The way I'm looking at it now, now that I'm convinced the range wasn't actually reduced in 2024 over 2023, is that they gave me a car that is 3.3% into the 30% degradation threshold without and actual range reduction. I'll take it because I'll get a new battery (if before 8 years and 150K miles)...

Well I do own 2 Prii. But my Plaid gets WOT from every stop in the lowest suspension setting. My previous P85DL hit the 2500 max WOT count which throws BMS error 159 (Maximum Wide Open Throttle Count Exceeded. Avoid hard acceleration). I thought I was going to get a new battery out of it but...

Are you driving 85mph+ everywhere? Have you checked your alignment? The old EPA rating of 396 for the MSP with 19" wheels was around 244. I'm nowhere near that. The EPA rating on my P85DL was 310 wh/mile and my lifetime average was 308, so I was doing just about rated on that car. Until 2024...

Ruined by two trips to the snow. Steadily coming down. 267 as of this afternoon.

Do you think? ;) https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/2024-plaid-rated-range-displayed-is-347-vs-epa-359.322745/page-5#post-8304008

I just followed this: https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelS/ServiceManual/Palladium/en-us/GUID-52C814F5-3382-4715-ADCE-9FE05C01E90B.html Note that the E10 (external torx) were just 10mm hex nuts on mine. I didn't disconnect the airbag wires. As soon as I removed the airbag panel, the 3 clips...

Depends. Lower pressure will result in more sidewall stress but less tread wear with excessive negative camber.

Commute to work this morning. 1/3rd of the route was on a single lane highway driven at 60 mph (55 zone). The rest was 70 mph in a 65 zone. There was stop and go traffic in San Jose on 101 for about 5 miles which took about 20 minutes to get through which was the biggest factor decreasing...

To put it back properly with the gap hider side flap slits over the tab protrusions, you need to remove the knee airbag panel just below. It comes off with two bolts but you should disconnect HV and LV power again since it is an airbag. You don't really need to disconnect the knee airbag as the...

Well technically I don't have any degradation yet since my pack at 5 miles showed 96.9 Nominal Full Pack and still shows that same number today at 3,650 miles. I think yours just started out higher than everyone else. I'm not surprised mine hasn't budged either since I only ever charged to 100%...

I think what you're saying is that it displays/hits 0% when you've used up that 94.6 of usuable remaining. If so, then they're still still playing the trick showing you 0% early. Out of Spec Reviews clearly showed you could use the nominal full pack amount. BTW, my MXP on day 0 showed 97.2 kwh...

I think we're all in agreement except you keep saying 4.5% which if true would leave you with 94 something, not 97kwh.

Forgot to mention 182 miles at 244 wh/mile was 46% of the battery which comes out to just about 396 miles traveled from 100% to 0% before any sketchy buffer use which just so happens to be the old rated range.

See my previous screenshots. Tesla used to have a much stricter anti brick buffer but recent SMT logs in the last few years since refresh show folks above to use a bit more than the nominal charge amount. 99.4 kwh is the physical capacity (smaller than the previous 100 kwh which was physically...

Good times. Oh and I meant to say 90 mv, not 9. I typoed out the 0.

That's what I said although it's no longer 4.5%. The 99.4 is the actual physical capacity when new.

Got it. There used to be an actual "ideal" range display setting.

The 99.4 includes the anti brick buffer which you can't use. A brand new one will show about 97 kwh nominal.

Happened to see this older post in the thread looking for something else. Your screen shots shows a 9 mv min/max cell difference at 86% and a later screen shot showed 390 mv difference at 6%. It's amazing the BMS wasn't just saying no and stranding you on the side the road. A typical healthy...

Ideal range was never the same as EPA rated range. For example, my P85D new showed 253 rated but changed to ideal showed 320 something which was of course impossible. The refresh S/X doesn't have an ideal setting any longer.

