Just recently – within the past couple of weeks – the Charge Time Remaining calculation when charging at home is off by nearly a factor of 2. This problem may have been coincident with my last firmware update. I have a 2013 S 85 with firmware version 2019.24.4. Power level at charger is fine...

Went to Katie's Cars and Coffee last Saturday. I live nearby-- so when I go, I usually arrive around 6 am or a little after, and have always found lots of parking spots still available. I arrived last Saturday with my X at 6:15 am, and the entire parking lot was filled. I found a spot in...

I am a retired Naval officer who occasionally attends Navy conferences/seminars because I am sure to meet old colleagues and shipmates. At one such conference this week, there were many vendor booths with the usual array of hand-outs. You know the story --- pens, key chains, coffee mugs, and...

Spent the weekend in Philadelphia and stayed at the Marriott Downtown. Great central location. I pulled up in the valet parking line and informed them that I preferred to park the car myself in their garage. They were EXTREMELY polite about it and one of their valet team jumped in the...
