I think I'm on my 4th battery now. I've been thinking about adding a plug up front that is tied to the jumper terminals so that I can trickle charge the darn thing.

For the first 8 or so years my service was top-notch. Doesn't help that our Service Center was destroyed by a fire and is marginally open at this point more than a year later (with only 6am-7am appointments available). Now I'm stuck in a revolving door whereby every "repair" seems to result...

When I initially brought home my Signature P85 Model S about 11 years ago I set the maximum charging current using the touch screen in the car to 30 amps (since I share a small EVSE with my Nissan Leaf). The limit has always remained set at 30 amps (except after needing to be reset after visits...

I'm on my third touch screen replacement and/or major update, the latest one after the old "black screen of death". Apparently now Intel (rather than Tegra) driven according to the repair invoice. So hopefully I received a decent CPU. Shortly following that installation I came back for more...

Just shelled out the $500 for the radio "upgrade" and noticed the crackling/static issue right out of the gate. You'd think they'd pause new installations until this issue is fixed. But I guess this is no surprise from a company that sells a car with a "radio", and then deletes the feature...

Just paid $500 for the radio upgrade for my Signature (2012) S. Crackling radio issue noted from the get-go.

Haven't been able to connect via iPhone app for some time. Noticed that the cellular bars were at 0 with a slash across them. Rebooted the display and that appeared to reset the cellular with 3.5 bars now showing. App connect is working again. Fortunately noticed that the reboot reset the...

Having trouble today staying logged in. Everytime I move to a new thread or try to post I'm logged out for some reason.

I assume that if you unlock the doors by pressing the shift button, but no one opens the door, then the doors can be opened at any time?

I think I'm on my fourth at 6,000 miles.

11Kw system at my house, and over 25,000 carbon free miles so far.

Been there, done that. The solar panels on my A8's moon roof are nearly 20 years old and are still going strong. What do they do? Run the HVAC blower motor all summer long to keep the interior of a closed car at ambient temp. Even though the leather is nearly black, I've never burned my...

You would probably exceed the 40% fill rule if you wanted to add the 6 gauges on top of the existing wiring, and enclosing more than three current carrying conductors requires that you reduce the allowed current to 80%, on top of the 80% you have to allow for continuous current situations.

I agree with Flasher. I think much of the sense of an initial tight-nit community had to do with the very small numbers of owners in the early days. Everyone knew each other. Same thing in the Leaf community and in their forum. Now I see Leafs everywhere, and for most, the car is just a car...

Ha!
