I have/had a Gen 1 Hi Speed Wall Charger 80 Amp output at my house. My 2020 Model S didn't work with the Gen 1 Hi Speed Wall Charger. I installed a Tesla Gen III Hi Speed Wall charger (48 Amps.) However, I did some research.....and the 80 Amp Gen I wall charger will work. You have to open...

Hi all. I have a Model S with 127,000 miles on it (serial #810 Signature 2012). I live in Michigan, and we arguably have the worse possible roads with an endless number of potholes and where there are no potholes-- there are craters!!! I drive approximately 18-20 K miles per year. Amazingly...

I have an original Signature Model S P85 Serial #810 with 127,000 miles. I have lost 10% rated range when fully charged (238 miles compared to 265 when new). I have ordered another Model S LR 2020. The original MS was rated at 265 miles, while the new MS will be 373 miles rated!! Quite...

I have a Signature P85. I drive mostly on freeways at higher speed than 67. I don't hear any noise. However, I have heard a few model S owners had issues with noise and front end suspension (I experienced front end clicking noise). The problems were taken care by Tesla Service.

I have a P85 (#810). My average watts per mile on a highway trip is between 270 and 310 depending on speed. Your averages seem a bit high. However, you shouldn't have a problem when the super charging network is in place by next year.

I own a Model S Signature Performance (#810). I drive an average of 50 miles per day, and on a few occasions each month hit 120 - 150 miles per day. I would highly recommend a NEMA 14-50 outlet. This is 240 V at 50 Amps. The car will draw 40 Amps. It will charge at a rate of 28 miles per...

Use the "auto present" feature to minimize contact with the door handle.

It wouldn't matter whether you charge at either 5-6 PM or midnight since the state of charge is the same (40%) as you indicated. It is best not to exceed 1xC (one x capacity) when charging. This translates to NEMA 14-50 (240V x 50 A x 0.80) to 9.6 KW / hour. The HPWC is 240V x 100A x...

It wouldn't matter whether you charged you car at 5-6 PM or 12 Midnight since the SOC is 40% at either time. The charge rate does affect battery life. Typically charging should not be done above 1C (One time the Capacity of the Battery). Some engineers feel that 0.7C is better for battery...

The battery life of a Lithium ion battery depends on several variables. Among these variables are temperature (both operating and storage), Charging rate and depth of charging as well as state of charge (% of capacity to which the battery is charged) during charge cycles. As well as State of...

I insured my Model S Performance with two additional cars and my home with the Model S cost of the policy approximately $1,500.00 per year. I am in Michigan. Insured through Encompass.
