On road trips the car used to hold a higher charge rate longer. Now it starts tapering sooner even when the pack is warm. Could this be charger-side variation, battery temperature, software, or an ac…
This newest recall looks like another case where a software/electronics fault affects a basic driving function. I like modern features, but it does make me wonder whether too many systems now depend…
Same money buys an older full-size truck with capability I may never use or a newer compact truck with better fuel economy and warranty. Anyone make this switch and regret the smaller truck? Apprecia…
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 52,500 miles. News says my model year is involved, but the VIN lookup shows no open recall. Is that usually because only certain build ranges are affected, or can…
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 23,000 miles. Battery passes a quick test and charging voltage looks normal, but after two or three days parked the car sometimes will not crank. What is the clea…
Dash range changes with temperature and driving, so I'm looking for a better way to judge battery health. What data do you trust—usable kWh, charging energy, service-mode values, repeated range tests…
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 78,000 miles. Most of my driving is short trips with a lot of idling, but the factory interval is pretty long. I'd rather not waste oil, but I also plan to keep t…
I saw a recall announcement that includes my model year, but my VIN currently shows no open recall. Is that usually because only a subset is affected, or can VIN databases lag behind an announcement?
A new recall announcement can hit the news before owners see anything in their VIN lookup. What is the best way to separate confirmed affected populations, pending VIN data and owner speculation? I a…
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 10,500 miles. Inspection found several real maintenance items but nothing catastrophic. I still like the car. Do you treat the shop estimate as a dollar-for-dolla…
On comparable road trips the charge rate now starts tapering sooner. I am trying to separate charger sharing, battery temperature, software changes and actual battery health.
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 46,500 miles. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would bu…
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 15,500 miles. The reservoir goes from full to low over several weeks. No puddle, oil looks normal, and I cannot find dried coolant around the hoses. Is a pressure…
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 61,500 miles. I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners.
2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 14,000 miles. A cylinder-specific misfire code appeared after one rough start, then cleared and the engine feels normal. Plugs are not very old. Would you swap co…
Wireless CarPlay is reliable almost everywhere but disconnects at the same intersection on my commute. Does consistent location point strongly to RF interference, and what would you test to confirm?
On road trips the car used to hold a higher charge rate longer. Now it starts tapering sooner even when the pack is warm. Could this be charger-side variation, battery temperature, software, or an ac…
No vibration cruising, but braking from highway speed makes the steering wheel shake. Pads still have material. Is rotor thickness variation the usual culprit or should suspension bushings be checked…
On road trips the car used to hold a higher charge rate longer. Now it starts tapering sooner even when the pack is warm. Could this be charger-side variation, battery temperature, software, or an ac…
This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. The light was on for two days and then disappeared before I could schedule service. Car feels normal. Is there still likely t…
