Has anyone realised that some non-Tesla vehicles are going to take TWO supercharger stalls for one car because of the location of the other make chargeport If this happens a lot then it could become problematic for Tesla owners. Although I'm glad that Tesla are doing this as I would now consider...

One question to ask yourselves is why did Tesla create a new 14 module 350V pack for the S and X based on the 100D pack. Is this next generation battery for new standard range cars or a replacement battery for existing owners; either through warranty or a paid upgrade? With owners reporting...

I made a similar trip in my Model S in Sep 2018 and documented it here Exploring the Outer Hebrides in a Model S

My MCU started playing up close to the end of the four year warranty. Rather than wait for it to fail, I had the Emmc chip replaced by Gary at EV-Link 01280830530 I had the same dilemma... wait and hope it failed in the last few days of warranty... unlikely. Wait for the new MCU2 upgrade which...

Charged to 90% in my 85D last week, and noticed that the range shown in the instrument cluster matches the 213 mile figure while Teslamate reports a more real world range of 201 miles at 90%. Still rubbish compared to the 234 miles @90% I used to get before battery gate last year... !

Unless mediation results in new replacement batteries like the 14 module 350V pack for all capped owners, I would like this to go to court with full public disclosure for two reasons: 1) to get a successful resolution even if it takes longer than resolutions 2) to get the full facts about the...

For those affected by #chargegate, here is an observation. The SCFactor (a.k.a Magic Number which is the sum of the SOC and charge power) varies more at the start of the charge than the end, and has a greater impact on how long your charge session takes. The starting SCFactor number appears to...

I expect the delay was caused by the fact that what you received probably had to be run by legal and a number of lawyers. ;)

The reality is that you Model S's battery could have been voltage capped by Tesla, along with a reduction in Supercharging rates and regen (when cold). Tesla may also have modified the W/Mi value used to determine your range. Your life is too long to read all this thread but Page 1 will tell...

The photo was of a poster on the wall of a Tesla showroom taken this week. Wonder if the posters start suddenly disappearing after someone at Tesla reads this?

Saw this and thought of us all!

Sure I’ll pm you or otherwise offer it back to the project in the form of a pull request. I just modified the sql query used to generate the graph

People have been talking about a "magic number" (100-110) that is the sum of the battery SOC and charge power during Supercharging. Maybe this graph is useful to see it if you haven't heard of it before. The yellow line shows the charge power peaking at 122KWH and then tailing off as the...

I would like the court case, if it comes to that, to also address the issue of who owns the car and what rights the owner has vs the manufacturer. We were all ok with the car getting better with each OTA update; a significant benefit of owning a Tesla. But no one is ok with Tesla removing...

Just completed a Supercharge session tonight. MS 85D 45k miles. Voltage capped and reduced supercharging. Here's my latest charge graph (courtesy of Teslamate; I'm not affiliated in any way) The yellow line is Power (min 38KW, max 115KW). Blue is (typical) range in miles and green is...
