    2015 Model S P90D Supercharging Issues

    I've also read the Supercharger 'talks' to the onboard charger and then bypasses it. But to be honest, I don't know much about the mechanics of it all, I was just sharing what the Service Center documented in the paperwork and what they pre-diagnosed the problem before we brought the car in for...

    2015 Model S P90D Supercharging Issues

    Turns out the onboard charger was bad. They replaced it and I was able to Supercharger this morning without anxiety. Today was a good day.

    How far from a Service Center?

    We are 2 hours away. They had to keep our car overnight, we were given a rental ICE, not a loaner Tesla

    Purchasing a Used Model S P90D - An Emotional Rollercoaster

    Just an update: we picked the car up from the Service Center. The onboard charger was bad, so they replaced it. Also we were given a new key fob, as the techs at Tesla could not get the one that was not working to work. We also had the taillight replaced and there was some screws added to the...

    2015 Model S P90D Supercharging Issues

    We purchased a used 2015 P90D thru Tesla's used car program. We have had issues getting the car to connect at the Superchargers. For the most part we've had to plug/unplug several times (upwards of 8-10 times) before it will start charging. The charging port changes to solid blue when we insert...

    We only know the 'age' of the Superchargers because they are located in shopping centers we frequent (a lot!) and we watched them being built. Your car looks amazing, congrats!!

    Purchasing a Used Model S P90D - An Emotional Rollercoaster

    I totally appreciate your response and I agree, everything will be okay. I think the charging issue was amplified because we weren't close to home. And it's kind of a pain that we have to go back to Tampa to have the car looked at. But to your point, the charging thing is a major issue and we...

    Purchasing a Used Model S P90D - An Emotional Rollercoaster

    No, the car was not charged to 90% - it was at 198 miles...which by my math is about ~18-20 miles short of a 90% charge (the car only charged to 240 miles at the Ocala Supercharger). I'll have to double check the version the car is running (maybe we are running an out-dated version?). It is...
