We never had any issue with temperature either way. It was snowing in New Mexico and in the 90s in Arizona/Southern California, but we just left the HVAC on 70 & Auto and it was fine.

Half way through my cross-country trip for Thanksgiving: It's not blue it's dark silver metallic, but it picked up the blue from the sky.

Cool. Please let us know what they say...

Have you notified TeslaFi of what you've found?

Yes. A friend of mine. No, really - not me. A friend of mine said he was in the program but then when we started chatting about firmware versions he realized that I was getting them before he was. I think it has to do with driving different places on AP. I put 6000 miles 100% in AP in two...

I just got 48.12.1! BUT, sadly I'm at the in-laws house for XMAS and testing the vampire drain with my car unplugged back in CA for two weeks. BTW, the new firmware load didn't seem to make the "idle" event use any range more than normal.

I should have googled it... There's a great discussion here: The 6 kWh electricity to refine gasoline would drive an electric car the same distance as a gasser?

I had heard this too. I actually read (but have forgotten where) that it takes 7 kWh of electricity and something like 100 gallons of water to refine 1 gallon of gasoline from crude. This doesn't consider that cost getting the crude to the refinery of course. Do you have a reference? I'm in...

I'll be out of town for two weeks and I'll leave it unplugged and try not to wake it up with the app, so we can get even more sleeping/idle power consumption.

Not much: sorry about the Moire' pattern...

Just got 46.2 today. Looks like a pretty minor update...

I have free supercharging, but TeslaFi says that the 1551 kWh would have cost $193.93.

I really should have taken pictures of the graphs... As I remember it, they were about 10% more higher than the actual usage was. For instance, on the trip chart it would show we would arrive with 23% battery and after 200 miles at 84 mph, we got there with 13%. To compensate, I just charged a...

On my almost 6,000 mile 2-week road trip I averaged 277 Wh/mile. The weather was mild (we took the southern route) but the speed limits were high (80 in Texas). I don't think that's bad at all. In my LEAF (commuting to work and back) I would get around this in the winter and almost 250 Wh/mi in...

I was out of town the last 3 days and my car was parked in my NorCal garage. I'm at 2018.42.4. Here's the data I took: I also split out the idle and sleep times and plotted them vs the duration of the event. The linear trend lines don't fit the data at all, I just wanted to see what the Excel...
