Folks, you're making me nervous with your low TACC Settings on highways. I use a TACC Setting of 1 for "Stop & Creep" situations, which keeps me a little less than 1 car length from the car in front of me and keeps people from cutting into my lane unless they are signaling and I let them in...

Well, I don't think that any single digit SOC % on arrival is good for the battery; those last 30 miles at 75+ mph will be with relatively low voltage and high amperage which will push the battery pretty hard. My own admittedly conservative strategy is to arrive with approximately 80 miles/30%...

==> mknox said: "The only issue I've had since 7 is that the spoken directions are often truncated mid-sentence. Happens often enough to be annoying." THIS ^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!! And I thought I was going crazy!! For me "truncation" only seems to occur in the "preliminary guidance" before an...

Love it!! Thanks for the smiles.

"Lower Temperature" of High Defrost setting mknox: Regarding the "Double Tap/HI" defrost setting not feeling "hot": If the HVAC system is already putting out as much heat as possible and you roughly double the airflow, the temperature of the air will be lower than before. ==> But...

Same thing happening for me .... We are road tripping through New Mexico and West Texas and yesterday I had the car (mostly) ignoring freeway exits. But today it seems to be darting for them most of the time. :confused:

My wife and I were charging at the Flagstaff AZ SC and getting chilled with our NorCal settings so we called the Worldwide Service number. Friendly staffer suggested we dial up the temperature all the way up to HI, and the system responded quickly such that just a few minutes later, we were...

Because the TST wheel sits 5mm further away from the bearings, the effect is the same as using a Tesla wheel with 750 lbs more weight on each bearing. Think about holding a three foot stick with a 5 pound weight at the end. Now move the the same weight to a 6 foot stick - the force needed to...

My 2014 VOLT (just transferred my lease after 1 year to make room for our Model S) was also trouble free. The 1 year Service including an oil change was free and the Liftgate Strut recall came with a free car wash :^) The hybrid battery in my 2006 Civic Hybrid was failing in 2008, noticeably...

Was Page 2 blank or is it missing? :confused:

The airport J1772 EVSE's I have seen are in short term/Daily parking areas. ==> Would you not agree that Public EVSE etiquette implies disconnecting/moving your vehicle near the end of your charge, not days or a week later? :confused: Pedestals with 120v outlets in Long Term lots would be...

I think that the "Solar-Powered Supercharger Network" actually means that SolarCity/Tesla will generate (on an annual basis) at least as many Solar kWhrs as the Supercharger Network consumes. But most of those kWhrs will not be generated at SuperCharger sites. They will probably be generated...

All GPS systems can determine Altitude, in real time. Whether or not it is made available to view is the issue.
