Thanks for the feedback and thoughts everyone. Yes, range mode is off. Today I left climate on for 4 hours (until it auto shuts off) and checking the temp in the garage got it to 40 degrees. Still no charge. So I will be taking the car in tomorrow morning to see what they can help with as...

I have it still on scheduled charge but have been turning on charging from the mobile ap this morning. Yes it’s a stumper.

So figured I would run this by the "experts". Last night I got home with about 60% SoC, plugged into my Nema 14-50 like always (Had my Model S 85D for about 3 years) and went to bed, the car is set to start charging at 11pm and usually finishes each night at about 4am or so. Now I live in...

Looks like this is something in the 2015 builds. Just had this happen to my Oct 2015 build S85D. Of course it happens as I am showing off the car to a couple interested in buying a Tesla and need to take the car of a long road trip next week. Here is hoping that telling the service center to...

There are three parts to a navigation system. The first is the data map. This I believe is pulled from one of the primary Mapping companies. (I assume the same one Google uses, but doesn't have to be. ) this exists only as a vector format (math equation). This is usually cached locally on the...

There are already a million threads that explain why CarPlay/android auto are both impossible and unwanted. The solution is much simpler, Tesla gets periodic updates from Google on its maps (likely with standard updates and then the data stays on each car). They simply need to increase the...

I've seen these comments before but have to admit I don't see the same issues (thankfully). I have now done three cross country trips with my car plus managed to navigate downtown Chicago and the surrounding Chicago-Lamd suburbs all without any Nav related issues. The maps even updated for the...

What the heck is he doing pricing out a 100kw power pack setup? Of course it's over priced at that scale. 100KW, what the heck is he powering at his home a fusion reactor?

I lived right on the boarder of PA and NJ and the number of people who would just stand at the pump and stare at it blankly/confused for dozens of minutes would shock you. Learning any new method of fueling takes some time. My first stop at a super character I had a similar issue but now have...

This is my first car to have leather (if you are going to go big go all the way right?). It is now about a year old and I would like to keep the leather looking as good as possible. Can anyone recommend some products to help moisturize/condition/protect the leather? Also how often should it be...

Well Tesla responded to this so we no longer need to guess. They are doing autonomous testing, just not in Calinfornia so it doesn't need to be reported. They are not disclosing how many miles they have done or where they are testing.

I'm actually pretty confident that AP1 with the radar upgrade would try to stop for this. I've seen the radar pick up objects only a few inches across so even being wicker furniture it would have detected some object. Now if it could stop in time is another question. But it certainly would not...

I don't see anything interesting in this data. It simply shows that Google has a head start...if you didn't know that already you haven't been paying attention. My issue is more that Gooogle hasn't done anything with their development. At this point it is still just a toy to show off with no...

I believe the next major change (as in the thing that causes the bulk of the world to sit up and take notice) is Supercharger V3 comparability. The fact that Tesla is working on Ultrachargers that can charge a car in as little as 5 minutes isn't secret, but unless they have managed to hide some...

It isn't the physical wipers moving when it senses rain that is the problem. It's teaching the AP software to sync it's camera frame rate to the variable speed of the wipers. That prevents the camera from freaking out whenever it gets blocked by the wipers and also teaches the camera to make its...