Drove home last night from Sebastopol to Merced. 75% of the drive was 70 mph in a 65. A small amount was 75 in a 70. About 10% of the drive was in 50 to 55 zones (driving 55 to 60). 5 miles of it was stop and go traffic in Berkeley. 6 miles was stop and go in Merced. Displayed 240 before I got...

For a third time?

How could you enroll in one without being de-enrolled from the other? I don't have the option to enroll in both.

It's been nearly a month since I submitted the form to de-enroll and as of today, nothing.

Interesting. So doesn't sound like what I'm experiencing. In my case, it doesn't matter how fast or slow or far I do it and I get equal failures in both the turn and PRND stalk. Just to clarify, you haven't had any PRND activation failures? If this is the case, then there's something unique to...

I installed mine last week with my daughter shooting the entire installation on a gimbal. I haven't posted a review yet because I am having an issue which I'm hoping can be resolved but I'm not sure if it's just me or if there's really an issue. Before I get to that, I'll add some of my notes to...

By increasing property insurance rates.

That's what I used but installed with a torque wrench. At only 59 lb-ft it doesn't take much counter torque to hold the steering wheel. Also, the shaft is indexed so you don't need to mark it. It can't be installed at a different angle. More detailed write up later today.

I noticed too that it's slightly later.

That's from home, not auto policies.

Yes but it doesn't seem be any different than my '22 MXP in behavior.

Mine has never once had this startup vibration parked for only 10 hours....not even in the snow. Perhaps there's more than one issue with similar symptoms.

Mine doesn't vary. It either happens or it doesn't. It happens if it's been more than about a day. If I park overnight in the snow in 20F overnight temps, it doesn't happen if I parked it just the night before. It only ever happens if I skip a day or more of driving and then it doesn't matter...

Given that it lasts exactly the same number of seconds every time, I think it's due to an intentional change in some part or system. Did they intend the driver to feel the vibration in the pedals? Who knows, but whatever is causing it is intentional.

No. We all have that because it's by design. But to me it's more like the grind of an electric pump motor than a vibration.

Sell the 21's and buy the 19's. Acceleration is even faster.

3K miles in my February Plaid and no sign of vibrations of any kind in any condition. I guess I won the lottery.

I think I'd use the term participant rather than subscriber. But yes, this is for VPP, not what our power walls do when the power goes out.

I didn't get anything after my second submission.

An alignment is always necessary for any suspension geometry changes. Heck, it's even needed if you swap identical suspension parts.

I went ahead and submitted it again.

Even though the form took my email, I got no notification that they'd even received the request. I'm tempted to submit it again, but with my luck, the first request will go through, I'll enroll in the new program, and then the second request will go through which will kick me out of that.

I submitted the dis-enrollment a week ago. Still showing enrolled in the app.

$700 for an hours worth of work (not including alignment). Wow!

Probably that. The yellow thread locker was completely toast. If the factory bolts come with thread locker, then that's the answer. Also explains why it took way more than 60 lbs-ft of torque spec to remove.

How seriously should we take the service manual with regards to re-use of the steering wheel bolt? The service manual says to discard and not reuse which is typical of stretch to yield. I suspect most just re-use. Wonder if anyone has any service invoices from switching steering wheels that...

It's such a small additional effort there's no reason not to.

BTW, the how to video shows removing the airbag with the power still on. All the other yoke/round wheel replacement videos which also show removing the airbag absolutely do the LV and HV disconnects first.

Not sure if the manual is different for 2024, but it says to remove the gap hider above the steering column shroud which means removing the main display and a bunch of other trim. https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelS/ServiceManual/Palladium/en-us/GUID-9BF1AE5D-E531-404C-A08F-4A3CB64DED80.html...

And just to be clear, AB205 is law and is what is going into effect. AB1999 is a proposal to repeal AB205 with a proposed much lower utility tax. It has no chance of becoming law because even if it passes the house and senate, Newsom will veto it. At this point, it will either have to become a...
