So I have a 2015 P85D 21" and have run Contis (36-38k kms), Michelin Pilot Sports (32k kms) and have just fitted the new Hankook Ion EV tyre. Front inside edges on last set of Contis wore through to canvas on inside of tyre, not where tread is (was!), and Tesla have rebuilt front end at my...

You guys with newer cars should be grateful for the phenomenal range you get. I have a 2015 P85D and driving at my most conservative in ideal conditions can never see under 190 wH/km so my range is around 340 km actual. I would be over the moon to see 150, let alone 120. Newer cars have...

In discussion with a Tesla tech (in Australia) revealed that an update in early 2020 I think changed the settings for cooling. My 2015 P85D runs the cooling pump any time I charge over 80%, and for 6-8 hours, or until charge drops back to 80%. At higher SOCs it does eventually stop, but long...

Wow, at 90 mph that is spectacular, but I guess in hot weather you get the offset of lower air drag. I have averaged 330 Wh/mi over the life (so far) of my 2015 P85D and Tesla tell me that I "pay" for the P with some reduction in efficiency. At 90 mph (totally illegal here) I would be looking...

Agree with some of above posts, critical issue is that Tesla don't abandon older cars, at some point there will be no upgrades left that will work with old CPUs, memory, etc, but given a car might last 15 years they can't do what Microsoft do and just abandon XP for instance! My 2015 P85D...

My experience concurs with most of what has been written above, Tesla service was so good in Australia in 2016/17 that I found myself telling them they didn't need to wash it, they didn't need to give me a loaner, I would come and get the car they didn't need to send it back to me on a flatbed...

Interested to know if anyone else is seeing this, Tesla service tech tells me it is "typical behaviour" for batteries the age of mine. For past 6 months or so (i.e. since upgrade xxxIforget) anytime I have charged to over 80% SOC a pump (now confirmed as the cooling pump) runs for hours, up to...

I am a bit confused by the thread. If you can trust the car's info feed, and the battery drops from 90% to 20% and it shows 57 kWh drawn out of the battery, then the car is telling you that 70% = 57 kWh so 100% (useable) = 57/0.7 = 81.4 kWh. It seems to me that doesn't matter where those...

Thanks to all the responses above. You sort of assume that all Tesla's behave the same, but maybe they don't. I am on the latest Australian update v10.0 (2019.32.12.7 b728e1d) and ... for the past 2 years, on auto steer, the car automatically slows down AND speeds up, when it passes speed...

Hi, I have a Sept 2015 P85D with AP1 and until 2 upgrades ago it was as perfect as that technology was going to get (or nearly anyway), it was amazing. Camera recognised road sign speed limits accurately, a paused upward lift of the CC stalk set that recognised speed limit for cruise control...

I would have thought that this is just battery charging efficiency. The car is measuring how many kWh it puts into the battery, then how many you get back when you drive. Batteries are not 100% efficient, so on your car appears that it takes about 73 kWh into the batteries to provide 63 kWh...

So I haven't seen that noted elsewhere (maybe (I missed it), when I charge my P85D over 90% (supercharger or not, doesn't matter) the coolant pump runs for hours (yes hours!) with the car otherwise sitting idle. It is a problem because it knocks off available kms just sitting there. I only...

I am in Australia, have only had my P85D for 3 years but have seen same total collapse of service resources. They were obviously over-manned 3 years ago and the service people couldn't have been more friendly or proactive, now because of cost cutting they are just uncontactable and Tesla have...

I have a 2015 AP1 P85D, in my experience there is something in the software that differentiates between a stationary object, or an object moving at high speed towards your car, compared to a car you are following. I e. the car doesn't mind looking directly at a car coming towards you on the...

Another aspect of recent update - AC pump runs for extended period after charging ceases. At this stage my Sept 2015 P85D VIN 5YJSB7H4XFF089069 is not showing range reduction, but........since the recent software upgrade the AC pump continues to run after the charger is disconnected. This did...
