Day 20 of driving my 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance from NY to LA.

Anymore tickets? 😂

It’s a really great car! If you are just going with one other person and no dogs you have room for days for all the camping gear. And it gets pretty close to the advertised range!

And mine was great for the first half of the trip, then randomly cellular stopped working. The service center kind of fix it but caused 10 other issues like a bunch of rattles and the software having all kinds of glitches. I

@@M3Tesla13 dang! But good to know about the tint. I bet it’s still better than not having it. My theory right now is that the tint absorbs the IR light turning it into heat which then is already in the cabin at head level and not reflected back out. Bummer.

@@M3Tesla13 that’s really good to know. I may hold off on tinting the roof then and just do the side windows.

[@jetsamjetsam]

wait u telling me u went from 12 to 17% going downhill?

[@M3Tesla13]

It went 16 miles downhill through Yosemite and gained 15 miles. So basically 30 miles free.

I could never have an EV. I can’t imagine waiting in line to charge for 8 hours
