My problem was app/software related. My car was barely losing a mile a day to vampire drain so it would have been months to drain the main battery or the 12 volt battery. If your 12V is original from 2017 I suspect that is your problem. It's at least 5 years old so time for it to die. It's...

I have no idea what is going on. Last night I checked to see if the charging would magically start as scheduled. The battery was down to 46% with the charge limit supposedly set to 50% (the battery/charge slider no longer shows in the app). No charge was started. This morning I switched off...

To your last point. Yes. I stupidly let an update install while I was away. After 3 years with the car and Tesla's software updates you would think I would have known better. The other issue is that I don't have the slider on the app to adjust the charge level so I can't initiate a charge...

None of the other systems at the house that I can remotely monitor have had a power interruption but it's possible as it is a dedicated breaker for the EVSE. The picture on the app shows a green cable to the car and the charge port is red. I would think if there was no power from the EVSE the...

I'm away. Left the car plugged in as usual with charging set to keep the battery at 50%. Always maintained the battery charge level in the past. This time it topped off the battery once and all seemed fine. Since the most recent software update to the car (2022.44.2) the car hasn't charged. My...

I just posted my lifetime consumption. Still improving. Down to 269 Wh/mi. I am not aggressive but don't exactly live in the right lane drafting trucks.

At the 3 year mark. Efficiency continues to improve with no real change in driving habits. 40% around town at whatever speeds traffic is flowing. Highway usually between 70 and 75 mph. Zero problems, great highway cruiser, tons of interior space, still as quick as ever, and really rather...

Please post the alignment results when you get it done. Something is off somewhere. You got 1/3 the tread life I expect to get, with pretty much identical cars.

Duh. (Sorry, sarcasm was genetically encoded). Booked a service appointment but even though they contacted me about it I get no information as to whether it's a legit fault or the car just letting me know ABS was necessary and activated. Thought maybe a forum member had dealt with this.

2020 Model S Performance w/ 19" wheels. Original Michelin SP4 tires with at least half tread. I can induce a brake system warning message on the instrument cluster any time I want if I brake hard enough (with cold brakes or after deliberately warming them up a little). "Reduced braking...

That is some pretty even tire wear. I can't see any cupping, odd wear pattern or inside vs outside wear that would indicate an alignment problem. Doesn't look like over or under inflated. Seems like we have identical cars and I should get an easy 30,000 miles from my PS4, so long(ish) tread life...

I'm highly suspicious of rear end damage. The sheet metal on the left side lens could not have left the factory looking like that. If it did Tesla is doomed now that there is competition starting to roll out. And paint runs, ill fitting panels, paint nibs,... aren't acceptable on any car. Price...

Get it aligned. Same tire on 19" wheels, Raven performance. I'm just over 21,00 miles and I would estimate another 10,000 before the tread gets low enough to be a problem in the rain (5/32" remaining). I rotated once and it was not necessary. Very even wear front versus rear. Love the steering...

Check out Myers Tire Supply for excellent tire repair tools and supplies. I used them when in the repair business but I'm pretty sure they will sell to anyone. Not necessarily cheap but pro grade and made to stand up to repeated use. A little extra money spent so you don't wind up with a bent...

Decent color. Matte finish? That's a no-go. I need shine. Blind you in bright sun gloss.

I'm partial to red. Check out the metallic red Mazda is using the past year or so. Deep color, looks good in different lighting, very high gloss/shine. Lexus also does one quite similar. Either are what I wish my factory red looked like. Both have more visual interest and impact. Won't be so far...

Something is different on your software version. My 2020 MS shows the "old" battery graphic with a slider under it, located at the very top of essentially the same screen as in your post.

I turned the disk with a channel lock pliers. A little awkward but probably less involved than removing the e-brake motor. Maybe not, and I'll certainly investigate that option next time the brakes are due to be cleaned and lubed.

On my car (2020, single piston, integrated parking brake) the rear caliper has to be rotated to compress. Pressure will not work. I have a kit with various "disks" to fit screw down pistons. The cover you reference made it impossible to use it as designed but it is possible to lock onto the...

I was averaging 330+ Wh/m until some time in early 2020. I can't prove it but I swear a software update changed something. My efficiency took a sudden turn for the better. Performance was unchanged (according to Dragy). I do make an effort to be efficient but traffic is traffic and there is only...

Two year mark. Efficiency improved substantially over the second year/10,000 miles. Several 2,000 mile trips going along with traffic, usually in the 70 to 75 mph range. Pretty sane driving habits, but not shy about enjoying the torque.

Part of the missing piece could be that ABRP has the software for your car as "alpha" so all the assumptions they are using are still being refined. My 2020 is still shown as a "beta" version. Also, if you haven't, click on "settings" and then "detailed" to enter specifics for the way you drive...

Your battery has certainly degraded to some extent and there is part of the battery capacity that serves as a buffer and is not accessible for driving. So you are not accurate in saying that you used 69kWh. You used 69% of available capacity, according to the car. What is your...

Is this your usual Wh consumption? I seems like something is wrong, like a seized caliper? I just finished a 3,400 mile road trip (the first long trip - thank you covid) from NJ to FL, around FL and back to NJ. Route 95 down and back driving with traffic or with the cruise set to 74. Consumption...

