    Have your watts per mile dropped due to service/update lately?

    ... and here I am in my P85 trying to figure out why i'm around 400wh/mile at 80MPH whereas I used to be at 350wh/mile at 90MPH. (it got cold is the answer, I know)

    Blackvue 750 causing 12V battery warning?

    I've had a BlackVue DR750-2CH since last October and just finally got the 12V battery warning a few weeks ago. The BlackVue doesn't use enough power to do any damage to anything. It does increase phantom draw, but more than likely the battery just happened to develop a bad cell around the time...

    Is there no option to use/supercharge a US Model S in Europe

    I think the simplest option may very well be to swap the charge port on the car... But even then, I'm not sure Tesla would allow it. I fixed that for you :)

    Driver's Seat extremely uncomfortable.

    I'm young, and I came from a Cadillac with pretty nice seats, so I'm probably somewhat biased here. I've found that on my normal long road trips (800-1200 miles or so) every week, I usually start to get some pain in my butt after about 2 hours or so. I've found that moving around will relieve...

    You have no idea how tempting it was to do just this...

    What's the Right Tire Pressure?

    I’ve found that 53PSI after ~30 minutes on the interstate works well. Gives me good range and pretty even tire wear, but this means my cold pressure can vary between 45PSI and 51PSI, depending on how cold it is outside. As I drive a lot, and may leave an area that’s 80F and arrive somewhere 12...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    The version of Toolbox sold to shops/owners in Massachusetts doesn’t allow things like that. The majority of normal people don’t even know it exists, like most other car manufacturers tools. I agree that most owners aren’t like me, but most owners are going to expect calls to be returned and...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    I don't consider $30 for an hour's access to the tool an unreasonable price. Most procedures i'd be doing in my driveway (coolant change, brake fluid change, etc) could be done within that hour window. It would also give me plenty of time to run the test on the HVAC system to figure out which...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    If they don't want to be asked/expected to do this (Which, they do, very often. I've watched Eric pull the logs from the car and looked over them myself), they should give us ACCESS to the tools to do it ourselves. I am more than willing to buy Tesla toolbox, but Tesla won't allow me to, so that...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    Because my car is out of warranty and I refuse to pay $125/hr for labor. WHAT I’m calling about is irrelevant. It’s that they say “Yeah, we can do that, we’ll call you back.” and they have never called me back. When I have Taken the car in for other issues (such as the leaking seals around the...

    Why Tesla Will Fail

    Nashville is roughly the same, in my experience. I’ll call the store about an issue and specifically ask them to pull logs, and they never call me back. If I call Back, they never even bothered to write down the request. As such, I’ve had a heater that only works about half the time since...

    Model S with 21" Wheels, Brake noise.

    I've found that some runs to 100MPH and then hard braking down to 1 or 2MPH will usually make mine be quiet for a few days, but the sound usually returns. I don't really care about it, so I haven't taken it in to get the noise looked at.

    Model S with 21" Wheels, Brake noise.

    My car does it, but it's never bothered me. I'm used to this sound from previous cars that had very aggressive brake pads on them.

    Lower Income model S owners

    Most days it's about 1 or 2 hours for daily driving. On the front and end of the week I can easily spend 12-16 hours in the car.... Being paid for every mile :)

    Advice on cutting it close on range

    CharePoint stations usually are pretty reliable. I haven't found a broken one yet that I wasn't expecting, as the App seems to stay pretty updated. If you do 55MPH, you could make it. Since you have AP it would be a lot easier for you to go so slowly, but I would try and find a L2 charging...
