I just want to thank you all for sharing your information. I'm in this thread because my car's having serious trouble charging below 0F (battery cools, charging stops) and if I want to keep driving, I need the latest update which will warm the battery to charge in cold weather, but I'm still at...

Ah, thank you! I'd tried several machines and locations and so assumed it was more general. Thanks!

I did a quick search of the forum but couldn't find any comments.... EVTripPlanner.com has been down for a few days. Is it shuttered for good? Has anyone heard anything? I donated and asked about a mobile app, and he said he had some summer project ideas for the site, so I thought it would be...

Selfishly hoping this happens in time to save me a 500-mile detour in May, running to TX. It would be the first major inconvenience in my cross-country rambles. Please, Hot Springs, let's do this!

What are the odds? Saturday night I pulled off the interstate at Whiteland, IN, a small farm town and not exactly a bastion of alternative energy. I pulled into a gas station -- yep -- to drive through the attached Arby's. And what is in front of me but another Model S? Two Teslas, late at...

I just arrived home after a 1300-mile run back, and I am pleased to report this thread greatly helped reduce my Autopilot nagging. :) I just had to move my grip about a half-inch up on the wheel, to add more weight to my hand (elbow resting on my leg). This was enough for the torque sensor...

I'm not asking this question to get around the system. :) I'm asking because the system seems to ignore me. I frequently prop my arm on my knee and hold the steering wheel. This results in little weight/pressure on the wheel but I do have a full grip on it. When I use Autopilot -- which is a...

My signature's a reference to a madcap parody tabletop RPG and occasional LARP, called Advanced Dimensional Green Ninja Educational Preparatory Super Elementary Fortress 555 (ADGNEPSEF555), which features among other things a sentai team of kids piloting oddly-named and color-coded craft which...

I do a lot of long hauls. Drove 666 miles yesterday, for example. It's honestly part of why I wanted a Tesla. To be perfectly honest, yesterday's drive took me longer than it should have. I could have done it in 11 hours in an ICE, 13 or so in my Model S, per the planner. It took me about 15...

Thanks, everyone! I did contact my Tesla service guy the same day I posted this, and he was able to verify that the car had been parked since my drop-off date. He could not pull GPS data from that day, as it was over a week in the past, so I don't know if it went touring before it was parked...

Is it possible for a user, with Service help, to get data from the "black box"? I don't want to go into too much detail yet, but I have good reason to suspect a Ferris Bueller-style valet parking experience, only with greater effects than a mere odometer change. I have screencapped the car's...

A giant golden gear shift! Seriously, that's cool to hear. :)

Well, that's nice to hear! Particularly as I am, hm, less than stellar at remembering tire rotations, no matter what I drive.

Bad, bad new car owner! I am 120% overdue for my "annual" service (in 6 months of driving) and nearly 300% overdue for my tire rotation. Fortunately my warranty is unaffected by such negligence, and I'm now scheduled for pickup tomorrow. I got curious about an "annual or 12,500 miles" service...

Sorry for the delay! I paid about $1100, which included a 10% discount for talking my friend into taking his car in too. :)
