Here you go: Max Power vs State of Charge and Temp

I wondering why Tesla doesn't just contract out a restoring service on all CPO cars. Take a look at at what $700 did in this example (notice the holes in the front hood that were repaired): Perfect | Fort Wayne Auto Detail & Paint Correction- Polishworks Auto Detail Just think how happy the...

Thanks!

No pictures??

Doesn't that produce a warning saying auto braking is disabled during the accelerator override? Seems to be another human related factor contributing to the crash.

I'll second that. Or make good on the P100 battery upgrade option promised last year. It feels past due.

I would not be surprised if the service message included an internal 1500A limit until the problem is corrected. I would not worry about the performance with the temp battery pack.

Excellent! I stand corrected and happy to see that I had missed it. Now if I could just set the charge by numbers (i.e. 85%) instead of guessing on the sliding scale, I would indeed retire my Remote S app.

Really? Please show me how to display the current odometer mileage or car software version?

Those of you that have the service manual, take a look at what is listed under Annual Service. Impressive if the service department really does all that is listed. I've yet to have an annual service and this makes me look forward to it. One interesting note is the reference to a laptop...

Maybe not so bad that Elon has chosen to have discussions with Trump rather than joining all the unproductive hate protests.

With an equal measure of respect; I would be spending $20k to match the performance of a P100D, not to match a VIN number range. Financial folly is in the eye of the beholder. Some would say owning any Tesla is financial folly.

What? Do you mean there will be no $20k battery upgrade for P90D? Hard to believe since there was a formal announcement by Tesla stating it would be available early this year.

Last estimate I received from Indy SC was sometime in Jan or Feb. I am so ready!

I've looked for data points in Sport mode vs Performance and could only find a P85D in Insane mode vs Sport mode. In that case there was an increase of 0-60 from 3.2 sec to 4.0 sec. Almost all of the degradation for Sport mode was after the first second so it appears to still give some of that...
