    2016 S P90DL Wh/mi - What to Expect ?

    No problem! Yeah, if you're a tech geek, you're going to love those 2 apps. Scanmytesla literally shows the voltage of each module. I agree on the range too. I've done 2 3,000 mile trips to Florida and back. The P90DL can easily do 180-200 miles at 70MPH. My body is done after 175 miles so it...

    2016 S P90DL Wh/mi - What to Expect ?

    I would recommend contacting Electrified Garage up in Amesbury, MA. They are former Tesla techs who opened their own independent shop. I've had all my repairs done exclusively through them in the last 2 years. They are super knowledgable and friendly. I've even seen Rich Rebuilds hanging out...

    2016 S P90DL Wh/mi - What to Expect ?

    Hey, Congrats on your P90DL! I've got a 2015 P90DL with 65K miles and my lifetime average is about 325 wh/mi, mostly driving in MA and NH. But I also have the 21" wheels. Yet, when I take my car down to FL during the winter season, I average 280-300. I wouldn't fret too much. You bought an...

    used p100ds now are dirt cheap. What's going on?

    That is not true anymore. I still have a 2015 Model S. AP1 will follow the car in front when lines disappear and when no car is there to follow, it will give a slight ping pong effect to basically warn the driver it needs help. It never gives up trying and always tries to stay smooth as possible.

    Autopilot is useless on non-highway roads.

    I have a 2015 AP1 Model S. It is very strict on speed limits (+5mph max) on non-highway roads for auto steering, but not for Adaptive Cruise.

    Love my sunroof, can’t get myself to upgrade

    Oh no doubt about it. The EQS is the kinds of looks only mother could love. But I'm too old to give a hoot what others think about what I drive. I just want an EV that baths me in ultra luxury.

    wh/m - P100DL?

    Wow 419 seems high to me. My 2015 Model S P90DL with 21" wheels has a lifetime average of 325-350 wh/m.

    Love my sunroof, can’t get myself to upgrade

    What's your thoughts on the EQS? She ain't pretty but has real leather, pano roof, USS, stalks, Apple Carplay and a really good range.

    Keep 2016.5 90D or move to 2023 LR?

    See if your city has any 2021+ Model S available to rent on Turo. Then you perform a long term test drive and compare your AP1 to the current AP.

    2015 P90D sells for $42.5k on cars & bids, time to sell my P85D?

    I would love those faster charge times, but my 2015 also has the free connectivity and sunroof that opens. I use that sunroof every time the sun is shining. Leaning towards Mercedes EQS for my next EV just for that reason alone.

    2015 P90D sells for $42.5k on cars & bids, time to sell my P85D?

    My 2015 P90D still blows away every car at a traffic light. How many new cars today can do 0-60 in less than 3 seconds? Not much more than existed in 2015. Just the other day a Challenger SRT floored it on a green light and was shocked that he couldn't shake me away. I was riding his tail for a...

    My experience upgrading to MCU2

    Good decision to keep it a long time. Consumer Reports ranks 2017 as one of most reliable years for the Model S.

    My Tesla Model S Plaid

    That's interesting. My 2015 Model S (pre-credit card) seems to have that feature you want. I get out of the car, leave the door cracked open, radio/hvac stay on, car is put in park. But then I just get back in, hit the brake, shift and go. I carry my key fob with me all the time.

    Western US Road Trip - 2017 Model X 75D

    Check out the main touch screen. Haven't seen an old version like that in years! Which software version are you on?

    FSD Capabilities

    I recommend watching the Dirty Tesla's excellent youtube channel. He does detailed and honest assessments of FSD capabilities. You can watch its performance in real time as he drives. His latest video takes you through downtown during rush hour in some city in Michigan.
