    F/S Referral Reward Signature Matte Black HPWC

    I have a reward Black Charger to sell. Sounds like $500 is the going price. PM if you are interested.

    What's your 90%?

    S60 @ 36K miles, 90% gives 174 miles now. Not thrilled. 100% Range charge gives 194 now (originally was 208).

    View Waze Incidents on the Tesla browser

    I am also loving this page, and it has become my favorite standard display page. Thanks for the work. +1 on the request for bigger Zoom buttons (ideally, the same as the Plugshare page which mimic the Navigation panel buttons).

    Bad Audio Noise Error -- Test Audio files included

    On further listening, the sound on my test files still seems odd (though markedly improved). It almost appears to me as they added a notch filter for that particular audio distortion frequency, simply masking the offensive noise. The audio still seems distorted to me, but in a much more subtle...

    Supercharger - Primm, NV

    I only seem to get about half-speed charging at Primm. With my S60, I see about 50kW, and it charges about 140mph when near empty. This is with the station being otherwise empty, and trying multiple stalls. I get the full 105kW charging at Barstow.

    Decreasing rated range.

    B-pack. - - - Updated - - - I do typically set it less than 90%, so I will try that. But I thought that only affected the Rated range, not the Ideal range (which is supposed to be unaffected by the algorithms).

    Decreasing rated range.

    My current stats: S60, 22K miles, 100% charge give 193.7 rated / 220.8 ideal. B-pack. Not especially thrilled about that.

    Is the Supercharger option worth $2,000?

    I can confirm you will want it. I purchased Supercharging after delivery (paying the $500 penalty), after incredible vacillation and spreadsheets. In the end, it's not about electricity break even as it is about how much more often I use the car for long distances, and have almost completely...

    Need Advice: Minor Ding, Incredible Body Shop Quote (insurance? options?)

    The love of my life had a minor incident with a pole. The wheel well is scraped, and two dents on that small panel that surrounds the wheel. No door damage. To my eye, it seems pretty minor league. I call Tesla: Who do you recommend for a body shop? I am in North Los Angeles area. I take it...

    How does supercharging work for 60kwh MAs without the supercharging option?

    EV Trip Planner: Auto-routing through Superchargers

    Hissing/Distortion from front noted on some tracks...

    FYI I've found some more tracks that demo this noise pretty well. Some of them are pretty well known: 1) Lorde's Royals -- during the quiet bridge towards the latter half of the song 2) Modern English, I Melt With You -- During the iconic humming I have many more that I've tracked by now...

    VisibleTesla

    What is the most direct way to use VisibleTesla to monitor Vampire loss? Right now, I am exporting data, and then in Excel visually looking at the Range column to find when the charging appears to end (when V goes to 0), and then again right before speed picks up, sometime in the morning...

    Bad Audio Noise Error -- Test Audio files included

    The effect is definitely heightened when the bass level is increased, but it still audible (and annoying) at 0db. Dropping the bass level out entirely does indeed remove the distortion (and obviously all of the bass).

    Bad Audio Noise Error -- Test Audio files included

    I continue to hear these errors even with the latest firmware (5.8.7). They appear most often in movie soundtracks (a genre I enjoy, but less so in the Tesla). Two pop songs that also show this distortion: Royals by Lorde (the quiet section on the bridge) and I Melt With You by Modern English...

    The A/C is actually broken in my car. It is currently parked, clearly outside in the sun, at the Tesla Service Center. I'm not thrilled, but the cooling doesn't work, you see, so my only recourse is to share my pain with you fine people. However, I will continue to enjoy my P85 loaner...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    My house icon is usually off the screen. For voice, in my six year old Lexus IS I can just say "Home" and it immediately navigates me home. Indeed, it's the only voice command that works reliably in that car, and I sorely miss it. In the MS, I have to say my entire address, which is pretty...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    Three big ones for me, that seem bizarrely absent in my opinion: 1) Favorites for navigation, particularly "Home". Ideally, would be combined with on-map icons, and voice commands ("Navigate Home"). This is all standard on Nav systems for many years now. 2) Finish charging by a certain time...

    Audio: Sound System Quality?

    I concur, this seems to be a broad crossover issue, as it is completely independent of fader/balance settings (i.e. the distortion appears out of every speaker). I have the standard audio system (not Studio), so 30Hz audio gets almost no ordinary playback at all as there is no subwoofer. I...
