    Moving to Michigan

    So i emailed tesla about the Ranger service (not that i didn't believe what was posted, just wanted to confirm period moving to MI but the service agreement) and got this response Is there a local contact i can reach out to confirm this with? I've had conflicting info from Tesla before.

    Thanks for the responses!

    Moving to Michigan

    My family is considering a move to Grand Rapids to be closer to family, and I know due to the dealership issues in Michigan Tesla doesn't have any service centers. I was curious what other owners are currently doing to get the car serviced etc. Drive your car to out of state service centers...

    S40 Max range change with SW 6.2 (2.4.239)?

    Yeah, I'm seeing the same exact thing. I put it on the list for service to look at my 25k mile appointment in a couple weeks

    Routing suggestions are laughably bad, at least in LA traffic.

    I'm not sure what's going on the new navigation system, but it's routing suggestions are terrible. No matter what, it sends me on the same route down packed highways in the Seattle area. It even suggested I take a freeway exit to immediately reenter the freeway yesterday. I wish they'd just...

    Shuffling Songs via the USB

    I have to say, not having shuffle is incredibly silly. I work in software development - it's not that complicated, but as you say it's about prioritization.

    Model S Is An Awful Muddin' Vehicle. But Great for Digging In The Mud.

    And where might you get that? The manufacturer website is less than useful, and search engines find nothing.

    For those owners unhappy with drop in maximum charged range

    I've also seen some decrease in range on my 40, from 144 when I first got it down to about 131 or so now. Last time I was at Bellevue SC they had engineering take a look and they said it was operating okay now but to keep an eye on it.

    Graco FastAction Travel System stroller fits (if you take off the drink holder bar, I have the old bigger frunk):

    Want to hear from the 40kwh owners.

    Yeah, very happy with my 40, like others it's my daily driver. No concerns for range for me, I have a roundtrip of about 40 miles a day. I've talked about this on other 40 threads, but the price for upgrading is to steep given what I'd get back for it.

    Is Tesla bringing back the 40 kWh?

    I don't think supercharging was ever available on the 40, at the very least it's not available on the "40"'s that are out in the wild now (have to upgrade to 60 before you can turn on the supercharging hardware).

    How To Handle Friends/Relatives Who Bring Up The Tesla Fire

    Firmware 4.5

    Just a follow up to my issues - I ended up calling the local service center in Bellevue, and Maddy was able to get one of the engineers at Tesla to resolve it remotely. Car is back to normal

    Firmware 4.5

    got .61 last night (apparently, I had to check via the Rest API to see what was intalled), but something weird happened - when I went out to my car this morning and got in, the center screen stayed black. So after waiting a minute, I rebooted the center screen. When it came back, AC and music...

    Weirdest "admirer" experiences?

    It's about peoples stories of other people admiring their Model S, actually. and I happened to kick it off with my own story. As I said, whatever :)

    Weirdest "admirer" experiences?

    No clue, I was down in Renton but even down there I see a couple a week. Also, Mods, how is this Off Topic? The "Is that a jaguar" topic has been in that forum for like a week, yet this somehow gets moved. Whatever....

    Weirdest "admirer" experiences?

    Anybody else had weird experiences where people chase them down/go out of their way to talk/ask about their Model S? Today I had a woman jump out of her car in the Starbucks drive through and come and knock on my front passenger window to gush about how she was a stock holder and thought the car...

    Is there a way to get HomeLink to work for condo gates ?

    Had no problem programming Homelink to work with the gate at our place - didn't even request to have any buttons on the control box pressed.

    Horrible Service - 4 Service Trips No Fix Auto Present Door Handles

    Yeah, Maddy is awesome, as is the Bellevue Service Center. Maddy went out of her way to call me personally on the day they announced the recall to inform me my car was impacted, and to setup an appointment to get it fixed.

    Gas v. Electric Justification --- Accounting for road taxes

    Depends on where you live, but nowhere in the US has taxes as low as 20c/g: Wiki article for taxes by state. National average is 48.8c/g, lowest being 26.4c/g in Alaska and highest being 69c/g in New York. With the national Average of regular gallon of gas being ~$3.48, it's at about 14% tax...

    40K Owners, are you upgrading?

    Yeah, no need for me. I've never dropped below 70 rated range after a full day of driving.

    Unofficial windows phone app

    Has anybody else noticed weirdness when venting the pano roof using this app? Sometimes the roof will pop open, and then immediately reclose (or the reverse if already open). I've never experienced the issue actually in the car - it only seems to occur with the app. I need to test direct calls...

    Partial Recall announced on blog for Model S

    It took me like, 3 minutes to arrange it. The service center actually proactively called me as well (apparently they didn't notice I had already made an appointment 2 hours earlier). Car went in Friday, but the necessary changes had already been done at the factory, so I got the car back within...

    Refreshing Traffic

    Yeah this is the behavior I'm seeing - all green if zoomed out far enough. I resolved this by zooming out to the maximum that still includes traffic detail, then going to full screen on the nav. It's just big enough it shows my entire route. Not ideal. Given other descriptions I have a feeling...

    40 K's Upgrade to 60?

    Took Delivery on 5/25. I got an email yesterday and then a phone call from Seattle Service Center later in the day to inform me. Oh and yeah, I'm not upgrading either. In the month I've had it, I've gone below 90 rated range maybe twice in a days worth of driving. I have charging stations at...

    Model S REST API

    Possible I guess, but in my testing it's not as simple as "once off stays off" - my temp readings seem to come and go throughout the day, with no interaction from me other than querying the state of the car.

    Model S REST API

    Well, good that it's not just my car, annoying that it's a bug. Anybody reported it yet? And is there a good way to report this kind of issue, or just general emails to ownership?

    Model S REST API

    Has anyone else noticed the REST api not returning data from a climate_state call with their car? It seems if my car sits for a while it will stop returning this data (it occurs both with ahimberg's Win Phone app, and via direct PowerShell calls to the API). Doing a call to turn AC on will cause...

    New Vanilla Tesla Temporary Paper License Plate Replaces Zero Emissions

    Heh, I forgot to ask when picking my 40 up. No frame, no paper plate on mine.

    40 K's Upgrade to 60?

    Don't see myself upgrading - since the 40 has no battery degradation issues with getting charged to the limit, the 60 only has about 40 more miles of range than a 40. That's not really worth $11k. About the only reason I would upgrade is for supercharger access, but none of those up here (yet)...

    CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

    Oh definitely - lots of factors play into it. I'm sure that fact that I was in a garage with temp in the 60's, with the outlet I was using on the opposite wall from the main panel helped a great deal. Still, you can get more than 2mph with a normal outlet :)
  45. B

    CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

    2mph? When I've had to use a normal outlet my S says 3.7mph when charging. It's terrible, but not as terrible as you're suggesting.

    Clarity on WHEN one actually pays Tesla the big bucks when buying a Model S?

    Mine was $1,170.00 - which doesn't help you as I'm in Washington :)

    Clarity on WHEN one actually pays Tesla the big bucks when buying a Model S?

    It's not listed as Delivery Charge anymore, it's listed as "Destination and Regulatory Doc Fee" on my MVPA. And yes you pay it whether you pick it up in Fremont or...well they don't really do deliveries anymore unless you live far away from a service center.

    Clarity on WHEN one actually pays Tesla the big bucks when buying a Model S?

    Yeah once you sign the final paperwork they send you a mail with a link to a page on their site where you can wire in whatever cash you're going to use for the sale. Anything left is expected in a check at delivery.
