There are tons of videos on Google and Youtube. Google jump start 2013 tesla gets a buttload of videos.

I leave when Tessie tells me, go the speed limit, and charge when and where she tells me. She's the boss :)

Dunno. What else would kill power (open the contactors) from the drive battery but allow the electronics to be on?

The one we are talking about is the reset BMS one.

Supercharging follows the VIN, not the battery on the original S.

Several of us that got the new battery noticed that the estimated 100% range went to 293 in the last few updates. Could be that Tesla matched the stated EPA range of the S90, or something like that. If that is the case, it gives an extra 1-2% upper buffer for degradation or balancing. Still...

No. You can close the contactors with the door open, at least on the 2013 85.

My 2013 Model S has over 216,000 miles on it and I have tried a 'few' tires. The best I have found (and are the ONLY ones I buy now), are the Continental Pure Contact LS 102V tires. The last set I had on Tessie lasted 64,000 miles and had not worn to the wear bars yet. I replaced them because I...

Would close the contactors mean power on? If so, I wonder if it is just tap the brake with the door closed and butt in the seat? If not, dunno.

Wouldn't disconnecting the Firemans loop also disconnect the 12v?

Location is active, the API keys are entered. The page gets the heading info and keeps it updated, just no elevation and current speed is 0 +- headwind.

Installed it yesterday in my 2013 Model S with the upgraded screen... The elevation reads -1000 and the speed reads 0.1 for some reason.

So... Who wants to be first to use the reset BMS button and record the before and after available miles and what it says / does???? (I would, but with a new battery I am chicken) :D

Oops! Yes :)

That amounts to ~244 miles at 90%, ~271 miles at 100% :)
