I think OP is saying when charging, it stops at 204 but after unplugging it jumps to 258 (maybe?) What is the charge limit set to on the car?

You said almost full. How full is almost full? Was it 75%, 80%, 90%? That can better determine battery degradation. For example, if it was 140 @ 80%, that puts is at ~180 miles @ 100% which would be around 10% degradation. In any event, good luck with the car.

I meant to say to contact the NHTSA :). I was sick with the flu when I wrote my original reply and wasn't thinking clearly although I guess a Tesla could be considered an aircraft given how much of a rocket it is LOL.

Not sure if this applies but you may want to contact the NTSB. I would imagine the latch mechanism on the S and X are pretty similar. My car was part of the recall but they checked it at the SC and found the latch to be mounted properly...

Intermittent headlights is most likely caused by a loose/corroded/missing ground bolt. This was a known issue on earlier Model S cars. Rich Benoit (Rich Rebuilds) showed and discussed it in one of his videos. As for no interior heat, this one could be more involved to resolve as it involves the...

To elaborate a little further. The panoramic sunroof was available as an option until sometime in Q4 2018 when it was removed from online configuration utility. There are a few cars (like mine) that were built in early 2019 and have the sunroof (off-menu option before it was completely phased...

I had to think about this one for a second but LOL. Also, with the latest update, I find the wipers worse than ever. They activate now whenever I start my car (even if it's a bright blue sunny sky). Almost useless in the rain, I often have to go to the preset interval options or repeatedly...

Sometime in March of 2018. Anything built before that would have come with MCU 1.

Reviving this thread to note something interesting that I was wondering about but have now confirmed. I had wondered if the reman pack I received would bring with it any improved charging speeds because the part number said it was for a Raven Model S and my car is a pre-Raven. Well, I finally...

I own both an S and a Y. They are very different cars. The Y is much easier to get in/out of especially for older people or those with limited mobility. I also like the packaging of the Y in terms of storage capacity. What I don't like (and it's subjective) is the single center screen dash. I...

The automatic wipers are controlled by the camera/vision system. In recent software updates, it has gotten really wonky (at least for me). Pretty much every time I am driving, the wipers will activate at least once EXCEPT for when it's actually a downpour outside :) in which case they decide to...

The coolant loop is a sealed system. If they did not put oil in the coolant (no way to verify that), and if there is a low coolant alert (and oil in the coolant), it means there is a leak in the system somewhere - possibly in the drive unit where coolant and oil are close together. There is no...

I'll go first - alien abduction to work on Starman's Roadster?

While I know that this conversation is specifically talking about standard Autopilot (non-EAP, non-FSD), I will say that FSD beta does a good job at adjusting the speed up and down. A more recent update introduced additional automated speed adjustments as well. The notifications shown on screen...

Are you sure this isn't a 2019? Warranty end dates don't add up for a 2018. Anyway, 60k miles for 38k sounds like a pretty good deal.
