I have the discontinued NEMA 14-50 WC unit. It is heating up and reduces charging rate from 40A to 30A to 15A within 20-25 minutes. I changed the 14-50 receptacle to Hubbell (as once recommended by Tesla) - still the same issue. In the same outlet, my UMC with the 14-50 pigtail draws 32A till...

The car may draw small amounts of power occasionally ... for its maintenance. Leaving it plugged in is significantly better than worrying about this small but necessary consumption.

That's just the relays being switched on.

That's interesting indeed the correlation between temp and rated range/BMS drift! Keep in mind measuring exact SOC on the battery is not easy. If we can do that ...

I live in the Cincinnati area, and we still use the flat rate system. In spite of this I start charging with my 120V outlet for a 30mi RT at midnight, to end charging roughly when I leave for work. I consistently get close to 4.5mi/h back. If your daily commute is 40mi RT, you could get the...

Interesting ... mine's a LR RWD too, see my Stats picture from a post this afternoon: Living with 120V - 8000 miles and counting Except for the recent dip, my rated range is almost the same as yours. Is your data from TeslaFi?

I figured something like that based on "Since last charge" data back in summer. They should report Wh/mi with a significant digit after the decimal point. Likewise Tesla should include one significant digit in KWh usage under "Since last charge" - after all they do it for mileage reported...

@ewoodrick the battery is (for sure) inefficient in colder months compared to warmer months. But does it degrade faster in colder months, meaning do we lose more rated range in colder months than in summer? My understanding is that rated range is more a function of battery usage pattern and...

Only yesterday I downloaded the Stats data for rated range. It's always been hovering around 325 till ... The arctic outbreak we had from 11/12-14, when temps didn't go above low-mid 20s for 3 days. In that cold spell I hit the 9000mi mark, and saw the rated range drop significantly below the...

I do 120V charging in my apt garage with a 30mi RT on weekdays. My daily SOC is 50%-65%. Top up only when I go on a trip. Also occasional SC up to 85%. Have 9000mi in 8 months. With recent drop in temps, saw a small dip in rated range on Stats, but seems to want to go back to 325mi. Let's see...

I live in an apt and have 120V (NEMA 5-15) outlet in my rental garage. No charging at work with a round trip of 30mi. It takes me 6h to get back the 30mi. 1. No. Difficult. 2. Not really. 3. Should be fine. 4. Not really.

In the Cincinnati area we have flat electricity rates. In spite of that "Scheduled Departure @ 830a" finishes charging around 600a every time. Doesn't seem to warm the battery. By choosing "Start Charging at 100a" for an approximate 7.5h charging session with 120V to reach my limit, if I left...

Is available (just now ordered one). FYI, Tesla says on shop.tesla.com: "Note: Limited inventory available. Once current stock is sold, this product will no longer be available."

Same here. Have a Sandisk Extreme Go USB with write speeds of up to 150 MB/s (I believe Mega-Bytes, NOT Mega-bits) and read speeds of up to 200 MB/s. Must be a bug as suggested by (see below).

My RT is 30mi/day. I charge using the standard 120v outlet. I always leave it plugged in when not driving. My battery max needle is set to 65%, and charging starts at 10p. Almost 4 months and 4300mi later, everything is fine and dandy. Only once did I take it up to 100% (for a long trip) over a...
