    FSD 11.4.x experiences

    I'm not a regular on this forum, but wanted to post my current - rather significant - problem with FSD. I am up to date on the beta, I think 11.4. I travel certain routes regularly and use FSD to negotiate city streets and freeways in the process. When I have a navigate route established, the...

    Concerned about battery degradation and "vampire" charging in Arizona during summer.

    I'm still subscribed to this post because I am curious and interested but due to the lack of a SC station and the lack of an announced schedule, I decided against the purchase of a Tesla and have changed course. I am still rooting for Tesla and might get interested in a future version when long...

    Concerned about battery degradation and "vampire" charging in Arizona during summer.

    Rem: Are you an owner now? But regarding your comment, I am an engineer (actually, a physicist, but my career was more like an EE) but I'm not a battery expert. I hope and expect that Tesla has really good, deep insight into the existing battery chemistry and capabilities and when we are told...

    Concerned about battery degradation and "vampire" charging in Arizona during summer.

    Yes, I looked at the chart on GoElectric that shows range vs speed and if my 55 mph range with A/C is 284 miles, the range at 85 or so will be less than 200 miles, and that is at 90 degrees ambient. But it seems from the forum that actually getting a full charge is complicated. However for my...

    Concerned about battery degradation and "vampire" charging in Arizona during summer.

    Thanks for the replies to my questions. And I had not visited the "goelectric" tab recently with the estimates of range for various conditions - that was very interesting. I note that the dials only allowed ambient temperatures up to 90 degrees - what about 115-120 degrees! I drive from the...

    Concerned about battery degradation and "vampire" charging in Arizona during summer.

    In the Phoenix area the low temperatures in July, August can be 90 degrees. The battery is supposed to be actively cooled - does this mean that a Tesla parked in a garage will be running its refrigeration cycle 24 hrs a day to maintain a 75 degree or thereabouts temperature? What energy...
