I've never even considered going that way...Google maps has it at 5 hr 44 min for that route, 20 min longer than the Gallup route. I'd say less time charging in Bluff, except that the charger there will only output 200A, so good for about 65kW on the Tesla and 75kW on the slightly higher voltage...

Oh man...cautiously optimistic here. I put down a deposit on our first Model S in 2014 after the "D" announcement and the appearance of this charging station as "coming soon". Flagstaff to Durango is a major route for us. We now have a Model 3 and a Rivian R1S. I've resigned myself to adding an...

I thought I had it priced fairly, and did get asking price. Contact came in through a Craigslist ad. Buyer drove a one-way rental all the way from north of Fresno.

Car has been sold. Thanks!

Location: Flagstaff, AZ. Mileage: 92,600. I am the original owner of this 2015 Tesla Model S 85D. It was delivered at the end of March 2015. The battery / drivetrain warranty is therefore good through the end of March 2023 (unlimited miles). The car has premium connectivity and free...

I just used this charger in Pagosa on the way back to Flagstaff from Keystone, CO. It's in a nice spot and we were able to eat lunch on the patio of a nearby restaurant while we charged to >90%. We went to Keystone the weekend before by going across the Navajo Nation with Blanding as our first...

The taper he is reporting as having been the original taper of his battery pack is now approximately the taper of all 85s as I have understood it, past the point where we drop below 90kW. Chargegate has reduced all 85s to an "A" battery profile (past about 25 - 30% SOC), and has further limited...

I think your and SmartElectric's definition of a "chargegate" profile are significantly different. My understanding and application of that term is that "chargegate" happened to every Tesla vehicle, or at least every Model S/X (...maybe every post original 85kWh version A pack if SmartElectric...

From what I understand, that seems to be the case (about 10% slower speeds above 50% SOC). However, he's reporting something more drastic - never even reaching the previously attainable 118kW, much less the new upper limit of 150kW.

They told him a limit of 2500 kWh of charging before the SuC rate is capped? This is only roughly 8000 miles of driving. If this were a cap for all 100kWh cars, I would think we would be seeing a lot more rate capped 100s at this point. 50K miles total on the odometer with 25K miles of...

There can be some incredible headwinds on this route. My family and I visited some friends up in Santa Fe last year and did some skiing. I had the skis on the roof (first and last time I'll be doing that on a road trip). We charged to about 235 mi of range in Albuquerque. I ended up rolling in...

Definitely agree on this. Kayenta has been on the "coming soon" map I think since I bought the car in 2015. Since I regularly travel between my home in Flagstaff and Durango, this "coming soon" dot made me feel a lot better about having plunked down a reservation on an 85D (reserved in October...

Not at all. My post was meant to offer a possible explanation about what the issue might actually be. Whatever the underlying issue actually is, it does not excuse Tesla's behavior in stonewalling owners, telling them that their batteries are just fine, and not giving any explanation and no...

I'm going to answer this as if it were a serious question and not internet snippiness, and I'm going to reframe slightly as "What does it matter what the nature of condition Z is?" This matters because it has implications for what the eventual remedy might be, the outcome of the litigation, and...

Essentially. It could very well be another input to the control system - temperature seemed the most obvious. “Bad” could also be overshooting in Tesla’s eyes - it may be that the sensors are still within what they’ve determined to be the specification. Hence the response that everything is...
