    Acceleration Shudder

    Have a Tesla X with 35+K miles. Shudder just repaired with new "beefed up" motor mount and two new half shafts in front. Works fine now.

    Acceleration Shudder

    So glad this forum is explaining what I, too, have discovered with my S90d. Got it October 2016 and it currently has just short of 12000 miles. Started noticing it last winter and thought maybe wheels were slipping as they put sand on streets and I had put on snow tires. Just finished a 3,000+...

    POLL: Have you had to have your 12V battery replaced?

    Should add that we had this problem at just over 9,000 miles and 7 months of ownership!!

    POLL: Have you had to have your 12V battery replaced?

    On a road trip to Southern California, battery replace light came on. Screen got very slow to rebuild making navigation more difficult. Dealer in San Diego said they were too busy to replace it "right away" but we could have it done by that evening. We drove to Scottsdale and they were very...

    90D vs P90D acceleration curves

    Oops...Now I'm getting forums mixed up. Monroe refers to new Supercharger station coming on line soon! That's news for us in eastern Washington heading west to Seattle area where there are currently NO Superchargers!! Monroe Washington will be a great plus for us as it's on Highway 2 and only...

    90D vs P90D acceleration curves

    Thanks! Yes, the actual "range" just has to be experienced over time/conditions. Now I'm wondering if the newer and slightly larger iteration of the Tesla/Panasonic battery cells will be extending range...maybe recharge and discharge rate capabilities, too?? But this is probably for a...

    90D vs P90D acceleration curves

    Enjoyed your post. I certainly concur on range drop during winter. Using snow tires with heater on, seats on and (premium) sound going my range drops considerably. Going over mountain pass eats miles at about a 2/1 ratio going up but range stays nearly unchanged (gaining very few at best)...

    70D vs. 90D Speed Regrets?

    Ha! You've got a point there. I was in the passenger seat the other day while I let someone else drive the car (not my wife). I remember spontaneously saying "holy s..." when he punched it at about 30mph. Passenger seat "feels" different for sure!! (I prefer driving!!)

    Unfortunately I am only reflecting comments from others. I'll see if I can visit with management here in east Wenatchee at Fred Meyers to see if they know anything. Am pleased with Superchargers "expansion" for sure!

    Very happy about Monroe location as I live in east Wenatchee and make frequent trips to Seattle. This will make that trek just great!!! Looking forward to charging at Fred Meyers here in east Wenatchee when that becomes available, too! Go Tesla Superchargers!!!
