Correct. It’s literally not worth the anxiety it produces. You have to be even more alert than if you’re driving by yourself. You never know when FSD wants to change lanes and your point is exactly the reason. Again, it’s the reason I don’t recommend it. Is there a hack? Yes. Would I do...

There is. I don’t recommend it In urban/suburban areas or other places with lots of cars. If you connect your trailer, it defaults to tow mode. Turn off tow mode. The trailer brakes still work. FSD works as well. Now, if you hit a bump and the truck realizes how heavy your load is in the...

Sounds like all of this is a truck hardware issue. Odd that this is happening to everyone and hopefully there is a software update to fix and that it wasn’t a lot of things bugging out at the same time.

Any chance this is a software update issue?

Did supercharging work at a higher rate? I haven’t tested it out at a DC charger yet.

My house has a gen 1 wall charger. It has always charged at 40A, but now, when I plug the truck in to charge, I’m limited to 24A. It will not let me increase beyond that. Has this happened to anyone else and do you have any recommended troubleshooting steps? Also, I checked my Model 3 and it’s...

What was your setup to get it up off the bottom of the bed? I have gear and a spare. But I would love this setup!

Took the Airstream out with the truck for Mother’s Day weekend. And yes, that’s sushi. Gas station sushi. I know, there’s a lot to unpack there!

This is fair. I didn’t mean for my earlier post to suggest lack of empathy for anyone not familiar with Tesla. I do think you raise a fair point about perception may be totally different for someone new to Tesla. I stand by the argument that nothing is new here; it’s happened with every...

Yes. Not a fan of the backlash from others regarding the politics or the look of the vehicle. I realize I might be on a bit of an island here loving the vehicle but not the biggest fan of the appearance. But I lean into that around others and happily throw myself out as a punching bag. On...

I’m down 10-11% on my 2018 Model 3. Must be a battery chemistry issue on the older vehicles.

I’ve had a Model 3 since 2018. The range loss really plateaus. If 7 years is long enough, my conclusion stands.

Remind me, what state do you live in?

Correct and I don’t disagree. For an occasional (2-3 times a year) thing it’s truly not a big deal. That’s why I think the temper tantrums are a bit comical.

First, I learned a 50 cal will penetrate the stainless steel. Now I learn there will not be a range extender. Next will be the fart button being taken away. Clearly this was a terrible, terrible purchase.

Driving into the mountains with a trailer, across the state of Texas, and towing a trailer around to a bunch of campouts does not make this a “cruise around town” truck. Sorry, that’s just not right. But okay. The most I ever charged was 70 minutes. That was so I could hit 200+ miles from...

Sorry. I disagree. Truck is fine as is. Sure, would be nice to have a bigger battery pack. Sure, it would be nice to have a faster curve. There will ultimately be a faster curve. But… I’ve driven to CO (with and without a trailer), have driven from Dallas down to the tip of Texas. Have...

It starts gradually changing immediately. I’d say a couple/few months and you’ll notice the difference if you put pictures side by side.

Of all o the stalls I’ve charged at while towing, I bet I’ve only had to disconnect 25-30% of the time. Granted, this could be because I live in Texas where chargers aren’t as filled as the coasts. But still, the vast majority of the time I don’t need to disconnect. In time, that will be...

Also, consider trickle charge off a 110 to maintain your charge level if you use sentry.
