r/TeslaModel3

I won’t be able to charge at home, and i know this makes it not worth it for a lot of people but i’ve wanted this car for years and I am finally in a position where i can comfortably and reasonably afford the car, but i am not willing to move for it. My house is about 8 minutes from a super charger and my job is in the same parking lot as one as well, i drive around 30-40 miles a day is this reasonable

So I live in the south. HOT as hell in the summer. About to get car tinted. Having a hard time deciding on what to do on the rear glass. I use the sun shades, and my thought is to just tint up to the upper defrost line. Or maybe dont tint it at all. Dumb idea or what. What is everyone else doing for the rear glass. I keep coming across post of rear glass cracking and some shops saying dont put anything any darker than 50.

Coming from 14 years of ICE cars, I thought I understood range anxiety. I did not.

The numbers:

• 2021 Model 3 Long Range AWD, 41,000 km on the clock (my first ever EV)
• Consumption: 154.2 Wh/km (15.42 kWh/100km)
• Realistic range from 80% to 20% charge: getting about 280 km
• Driving style: smooth acceleration and braking, one-pedal drive for max regen, properly maintained pressure per Tesla's recommendations
• Car's own battery app: "Battery is healthy" 🙄

For comparison, my old 2015 Honda Grace (hybrid) did 19 km/L and I'd casually get 640 km on a full tank without thinking about it too much. Now I find myself doing mental math before every trip like I'm planning a moon landing.

Here's what's bugging me: my Wh/km actually looks fine on paper and it's pretty close with what Tesla/EPA quoted for this car when new. But when I only get 280 km out of a 60% window (80 to 20%), that math implies my usable battery capacity has shrunk more than I'd like for a car with only 41k km on it. "Healthy" on a dashboard widget doesn't exactly inspire confidence when it's Tesla grading its own homework.

Curious how this stacks up against other 2021 LR AWDs out there. If you've got similar mileage, drop your 80-20% range below, or any suggestions/recommendations for me, would love to see where the pack-degradation curve actually sits for this generation of car.

Not really complaining, to be clear. This is genuinely one of the best cars I've owned, hands down. Just wish the interior had half the character of my Dad's 2020 Lexus ES300h. Beautiful car to drive. But this range math has me side-eyeing the dash every 5 mins.

I leased my Model 3 back in May and since then, I've been charging it at home using my previous EV charger with the included J1772 adapter. Yesterday I was cleaning out the car and opened the sub trunk to find two sealed boxes. One box had the Mobile Connector with all the adapters and the other box had the CCS to NACS adapter. If I recall correctly, Teslas did not come with these included considering they're for sale on the Tesla shop. I also checked my window sticker and build sheet and they aren't even on there. Is this the norm or did I get incredibly lucky

Does this update include v14 lite on Intel hardware 3 cars

Hi everyone, I’m a happy owner of a new to me my2023 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor. I have already done some road trips with the car and I believe that the supercharges are amazing, however I have a question.
A few days ago I went to a V3 Supercharger with power up to 250kw, I arrived at it with 9% of battery left already preconditioned, the charging speed went up to 230kw almost immediately, but then it slowed down quite a lot, up to the point where it was charging at 83kw while the battery was at 55%. I can tell you that it was a hot day with the outside temperature up to 34ºC, I don’t know if that could limit the power.
Is this supercharging rate normal or what

RWD base spec is:

• 2024 ~$34,000 USD
• 2023 ~$28,000
• 2022 ~$24,000

Obviously, if you value FSD a ton this all goes out the window, but something tells me there's almost no way the 24s are 40%+ more than the 22s. I'm open to being wrong but these are reliable AF so I think it makes sense to go for the old one if you're budget conscious.

What are you guys getting on your RWD model 3 premium at 80% charge

I have 2 options pay 1600 for a windshield at tesla with a 4 week wait time or use safelite glass but the glass won’t be OEM although insurance covers them where as I have to pay out of pocket for Tesla and Insurance will reimburse some of the cost. Is it worth getting OEM glass has anyone had issues with aftermarket. I have a 2025 model 3
