Well if they want to entice the Euro-luxury car owners away from ICE technology they better bring back silver because that seems to be the preferred color of those cars.

I must confirm that since 6.1 my wh/mi has dropped from around 350 to less than 310. 90% charge has remained 221. My trip meters have never been reset by any of the upgrades. I too have the A battery and ~41k mi.

So should I replace my P85 with a Porsche Turbo S.

+1 bareyb thanks for the direction nwdiver

Why not also drop the D and save another 4K

@Theshadows Yes! watch the reveal on you tube or go to teslamotors.com

Watch the reveal on youtube. All cars in production will have the hardware needed for autopilot. The software will cost you money. Like activating supercharging on a 60.

I submitted a request to tesla for my P85 12/12 37k mi 100k sticker and was offered 66k. Squirming around cant wait to get my hands on a D.

I read about the Camber bolts on another thread and had the SC put them on at my last service. Any idea how much they correct the negative camber.

Ever driven a Porsche?

25,786 mi Lifetime average 347 wh/mi. New tires replaced with identical Conti's and upgrade to 5.8 3 wks ago noticed my daily average went up to 370 wh/ mi got 5.9 last night rated miles on standard charge went up from 215 to 226 but todays average was again 376 wh/mi .

@AR no sarcasm intended I will be talking to the SC about the camber bolts when I go into get the shield installed.

@gnelson How do you manage to get those numbers. Are you driving downhill all the time? I just lost my auto lowering and my wh/mi went up from 320 to 360. In fact on the last charge I got 371. Does any one here think that Tesla can change the amount the meter reads?

@AR thanks for the info.

Guys its not the height off the floor , it's the height in front of the gas pedal towards your face. When you push down on the brake the edge of your foot should not touch the gas pedal till the brake is fully activated. @Liuping there are 25K cars between your vin and mine maybe Tesla already...

@FlasherZ You are lucky! the last time I had a wheel done in L.A. it was $250

@AR what's this about camber bolts please elucidate.

Two people have mentioned this and I agree. The brake pedal should be at least 1/4" above the gas pedal. In fact when I was readying my 911 for track day I was advised to make sure that the brake pedal was exactly at the level of the gas pedal when fully engaged to facilitate heel and toeing. I...

After reading this thread I ran the battery down to 11mi rated and range charged at 12 amps. The range charge went up from 240 to 245 but I noticed that my wh/mile went up from 320 to 360. The ideal mi went up from 277 to 288. The car has 25k mi on it. I used to get 242 rated on a standard...

I suspect they are just waiting for the NHTSA to clear it.

I only keep coming here waiting for someone to say that it's back with their latest update. I'm going in for service next week so I guess the upgrade to 5.8 will happen then, I guess I should be happy I managed to keep the feature for 4 months.Hope it comes back soon.

Have you checked to see at what speed it lowers? If I'm right it was lowering at 95 mph on 5.8

Please just let me know what is going on. Till then I will stay on 5.6

What is a P120 how do I get one?

Could you please post pictures so we can see what happens.

I haven't upgraded from 5.6 and no one has called me.

Now I'm going to have to crawl under my car only to find I have an AA battery!

I agree that it's probably a game we play to get those wH/Mi numbers down. But when needed I will use that torque to show off or change lanes on people who try to block a lane change. Driving above 75 for sustained periods is reserved for when I'm late. Some how my 911 drives happier at 80...

Zextraterrestrial you have a lead foot. My 911 c2s with 65,000 mi has it's original brake pads,and I have tracked it!

Isn't hard rubber better in the heat. I live in Socal where it is never cold.

I told my wife "Honey I can charge my car for free at the Hawthorne SC" (20 mi away). She said "cheap B*****d".

I am just a regular person who doesn't have great racetrack abilities/need. I just like to smoke the guy in the lane next to me at the lights especially if they are driving high powered ICE vehicles. Will the Hankooks do as well as the Conti's in this situation?

I took a trip to Las Vegas earlier this year and decided that we own enough ICE vehicles to not use "Pa's fancy golf cart"(that's my son's description) for long distance travel yet. I have taken many trips to San Diego and back but am not willing to risk ICE'ing of SC spots or waiting in line...

ElectricAvenue When did your car complete charging? I think the battery cools down when not actively charging or discharging. Running the heat on shore power will prevent the battery from discharging leaving it cold.

Excellent write up Chad

Everyone asks "where is it made?". Proudly I say "California". Nuff said.

Seen the i3 in real life on the street butt uggly. You have to be a total German car lover to see anything good in it. Model S is my daily driver, not much love goes to the 911 sitting on the battery tender for 1-2 weeks at a time.

Ah the beauty of OTA updates!

People have been complaining that regen with 5.8 is lower than before and are pushing a 2 change and 2 reboot solution. Anybody know if this is a bug or intentional change.

Maybe they didn't! TM needs to address this matter and let us know which it is.

It' not a Florida thing happens to me every other day in California. By the way my son took on his friend's GT-R using my Carrera S tying a 1/8 mile at the Irwindale track just because his friend wouldn't use launch control and void the warranty. In real life neither would use launch control at...

I'm a lucky man. I am usually on the teslamotors site but as it is currently down I came here. Thank my luck! I will not be accepting the version 5.8 which was offered to me today. I'm currently on 5.6 which I got less than a week ago, of which, I like most features except the fact that the blue...

P85 here in Socal 6600 miles av 358 wh/mi. Probably due to many short trips. What does one have to do to average 270?
