I came back from a trip to discover my S had downloaded FSD. I checked the boxes and nothing happened. Assumed I had made a mistake. Drove for a few days and 150 or so miles and when turning the corner the FSD visulation popped up. Today I decided to try it on a very simple trip. It ran through...

Before 2018.26, I usually averaged 285-290 wh per mile on the interstate driving 65-70 with some drafting. This past weekend I charged to 100%-239 miles and drove to St Augustine via Orlando airport. I averaged 262 wh per mile and arrived arrived with 60 rated miles left. Distance was 201...

My S75 was serviced by mobile service to do the brake recall and other minor items lately. Since then my watts per mile around town have dropped significantly. There is a trip I make once a month that shows the same or more. I checked and at 70 I am now using about 270-275 watts per mile while...

Anyone besides me finding the routeplanners wildly inaccurate right now? I just took a trip from Palm Bay to Cape Coral, a distance of about 185 miles. Evtripplaner gave me 250 for watts per mile. Abetterrouteplanner gave me about 330. Closest was evtripping at 279. Actual both ways was 289...

This month’s C & D has an interesting section on self driving cars. Some heavy thinkers contributed to a very thorough discussion.

I am moving from Hawaii to Florida. The car will be 30-40days in transit with both boat and car carrier. I am worried about the battery being untended for this trip. Tesla hasn't responded to my message, so I thought I'd see if anyone has done something comparable and what worked for them. Thanks.

Solar City on the Big Island can no longer tie to the grid with 2 way meters. Basically, they now install an off the grid system that can draw power from the grid in emergencies. As a result they want to put in 2 Powerwalls to store for the night time load. When they are full, apparently...

Anyone besides me see the video of this on the Internet? I caught a link on BGR. Enjoy tearing this up!

Wanted to check some things in my Tesla account and noticed prices in euros. I've tried repeatedly to get on the regular site and it always comes up -eu. I'm half way around the world from there.

My Tesla doesn't have autopilot enabled. When I got it I had to figure out where to place it in my rather tight garage. This turned out to be 19 in from the end wall as measured by the ultrasonics. Since then I have always used The ultrasonics to park 19 in from the wall. I got 8.0 a few...

like many people I watched the media circus over Uber starting self driving car service in Pittsburg. It has been quite a few days and the media hasn't been able to gin up a follow up about a car or person being hit or a car getting lost. I know they have engineers riding along, but it still...

I live on a small island in the middle of the Pacific and get my Tesla Wednesday. As I am 200 miles by barge from a service center, Tesla has shipped it to the nearest harbor. Someone is flying in to receive delivery and make sure it is in good condition. Then they will call me and arrange...

i've had two people tell me in the last two weeks that Tesla and Volvo are building a joint service center in Kona. Does anyone have any information on this? Would be good timing for me as my s60 should arrive next week.

According to Autoblog, grey market X's are being bought in CA and shipped to China, these are American market cars.

i guess 150,000 Tesla model S's don't count. We plug in too, and we don't use any gas or diesel. Another case of people not wanting to admit Tesla even exists.

There are full page ads on the car mags touting their self driving E Class. I wonder if they are wondering about the timing what with the current media frenzy on this subject. If people think Auto pilot is a bad choice of describers, what will they think of self driving as a describer? The...

Just noticed that the specification section of the first page of the Model S in the website shows the ability to upgrade from 60 to 75 as an option.

Yesterday I ordered a MS 60 with no options As we know, Tesla prioritises by price/ profitability when setting production and this is as low a priority as you can get. I will be at the back of the line and this should give us an idea of the backlog. I'll let you know my estimated delivery date...
