    Which voice commands do you use most?

    Turned my seat heater on with it. I'm pretty much going to try a voice command for anything that's on the touch screen - especially for stuff that I might do while driving so I can avoid the distraction of looking at the screen.

    14-50 Winter Charging

    The Model S would limit to 16 amps if the connection between the wand and the car wasn't secure. You may have either a bad UMC or charging port. Are you in a location where you can try another Tesla charger (not supercharger .. but like a destination charger)? That should help determine...

    Is the D version model S more efficient than the non D on highway?

    My WHPM on the 2016 90D is 275 on the highway vs. the 310 my 2012 P85 was getting But that's not particularly a fair comparison ... would need to compare with a recent S90. For me the AWD is a big bonus even on dry pavement especially when accelerating from zero while taking a turn (e.g...

    Hack-charging on a generator

    I needed to rebuild the carburetor on my EU6500is so what better way to test a full load than charge my car? Plus I wanted to see if I could charge directly off of it by bonding neutral and ground. Success!

    Following distance

    Yes - especially noticeable above 60 MPH but even with a setting of 1 it's staying back way farther than it used to.

    Did you try enabling slip start mode?

    Folks living in cold/Northern States, what Model S do you own?

    If you drive with snow/slush on the road, your range will be awful (plan on 50% rated). If it's just cold, you can plan on 80% (all other factors being equal - e.g. 65 MPH). If it's SUPER cold (< 0F) then 75% ... Frequent stops (get out of car, run an errand, come back in) when it's cold is...

    90D Range slowly declining

    283 actually. At least, according to what I wrote in my blog when I first got the car... I don't keep detailed track of my numbers.

    90D Range slowly declining

    Holding steady at 254 at 90 and 282 at 100. When new it was 256/283. 10k miles. 13 months.

    90D Range slowly declining

    I'm consistently now hitting 255 at 90%. BTW there are threads covering what rated range as displayed by the car is. It is not purely based on energy in the pack; it does include driver behavior as well as environmental factors. There's not only plenty of evidence to support this but I have...

    Video: Here's why you have to keep your eyes on the road when using Autopilot

    IIRC the second one was right at the :49 - :50 transition. The first one I think was at :47. It's tricky because it's not prefixed by the audio dropout but they absolutely match the tail-end of the one at 14:19:26 after the dropout clears. The fact that there's this much debate about the audio...

    Video: Here's why you have to keep your eyes on the road when using Autopilot

    Wow. OK, so the sound at 14:19:26 ... yeah, no that's not the tail-end of AP disengaging. That same sound happens at least twice more between 14:20:46 and :51 ... it's something else. Give it up.

    Video: Here's why you have to keep your eyes on the road when using Autopilot

    I, for one, give the OP the benefit of the doubt. Why? Because I've had numerous occasions where AP has done the exact same thing to me. It tried to drive me into a jersey barrier across a very well-defined yellow painted line on the left! Fake or not, it illustrates a *real problem* and...
