    Supercharger - Valleyview, AB

    Anyone know if the station is open yet ? Photo from last post looked like it was ready 12 days ago.

    Supercharger - Valleyview, AB

    Agreed. There are bollards each side of the conduit that seem to be inconsistent with a Tesla SC. Ood that PlugShare would list it as a 250kW TESLA SC although it may have been added by a hopeful Tesla PS user. There were no TESLA (or other) marked crates on site.

    Western Canada Superchargers

    Valleyview, Alberta SC appears to be under construction. The site supervisor said the stations should be open by mid November. Great news for people traveling north to Grand Prairie from Edmonton. (Photos posted with permission from my wife ;))

    Canadian Superchargers now charge per kWh

    $0.48 / kwh seems expensive until you consider the benefit of charge speed and the peak demand utility charges that I assume Tesla has to pay. Residential rates increased from $0.22 to $0.34 / kwh at my home in Alberta over the last 4 months

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    The things I rmiss about owning my 2012 Sig is the Sig Red color and rear wheel drive only with the traction off switch. Most everything else can be upgraded to a point but those 2 are unique and fun. Good luck.

    Firmware 2020.48.x

    Scratch my last post. When a drove again shortly after my post, the lines were definitely there. Interestingly just prior to my post, I was able to turn autopilot ON in snow covered road conditions but with wheel tracks clearly visible. Autopilot has definitely improved to the point where it...

    Winter - excessive battery range reduction...

    My MS LR+ is using a higher percentage of the battery for the heater, which makes sense considering that the motors are more efficient but the heater is not. I assume the battery is still around 100kwh. The reported Wh/ mile remains low but does not reflect the overall battery consumption. So...

    Winter - excessive battery range reduction...

    My trips have been short approx 6 miles but the one time parked outside I was charging well before I left. I didn’t have the cabin heat on but I assume the battery would be warm. Lost 12 miles of range on reaching my destination. Even trips starting from my heat garage are using double the...

    Winter - excessive battery range reduction...

    Interesting finding this thread 2 years later. Seems my experience with range loss on my 2021 Model S LR+ is not new. My 2012 MS performance never lost more than 20% range but this new car can easily lose 50% or more at -18C / -1F. No more Range Mode on the LR+ so I assume the only way to get...

    Firmware 2020.48.x

    Clipper Creek 90 provided 69 amps with 2012 MS dual chargers. I see the LR+ specs indicate 48 Amps. 40A = 20% less. No biggy, just takes longer Road conditions were bare & dry. Auto heating setting is much better than 2012 MS. was set at 70F. Probably should just turn the heat down. I'm...

    Firmware 2020.48.x

    Don't know if it is the new software on my Model S LR+ but 1) Only get 40 Amp charge rate on a 90 Amp circuit ( 208 V ) 2) Use 102 miles range to drive 58 miles @ 0 F deg. Wind not a factor. (too bad range mode is gone) Could the FSD be sucking up all the juice ?

    2021 Model ? only has "Dual Motor" on the passenger side trunk. I honestly don't understand how that is more important than the model if people should ask. Better to have nothing IMHO so I'll have it removed when wrapped.

    I believe so. Factory alignment has been an issue in the past and I understand alignment can go out during shipping depending on how it's secured. Pots holes are a problem around here too but I'm still think a $150 on an alignment is well spent from day one.

    As suspected, alignment was out significantly which explained the early bad tire wear. For $150 it’s worth saving $1500 worth of tires. Should have done this right away after receiving the car.

    2012 Model S Signature Cars

    Makes sense now. Strangely the noise stopped after my battery was drained to 90%. I had forgotten about this, but I believe Telsa recommends to only fully charge the battery just before you leave for a trip. Presumably the running pump would not noticeably lower your range of a longer driving...

    I think you are correct about the pump. Since I first posted, the battery is down 25 miles and I drove 2.8 miles . Usually all systems shut down during a reboot but the sound persisted during my latest reboot attempt this morning. Could it be the BMS cooling pump running on low ? For me it...

    TPMS reset on V10

    I think you are correct !. My original Baolong sensors were about 6 years old. The MaxiTPMS pad did read them after a short period but compared to the new Autel sensors, the reading was immediate and at a greater scan distance.
