The half shafts in my 2020 Model X got noisy at around 14000 miles December purchase 2019. They were replaced under warranty. The service center also cleaned and lubricated the calipers on the Car at no charge July 2021 and gave me a loaner. So no complaints on the service. The car has 30570...

Went out to Mothers Day dinner. County driving AC on 12 miles 3 kWh 278 watts/mile round trip 30-40 mph speeds

The FIRST part of the survey was the make, model and year of my vehicles. 2020 Model X long range & 2021 Model S Plaid So I think it is fair to assume that they knew it was Tesla cars

I just checked my Email and I have 3 likes and no dislikes. I will put ucmndd in the dislike column. The the ratio is much like the ratio of people who miss trust the media vs those who really trust the media. Like I said I have lots of company.

Yesterday when driving across Rockland county N Y , very hilly terrain, lots of curves and some stop signs and traffic lights I actually used less range than the actual miles covered on the round trip. I was not using the climate control but had my windows open it was a nice day. Sure if I drive...

Friday I went on the Consumer Reports web sit to fill out a survey on my cars. When I got to the question of range on a full charge the MAXIMUM range I could enter was 100 miles OR I could answer "unsure" See below what I copied and pasted below from the survey. Well I am NOT UNSURE and I...

I have a 2021 Plaid which I got July 1, 2021. Yes I got one of the first ones. It has almost 20,000 miles. I get an fairly loud clunk from the left front. It only happens from a stop. Only in the forward direction. I can also feel something "break loose". The trouble is it only happens...

I have the same problem the first one started failing after 7 months and 6k miles replaced a month later under warranty. The failure was at the lower left corner of the yoke in the same place as rborovoy yoke above. The second one on schedule started failing after 7 months of service in the...

Let me be clear. I did not say that the car can adjust the speedometer calibration from the camera system. The camera system in the Tesla is doing computer aided photogrammmetry to map the cars surroundings to be able to self drive. The car before it can "self drive" first has to do camera...

Well at least according to Tire Rack When the Y-speed rating indicated in a service description is enclosed in parentheses, such as 285/35ZR19 (99Y), the top speed of the tire has been tested in excess of 186 mph, 300 km/h indicated by the service description as shown below...

When I placed the order with T Sportline and spoke to them they were very specific same size all around and the size I listed 285/35R20. BTW I am getting the promised replacement wheel tomorrow and it will be installed Wednesday. I will explore the range issue with the service center. I will...

I agree it's an estimate. I have not run my Plaid From 100 % to Zero to see what the range is so I can't comment on the figures you give but they are reasonable depending on how much fun you are having with the Plaid. I think in a prior post I noted the tire diameter differences and the new...

The tires seem to be getting less noisy but have not put very many miles on them yet. The ride, handling, grip in all directions for street driving is about the same as the summer tires. I think the wheel tire package has a pretty good look. On the range issue before the new tires the miles...

The range at 70 % charge this am was 277 miles vs 274 so even more range. I concur the watts per mile determines range. Depending on the trip 260 for a low 330-340 watts per mile for a high. I will see what it does today and post some feed back.

Yesterday took the Plaid in for a wheel and tire change out @ the Mount Kisco Tesla Facility. They had to dismount the tires install the "purple" Tire Pressure sensors that are different and are blue tooth. They installed ST 20" Tesla Model S Long Range & Plaid Wheel and Tire Package (Set of 4)...
