Separate names with a comma.
This is not correct. I've been told the actual number was 42, not 27. I own a Model S Founders series that is higher than 27.
That adapter won't help you if you need to plug in to a 6-50 outlet. The 'R' in 6-50R means 'receiver' (i.e. female end). If you need an adapter...
I have a stagger setup with the Hankooks on my P85: 285/30/21 rear, 245/35/21 front. They are not the new 2's as I have had them for about 9...
I couldn't agree more, Apache. This continues to be my only (at least justifiable) beef. A concise email to affected car owners and all service...
This statement (below) is way more broad than what they actually do. You might want to get someone to sign that for you :-) "you would be...
I'll try it with my adapter as soon as I am near a 30A outlet. My car is Aug 4, 2012 so I am guessing it will not work.
I know you were probably just joking anyway but if you are in the desperate position of needing to charge on a 120V outlet, I am guessing that,...
FlasherZ, thanks so much for sharing this information. This sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered. Can't wait to have it done on mine. I...
So 5.9 SC got slower for B packs? Hopefully I'm reading your charts right since you and Bluetinc used exactly opposite axes. Well, if they...
Interesting. I seem to have plenty of clearance with my 21" rims and 285/30 rear tires. What is your offset? Mine is 35mm (if I remember...
Thanks, Zextra. Definitely going to try it as soon as I am ready to upgrade the current set of tires. Nice to see an example of 295s working on...
Back in November I got a stagger setup on my P85 using 21" TSW rims. I started with Hankook tires just so the rubber wouldn't be too expensive...
I respectfully disagree, Gear. It is a negative in the sense that we thought we had the faster charging (including taper) and found out we don't....
I agree that could be more relevant but the statement doesn't even acknowledge the slower taper in older cars. Kind of weird to avoid taking...
OK. Fair point. If that was the point then it is not terribly relevant to the question about whether a particular car can charge at 120kW or...
Oops. Sorry about trying to take credit drees! I guess I missed your post (out of the 800 out there) :smile:. Still interested to see if they...
I didn't ever find a comment that went to the next step on this: 120kW actually does not allow for charging more cars per day. I noticed this...
Conti DWs are definitely quieter than the PS2s but most likely the DWs will still be louder than the 19" tires (not sure about Goodyear's but I...
My point about ambiguity is that Supercharging does not contain a number in its definition. It doesn't specify at that level. I am asserting...
I'm definitely not trying to be disagreeable here. Things don't always come out the same in an email or forum thread as they do in a conversation...
I don't buy this argument and actually think it is strained like many of the other arguments for why Tesla should fix the early owners (I am one...
Your thoughts make sense to me. Overall, I agree that it makes sense to be conservative with the fronts. Getting together sometime to compare...
Why not try PS2s?
SoCal is the best place to have sticky performance tires. They perform well all the time, whereas in cool weather they become very slippery...
There is an industry analogy to this phenomenon. I recently read a report that showed that Apple makes more (gross margin dollars) on flash...
I should also add that I have been using my HPWC for a year now (received mine 12/20/12). In the early days I always charged at 80A and always...
Well said lola. All the fun I have had with my early P85 does not somehow disappear because I don't have 120kW charging. This goes well beyond...
Musterion, great looking setup and one of the best write-ups I have seen. I'm one of those trying to learn how best to enhance the tires/rims and...
Similar experience here. 16.5 months since I took delivery. Just over 18k miles. Just did a max charge and set it to ideal readout to remove as...
I wouldn't count on it. Conti 5Ps, PS2s or PSSs would probably do that. They all have stickier rubber. Contact patch is approximately the same...
Three comments: 1. The 285s change the dynamics with hard cornering. I assume this is more about relative cornering grip between front and rear,...
You honestly have a $90k car and are concerned about how to stage the deployment of $180 in order to maximize your chances of being able to use...
Yea. However, they are producing 2x more cars every week than the total number of cars in the category of 90kW charging 85s. Statistically those...
Definitely agree with this. My friend bought a P85+ about a year after I got my P85. He was complaining about brake noise. I told him to do...
:-) even more fun to drive with a stagger setup! As far as the spin vs no spin under hard acceleration I experience the same as you but I am not...
Yes. I went with 21x9" front, 21x10" rear TSW Nurberbrings for the replacement rims.
I have not experienced that with the Hankooks. Again, I am comparing with stock Conti DWs. My Z06 used to hunt really bad on grooved concrete...
Seems like a pretty lame statement. I value my time a lot more than the cost of electricity. This isn't about the cost of the energy. On the...
Thanks, Kauai! Sounds like your experience is exactly the feedback I was looking for. Definitely "suffering" from the same issue as you with my...
I should also add that I get mild rubbing on the front tires when turning hard while backing up (only in one direction of turning). It never...
I'm happy with my Hankooks (V12). I have 21" 245 front, 285 rear. Performance is great and I would say exceeds that of the Conti DWs they...
I chose a different path to get a 3 wire solution. I just bought a 6-50 extension cord as it only has 3 conductors. Finding a 14-50P to 6-50R...
Interesting. Which Michelin Pilot tires do you have? There are a lot of them.
Thanks, Laurent. It's great to at least get some feedback. Still hoping they supply the 245/35 and 295/30 combo in 21" variety. Would be a...
Same here except mine is 16 months old. I live in the heartland of superchargers and have never actually used one. However, two weeks after the...
Doc, any hint on when the 21" 245/35 and 295/30 are going to be available on your site? They appear on the Michelin site but not on tirerack.com.
I have a staggered 21" setup now on my P85 with 21x10" rear wheels and 21x9" front wheels. As soon as I run through my low cost set of Hankook...
BTW, the Michelin website actually shows the size 245/35/21 for PSS tires. They also show a 295/30/21. Once these two sizes become available...
Dreamin, that new setup really looks outstanding. Sounds like it drives great too. Now you are making me jealous with my 21" staggered setup. I...
More like Stability Control. And (interestingly enough) since stability control uses the braking system it actually would engage ABS to some...
