I really think we need a notification that our vehicle is not charging or that it has a scheduled start time of 'X' . I've had quite a few instances (I use scheduled departure) of my car not charging for unknown reason.

Here is another reason you buy the performance model:Nikola Corp | Nikola Badger

Issue is folks convinced us the resale with high miles would be better in the performance model. We also have friends with McClarens, Porsche, Lamborghini, etc... so the ability to smoke them was desirable ;)

Exactly. My wife isn't driving a Prius. She's quite pampered and will be until I die. I'd drive a rusted out Ford pickup to keep her in luxury. This new commute opportunity took us by surprise, she was looking for a bigger leadership role and this one fell in her lap. We will make due with...

Moving closer not an option LOL we live on an estate - 6 acres all wooded, 100 year old mature hardwoods with a 6 car garage and 7000sq ft. 1.5 hours from Chicago you can afford that as two professionals with good jobs. A) not going to get that in Chicago, B) even remotely close would cost...

Thank you very much!! This real world is example is most helpful. A Tesla service tech contacted me and he basically said the same thing you did. I have newer batteries in my car, and they are not as concerned about the 100% charging as previously stated. He said in fact the opposite is...

You are not likely at all to get tickets at 10MPH over the speed. Most police set their radars to +11 and that is where you get pulled over. We also have a radar detector, run Waze, etc... so even more unlikely. In the event you get a ticket - that's what attorney's get paid to deal with -...

Interesting - just checked and our car came with 19" wheels... odd. I wonder if someone jacked those at the dealer? Brand new Model S Performance... I thought you could only get 21"

I wonder if they can do the update by wire... or if I need to take it in. I hate paying people to work on my car when I can do it myself.

Assuming I would have to recalibrate the speedo then? There would be no advantage to going smaller wheels and taller tires ie: matched circumference to range?

ok so either one of those? No "special" one is needed?

Thank you for all the input. To clarify a few things... I insisted on the purchase of an EV due to mileage driven, fuel, and maintenance considerations. We researched and researched this car. WE decided to purchase a Model S. After talking with a handful of friends that own them, and some...

Where in a 2020 Model S do you plug in your USB memory device for your dashcam video?

How do you plan your trip from the app? I've heard mention of scheduled charging as well and dont see where to do that.

No one *Needs* a Tesla either. Could have bought a Diesel 2 seater with 800 mile range. The MSP car makes the trip just fine, the issue is trying to understand the relevance and implications of charging daily >90% when Elon clearly says this is not in the best interests of battery life.

She does have a charger at her garage - a public one.

I've driven an 8 hour trip on FSD and the only time my new car did this was when someone veered into my lane. For some reason the car 25% of the time will hit the brakes, and 75% of the time it will swerve if it can. We use FSD all the time and have not experienced the car stopping for no...

I know this makes sense... but when you are driving 120 miles one way she tends to push it to get their faster. I showed her the difference in time and explained the range shes losing for those 6 mins isn't worth it.

Hello, I just bought my wife a new 2020 Model S Performance. Her daily commute is a real 225 miles per day to work and back. The car and our sales people have been telling us to charge to 90%. The problem with that is at 90% she only gets about 300 miles range in the performance model. With...
