If i may ask, how much is your Insurance costs for you guys?
if plus windscreen coverage (10k), the total premium is around 4k+ for me.

Collectes the car earlier today and everything looks good during the delivery time.

Went home and found out 2 things that I din noticed earlier.
1. Door level uneven. (One side only)
2. The rear seats got some stains on it. Use alcohol wipe to clean and all but can’t get rid of it. Don’t dare use other stronger cleaner products.

Plan to reach out to my DA tomorrow.
Also read from FB, can just schedule a service appointment and get it checked.

Any one got experience or general advise pls share. TIA

Where's the best place to charge just before going uphill to Cameron?
Near Simpang Pulai especially.
Plan to not charge it in Cameron for 3 days 2 night, then come down and charge again (got the downhill regen summore)
Do share if anyone have similar experience. Thx.

Unfortunately there aren't any charging stations near Simpang Pulai but you can try charging at Gentari@Petronas Sultan Azlan Shah or ChargeSini@Festival Walk (both are nearby and of 60kW DC chargers).

For my Model 3 LR, going uphill all the way to Brinchang from Simpang Pulai only uses approximately around 26-30% of charge and going downhill from Brinchang to Simpang Pulai only uses approximately around 4-6% of charge. So logically speaking, starting your journey with around 70% of charge is more than enough.

Thanks.

Mine is SR.
Using ABRP i just checked that going from Gentari@Petronas Sultan Azlan Shah to my resort destination in Cameron - I will end up with 62% (based on Tesla calculator = 270km). So jalan2 makan angin for 3D2N, should be more than enough to come down and charge at the same EV station again.

Hi guys, am looking to purchase my first EV. Now im considering either the Model 3 LR or SR. Initially im looking at the LR but after much research i read that you shouldnt charge the LR to 100% full on daily basis. So the range for the SR & LR is roughly the same.

I dont drive fast. I dont drive far. My car is mostly from my house to my workplace and back home. The furthest i drive will be back to my wife hometown which is only 150km away.

Now my question is the difference in speaker/sound system and performance really that great?

IMHO you already answered your own question. For your requirement SR will be more than sufficient.
You mentioned you don't drive fast, so why need to consider the performance difference. But anyhow, the SR is no slouch, for me it is more than enough to overtake any cars in the highway even with the whole family on board LOL

Anyone subscribe to the premium connectivity?
I don't care about the media streaming all as we can use hotspot for it.
But I like the Sentry Mode and the life Traffic features.

How come? Not in the Tesla apps?

You can adjust the temperature (the value i mean)? From the manual, it is set to 40' (we can't change this)
But I search online, they can change. Maybe different model/firmware level.

Don't think it's the software version.

Anyway, good to know and confirm about this disparancy of mine. Thanks for sharing the settings.

the software update can be annoying at times.

i remember last time, the wiper control was a slider from left to right. then after the s/w update, it was changed to up-down.

Now, the fan control pulak. Before this was in the middle. now after update it moved to the bottom.
Our memory muscle always need to re-learn and re-adapt.
I was actually struggling to find the fan control yesterday as I started the car and drove off, then after awhile only noticed the fan control is missing. LOL

Tesla uses Google Maps for mapping, live traffic, and destination info.
Cannot beat Waze la.

Got one time it directs me to a one way road (and i am going towards the opposite direction) wtf.
So end up i just buy a holder and uses Waze for those newer/further places.
The daily nearby one i use the Tesla nav.
