Not so much that I can't drive the s in the snow, but I have a hospital job. May have to leave home in dead blizzard. Need 4x4. I think rental is way.

So I have my model s-my only car right now. And it is perfect for me, even if I need to go on long trip. (wife has van if really need to travel far off beaten path). Anyway, my concern is winter. When I say winter I mean blizzards. My plan was to by an old car/truck with awd or 4x4 for...

Amped, that makes sense as my button looks damaged... getting new one. I took inventory car and charger was always a bit beat up... but didn't want to be a complainer,well...nowitsa new one!

Just happened. This one didn't reduce the amp limit. Stayed at 40. Charger issue: Charger issue - YouTube

All was good until I was at a supercharger a few days ago. Put it in and all was fine. After finishing, I couldn't release the supercharger plug despite the white ring. My body tried and got it out. He said he had to wiggle it a bit. Is wiggling a no no? Did that bend components now causing...

Update, after such clicking sometimes my charge current limit auto drops to 30 and I have to change it back to 40!

I'm getting it tonight too. Notice that when this happens and I finally get it to charge, only charges at 22 mi/hr. Usually 30. Hmmm. Started screwing around with the way I open port ie:via controls or battery icon. Door open/close. Can't find pattern. Btw-look at speedometer when you hear...

It is an intermittent problem. Not sure if it's normal, the cable or the port in the car

Hmmm, Just jumped in my model s and driver side rear mirror stayed folded in. I got out and it seemed loose? I then closed door and locked car, then reopened door and all is good again. Any ideas?

Anyone ever of in at home and the car makes the charge port unlock clicking noise after plugging in... Like click (turns red), click (turns blue), click turns white. All without touching charger. Finally unplugged from wall and then resolved. Weird.

Buddy got it on his new p85. They told him it was a "glitch" and now it's back

Just watched video I posted. Really can't hear it. It's like a new tone that appears on top of the electric sound.

So, after driving my buddies Tesla (identical car- both p85). There is a difference. Both cars have that electric tone as you gun it, but mine has a bell like soft whistle at high high power. Listen carefully to hear it on this video (sounds more profound live) Not sure if the jet sound...

The crazy thing is that after a month, the take off of this car becomes "normal" and I started to think I lost some zip. Hahaha

Also noticed that 95% of the cars thrust is in the first 75% of the pedal push, from 75-100% (when I hear the 'jet noise") not much difference in acceleration. You guys notice this too?

Omg. I just watched first 5 minutes of part 1(of 4) of the junk man's 2 bucket car wash technique. I'd sooner take the model s and drive it on the beach than deal with that. Hahahaha. Sorry I complained about my swirls. As another poster mentioned, will wax fix that?

At least I have that going for me. Habah

They did detail it. Was perfect. This is all my work

Thanks Steve. Love car. Pita to hand wash. Hahah

So got my new model s. Freaked to take to car wash for fear of scratching/damage. So did a hand wash. Used microfiber car cloths (the good ones) . Look at result. Hahaha. Spider Web looking scratches everywhere. Any advice? Can I get rid of em or is it just the soft paint everyone talks of...

Lol

So, I think when you regen, your break lights come on? Saw some red shadows when experimenting in dark, lol. Would be unsafe if not. Right?

Sorry if I made a repetitive thread

Never noticed it since 5.9

Hmmmm, since 5.9 I notice a motor sound for 5 seconds after exiting car. Anyone else?

Hey guys, So I went from a 4wd truck to a model s. And live it. Live in NY in burbs, and have a job where I do need to leave the house to drive even if bad snow storm. Winter should be done , but when I got the model s I initially planned on getting a used clunker truck or awd car for snow...

I had another one the other day. I pulled into a crowded gas station near the store (was a 7-11 type store). Guy next to me as I left my model s says kinda sarcastically, "huh.... I thought those Tesla cars didn't need gas....". I looked at him and said, "ya buddy, here to get some ice" When...

Hahaha. Makes me feel better. I probably did it a few times already and hadn't noticed. Amazing how I didn't even feel it. When I backed up I felt it drop a touch.

Guys, Anyone pull up a tad to close to a curb or a a parking block and scrape the black plastic undercarriage under the nose. Just did it . Pulled up so slow and the parking sensor told me I had 10 more inches. Didn't even feel it. When I got out and saw I was on the curb I backed out...

Hahaha. I'm sure it's normal. I ask so many questions here as just not many of us. No where to compare with. Just a high tone while flooring it it (yeah I do it a lot)

P85 noise: P85 noise - YouTube Can hear it for split second. On Highway I can get the tone to last a while. Didn't wanna kill myself.

Have a performance 85. When radio off and I gun it, at high power consumption I get a soft tone noise in cabin. Video shows it (sounds a bit louder in real life) Unsure if it existed when I got car as music usually blasting. Lol Will link to YouTube in few

I am still on the 5.89 (whatever is before 5.9) and wondering if I'm in the minority of not getting 5.9 upgrade yet.

Guys, Any differences getting a car wash with model s? Do you have to stay in the car? Does the water spraying the battery do anything. Likely dumb question. Lol as driving in the rain is worse I'm sure.

Hahah. Like many Tesla owners. Ocd

Wow, you now have a larger black area of the screen showing in the top. Between the screen and the dash in the top

Thanks

Heading to an area of nj with only Nissan dealerships and some charge points. I have a charge point account but cards didn't come yet. Can unused charge point without the card?

Ironically its perfect on the bottom and the sides. Either top left of dash not down enough, or the top right down to much. Like I said the dash above screen has a touch of movement to it.

Car is great. My big screen is perfect on all edges except the top. I may be nitpicking, but the top left corner is a touch off (can see a mm of black before top dash). Of note my dash above screen has a bit of a bounce to it (tiny) See pic

Hmm. My Bluetooth was on!

Saw some similar complaints in old posts, but no answers. Anyone experience a rare yet intermittent buzz/static sound seems to be from under the dash, specifically near the speedometer. Sounds like a soft bee hive. Can't seem to reproduce it. Had car 3 weeks, happened maybe 4-5 times. When...

Thanks for confirming the whip. I thought I busted the motor trying to use them to push heavy snow off (they stopped as couldn't push the snow)

Snow car.

Been drinking in Tesla for 1 week straight. I must be getting used to it. Today it snowed a lot surprisingly! I jumped in my Ford Explorer parked in the street. Put it in drive and at first thought I was in M as the thing barely moved. Then I almost killed myself drivinf right into an...

New Model S- dealt with snow today. After the snow melted I ran wipers and noticed that they don't move smoothly back and forth but instead the speed of the wipers kind of whips. Is this normal? I'm sure it is, just did not notice it before.

Excellent

Did you charge it full just for the experiment? I've only done that once

Philly hate to say it but "whew", I'm getting the same in ny! I thought something was wrong . Hard to crack 400.

Thanks gldoc we are identical
