    90D Range slowly declining

    Thought I would provide an update that my decline has continued on. My new morning 90% charge for the last two or three days has been 228-230. I am now convinced that degradation rate of 90 battery is faster than than 85. I will be raising again with service department when I take car in Friday...

    Seats ticking?

    Update: when I have kids in the back seat directly behind drivers seat it does not make the noise which leads me to believe that it is not a front seat issue, but rather a back seat issue. If I have kids in the middle back or passenger back, it still makes the noise. Appointment with service in...

    Seats ticking?

    Same exact issue as OP. My car is only two months old with 1,000 miles. Started to notice it about three weeks ago and has reached the point of driving me crazy. Comes under acceleration or deceleration. Also over bumps. Will be taking mine into the service center soon. Glad to hear they...

    90D Range slowly declining

    First, thanks for all the feedback. I was getting 241 originally for about two days and then the creep down began...240, 238, 236, 235, etc. Brought the car home on September 29th. We are at November 11th and down to 233 or 8 miles of rated range loss. Losing just under 2 miles a week. I have...

    90D Range slowly declining

    Thought I would update. Hit a new low of 233 this week so I decided to call service. They "downloaded some data on my battery performance" (whatever that means) and said that it is operating totally within spec. They also said that (1) rated range IS affected by temperature and as it is getting...

    auto parellel parking - nothing happens after pressing "start" - anyone?

    Live in Chicago so parallel parking is a way of life here. My first few outings, I had trouble getting the "P" but since then it has worked flawlessly. Yesterday, I even pulled up slowly a second car in front of the spot to move out of the way and it held the "P" and worked - in other words...

    90D Range slowly declining

    Thanks to both. Of course. Now I feel totally stupid. Totally forgot about the 90 vs. P90. Makes perfect sense and math works. So only remaining question is why the degradation over less than one month of ownership. May just call Tesla service to ask. I know a lot of folks say it is...

    90D Range slowly declining

    So here is a question for the group! I am experiencing same as original poster but I started much lower. P90D delivered September 29th with 90% charge of 241. I am at 235 in a month. Still, I started much lower than these other P90D owners. Anybody know what the acceptable variation is and...

    Firmware 7.0

    I am pretty sure the car turns blue when the auto pilot is actually using the vehicle to determine drive path. That is totally a guess based on what I saw.

    Firmware 7.0

    Just used auto pilot in Chicago and was so amazed, I thought I would try to add a couple of observations for everyone that I have not seen in the thread (but admit I didn't read all 48 pages!) and will leave out what I have already seen elsewhere: First, this may seem pretty obvious to some...

    Firmware 7.0

    Not sure anyone cares at this point but P90D, delivered 9/29/15, Chicago, IL, not hooked to wifi so over LTE, received update notification via iPhone at 2PM, started upgrade at 2:15PM, competed notification 3:45PM, all times Central Time.

    Vendor T Sportline 19" TST Wheels For Sale Tesla Model S

    May I ask how long that may be? When would you expect to be able to make first deliveries of the 20" wheels? Need some winter wheels and tires but would definitely prefer 20s to the 19s. Thanks!:biggrin:

    What's your 90%?

    New P90DL is 240 or 241 depending on the day at 90%. 320 miles on the car.

    Is Ludicrous Mode for regular driving? Impact on battery usage?

    Totally agree. Been driving my P90DL in Ludi mode for most of first week and it is totally tuned to how much I push the accelerator (I almost said "push the gas pedal" - still getting used to this all electric world). In fact, I would argue that sport vs Ludi is almost imperceptible UNLESS I...

    Is Ludicrous Mode for regular driving? Impact on battery usage?

    Now that is funny! Thanks for that clarification. Any insight on difference between ludicrous and ludicrous with max battery power setting? Speed? Impact on battery? Do people drive around with max battery power all the time or I assume they only condition the battery for max power when...
