can see superchargers on my mobile app now! Climate control can run in your car until it reaches 20% battery.
Most importantly, an emissions test mode was introduced. It now adds the capability for the vehicle to fart. Elon why?

someone on twitter just told me i needed to get a tesla, they didnt know i already am getting one. He told me there is a powershell module for tesla. But its just a restAPI so if you know python, powershell or some other language you can easily create your own stuff if you want to.
certainly did driving it home. its so fun to drive.
yup wanted to get that tax credit.
currently charging at 26amps instead of 32, it seems to trip my circuit at 32 and 28 for some reason.
they're about 20 inches outside edge to outside edge at their widest.
love this car. driven it 3 times today. also programmed our garage door, it auto opening as we approach is the beezneez.
man, is this thread dead or what?
i rode in my moms bmw 3 series today, it made me appreciate the model 3's front windhield. Something i never thought i would care about. also the model 3 seats were more comfortable, straight up. and her car doesnt even have the ventiliated seats, which i've found has to take away a lot of cushion to function properly.

2+ months later - my car is ready for pickup after the rear ender! One of the tail lights is still back ordered so that'll have to be fixed later, but I'm super excited to give this Corolla back and grab my car tomorrow!
I was dreading it would still take a couple more months, it still may for the tail light.

Thanks, it's nice to have the car back. Unfortunately There are some extra scuffs on the car unrelated to the accident. Bodyshop has agreed to polish them out.
Below is a stream recorded with Sandy Munro (of Munro and Associates) who did the tear down of the Model 3 that got a lot of attention. For those who don't know, the initial report was fairly negative towards the car, but he later changed tune to a large extent a later when delving deeper into it. There's also a guy from Forbes and the two regular hosts.
It's a long stream but the majority of it is on Tesla and has some interesting insights.

At the end of the day, thanks for sharing this
I had a spare hour and a half to watch this. The part about the motor magnet was fascinating. Also the motor being lighter, cheaper and out performing every other motor was definitely interesting.
Same with the super bottle. What he described about the fiefdoms at the car companies makes so much sense. Every large company I've entered is hampered by the same shit like that. Stuff I could do in five minutes takes days for approval for some other department to do because, reasons.
At the end of the day, they were all pretty gushy over the model 3. And I thought it was pretty cool two of Munroe guys went out and bought one after tearing it down. I do question why they put out that negative video if they weren't even done with their assessment yet. That was the video everyone either loved or hated depending on your love or hate of Tesla.
On the steel under the battery I wonder if that's there to prevent something from ripping the underside of the battery and causing a fire. I thought someone might mention that, but no one did.
At the end of the day, good watch. Would recommend if you have the spare time

PS the guy on the right, David Welch I think? Did he used to be on the car and driver show? I recognize is voice and can't place where I know him from. My dad used to watch Car and driver religiously when I was in high school.
PPS Sandy needs to stop saying at the end of the day.
Had my Model 3 delivered Dec 29th. Absolutely love it. Never say never, but i don't see how i could ever go back to a gas powered car ever again.
I plan to go to New Mexico in it in a few months, driving from Denton Tx (just north of Dallas). Any tips for long road trips? Already have Plug and Share app ready and Tesla has me covered with Super Chargers, but i'm still a tad worried about getting ICE'd and stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Autopilot 3.0 to be included from day one in European Model 3 as well as a second radar?
Crossing my fingers as I'm part of the first batch of European deliveries (receiving mine at the earliest on February 17th as they contacted me but more likely March).

Planning on painting my calipers red on my long-range model 3. Here's a pretty good guide for how to do it yourself: https://model3ownersclub.com/threads/painting-the-brake-calipers-is-not-that-difficult.9372/
Expecting my car next month. Will apply a chrome-delete job so the end result will probably be identical to this:
edit: Actually, I think I will go caliper covers. More expensive then painting obviously but super quick installation and doesn't put into-question warranty issues (as I can just remove them before service unlike paint) : https://evannex.com/products/caliper-covers-for-tesla-model-3#tab-0

It's not coming out anytime soon is it?

Can't say I'm surprised. They seem really reticent to remove the "premium" package. Whether that's because it would slow production to have it as an option, needing to set up another production line, or because it's a good earner/good margins. I imagine it's probably a bit of both.
SEC should hold him in contempt. Did he get the entire boards approval?
It's not possible to order a Tesla at the moment (X, S or 3). It only states "The wait is almost over"...
News should be in an hour and fifteen minutes from now. AutoPilot 3.0 hardware or SuperCharger 3.0 news perhaps? The few Model 3's delivered in Europe has yet to have any autopilot function activated...
Also the page sais: "Great things are launching at 2pm"

I don't think this is true, I saw someone post that autopilot is activated on Model 3 in Norway, at least.
I read hands-on review done by a Norwegian article in the last week and the autopilot was turned off completely in their case, awaiting a software update.
Maybe it's out now, not sure.
Was going by this post: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/3430279/
I think it's unlikely that European Model 3s have the new hardware to be honest.
Yeah, there's a new partial premium interior, too.
Interesting that they decided to give all trim levels the glass roof, maybe the metal roof they mentioned earlier wasn't actually going to save them much money.
There's actually a new battery configuration (Standard = 220mi, Standard Range+ = 240mi, Mid Range = 264mi, Long Range = 310mi)
Says delivery timing is 2 weeks for standard range...website seems pretty busy now (got a bunch of errors before it loaded)
Interesting, Model S and X order pages still go to the placeholder "soon" page...(Edit: and they're back, not sure if anything changed there)

there's also autopilot and Full self Driving capability.
autpilot is 3k and FSD is 5k 7k if purchased after delivery.
Me too, although I'm moving in the next 2 months.
I knew this would happen at the worst time.
So, $43,000 baseline for full self driving (whenever / if ever it launches). That's getting very close to something I can afford. I expect to be in the market for a car come 2021.
Where you getting 43?
35+5 for thr full self driving would be 40 before taxes and other bullshit.
Did you notice that there is no longer an "Enhanced Autopilot" option, only an "Autopilot" option?
Basically the "Enhanced" stuff like Navigate on Autopilot, Summon, and Autopark are now part of the "Full self driving" option...
I'm guessing they did this because you literally got no new functionality that worked right now if you ordered "Full self driving" in the past.
