25,000 miles on my 2014 P85D : 90% = 222 miles. Hasn't really changed much since new.

Here's one that should be easy to fix... and yet. Stop wifi from pointlessly trying to connect to a net for which it does not have the password. If my car is parked anywhere were it might pick up a tiny signal from some random wifi it'll sit there and not switch to LTE, effectively blocking my...

Ok this is a pet peeve of mine for the last two years with my Model S. I have wifi at the house to support faster downloads/map syncs/etc. and it works fine. But when driving around the car will frequently find wifi hot spots and try to log into them, and usually fails of course. The car will...

Yes it does add 1.9 miles for the eastbound folks post-charge but that's not too bad. Just be sure to put on that extra 0.7 KwH when charging. ;)

Any thoughts on how long it will take to recover from this -3.5% slam?

IMHO I would suspect the metal arched street lights could be a strong radar return signature. The fact that it was slowing down at a medium level implies that it was picking up something fairly far down the road which is where those light poles would be in the field of view. Secondly, and I know...

Last I heard it was about two years off:frown:

Well done Steve! It's nice to see common media reporting on a Tesla capability without complaining about some negative aspect. Thanks for volunteering!

Come on guys! Waaay off topic.

Yea! Finally got my call and Houston-Westchase will be doing my upgrade on 2/23.:smile: They said it should be done the next day. Another data point is that I head at Houston-North that they are doing 8 upgrades/week.

Great to hear Houston is getting close! I was told the N. Houston SC was the location for the L upgrades. Hopefully I will get a call soon too.

A) Agree this blows. B) The clowns on YouTube acting out with AutoPilot are not really to blame. That stuff is inevitable. It's the lawyers that advise Tesla to do this for liability reasons. Lawsuits based on people doing stupid things and wanting compensation from the manufacturer should be...

Exactly. Here we have ample wind farms out west generating 9% of the electricity in Texas. So it's easy to contract for wind energy at $0.087/kwh so my car (and house) can be zero-carbon. Solar may be viable here but it's simply more trouble than the alternatives. It's nice to have your own...

Seriously, this is why I blacklist news sources which demonstrate gross incompetence in reporting technical matters. That statement should never have gotten past an editor. OH YEA they don't have editors anymore.

Good choices. You won't be disappointed.
