The only reason to calibrate is to get a decent approximation of range in order to plan a longer trip. Thank you all for you helpful inputs.

My 2015 90D with 121K Miles only can manage about 215 miles at 100%, and the warranty is expiring the end of this month. I don't supercharge more than 5 times per year on average, and usually go from 80-60% daily and live in PA. I did notice, several years ago, during a 3 month repair at a...

My 2015 Model S Driver door pops open when the handle presents. I assume that the handle is presenitng too far. How does one cabrate the handle? Thanks.

My 2015 90D AWD has 112K miles and a calculated battery capacity of about 64.5 KWh and a 100% range of 223 . It seems like it loses about 1 mile a month (not sudden loss) but that is a rough estimate. I asked Tesla about 6 months ago to look into the degradation, but they said nothing is wrong...

Thank you. I cannot access service since I already have an actual install scheduled (which I would cancel if I can get the struts for significantly less). They quoted $900 a piece just for the REAR COIL SPRING MODULE. Does this sound reasonable? I believe they are the same part as...

Found out from my mechanic that the rear struts on my coil spring suspension after 2015 Model S with 102K miles are shot. Although he could easily replace them, he cannot get OEM parts. Tesla will charge $900/strut + labor to replace. ( Rear Coil Spring Module -DM S3 (10156020-03-D) ). There...

Thank you all: They also found one of the motors need to be replaced. The total invoice was $2225.81 with tax. Still it irks me that I was charged for the glass because it sometimes breaks when it is removed (and it broke!). Otherwise, it would be was less (about $500 total without the motor)...

Thank you for all your responses. I did have this serviced at least every two years since new and asked them to lubricate it. BTW, I just received an email that they ordered "ASY, PANO ROOF 2.1 FIXED GLASS KIT, SERVICE Part #: 1053621-S0-B" so I assume they could not save the glass. I find...

I have a 2015 90D and starting to hear clicking sounds when opening the moonroof. Finally, it became stuck open. Tesla service stated it was due to two broken struts. However, they stated there would be a possibility of fracturing the glass due to high tension needed to remove the glass in order...

Thank you for all your help. Planning to go soon.

Our family is taking a long weekend (Friday to Sunday) from Phila to Niagara On The Lake to a house that only has 120V outlet (which I should get a few miles overnight). I see there will be no problem going there and coming home, but this leaves little charge for day-tripping. I see that there...

The only problem with changing it to range mode, is that you can not do this from the app and you may be quite far from the car. So there should be a way to chose to heat the battery or not if you wish to heat the cabin.

It looks like when I use the Tesla App and preheat the cabin, even when unplugged, a small red battery symbol appears in the middle of the screen. I assume this indicates that the battery is being heated in addition to the cabin. Therefore, I assume I am using a lot more energy then before...

So, if I only have a rated range of approx. 214 at 80% on my 2015 90D, I have a problem? I don't charge to 100% very often, so being "off balance" may be the concern?
