    They have that cabin preconditioning thing right? Through an app? That sounds excellent.

    You mean heat? My GMC has cabin preconditioning too then.

    The cars work fine. I don't have a heated garage at the moment, so my consumption is up quite a bit. I never have fear that my battery doesn't have enough CCA to turnover a cold block.

    I've increase my charge limit to 70% to give me more headroom for the heater working overtime.

    This was my usage before the cold snap. I'll take another set once it gets warmer.

    Yes heat. Several vehicles have it. It's a good feature.

    Range has taken a pretty serious hit, but sill easily enough to commute with room for extra emergencies. Mine is one with a heat pump and it's not the warmest system in the world. It's also pretty loud when it's working, which surprised me. In these super cold temps the cabin seems to lose a lot of heat out of the glass roof. The rear tires are sliding lots with the slippery roads even with studded winters. It's very easy to lean on the traction control from almost every stop, but mine is the RWD version.

    The heat pump is only good to -10 or something. It uses the resistive backup heater when it is colder.

    Range & efficiency has suffered, maybe 30%? But I'm never cold soaked.
    Cabin heater can't push out the 27°C I'm asking for, heater can't keep up against the outside air.

    I drive with chill mode + slip start these days, gets traction a lot better than standard acceleration.

    Overall still great car, but annoyed I can't safely use AP anywhere.

    That's only on Model S and Model X. I think the China Model Y gets it, but Model 3 does not world wide.

    Pilot Sport EV announced. Harder compound in the center to even out tire wear from high pressure and torque.

    I just helped convince my friend to buy one of these:

    Have I accidentally made him a pariah?
    Updating with pics finally.
    Sorry the pictures are shitty, but if you have questions about the overall process, I recall a fair bit of the story.

    Apparently, they used to arrive painted, but because they come in a box with zero packaging, they often needed repainting. So, instead of packing properly, they quit painting them and kept the useful practice of "put loosely in giant box".
    Then, they're too dumb to give you a straight answer on what chemistry the plastic is so you can choose correct chemicals/binders/primers/paint. The owner guessed wrong and plans to repaint it.

    Why would they repaint it?

    Trashy fit and finish makes it look OEM.

    There is an authentic, trashy fit to it but that's fine. And I don't think there are aftermarket bumpers under $10k that truly fit up as well as OEM (on normal cars).
    But the painting thing is bullshit.

    Overall we think it's a massive improvement and well worth the money even though there are issues. I really think the stock front bumper on the Model 3 and Model e Performance are not suitable.

    Does Elton John drive a tesla?

    Edit:I just googled it and realized he has a strange collection of largely chauffeur vehicles. And probably a Tesla.

    So needlessly mean! It's not a vehicle I care for or would consider, but it's not like it's a Le Car or a Pontiac Aztec or Juke. LoL!!
