With Model 3, a lot of previous Tesla owners received cars well ahead of lower reservation holders even in the same delivery area. I’m pretty sure the reason is the software was not done, somewhat buggy, and some features not there. They prefer a repeat owner in these cases as they already know...

Thanks for all the replies! I sort of feel silly for making such a big post, but it was REALLY HOT approaching Corning. The rest of our journey today was uneventful and we arrived in Ashland after a top up at Mt. Shasta with no further A/C problems. We should have rebooted earlier but we're...

Okay, so after a full charge at Corning (about 1 hr stop), we rebooted dash and console, set to LO and now its blowing hard like normal. Had to turn it up to 66F after about 10 minutes as we had Penguins pecking on the windows to get in! :) My concern is that this without determining Root...

Hi there fellow Tesla drivers! We are on an epic road trip from our home in San Diego, CA to Vancouver, BC using our 2012 Tesla Model S P85. We are currently on the northbound leg at the Corning Supercharger. Between Vacaville and Corning, we noticed the vehicle seemed to be getting hot and the...

+1 Perfectly stated!

I think part of the equation is the inaccuracy of the "rated range" in Model S compared to the range display available in many ICE vehicles. While not perfectly accurate, they are a lot closer. I surmise this is because fuel consumption in the low end of the engines's power output is near idle...

Just did our first supercharging the past weekend after owning our P85 for a year and went though Hawthorne on the way up and back from San Diego to the Central Coast. No slots closed on Friday or Monday and didn't have to wait either time, but did get the last slot on Friday. It was way busier...

Thanks for sharing! That does seem larger than it appears based on the stuff you put in the second pic. For further reference, are those cup holders about the same diameter as the armrest ones or are they bigger? Another question - could a small Kleenex box fit in front of the cup holders?

Thanks for the pics cadester! So it looks like the iPhone Dock flips up and down?

When we first got our Tesla a year ago, my wife and I liked the idea of the open space for the purse. Over that time, lots of little items have made a home in our center and now it looks a bit chaotic - and the purse almost always ends up in the passenger floorboard. So I'm thinking the...

Hey Cinergi - I received my fuses and was reviewing your pictures - Big thanks for posting those BTW! It appears that the old rear fuse is attached to the left plate on the bottom, but the new rear fuse is attached to the right-hand plate on the bottom. Can you confirm that is the way its...

While discussing this with a co-worker yesterday, she wisely commented: If you think you need a parking sensor, you're too close! She's not an owner - yet. But I'm working to convince her. She felt the car was far too special to be trying to cram it in a spot so small that a sensor is...

Generally speaking, no its not going to be a big deal - especially since it looks like you got the 85kW. However, if you have a very long drive to work/home then it is possible that vampire drain during that time could affect you because of the long hours... but that seems like a real long...

FWIW, our car (VIN P02975) was one of the last built in December 2012. We have over 8,000 miles on it and only one issue - a rear door that didn't want to open. Fixed itself within 24 hours. Service visits have been better than other car dealerships. Hope everyone else can get to the same...

Based on TurboFroggy's pics (thanks!!) I have the old design with fuses vertical vs horizontal. Also my HPWC part number ends in a -B. Has anyone had service upgrade your HPWC either with ranger or self-install? It seems like this would be a great topic for TM to post about on the TM forums.

I just spoke to Tesla Service San Diego and they said that since my HPWC came with a note warning about lowering the charge to 60A, AND since I now have 4.5, that I'm good to go for 80A charging. They were going to schedule an appointment to reset my DIPs, but I already have those set for a 100A...

What's the 1st Easter egg?

Me too. Never heard a stutter on 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 but since going to 4.3, it has happened a sporadically Actually commented to the wife I was surprised it didn't occur more often, but I now realize it really hadn't happened pre-4.3.

Maybe you can pick up one of the new P85 loaners?

So the wife and I have had the Model S for a few months now and have come to find that valets are leaving our car "in front" of the venue. Surely others have experienced this. We feel pretty cool when we walk out front and our Tesla is sitting right there, sometimes amongst exotic European cars...
