I'm 58 1/2 I'm trying to not be a dinosaur but did you buy the standard tesla charging port? And that just works with the solar and everything else... I think one day in the future they will be solar panels on cars! Thank you! So exciting you're the first person I know to be using solar and using that to charge your car for free I think that's awesome!

I had a 32A 3-pin plug installed so I can charge up to 7kW if I want to, but I usually dial down the charge rate so it's only taking as much power as is being generated by my solar panels.

@@teslahirewa90 that is so cool maybe down the road you might want to do a short little KZitem on that because I find that inspiring and really amazing and I hope one day they'll be strips on our cars our vehicles on everything to gather solar energy so that's so exciting well done! I thought you might have to use a Tesla insulation but it sounds like you didn't have to buy that. Thanks again you're a great teacher

When you do a long drive in the standard range+ M3 do you get close to the NEDC range that Tesla advertises on their website.

No, the NEDC value of 490km is not accurate - many joke that it stands for Not Even Damn Close. Depending on your driving, 350-400km is more likely.

Yes mate, I've heard many tesla owners say that it about 25%-30% lower for the real world range. I reckon Tesla are doing themselves a diservise sticking with the NEDC rating in Australia. Imagine the flack they would get in the US if they used NEDC instead of EPA on their US website. Looks like the only way you can get that range is you must drive no faster that 80km per hour in a 110 km speed zone and absolutely no 0 to 100km speed checks. Anyway I've come up with a warning for those in Tesla management that believe in the NEDC rating that it now stands for Note Extreme Distance Con that gives future customers knowledge that the NEDC rating is a big joke that's not funny.

It's a fun and informative video. I do have a question when you are done with auto driving and you click out of it you have to really be sensitive to your foot on the accelerator don't you because of the regenerative braking? So beginners we need to make sure their foot is on the accelerator...? Any tips or thoughts... or if you press on the accelerator well that just move it out of what are you drive?

Thanks Suzannah. Tapping the brake disengages Autopilot and it just becomes second-nature that you then out your foot on the accelerator to keep going, and regen braking doesn't slam on the brakes so you can continue on all ok.

Yeah this takes a little getting used to. If you press up to disengage it’s like any car - a gas car will start slowing naturally with engine braking. ideally you balance the throttle to make it smooth but engine braking is usually quite gentle so you have time to correct if needed. On a model 3 the engine braking with your foot totally off the throttle is like you braking pretty firmly in a gas car. So I’d definitely recommend balancing the throttle before doing that. (You can speed up while in cruise so it’s quite easy to feel the balance point)

It definitely takes some getting used to, but when you take your foot off the accelerator it's definitely not like pressing hard on the brakes, but is somewhere between that and the 'coasting' that happens in a petrol car.

So does that mean if you ease the accelerator the rear brake lights come on?

Yes, when you ease of the accelerator the brake light comes on. It's hard to explain at which point that happens, but if you ease off and are slowing down, it comes on.
