    Am I charging incorrectly?

    Agreed if that is what the number came out to. I would actually expect 110v to be closer to 50%. Anything 240 to be 20 or better (really roughy estimates). The number can get really bad fast if the car it active at all when it is done charging. There has been some notable software bugs that...

    Am I charging incorrectly?

    Ok. While the rest of you figure out the numbers, I have a feeling I know what is going on here. I haven’t used tesla fi, so I could be wrong. But, most vehicle trackers report energy going into and out of the battery when reporting charging and driving. This is what most people care about...

    Am I charging incorrectly?

    Weird. quick question. How are you charging? are you using 110V? 220/240? how much current? I ask because 110 is the least efficient.

    Short Commute - Trickle Charging OK?

    Just be aware that charging at 110 is the least efficient way to charge, but also the "best: way for battery life. Also the lower you set your max charge %, the more cycles you can get out of the battery. So if you can make it your whole week on an 80% charge, then your battery will last that...

    Can the Tesla Wall Connector output power to a NEMA 14-50 outlet?

    You could just buy a J1772 connector with a pre-attached cable. Then have the electrician swap the tesla connector, making the wall charger a generic J1772 charger that is compatible with all ev's. This way you can keep adding tesla wall chargers and they will share the power, time share etc.

    TPMS

    the p85D is right on the threshold of the change in tpms. if there is a menu to actually see the individual wheel pressures on the instrument cluster, then they should be compatible.

    Almost a disastrous 1st trip (but it isn’t over)

    As a long time owner, and talking to lots of tesla people, the charge cables can sometimes be on the wrong side of a tolerance stackup and be stiff. The easiest method, on the cars that were the hardest to plug in, using UMC, HPC and Superchargers were to align the plug, and then just firmly...

    Chrome delete on white model 3 - white or black door handles?

    I have a white MS and have black handles and love it. BUT, I would like matching white handles just as much. BUT If the white handles were not the exact same white as the body, I think it would look tacky. At this point, then would rather have the contrast, so Black handles it is! Can I...

    Model S - Spy Shots

    They are pressure relief valves. They keep from blowing your ear drums when someone closes the trunk. All cars have something like this in some shape or form. They are normally hidden under the bumper skin, so this car does not have the bumper skin on. That cylinder looks like a resiviour...

    Message: Drive Button Problem Vehicle May Not Be Able to Enter Drive

    This normally means that the button is not working properly or the gear selector board is going bad. Most likely the button has failed. The message is the same if the button is held down for too long since the car thinks that the button has been stuck in the down position.

    Fake. Tesla stopped using the shield in their logo a while ago.

    Ah, you are probably right. Your picture is a lot more clear.

    Roadster in Japanese car mag

    It is probably, due to the backdrop, the car that can't be spoken of (wrecked). :frown:
