    Problem with energy display

    Hi everyone, my 2015 has been acting pretty weird lately and one of the issues I noticed was that my Energy Display this spring was reading energy consumption approx 20% higher than what I would normally get each Spring. Usually in the spring I see my consumption at around 180 watts per km, but...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Thanks for everyone”s comments. One thing I forgot to mention is that my cat is in a heated garage and I set the temperature in the garage at around 10 degrees and so I don’t know why my car would need the battery to be warmed while I am charging? I also do try to schedule my charging to finish...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    This continual “tweaking” Tesla is very frustrating. With the last update I now see the coolant pump (or something) running almost continuously. There are a few things that I just don’t understand other than to think it is being done by Tesla as a way to get energy from the battery, which can...

    Poor side mirrors coverage... found a way to eliminate blindspots...

    There is a Discussion on blind spot that went on for ever with people disagreeing with logic due to their driving preferences. I sure hope that does not happen here :(

    1st Snow day for my Model 3 SR+ and for the season - lost control and bumped into divider

    Mind you at that temperature with winters the ice feels more like driving on gravel than compared with driving on ice near freezing temps

    1st Snow day for my Model 3 SR+ and for the season - lost control and bumped into divider

    Like others have said, you need to have winter tires. It just adds an extra degree of safety. Sounds like you have them, but have not had time to put them on yet. I would not lose confidence in the car over this though, as you really need to see how the car operates with the winters on. I...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Can’t believe I read and scanned through all 291 pages :( Decided to switch to scanning once I started to see a lot of tangents being brought in and also a lot of back and forth about nothing. Sure wish people would not have wasted people’s time with such ridiculousness:( In any event...

    Too cold to start

    I think the manual says at -30 cel for more than 24 hours make sure you plug it in. Everyone should check that and be sure to follow the suggestion. For me when it gets that cold and I am driving around or going shopping for long portions of time I have never had an issue and was thankful for...

    How do you protect the seats when you have a toddler in a rear facing seat?

    If you go to a kids store that sells car seats you should be able to find a good selection of these types of seat protectors.

    Replika R187 wheels causing issues..

    I just read above mention of Kal Tire still doing the free change over and note that in Alberta they are changing their story and saying that their contract was never meant to be free change overs. I have gone to great lengths to inform them of how they misrepresented me at the time I bought as...

    How reliable is your Model S?

    My 2015 85d has been great with very few issues. I have about 35,000 KM on it now, and have no concerns. It has been a great reliable car and I’m coming from an LS460 which was rock solid.
