So I parked at the airport for 4 days with 250 miles left in battery. when I got back there were 135 miles left. Sentry mode was on so big drain...I guess. But the strange thing is, outside temps were 40-50 degrees the whole time but the cabin temp was 80 deg F. when I returned! HVAC was...

Personally, I would not need to know what the battery size is, just what the current rated range with a full charge is. The past usage pattern will determine how much of the capacity is still there.

I am in the camp that all-AI, all the time, is better than rules based. Consider Google Translate. Until a few years ago the main approach was rules of language based. More rules, better results, but it basically stunk. Then a separate team developed an AI approach with no rules, just feeding...

I have been driving my new Model S for a week. (replaces 2013 model S) HW4. There are two particular issues that make me unwilling to trust Autosteer. First, on highways, driving in right lane, passing an on or off-ramp. When there are no dotted lane lines separating the ramp from the road...

I picked up my my new MS Sunday in Brooklyn. Drove it right to my parking garage so have not done a real shakedown on it yet. It replaces my 2013 MS that gave me 10 years of faithful service. Some low-speed motor whine and rattles but battery still has virtually all of original rated range...

Late to this thread but misery loves company. No, to answer the question, since I was accommodated. In 2019 my 2013 Tesla was on a lift in my garage and the lift malfunctioned. Caused body damage. The garage paid for repair and a loaner so not on my insurance. Mercedes dealer was the...

You've gotten good answers already. I would just add that the route planners try to get you there quickest, which might include being almost empty when you arrive. If you spend more time at the charger (like it wants you do do for a round trip) to get full you'll be able to plug into a 110 at...

So I just heard about this in the newspaper. I see it's been discussed here and Tesla posted about it on their web site in July - if I search for it in support. This is just a rant but when, exactly is Tesla going to reach out proactively to owners to tell them this? There are thousands of...

Thanks, everyone. Making the pins smaller would help. Driving into NYC you see only pins and no roads.

I can’t disable the map pins showing supercharger locations. The lightning bolt display toggle turns on/off non-super chargers and brings them up on a list in the right left side but the superchargers remain no matter what. You might call this a high class problem but in the New York metro...

False alarm. The MCU did not die. The car was in deep sleep and while the drive electronics booted up after 3 or 4 minutes, the MCU remained dead for at least 10 minutes, when I got tired of waiting and left. Some time after that I saw the phone app re-established a connection with the car and...

My 2013 model S has been garaged and plugged in for a month. It went into deep sleep (I assume) Upon my return I got the car to slowly boot up systems but the center console isn't coming on. The car will go into gear and out. The dashboard screen seems to be working properly (but nothing...

My model S has been at Mercedes of Manhattan for 6 weeks for a crunched rear quarter panel. Tesla will not give the repair shop any ETA on parts. I just left a message in my account at Tesla.com but this thread (and others) is pretty discouraging.

Most distressing. Not how I wanted to start my getaway for the 4th.

The update (last weekend for me) seems to have fixed it. Drove for 90 minutes with no reboots. Previously, it was every 10-15 minutes on my 2013 P85+
