    engine buzz?

    I've had my S85 for a little over a year, and about have about 13,500 miles on it. Recently my engine has started making a buzzing sound, which sounds very similar to a cicada bug. It happens regularly, and is most noticeable at low speeds during light acceleration....like in a parking lot or...

    anyone ever extended their UMC?

    I'm thinking about having this done....and just wanted to see if others have tried. I'm planning on having 30 feet added,,,making 50 feet total. The extra length has amperage/volt loss issues, so it was recommended that the extended cord should not charge above 24A. I have 2 cords BTW.....the...

    Anyone else had this problem? Each time I log in to the app...it warns me to switch off of range charge. Each time I make this change, no problem. I check the console in the car and charging % looks as expected. I then check the app, and it again warns me to switch from range mode....and...

    planning a trip....elevation changes

    So I'd like to take my S from Glen Allen VA....to Smith Mtn Lake. The shortest route is about 150 miles, which is fine.....but it is definitely up and down some hilly areas, and involves a good amount of stop lights for the first hour or so. I know those factors can hamper mileage pretty...

    14-50 adapters vs multiple extension cords

    So maybe I'm thinking about this incorrectly....so please help me out. I've been researching extension cords....and stumbled upon the 14-50 adapters. Apparently you can just get 1 extension cord for the 14-50 and just get multiple adapters to all sorts of outlets. They basically just make any...

    Hello all, So my 5 year old daughter loves to jump into the front seat of my SUV (no model S,,,yet)..and pretend like she's driving.
