Thanks - so you are speaking from the POV of a witness of a few Tesla’s whims?

After 150K miles, my original-owner 2014 MS85 HV battery failed. Thankfully I had 3 months left on my battery warranty so my estimated cost to replace is $0 (whew!). Meanwhile I was told it will take 6 weeks, so what are the latest offerings for an 85 battery replacement? Anyone out there with...

What's your max range? If over 290 you should easily make it from Mqt to Duluth without having to go south to Escanaba, which would be out of your way anyway and wouldn't put you any farther west. I have a 2014 MS85 that, when new, had a max estimated range of 262, but which I could stretch to...

I've driven my MS85 to Marquette many times since 2014...at the time I lived in Boston and owned a cottage near Traverse City. You had to plan ahead for waiting/stopping at destination chargers in northern lower MI and the UP from 2014 until about 2016/2017 as traveling north of Lansing prior...

From my family cottage in Traverse City, long prior to the expansion of the SC network, I have driven my 2014 MS through the UP perhaps a dozen times. When my MS was new there were 2 SC's in all of Michigan, to which I had driven from Boston (via Maryland, my only route choice) in other words...

I have an older 2104 MS85 with max range now approx 242 miles and I have driven confidently to Marquette 10X since 2014, and YES, I have arrived a few times with 5 to 10 miles or so of range, including this past summer, but I have never fretted about not making it because I use the on-board...

The GOOD: Charged successfully yesterday at Clare SC with my 2014 MS85 (July 20) en route from Traverse to Detroit/Royal Oak - worked great! The BAD: At 1:30 a.m, en route back to Traverse - Clare's SC had NO power. With exactly 50 miles range remaining, and 50 miles to the Cadillac SC...

I am glad you are up for spending time making comparisons - but wondering if you own a Model S? Number 7 is incorrect, for starters. My MS has an optional smartphone entry system, which I have used several times, including when I left my key in a rental car in Boston, and would have been...

I've driven my 85 to Marquette four times from lower Michigan, and would never drive around the lake to do it....starting in 2014 when there was no SC network in MI and I could make it from Maumee to Interlochen on one charge (albeit below the speed limit). From Cadillac to Petoskey, stop at...

Tesla nav prompted me yesterday when I programmed a stop here that the SC is "temporarily closed". So I called them and they explained it hasn't been functioning properly lately....yet asked me to try it with no guarantees it would work so at 9 pm last night I arrived and though all lights...

Worked today. 135kw. Saved me a trip to Cadillac en route to Petoskey. Cheers.

Just wrapped up a fabulous two-day Yellowstone tour en route to Seattle (moving from Boston). Didn't read any of these posts before our visit, but no matter. Here are some updates: (1) The evening prior to entering from the east on Sept 11, we got a range charge in Sheridan WY and drove to...

OK - thanks. I would need to use your adapter for the 6-50 as I only have the 15-50. Sounds good - probable ETA would be mid-late afternoon - I will text you about an hour out. You're about 4-5 blocks from that coffee place, right? My cell is 906-250-2650. Chris

Sheboygan or Bust? I will be passing through Sheboygan tomorrow (Tue Sept 8) and will trade favors. I'll stop and take pics of the site for you, if you let me charge up at your place up the street from the water mill coffee house (Alterra?). I sent you a note via Plugshare but didn't hear...
