I don't know if you can make it from Asheville to Santee without a stop in greenville. Given that, from Asheville to greenville is easy. I'd only charge in Asheville enough to get the tapered charge rate, maybe 60% or so. Then stop in greenville and charge for the Santee run. There is a good...

To the OP, while I can understand that your experience with the double flat and the situation that ensued due to that was less than desired. I do, however; hope that the perceived (real or otherwise) deficiency of the Model S is taken with the understanding that had this double flat occurred in...

I'm not sure if there is a difference with the P85, but my 85D gets 242 at 90%.

Push the selector away from you, then re-pull towards you twice to engage AP at the new current speed.

I have driven the same route at least 4 times. I've noticed a significant improvement. On at least two of the exit ramps on the right, which on the first day were so abrupt, I ended up completely taking the exit, those two areas are now just a gentle drift to the right and it recovers back to my...

I must have had more luck in finding spots that my car can recognize than the majority. I've tested it a total of 3 times so far, all three successful. I started with a space that was quite large between cars, big enough that I figured it wouldn't work from the discussions here. I could have...

I found a position that is comfortable with my hands "on" the wheel but not so heavy handed (as I've been driving my adult life) that causes the AP to disengage. i try and see some of the limits of the system, as others appear to do also, so I was trying to find something similar to the "tesla...

I'm one of those that normally has hands at 10 and 2 with all of my arms weight resting on hands.

Has anyone found a way to keep your hands on the wheel while in AP that 1) didn't cause AP to disengage and 2)didn't make your arms tired supporting the weight of your arms mid air since you can't place much weight on the wheel without causing condition 1)?

I'm not sure of the numbers, but a large majority of Tesla are still found in California. They may be under developed from the idea of an 8 stall station per every 600 Model S/X. That should get better over time as they once they "cover" the US, they can backfill from a capacity standpoint.

5 to 10 times more energy use? I hope that is not accurate. I haven't driven yet in winter, but going from 300Wh/mile avg to 3kWh/mile would not be good at all.

The HPWC or NEMA 14-50 is not rocket science. A good licensed electrician shouldn't have problems with it. My run about 70 ft with a new sub panel in the garage 100amp service was $1400. Tesla recommended was $3000. I went with my local guy that I had worked with before.

I don't know the situation where you are at, but I do know in some States, (Ohio is one), there is a limited number of locations that Tesla is allowed to sell cars within the state. In Ohio they only have 3 licenses, so if sales employees attend something other than the stores in Columbus...

I've driven until 8 rated miles remaining. When I started the last leg of the trip 42 miles (if I recall correctly), I received a warning that I would reach my destination with less than 0. I immediately slowed down (approx 10 mph below the speed limit). Fortunately, very little traffic where I...
