    My opinion on lighting is that it allows you to see more hazards than without light. So it's not just safety for crime and being able to see who is around, but safety moving around as well in case there are obstacles in the parking lot. If humans could see at night better, it would be a wash, of course.

    Your low range has nothing to do with battery degradation. 1st your studded tires are killing it due to rolling resistance. 2nd cold weather reduced battery capacity. 3rd heating can use 1kwh every 10-15 minutes when it's very cold outside.

    at end of video, when they compare 600mi vs 831mi, when you first enter a destination it quickly gives distance as crow flies, then changes to distance via roads. So might have been 600mi via crow, and 831 via roads.

    Some do it yourselfers use a homemade deicing solution made of one part isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and two parts water.
    The isopropyl alcohol sold in stores ranges from 50 to 90 percent purity.
    Higher purity provides a lower freezing point and better deicing capability.
    If the supercharger stations are mixed with V2 and V3 then it should be marked with an metal plate stating a version number : 150 or 250.
    If it’s stated as a 250 station, but it’s a mix station then new customers would definitely be frustrated with the lack of information about the station.
    Tesla battery information is key for owners to understand how to make the most efficient way for their long distance trips etc.

  • @ouch1011
    @ouch1011 Рік тому +2

    Very curious to hear about the MPP comfort suspension. Biggest complaint about my Model 3 is the overly harsh suspension, even just on the long range model. Biggest reason I didn’t buy the performance model was that the suspension was even worse.
    We had a 2019 (I think) Model 3 mid range while our 2022 M3LR was in the shop getting some electrical issues fixed this winter. I was expecting the RWD car to be more efficient than our AWD one, but it was actually substantially less efficient, especially as it got below freezing. My partner commutes about 40mi one way every night to do overnight shifts at work, and during freezing temps, he usually sees about 300-320wh/mi. In the 2019 M3MR, he was getting 380-400wh/mi driving the same route at around 25F. Was blown away how inefficient it was. The only 2 things I could think of on the M3MR that may negatively impact its efficiency vs our 2022 M3LR was that it had the 19” sport wheels and a PTC heater. I’m guessing the PTC heater was the biggest thing negatively impacting the efficiency, but I was blown away how much of an effect it had.
    I’m not sure if you’ve shown it, but I’d like to see an update range test on your M3P and show how much power it shows you’ve consumed. Either that or use one of the services available (like Tessie) to show how much battery capacity you have left.

    I know both the Salt Lake to Vegas, and the Green River to 8-15 parts of the route pretty well (I'm in SLC). Although, I"ve never done that in a Tesla (Had CCS cars before). Need to make a trip to Vegas on my new Model Y LR
    So, essentially you got a "performance all-wheel-drive" standard range model 3? :) Though, the RWD Model 3 is pretty darn efficient, may get more range than this car?
    Mesquite is a favorite place to stop on the Way to California (let the car top off and eat at one of the Buffets)
