Try this. You need to bore out the hole to 6mm or 15/64". then clean and crazy glue when in final position. The lock self calibrates. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BBBZBX6G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

yes, well sort of. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BBBZBX6G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 needs the hole drilled to 6mm or 15/64" Then clean shaft and bore, and crazy glue it when in final position Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. Admittedly, the 'vampire' loses are indeed there, but in the experiment i posted, i had approx 19kWh of energy discrepancy in a couple of days. Granted that there is cooling of the cells, but i purposely did this in the spring (Connecticut) so that ambient temps are not...

You're right, it may be un-cancelled in the future... It's unpredictable

I thought plaid+ was cancelled!?

Wrong? Not sure how my calculation is wrong. The car depleted the battery from 90% to 21%, so that's 69% difference. 69% of a 100kWh battery is 69kWh. The energy management system indicated 50.2kWh for a discrepancy of 18.8kWh. Now i don't think that this energy is due to vampire loses

wdolson, thank you for the detailed response. I'm guessing you're an engineer. I'm an electrical engineer, and understand I^2R loses, and truthfully no one really calculates the voltage drop from their electrical panel. I use 50' of 6awg and drop about 5 volts at 48 amps, so there's another 240w...

The miles were driven in a couple of days, and no preconditioning or remote access during that time. AC (climate) was in completely off position, and i did not race anyone at all. I have a suspicion that maybe i have a dragging brake pad that might explain the high energy usage per mile. But my...

That's 284 miles for 92% charge, or about 309 miles at full charge, providing a linear relationship. With only 16k miles, that's about a 2% drop from the rated 315 mile range. So I'm thinking that the battery is in pretty good shape

As far as handling is concerned, cars with low center of gravity and similar track dimension and tires, will have better steady state handling for sure (barring airfoils), but a heavy car with a high polar moment of inertia about the vertical axis, will be challenged with transient handling like...

This photo was taken after the car has been charged to 90% a few days earlier. During this cycle, i was very careful to go light on accelerator, almost no AC, no wakeup with the app, and trying to extract much mileage. But i did drive 80mph on highway. Imho, parasitic or vampire loses should be...

I don't charge the battery to 100%. My limit is 90% with 278 available miles. The rating on the car is 315, so if the relationship of % is linear to range, then at 100% i should have 308 miles miles is about 2% off of it's rating. The car has 16000 miles on it

This didn't involve a supercharger. My battery level went from 90% to 21% of a 100kWh capacity, so that's where i got the 69 kWh. If i were to recharge my battery from 21% to 90%, one might think that my wall charger will supply 69 kWh of energy (barring loses in the wall charger and in the wire...

Hey there, thanks for your reply. As i mentioned, my analysis was done on a very light foot, almost no AC, and max regen. So this was not a 'joy ride' experiment. At the end of the day my argument is that the dash board is lying about Wh/mi, as if it actually read the truth, i would accept it...

On a side note, at about 20 cents/kWh the car uses about 9 cents per mile, which is equivalent to about 35 mpg cost of an ICE. Not that I spent the money for a Tesla to save money on fuel, but l don't want to be ignorant and think that driving on electricity is so advantageous

In many threads, I have seen that the display in the dashboard be considered as accurate My experience has shown that the displayed wh/mi is NOT accurate at all! In a charge cycle for example, my car's battery depleted from 90% to 21% after driving 141.5 miles and the car's computer indicated...

I beg to differ the advertised range of 400 is with a 100% charge, going to 0! Real life scenario, you charge to 90% and drive to 20%. With lacking infrastructure, 20% on the low side is conservative. So essentially you have a net 70% (theoretical of course) of 400, or 280... In real life, you...

The energy use per mile displayed does not add up. I charge my 2017 p100d to 90%, or 90kWh for a100kWh battery. I've traveled 107.1 miles and used 37.7 kWh, but in reality, my battery has depleted to 39% out 90-39=51kWh. That's 30% more use than displayed!? I've been 'babying' the car during...
