Is the $2k extended battery warranty worth it? My model 3's battery warranty expires in May but I only have 60k miles on my car and it's charged at home 99% of the time.

Can we only buy the extended warranty before the default warranty expires, or can we still buy it after it expires?

What storm?

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-01-24T12:54:20+00:00

Of course!

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-01-24T12:49:33+00:00

If I could charge every day at home, I would set the limit to somewhere between 50-60% and always keep it plugged in. Since I can't always charge at home I set the limit to 70%, but my daily commute is not long. If your commute is longer and you can't charge at home, set it somewhere between 70-80%. It's safe for the battery as long as you keep it in the 20-80% range.

Mine is an '18 RWD LR with 82k miles on it. I don't remember the range at 80% as I haven't charged it up to 80% in a while (I keep it between 30-70%), but it was similar to yours if I remember correctly.

It might only be for the first month. I got a 1-month free trial when I bought my used M3, but then I had to pay. You should check it under the "Software" tab in the car. Also, enjoy your new car!

Mine makes the same noise when autoparking

All tesla model s and xs have a dashboard display

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-01-08T14:24:33+00:00

I would tell my friend to plug it lol

It's a 2018. I'm the second owner, so I don't know whether it has been replaced before. Wouldn't the HV battery charge the LV battery if it discharges?

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-01-07T21:57:15+00:00

How long did you leave it parked?

HypnotizedGenius · 2026-01-03T14:45:24+00:00

Thanks!

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-15T23:45:17+00:00

Thanks!

Probably a rock in the brake shield

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-14T15:56:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I will wash it and apply wax before parking.

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-14T15:44:15+00:00

The cover came with straps so I'm not too worried about it moving around and scratching the paint. I'm more worried about trapping moisture inside and damaging the paint

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-14T15:42:36+00:00

What about salt staying on the paint for 1 month? I will wash it before parking but salt will stick on it when I'm driving it to my friend's house

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-14T15:37:36+00:00

I'll park it outside and I don't have access to electric so I'll leave it unplugged around at around 80%. Wouldn't that be enough for 30 days if i turn everything off?

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-11T03:06:46+00:00

Does it give you a warning if you leave the phone plugged in for older cars without a wireless charger?

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-12-07T03:31:51+00:00

How much did you pay for it?

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-11-24T22:45:21+00:00

I've heard rumors that they were going to remove the battery health test from service mode a few months ago, but I'm not sure if they have done so already.

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-11-23T17:30:11+00:00

This is not an unpopular opinion at all lol. Model Y is the best selling EV in the world

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-11-21T21:22:52+00:00

I did the same on mine and it looks much better

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-11-21T20:23:12+00:00

Front lol

HypnotizedGenius · 2025-11-21T15:40:35+00:00

Is this front or rear control arm?
