My problem was app/software related. My car was barely losing a mile a day to vampire drain so it would have been months to drain the main battery or the 12 volt battery. If your 12V is original from 2017 I suspect that is your problem. It's at least 5 years old so time for it to die. It's...

I have no idea what is going on. Last night I checked to see if the charging would magically start as scheduled. The battery was down to 46% with the charge limit supposedly set to 50% (the battery/charge slider no longer shows in the app). No charge was started. This morning I switched off...

To your last point. Yes. I stupidly let an update install while I was away. After 3 years with the car and Tesla's software updates you would think I would have known better. The other issue is that I don't have the slider on the app to adjust the charge level so I can't initiate a charge...

None of the other systems at the house that I can remotely monitor have had a power interruption but it's possible as it is a dedicated breaker for the EVSE. The picture on the app shows a green cable to the car and the charge port is red. I would think if there was no power from the EVSE the...

I'm away. Left the car plugged in as usual with charging set to keep the battery at 50%. Always maintained the battery charge level in the past. This time it topped off the battery once and all seemed fine. Since the most recent software update to the car (2022.44.2) the car hasn't charged. My...

I just posted my lifetime consumption. Still improving. Down to 269 Wh/mi. I am not aggressive but don't exactly live in the right lane drafting trucks.

At the 3 year mark. Efficiency continues to improve with no real change in driving habits. 40% around town at whatever speeds traffic is flowing. Highway usually between 70 and 75 mph. Zero problems, great highway cruiser, tons of interior space, still as quick as ever, and really rather...

Please post the alignment results when you get it done. Something is off somewhere. You got 1/3 the tread life I expect to get, with pretty much identical cars.

Duh. (Sorry, sarcasm was genetically encoded). Booked a service appointment but even though they contacted me about it I get no information as to whether it's a legit fault or the car just letting me know ABS was necessary and activated. Thought maybe a forum member had dealt with this.

2020 Model S Performance w/ 19" wheels. Original Michelin SP4 tires with at least half tread. I can induce a brake system warning message on the instrument cluster any time I want if I brake hard enough (with cold brakes or after deliberately warming them up a little). "Reduced braking...

That is some pretty even tire wear. I can't see any cupping, odd wear pattern or inside vs outside wear that would indicate an alignment problem. Doesn't look like over or under inflated. Seems like we have identical cars and I should get an easy 30,000 miles from my PS4, so long(ish) tread life...

I'm highly suspicious of rear end damage. The sheet metal on the left side lens could not have left the factory looking like that. If it did Tesla is doomed now that there is competition starting to roll out. And paint runs, ill fitting panels, paint nibs,... aren't acceptable on any car. Price...

Get it aligned. Same tire on 19" wheels, Raven performance. I'm just over 21,00 miles and I would estimate another 10,000 before the tread gets low enough to be a problem in the rain (5/32" remaining). I rotated once and it was not necessary. Very even wear front versus rear. Love the steering...

Check out Myers Tire Supply for excellent tire repair tools and supplies. I used them when in the repair business but I'm pretty sure they will sell to anyone. Not necessarily cheap but pro grade and made to stand up to repeated use. A little extra money spent so you don't wind up with a bent...