You almost certainly have lost some rated/displayed range. Some battery degradation is inevitable and yours was probably "masked" by the switch to the SlipStreams. Lots of threads on this topic. My 2020 MS P has lost just over 2% of rated range from delivery. Most of that was in the first year...

Not 100% certain, but from how it appears in the picture something was trapped between the hub and the rotor. All the cracks radiate outward from one point and the cracks are wider at that "center" point. Entirely possible the rotor was machined incorrectly but more likely some small foreign...

I got mine the same month you did but I suspect that has nothing to do with the problem. I found 3 things contributing to the wipers juddering and skipping so badly that driving in the rain was borderline dangerous. I did not have issues with the spray pattern. The first was that the windshield...

@2madcal you might want to see if Tesla can do an over the air check on your car. My car matches yours - October 2019 build, Performance. I have 19" wheels versus maybe 21's on yours? Our driving habits seem identical. Either on the highway averaging 75 mph or in town running errands. No rush...

Can't be a drop bear, there are no claws or fangs and Elon would never allow something vicious to leave the factory. Or would he?

Seriously? Taking your design cues for the yoke from a Koala?

Why is his mouth hanging open like he's out of breath? Just no.

I don't hate the changes that I see on my model S, but I'm certainly not a fan. Common conjecture seems to be that the re-configuring is to allow more/better FSD visualization. Why does the driver need this? For true FSD the car needs it for sure, but as the driver I need to know what the car is...

#1: Your car seem quite normal. If you are driving the car every day it is not going into full sleep very long so losing 1Kwh per day in vampire drain is normal. Your Wh/mile pretty much accounts for the remaining energy usage. Your car started with something on the order of 95Kwh available in a...

I have almost no idea why your service center would not recommend the PS4. They were factory installed on my 2020 MS P. Australia vs. USA and what gets shipped? Glad you like them. That confirms my impression of the tires. Handles the weight of the car very well. Certainly not all weather tires...

If fit and finish are a large part of your purchase decision I am afraid you will not be satisfied. My 2020 MS had nothing worth rejecting it for but there are disappointingly large panel gaps and multiple paint problems. There are many reports confirming the continuing variable nature of...

Hit the one year anniversary today. A decent amount of utilizing the torque available. Highway speeds relatively sane - usually mid 70's. No snow driving that would kill the efficiency. 287 Wh/mi is better than I expected and right at the EPA rating. I'm pretty happy with how efficient the car...

Sorry but it is there. OP asked if anyone had "experience with these tires". You chose to opine on Vredestein, which you have no experience with. They are in fact a long established manufacturer and make excellent tires (their snow tires are almost legendary). Your contribution wasn't exactly on...

The 245/45 19 PS4's were on my 2020 MS Performance as delivered so I have no way to judge against other options. I love these tires. After 6,000 miles I have 7.5 to 8 32nds of very even tread remaining - so minimal tire wear. Probably good for 30,000+ miles. I find that to be quite acceptable...

Troll. First post, pretty silly car comparison, has a Jag but worries about getting ahead financially and then says he'll have to buy a Miata to track, apparently doesn't have or track a car now, no one with a brain tracks a car you rely on for work, and no response. Troll smell all over this one.

I forgot all about the CCS capability. Just provide a charging adapter for goodness sake. The supercharger network is light years ahead of the competition but CCS capability would add to route planning flexibility.

I have a 2020 MS performance. This is what it would take to get me interested in replacing it. Paint and panel gaps that are up to modern standards and appropriate for the price point. Current paint really falls short and the panel gaps are put to shame by pretty much any modern car. Less...

The rate at 2700 miles was November and December and a small portion of January. The 298 Wh/Mi is lifetime.

I was well aware that my Wh/Mi would be higher in the winter so I wasn't surprised to see it rather high. There were also more instances of enjoying the acceleration, but honestly that hasn't gone down much. I have always tracked my cars' mileage (pretty anal about my cars) and the Tesla is no...

2020 MS Performance, 19" Michelin Pilot Sport 4, 11-8-20 delivery. For the first 2700 miles my rate was 343 Wh/Mi. At just under 5,100 total miles that number has dropped to 298 Wh/Mi. The drop in the average means that from the 2,700 mile mark the usage rate has been averaging on the order of...

It's been over a week. Any update/resolution yorkeystyl?

OK, kind of disturbing that you experienced the same symptom on both cars. It may be that I just haven't pushed my car that hard but I do think something is wrong with yours. I haven't experienced any of your symptoms. I'm a sample of one (semi-worthless), however, I owned and ran an auto repair...

Jeff, I hope you find that your car has an easily fixable problem, and it does sound like there is a problem. I have never felt the handling and steering were anything other than stable. Sports car handling, no. Very stable and controllable large sedan, yes. Post your impressions after...

Something is wrong. I have a 2020 MS Performance, 19" wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. This is not an nimble car by any stretch (at 5,000 lbs that would defy physics), but the steering is very precise and easy to place exactly where you want and the suspension is very stable. On...

Model S, October 2019 build, 19" wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. Not a whole lot of miles thanks to the virus lock down. For the first (roughly) 2700 miles I was averaging 343 Wh/mile. I suspect a software update Jan or Feb changed something. Now with 3,500 miles my lifetime average...
