Does this attach to the existing socket? I'm not necessarily looking to DIY (DIM?), I'm not very handy electrically and willing to pay for something that works.

This doesn't appear to have the cigarette socket, which many accessories require. My air inflator has this plug and needs the voltage stepped down.

I am trying to use an Outdoormaster Shark 2 board inflator which has a 12v plug. It works fine in my wife's ICE car's socket (and a similar unit even used to work in my old MS), but in both of my 2022 MY's 12 lighter sockets, after a few seconds it displays an error code indicating voltage too...

Yes. I noticed the same problem and found your post while searching about it. Tesla, please fix this.

When they call the Dream model "low volume", it means they will make one that will be bought by Larry David to drive around LA yelling at fire trucks.

I want to see Tesla license their display/console to BMW. Whenever I drive my wife's X1 I want to punch the useless nav system.

In the last few weeks I suddenly started getting this warning every time I plug in at home. (Haven't tried charging elsewhere since then.) . Nothing changed with home electric setup, same Tesla charge cable I've always used. I've read about Tesla's getting reduced charging after a certain...

Wow. Thanks for the feedback Tao! Yes, the days I was measuring the range I was schlepping around town (my commute is 6 miles of stop and go traffic) with little highway. I certainly don't expect to get as good range as on flat highways going 60, but wow, your shlepping range sounds even...

The temperature was in the 70's the days I did this test, I never precool, and didn't even use the AC much. Please tell me more about vampire drain. Is that lost charge when idle/overnight? I suspect it loses some, but the test only lasted about 3 days.

The real-world range on my 2014 60Kwh model S has degraded big time in the last few years, despite having driven only 35K miles, never supercharged and rarely charge to full. After my last 90% charge, I let it run down to almost empty with before and after pics. Right after charging, the dash...

My reported Kwh/mile is about the same as yours. But I don't trust it any more, because my actual range (2014 S 60 with only 35K miles) has degraded dramatically - about 110 miles on standard charge, down from 160-something at purchase, while the energy consumption rate shown on the dashboard...

Sorry to hear that happens to you. My advice is that you have absolutely no obligation to be polite to anyone who interacts that way. Just say "I need to get going, please unblock my path."

Thanks for putting this together!

Sorry your baby got smashed, and hope you get a replacement soon. Very impressed with the videos, wish my S had cameras.
