    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    We have about 83000 miles on our 2014 S 85. We still trip charge above 250 miles (about right for 4.5 years of use). Usually, I charge to the break line between Daily and Trip. We have used average of 279 kWh/mi since delivery. We have gone on trips of 1000, 3000, 4000 and 6000 miles with...

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    Also not much to "hate". The service guys in Scottsdale and Tempe have been great, always helpful. We did have some dash vibrations, fixed by the service people. The only real annoyance is the floor mats- the stick-on velcro pads do not work in AZ- gets much too hot, and the glue simply lets...

    frunk versus $#!?%

    This is a real bummer. I had a similar occurrence in a Home Depot parking lot- all I know is that a white pickup truck left a long white streak over the left front fender. I parked in the middle of nowhere, 8:30 on a Saturday morning, came out to find the crease. The HD people would not let...

    Updating my MS - Abstract Ocean upgraded led lighting kit

    finally got around to taking a picture of the puddle lights (see the post on the first page). The lights are actually the same color, just a different reflection on the garage floor.

    Anyone NOT have a Sun/Glass roof? And...?

    Solid roof. We live in Phoenix, and have had the sunroofs in cars for the past 10 or 15 years. Never opened them. Too hot regardless of the e-factor in the glass, plus the hair is thinning on top:p

    Tesla Projector Puddle lights

    Just checked, the Amazon link from ABVA works, could put the items into a shopping cart. Seem to be pricey relative to others, and only 66% rating on the seller. Just an FYI.

    My non-PUP has puddle lights

    ETW- sorry, that is NOT the wrong connector- the wiring color code is constant in all of the doors, at least in my car. You can reach it with an 11 inch long nose plier. The lights only turn on when the door is opened, go off when it is closed. i have not done anything with door handle lights...

    Updating my MS - Abstract Ocean upgraded led lighting kit

    Here is the play-by-play: First, remove the light from the door. Use a spudger or a spatula with some tape on the end to prevent scratching. Then take a Dremel tool with a cutting disk, and carefully cut off the clear plastic ears. Try not to cut into the black LED housing. It will resemble...

    My non-PUP has puddle lights

    The easiest thing to do is to cut out the hole in the rear door. The hard plastic shell acts as a template. Use a small blade, like an Xacto knife. Just cut the opening. Look into the hole from below. A small flashlight will help. The wires with the plug are just taped together. Reach in...

    Puddle Lamps

    Hello-- Here is a short "How to"- First you pop the light assembly out of the door. Then, using a Dremel tool or similar with a cutting abrasive wheel, cut the clear ears off of the lens. Work carefully to not damage the black LED block. Cut both sides in this manner, and the black block will...

    Brighter interior lighting and Tesla T puddle lights

    Hi I forgot to complete the reply to ABVA on April 13. To widen the existing hole in the door, i used a Dremel tool with a sanding drum. I carefully widened only enough to allow the back nut to clear the black vinyl and plastic door casing. This is a remove a bit, test, remove a bit more...
