Tesla

The numbers are 50k sold in Denmark, with 20k being Model Y.

On top of that, there's an estimated 20k additional Teslas registered in Denmark that were originally registered in another country. Most of these are from Germany, due to a subsidy trick that was attractive for a couple of years.

This in total is almost 3 % of all cars currently registered in Denmark.

My model 3 long range is sitting in my garage. I charged it to 80% on Thursday night and unplugged it on Friday morning. It's just been sitting since that time unplugged but undriven. It's down to 51% on Tuesday morning. Down 30% in 4 days seems kind of bad. Sentry mode is on despite me having it set to not be on at home. Still seems like a lot of energy usage for a couple of low resolution cameras. Anyone else noticed this substantial energy usage when not in use?

Set to auto open and close via location, the command doesn’t always seem to go through. I’ve added a WiFi AP to the garage and enabled stay connected in drive on the Tesla. Not sure what else to try or what is causing the problem. Any ideas?

Talk about 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Just put it in the mirror…

I’m considering installing home charging (ok, I’m considering a Tesla so formulating my requirements for charging) so wanted to ask your experience for things that aren’t clear to me

the idea of multiple chargers appeals to me since there’s usually more than one car in my driveway. I like how the home charger has power sharing and I certainly don’t need concurrent max charging, but ……

— my panel is crowded. It’s unclear whether multiple chargers need to be on separate circuits or can share one? If can share, are there size requirements? One option is to put in a “big enough” circuit as the biggest expense but not worry about a second charger when I need it. But can they share a circuit? How big does it need to be? Or would I need a sub-panel in the garage? I don’t like all the extra connections for such a high draw circuit, but it would add flexibility

— anyone with experience having the charger outside? Would I regret it? I have a one car garage but have realistically never use it for a car. If I install the charger inside the garage, I’d generally snake the cable under the door

— for the universal charger, does it also have along cable or are there any placement limits? My driveway is one car wide by two long. If I park one in front of the other as usual, would I have any problems charging two cars at once? 24’ cable seems like it ought to be enough?

—-

Edit: I ended up installing only the one charger, and it’s outside. I verified I can park my ICE car up by the garage, and the cable is long enough to stretch the length of that to charge the Tesla in front.

Tesla’s list of certified installers was not helpful. Most wouldn’t even call back and the one that did said i was out of his area. However when I called my usual electrician, he was very familiar with installing Tesla chargers.

To move one circuit from my main to a sub panel, string a cable across my open basement ceiling and out a small hole in front of my chimney ended up costing $2,400. However I live in a high cost of living area and a new stove circuit had cost $2,600, so I guess it’s a fair price

We currently have a 2021 MY and that is our only car. Planning on getting another Tesla as we have a Tesla Wall Connector at home. I've been looking at both and checking threads and such, but wanted to know if anyone chose one over the other. I'm leaning towards a Model S as I've wanted one since the 2012 model came out, but I know hardware, charging, and mileage have changed a lot since. I telework mostly so mileage isn't really a problem, but I'm having my first kid in late Feb so I need something that is safe. I can push for a 2020 MS as well, but not sure if it's worth it for the extra money. Any advise or insight would be helpful!

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the aforementioned Hankook tires on their MYP (or in general for Hankook?).

Still have one more season or so left on my 2020 tires but want to be ready when the time comes.

Meet the updated Tesla Model 3!

It’s been 7 years since the Model 3 was first unveiled, and this is the biggest design overhaul yet! The question is, how much has changed? Well, Mat’s got hands-on with the car to take a closer look.

In terms of the design, there are a few notable changes. Up top, there are a pair of slimmer, sleeker headlights, and there’s also a big central vent as part of the bumper. This helps give it a more aggressive look compared to the previous model. The side profile remains pretty similar to before, apart from a set of new alloy wheel designs. Around the back, the Model 3 comes with updated taillights and a new bumper. The car is also available in a couple of new, exclusive paint colours!

On the inside, the look and feel are still pretty similar to before, but there are a couple of notable differences. While the large portrait infotainment screen remains, the dash around it has been updated, with new LED lights added to it. There a better quality materials to be found throughout the cabin compared to before, and the infotainment system has been updated and is much quicker and more responsive than before. The indicator buttons have now also been integrated into the steering wheel.

When it comes to performance, the Model 3 still comes with a single-motor RWD edition and a dual-motor long-range edition. However, aerodynamic improvements and overall performance updates mean the car can now travel further, with the single-motor RWD having a range of 346 miles, while the dual-motor can travel for up to 423 miles!

The new Model 3 won’t be released in the UK until next year, but thankfully, the price is set to stay pretty similar to before - so you can expect entry-level models to cost around £42,000. But will it be worth the wait? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

I barely made it to my office yesterday. Had the "keep it under 50" and "keep it under 40" warnings blaring and was counting 100s of feet. #oops
