Yeah, we have two vehicles. The Tesla in my name and a Honda in my wife's name. Since we bought the Tesla, we do most of our driving in it. In the last year we have driven the Tesla almost 5x as many miles as the Honda. Kevin > On Dec 19, 2023, at 15:13, John Lussmyer via EV wrote: > >

The crux of the problem is that there were too many people buying EVs who didn't have any way to charge at home or work. Combine that with inadequate battery heating in RWD Model 3 and Y, so that if the battery cools down during a long queue, it can take a very long time after plugging in to

I had to reboot our 2019 M3 every few weeks for the first year or so that I owned it, then much less frequently as time went on and the software got more refined. I think I've had to reboot our 2022 Model S once in the 18 months that we have had it. Mind you, Teslas get software updates every
