    Used 2018 Model X Getting Nervous! Should I Be?

    I had the opposite experience. Placed the $500 deposit on a 2018 MS described as having no accident history and flew to Socal (Irvine) to pick up the car. No pics were available before purchase. Immediately noticed that the color of the rear bumper appeared off, but I attributed it to the...

    shuddering/rattling from rear

    Hi, my 2018 S100D (pre-raven) has developed a shuddering/rattling/vibrating/grating sound in the undercarriage. Most notably this happens on uneven road surfaces at about 30mph, especially going over speed bumps. It seems to be coming from around the rear passenger wheel well (sound is not...

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    Car was in service for a week. I had to wait over 4 hours for a loaner since the Dublin, CA service center (one of the busiest SCs in the US) only had 20 in their fleet. The engineer was onsite. I did charge it to 100% last night and the range is now showing 265 miles. Unfortunately, it appears...

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    Just got the car back. They swapped in a new midrange (60kWh) HV battery pack. Engineer confirmed that it was an issue with the wirebonding in the old battery pack.

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    Service center states they've ordered the replacement HV battery pack. If the midrange battery has ceased production, will they install an LR battery pack and place a software limiter on it? I thought the LR (single motor) M3 had a different onboard charger as well (32A vs. 48A). I just hope...

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    Now I'm completely unable to charge. I guess either it's coincidence that the battery fault has come to a head, or someone remotely shut down my ability to charge due to safety concerns? Anyways, I called Tesla and they offered to tow my car to the service center on Monday. We'll see how it goes.

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    So just now I got a notification on the screen stating "Battery cannot charge to 100%. Contact Tesla Service" I emailed Tesla this AM about escalating the issue to executive management. I wonder if they did some more remote diagnostics and found some battery wiring fault?

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    So this morning after charging the battery from 5% to 100%, the range now shows 216 miles. I have no clue what's going on, but the Tesla rep that I've been in contact with continues to make excuses including asserting that driving behaviors influence the range, etc (which as I understand it is...

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    First thing I checked actually... it does still show the mid-range logo. I asked the service tech whether there is a software limitation affecting the range and he stated 'no'.

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    That's what I have been doing for several months now. I leave it connected to the 240V charger nightly and charge to around 80% for my daily commute of 50 miles (all highway). I understand your reasoning in the analogy provided, but it seems that most people online are complaining of a 5 to 10...

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    Unfortunately I don't have a third party tracker to delineate when the loss of range occurred, but at delivery it was showing 260 miles. Spoke to Tesla yesterday and got another service appointment; they promised an "engineer" would look at the car.

    Range on midrange reduced to 219 miles

    Hi, the estimated range on my midrange model 3 has dropped to 219 miles at 100% charge. Average wh/mi since taking delivery has been 240. 7800 miles on the odometer since 11/2018. Brought this issue up during multiple service visits and got the same answer over and over again: it's just an...
