So it’s generally known that high temperatures can drastically reduce a rechargeable battery’s “max cycle” count. With the recent heat wave and temps easily exceeding 110 F continuously for over three weeks (and more to come), is there any reason to be optimistic that the powerwalls installed...

More zoom causes more data download?

I was not even aware that the model S has a phone key. Are you sure you are not getting that option because you may also be owning a 3/Y ?

Why did Tesla decide to not make this available to all the pre 2021 refresh Model S/X ? At least to those with MCU 2 and FSD computer 3.0??? Is it because they are some of the initial Tesla owners and the ones with lifetime premium connectivity?

Good to know you can do without the KW markings. For many others, there is a life between 0 and 100 though!

Imagine a tachometer in an ICE without the rpm markings’

Since the refresh MS does not have an energy graph, they are making the graph less useful on the older cars to avoid the refresh models from appearing feature gimped.

Thank you both! Whew!

2017 Model S here. Please see the attached picture to understand what I’m talking about. The numbers indicating the power have vanished.l from that gauge. This happened recently. Perhaps after a software update. I did upgrade my MCU a month back but the problem was not there at that time after...

Can someone please point out where in the warranty is it mentioned that NVH issues would only be covered for the first 12,000 miles? I read through the warranty and don’t see that. I have a 2017 Model S. Did they introduce this change after 2017? If so, should the original warranty, during...

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve gone through this entire thread and also got a good feel for those who are and aren’t in favor of Tesla ripping off their customers by charging this fees. To them, unless they are posturing, I have one message - don’t be a doormat- demand more in life and stand up...

Oh wow. I did not realize that. Thanks!

Can you clarify what you mean by come with HW 3.0 FSD? I have a late 2017 S (AP 2.5) and don’t think it has the HW 3.0 FSD.. I believe if I pay $5000 for the FSD upgrade then Tesla would upgrade my FSD computer to 3.0. Is that not right?

How many tons are the two ACs and what are their seer ratings? How many kw is your solar panel? Assuming your total tonnage is about 7 and you have a relatively modern AC, when the AC runs you may consume about 8KW of power. If you pre cool the home before peak hours and bump the temperature up...

Has anyone placed powerwalls inside their homes? Per Tesla if these are installed in environment where average temps are higher than 86 degrees then it could affect longevity and performance. Problem is that since these are relatively new, we still won’t have data wrt longevity while placed...
