Well I'll add my 2 cents of observation.. I regularly drive 168 miles one way all freeway.. I average 2 hours and ten minutes give or take 5 minutes due to traffic and fast lane slow pokes .. normally during first few months of ownership oct18 awd i arrive with 100-110 miles of stated range...

I will try that .. they battery tier 2 guy returned my call stating that the current temperature in my garage is the cause for the low discharge rate... Its 58 degrees in my garage maybe as low as 55 at 4pm. Can anyone confirm ..

So after tier 2 poked around a bit they solved nothing.. it seems they say it's not a cooling issue and by the looks of it they don't know why I can only get a short ten minutes or so of 5 kwh of output before the gateway starts sucking off the utility companies power .. I'll have to press them...

My battery when fully charged only discharges at a rate of 3.4 kwh . Spoke with cs and they said they agreed but don't know why .. my settings are cost savings and at 10% or so left of soc it gives the 5k output it should for about 10 minutes.. my house has a current draw of about 5.5 kw ...

I am all for the new pad set up first .. I agree that maybe the compound of the pads is soft.. I had a perfect set for my Evo that worked as good as the brembos at a quarter of the price .. I'll look up some aftermarket pads .. a quick search on the net showed a dude who cooked his pads on the...

My issues are from 100 down to 80 ish .. just had it happen to me again.. it's like having to constantly second guess my entering speed on a unknown turn . For 5k is it just calipers that are needed and or lines and rotors .. and I bet I'm not pushing hard enough soon enough either ..

I have owned a tuned Evo 8 Mr .. that said I know this doesn't have the same performance in the braking.. but... While traveling with other cars at a high rate of speed into a sweeping corner every car brand I've traveled with out brakes me into the turn. I'm talking like scrubbing of 10-15mph...

Well I just got booted from service appointment because of the lack of part availability.. also was told no loaner car will be given .. told the CS person will not work to take clients in a Uber. And my paint needs fixing..

I wonder who is the OEM of the signal assembly and what other parts our cars have by them . If their QC and engineering f-d this up this quickly in the game we maybe in trouble after our warranties expire and we all get to wait on hold for an hours just to talk to somebody on the phone. I'm a...

Well I have the left side issue as well on a 5 day old awd .. and my local sc said a new part is the only way to fix it . Will see

I awoke to my VIN removed from web site and car removed from my app . Still have a signed mvpa with the old VIN .. seems like everyone at CS is closed today. Here's a question for somebody that may know does Tesla get credit towards the quota by giving me a VIN number or only get credit when...

I once was forced to take delivery of a 140k rv that had been side swiped by the dealership delivery driver .. in California a vehicle is still considered new even if it needs bodywork . It's a percentage of the final price versus cost for repairs. Bondo on cars from overseas shipping is...

I received a text message from Tesla delivery rep stating my 7 pm pick up in Fremont was cancelled.. at that time I had not gotten a VIN...ten minutes later I got a VIN in the 94k and a delivery date sometime between now and November.. very puzzled by why my car has been assigned but not...
