    Looking for ideal USB drive that does not stick out

    I just picked up one of these for my MP3’s - very low profile and works great in center console: Type-C Flash Portable Car Styling U Disk Stable Fast Transmission

    Mirror tilt on reverse broken

    Same here… took delivery of a new Model S yesterday, and fiddled with the reverse tilt adjustment for way too long… and was unsuccessful in getting the tilt adjustments to save (contrary to the what the user manual says). Also noticed the passenger side adjustment was very limited. This worked...

    Upgrading existing 14-50 outlet to Wall Connector

    Now that I’ve downloaded the Wall Connector manual (shoulda done that before my original post), I see that the Wall Connector also supports conduit entry from the top or bottom. So, I’m considering 2 options (picture added for clarity): Remove the junction box with the 14-50 and connect the...

    Upgrading existing 14-50 outlet to Wall Connector

    I’m also considering a 14-50 to wall connector conversion. In my case, the 14-50 junction box is surface-mounted (at the end of a conduit run on the surface of the garage wall)… so it seems a proper installation would require recessing the junction box. I’m debating if it is with the effort.

    3rd Party Extended Warranties

    My 8 year warranty is expiring in a few days... does Tesla offer an extended warranty beyond 8 years? I’m the original owner, mileage is 84k miles.

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    I haven’t supercharged with a low state of charge to properly test the max charge rate. I have supercharged at 100kW with the battery just over 100 miles of range.

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    I kept the brand new 90 kWh pack, and I am quite happy with it. Interesting note: In addition to the increased range, it also seems to be more efficient (if that is even possible) - my driving style and routine have not changed yet my average consumption has dropped from 324 Wh/mi (first 57k...

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    Seems to still be calibrating. 90% is now 244 miles. I’ll do a range charge soon to see what I get.

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    Yes, I do - is V1 version one, as in original chemistry? Would like to know the significance.

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    Got my car back yesterday - took just 7 business days including resolving a few other items. I received a new 90kWh battery (not a loaner). Just charged to 90%, got 240 rated miles (my old 85 got 229). Here’s the battery label;

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    The service center informed me today that my entire HV battery (vs. a module) needs to be replaced. The replacement has been ordered, but it will take “some time” to get it - I should receive the ETA by a Friday. I will also be informed whether this will be a new pack or a loaner pack. If a...

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    The Palo Alto service center was open today (Sat) - they had no loaners available so I deecided to keep the car and use it for local trips this weekend, without relying on ability to charge it.

    Battery Charge Level Will Be Restricted. FML.

    I just received the same message on my classic 85 this morning. The Tesla service contact told me it is a balance problem, and since I already have an annual service appointment next Tue, to keep driving it in the meantime. That seems inconsistent with what I just read in this thread, and it...

    What's your 90%?

    Good news... engineering identified the interface issue that caused my sudden range reduction, and they pushed a FW update to my car on Friday. I immediately recovered my prior range (232 rated miles at 90%, 256 rated miles at 100%). I am very pleased, considering I have only lost 9 miles of...
