Is there any reason why Tesla would choose to support lower cost models over their premium models with new features? Especially when the hardware is the same?

I did the fair thing and surfaced the issue and he confirmed, no MCU 2 with HW 3, just as we all suspected. I should have played dumb.

I have a May 2017 Model S (MCU 1, HW2.0). I called Tesla regarding the $3,000 upgrade to FSD that expires today. I spoke with two people today. The first one (a sales advisor) was adamant that I would get MCU 2 with my upgrade because FSD requires additional visualization that only MCU 2...

Looks like lots of people with S75 RWD are having a similar issue. What's your S 75 range at 90%?

Me too. Approx the same miles too. I just posted details in the ordering thread (because I'm an idiot that didn't post it on this sub page).

I purchased a brand new S75 RWD, pre-uncork in May 2017. I researched battery degradation before buying and after my researched expected to see 5-7% degradation by 50,000 miles in a worse case scenario. I knew some folks saw 0% degradation, and it was worse for others. I'm currently close...

The problem with Tesla is they update their cars on random cycles with no prior notice. So the car you bought one day becomes last gen the very next day even though you paid full price. This happened to me. Every other auto maker offers transparency on upgrades because cards depreciate...

Are you sure that they are all 21's? There is now a gray 19" wheel that can easily be confused with the turbines. To me, that's the biggest difference as all the 21's look pretty darn aggressive.

My S75RWD has been losing rated distance at a rate faster than expected, and it only started happening fairly recently. I'm down about 5-7% after 15,000 miles, which I know isn't totally out of the ordinary. But the odd thing, is that sometimes 90% will charge to 210 miles, other times it will...

So for those of you that got the Chill mode update, how does it work on an already "slow" car? It's a little TIC, but also kind of true so curious to know if "Chill" is even an option.

My April 2017 build S75 RWD has been getting updates regularly until .42 with Chill mode was released. Hopefully they are working on a software uncork for us...but was curious if any other slow S or X 75s got this update.

I'm not sure I believe this. The battery is rated for 350V and 1150A. This comes to 402.5kW. The original P85 RWD needed 350kW of power to get to a 0-60 of 4.2s. This provides 13% buffer to the battery. This is all per the Wiki page. There is also a rumor that the motor/inverter from the...

These wheels and tires have been sold.

I won't consider $1,000. These are brand new - they were removed prior to delivery. I have seen used variants go for $1,500+.

Yes they are. I was about to list them on the Facebook page.
