    Number One shortcoming of the supercharger network

    I am in South Florida and often travel to Tallahassee to visit my daughter at college. The SC’s I stop at all have facilities and food. Turnpike, Ocala is in a mall, lake city has stuff close by within a walk. Live oak is in a Busy Bee truck stop which is like the Costco is truck stops. the SC...

    Thoughts on my charging habbits

    The SC network is the "Killer App" that sets Tesla above and beyond all others! It will take a ton of time and $$ to be able to drive the places I can with my 85D, which is about anywhere in the USA!

    Thoughts on my charging habbits

    I feel ya, I love to save a buck myself. Probably why I charge when I go to dinner sometimes. I don't know the REALITY of how much it loses over time by SCg to 80-90%

    Thoughts on my charging habbits

    Yea, I am in a similar spot adn at first I was using teh SC whenever I dropped by. Electric here in SoFla is $.10/KW. Then I did the math and for me waiting around 45 minutes, I was saving like $4-$5. Sooooooo, I installed a wall charger (I had a NEMA14-50 and used my mobile cable at first)...

    Model S Black Horizontal Line In MCU Screen

    I had that same issue on my 2015 S85D. Fortunately, it was under warranty and they replaced it. It is the "bubble" issue. It did not affect the car at all other than the aesthetic. The screen worked fine for some time with the problem, until I was able to be without the car for a couple of...

    Home charger failure

    I had a NEMA 14-50 in the past (I think it was Leviton), and it melted big time and arc'd when I removed my mobile cable form it. So I switched to the Wall Charger and I am very happy for it, even though it was $500 (I installed myself). The sockets work loose over time. I dont think they are...

    Supercharger - Ochopee, FL

    Would be nice to supplement Naples on the west coast and Plantation on the east side of the alley! Sometimes the wife needs to use the rest room at the 1/2 point. A shot of juice is always welcome. Would put Tampa in reach from there.

    Autopilot total failure followed by self repair???

    NO! Not a Factory Reset. Just th shut down. It takes about 30 seconds. Then you touch the brake and it will boot up. Factory Reset will reset all of your settings and locations in the NAV, etc. Like if you are selling the car.

    Autopilot total failure followed by self repair???

    I had an issue on my 2015 S85D the other night. I canceled an auto park and then I got a message saying that the Autopilot was Disabled with a red X. I rebooted the big screen, then the instrument cluster, but the AP would not turn on and the message remained. Then I went to service menu and...

    Battery damaged

    May be covered under collision insurance. Have a buddy who works for a major insurer that covered a repair from running over freeway debris. Damage sounds similar. Also, some computer components were damaged by the coolant fluids. Worth a call.

    How accurate is the "since last charge" info? Troubleshooting excessive consumption

    I am out in South Florida and it is getting HOT. I see that my AC runs here and there to prevent cabin overheat (I have that setting, set). I got a sun screen for the windshield and it helps a ton when I am at work. Bottom line though, while I want to see great "mileage", it is pennies per...

    Model S(2017)75D Air conditioning not working cause battery temperature

    I am in South Florida and my AC cranks! I have a 2015 S 85D. When I am walking out of my office, I will commonly see cabin temps in the 100-105 degree range and it is down at 73 before I get in the car (less than 3-5 mins). That being said, once it is at temp, I think that the humidity comes...
