    Charging strategy for battery longevity

    My normal daily use on a P90D is about 38 Miles. And typical long distance spur of the moment is 120 miles. So for me a 60% charge is about right and covers both the "norm" and the variant. I plug in every day and have the S begin charging from my HPWC at 6 AM so the battery is warm by 7:30...

    Vendor PART 3/3 - 'Wheel, Wheel Well and Tire Care' - How to clean and dress tires

    Very Nice Job Jean-Claude! On my S, the wheel well material is somewhat fibrous. During the winter, I see that distinct lines of salt and dirt are deposited on the wheel wells. the only way I have been able to remove these is either with a brush and soap or a wide fan tipped power washer. Any...

    Model S P90DL power modifications

    Tesla puts a part number sticker on their Model S battery packs. This sticker is located on the passenger side right behind the front wheel well down low on the side of the battery case. You have to pretty much get on your stomach to read it if the car is not on a lift. My particular Model S...

    Battery heater and 2017.50.x
