Should be a worthwhile option that I had not tried. I will try it now. Thanks!

Took the car to the best car detailer guy. He tried the strongest strength of "Super Clean" that he was willing to go with no effect. . .I love your thought on getting the dimple pattern all across! :)

What did you end up doing? i have a similar problem. . .and might be happy with a $850 solution of replacing just the cover, instead the entire seat for $1,960 that Tesla is quoting. Were you able to replace just the fabric alone?

Folks, I used a "seat protector" that came with a child seat, when I fastened the child seat on the rear seat of my 2019 Model S. After a week of shuttling my grandkid, the black "seat protector" left indelible dimple marks on the white seat! (I should ask the manufacturer which seat is being...

These are not cars. . . but computers on wheels. . .so such price drops are to be expected with digital technologies. Except that it is painfully happening at $50 to $100k price points. . .

I have a 2019 MS 100D, bought that December. I have 40K on my original Goodyear Eagle Touring. The two rears look like they will go another 5K, but the front ones are ready for replacement; I plan to replace all 4 in Sept. With that kind of mileage in 20 months, Obviously lots of freeway...

On a related topic, I'd like to get your take on this observation: There are 3 ways I can get the kW-hr consumption after, say, 30 miles of continuous driving in my car, fresh after charging. (Starting after charging resets some energy consumption values to zero; hence the suggestion.) I find...

Useful data. Thanks.

Lifetime over ~29K miles is 273Wh/mi. 2019 Raven LR, 19", about 25% miles in cold weather (sub-freezing). Lots of freeway driving (65-70mph avg.)

Good question. . I've thought about it too. . .here is where I netted out. If, by not pre-conditioning the battery on a cold day, assume the consumption goes up by 150 W/mi (say from 300 to 450 W/mi). So, if you run errands for an hour and put on 15 miles in town, with no pre-conditioning of...

I live in Wisconsin. . a cold weather state. I have a 2019 MS LR (non-performance). . .and have put on ~30K miles in exactly 2 years since I bought the car new in Dec. 2019. My lifetime average is 273 Wh/mi. Screenshot below. I make a lot of trips around in the midwest; I'd estimate 70% of...

This may be a naive question - instead of 17-lead acids, could you have considered one/two PowerWalls? Did it have to do with cost or availability or complexity??

Phantom breaking was a regular feature in my 2019 MS LR up until about 4 months ago at predictable locations in freeways around me. Despite that I continued using TACC with care to see if the periodic software updates helped. Now I am on 2020.48.10; and I can say that it has dropped by about...

Turning off the heater in cold weather, pushing car uphill, life lessons from wife. . .. I hit 3% in my 2019 MS LR when I reached home after a long drive. . .it was a bit unnerving. Ah, all the joys of owning $50 - $100K luxury brand!!

I bought excitedly a new Model S LR in Dec 2019. Have a Tesla Wall Charger running from the breaker panel. Still learning about charging limits, battery degradation, phantom braking, vampire drain, ghost cruise, monster space, etc. from these discussions. I am running 2020.32.3. Need help on...

You may have noticed on the panel that every time when phantom braking happens the displayed speed limit drops from, say 70 to 50, or even a "blank". IMO the car then decides to rapidly drop to the new limit. The question is, why on earth, does this "smart" car think that the speed limit has...
