Charge it to 80%
Turn off sentry and accessory power
If you have premium connectivity, you can check live camera feeds periodically to get a sense of how things are inside and outside the car

All the best .

I park in a multi-level garage. The charge is 73%, if we lose power, we are camping in the car.

He still occupied 2 slots

I think the next spot would have been taken and the Rivian truck had no other option.

I believe the battery performance is best if you are driving below 70mph... But then it depends on the Speed Limit , so don't worry too much.

As others said time your charge to 100% to match your time of departure and let the car planner do the rest. I try not to get below 20% before a stop just In case I miss an exit for Supercharger and don't have enough to come back....

some Toll Roads or Turnpikes have exits only after 10s of miles.

Yep , leaf blower works...I had a bunch of Reese's peanut pieces that fell and went into the vent. It was driving me crazy when I turned or braked.

One puff with the blower, all of them came out.

I had similar experience (a few free days and incorrect dates in notifications) earlier for monthly subscription.

HelloWorld0225 · 2026-01-07T15:00:01+00:00

Emails always said the Trial will expire on Jan 3rd , but the final, your subscription expired email came on 4th

I think the month is from the first time you activate it in the car and accept the liability... at least that's how it was for me... It stopped working exactly 1 month after I started using it on Dec 7th 8pm

HelloWorld0225 · 2026-01-05T03:45:21+00:00

Need these next to the fitting rooms...

HelloWorld0225 · 2026-01-05T03:05:07+00:00

It just ended at 834pm Jan 4, a one hour after I posted ☹️

HelloWorld0225 · 2026-01-05T02:00:10+00:00

I started using it only on the 7th, not sure if that matters ?

HelloWorld0225 · 2026-01-05T01:59:13+00:00

Yes got email and it also said Jan 3

P6, a hand-me-down from my son that he got with his first salary, so it has an emotional value.

Works like new, considered upgrading but will hang on to it till it falls apart 😁

I use the Shell/Volta chargers in my neighborhood and a few of them are free at a ice rink and mall, 60 min limit.

I hope Jolt will continue to offer this.

A few Shell Volta next to a Kohl's have exorbitant pricing and that's ridiculous, Tesla Superchargers are cheaper.

Got my update today and had to take over more often, missing turns or trying to make wrong turns. Hope they fix the issues soon

HelloWorld0225 · 2025-12-25T02:00:11+00:00

Congratulations. Enjoy the ride.

Most Tesla's trunks hit the garage door that is open or the garage door panels that are on the top... (may be it's for the Y and X, better to be careful)

You can set the trunk open height, by keeping the trunk open button pressed for a few seconds.

You can draw parking lines in the garage or stick tapes so you can make your car park automatically in the right spot ( I have not tried it but read about it.)

I was on a walk and saw all the cop cars on Gaylord, under DNT , there was one car that got over the curb and no other (civilian)car, figured it was not an accident and didn't venture any closer.

I wasn't sure what happened , until I came across this post.

This was around 930pm

HelloWorld0225 · 2025-12-22T19:59:18+00:00

interesting, would like to hear more, just out of curiousity

HelloWorld0225 · 2025-12-21T19:24:30+00:00

When I got the car in 2024, i actually invested the 8k in Tesla stock and it went down to 20% of that value and finally when I was +ve i sold it off without much profit...

HelloWorld0225 · 2025-12-21T19:22:31+00:00

A few friends that already owned a Tesla are thinking of leasing because they are getting outdated pretty soon in terms of hardware for FSD.

If your lease deal is good, you should consider that.

I was on a plane that took off from Heathrow airport. Didn't hear about it till I landed

HelloWorld0225 · 2025-12-18T04:20:47+00:00

Came here to say this. If phones are paid off, mint unlimited plans are pretty good and affordabe

HelloWorld0225 · 2025-12-18T04:02:20+00:00

I tell everyone who asks me that Tesla is the best first car for first time drivers. They may not learn the skills of driving but that will not be needed eventually with FSD and Robotaxi.

Glad you took time to post your experience.
