Knowing the degradation won't help. On the Model S no acceptable level of degradation is defined in the warranty - only failures are considered. Furthermore charging habits can have a huge influence on the capacity calculation made by the BMS. Discharging to zero may not give you the full...

I often read that comment, but struggle to understand it. Like for most cars - if not all -, the biggest part by far of depreciation is happening during the first 3 years and is behind you anyway. You will now probably only loose 6 to 10k$ per year in the coming years, while with the new one...

I would keep the old one. Your current Model S has the best combination that can be searched on a 1st gen: biggest battery, raven powertrain, lifetime supercharging and connectivity. On top of that, you still have USS and normal stalks, which I find for daily driving nothing less than very...

https://www.automobile-propre.com/tesla-model-3-highland-2023-informations-fiche-technique-equipement-autonomie/ We also got a presentation on this popular french website. They mentionned mainly the step improvement done on manufacturing quality (materials used, adjustments, sound insulation...

Yes. For me it was finally a small leak somewhere in the A/C circuit. The "rfrgSuctPress" was related to the loss of refrigerant. They could not find anything at the beginning, had to put a tracker, and I came back two weeks later. Bill is pretty expensive given what was done at the end (900€...

Hello all, Based on this interesting discussion I did a small experience two weeks ago, during a one day long trip, will appreciate your opinion. Car: 100D, built 09/2017, 154 000 km, nominal full pack is at 89 KWh, DC charge 14548 KWh, Charge total 47085 KWh. At start, after a full charge...

Still got the original battery, and no alert so far (100D produced in Sept 2017).

I also had such issues last year on my 100D, and it was also related to the charging/cooling system (chargepower would reach the maximum during 2-3 minutes then suddently drops). Was a 250€ fix. I'm now having one similar issue again - and again the problem is linked to the same area. I follow...

thanks @TMeister , looks indeed pretty likely. I had the full AC service being done when I bought the car two years ago, including desiccant bag. I guess if something was wrongly done I would have seen it before. If this was related to former maintenance I would more suspect the last repair in...

Normal, but the louvers were closed during supercharging.

Good day to you all, I'm currently driving a S 100D from late 2017, now with 146 000 km on the odometer, a great car overall. I started to have supercharge issues last year. A charge would quickly ramp up to 135-142KW, but after a few minutes would start throttle at 100-110KW. After a service...

@dan_uk seems we're all doing the same mistakes. When I bought my 100D my return trip was 1000km long. The seller told me he was giving a T2-cable with the car, but it appears that this cable was for hybrids only, limited to 3.7KW. And on top of that the hotel where I would sleep had a charge...

Congrats. Now fix the screen and do the CCS retrofit. and then just drive and enjoy this great car. Don't worry about degradation. After a few months you'll end up with the same conclusion than all of us... your car probably just has the average fleet degradation! You can use the Tessie app...

I'm commuting on almost desert roads, that would be by far more useful to me. Sometimes the issue is that the car designer here is not used to different situations than in his own place of life (California?). Take for example the disconnection of LTE connection when crossing a border. It...

Got 4-5 phantom brakings last Sunday, during a 550km trip, while driving on a very clean motorway, with little disturbations. It is really annoying, uncomfortable for passengers and dangerous for you and other road users. I also had the feeling it was slightly better in the last times, but as...

MCU2, Premium audio, "classic" air suspension, nothing looks wrong. Plan a few bucks for the CCS retrofit as it is not installed yet, this is really becoming mandatory now in Europe, as all V3 superchargers come with this connection only. That also allows you to use all competitors (more...

I'll be provocative but I think degradation is the only thing you should not care about... It is difficult to measure it really accurately, even with a dongle and an app. Many factors can influence measurement (battery temperature, recent charging habits and BMS measurement drifting, etc.)...

True...main interest of bigger batteries comes for trips above 400-500 km. If you go for a 75D check whether it is uncorked (0 to 100km in 4.4sec instead of 5.4). It came standard after a certain production date (I think mid-17, but not sure), was optional before. 90Ds and 100Ds accelerate that...

I'm owing both .. A 2001 S2000 (which I keep as a collector car) and a 100D. Both are among the best cars I ever had. My own thoughts: - 1088870 is the 90D V3 battery, no particular degradation issues. - how the interior ages is definitively more related to how the previous owners took care...

There is no leveling mechanism in the european version. Leveling mechanisms (and headlamp washers) are mandatory in Europe when headlamps emit more than 2000 lumens (a xenon of 35W, for example). The turnaround used by Tesla is to lower the headlight power in Europe (xenon of 25W on the...

Peak ever seen on mine is 142 KW, bu it is (I think) limited by the European Type 2 chargeport. However, from one charge to the other it also fluctuates a lot. Questions: what is the mileage of your car and how often has it been supercharged? And how long do you keep these 185 KW, or something...

Hello Zuikkis, I can testify some similar experience with my 100D. Sometimes I am in the 135-140KW zone for a while, sometimes it doesn't exceed 120-125 KW. I have the feeling that outside temperature plays an important role, especially on V2 SUC. These experiences with limited power were...

My own left headlight DRL just started to have the issue (4.5 years, so warranty expired). I've been quoted by Tesla 1568 € for the replacement! Seems the halved replacement cost is not yet reflected in Europe. Revision E only (part number in Europe: 1053574-E). Has someone another experience...

Thanks for the proposal! Unfortunately I don't live that close to Sardinia... But who knows? Do not hesitate to send me a message once your trip is organized.

Another comment which just came to my mind... The Model S, by its size and especially its width, may not be the best car to live with in a place like Sardaigna. All locals there have small cars, and when driving (or parking) in their mountain villages you'll quickly understand why. A Model 3...

Importing a car from outside the EU, you will have to pay VAT (20%) + import duties (10%). Legal requirements are different between the EU and the US so you will also have to make some adaptations. For example xenon headlights above 25W have to be equipped with headlight washers, which do not...

Concerning the BTX6 (100D) I don't exactly confirm. I have still reached a peak of 142KW last week-end (I'm on the 2021.40.6, 100D from 2017). The car has however difficulties to stabilize at that level and the charging speed usually drops quickly somewhere in the 125 to 135 KW range. This...

I have a 100D from 2017 with Enhanced Autopilot. Upgraded to MCU2 in July and now with 2021.32.10. I have totally lost the autopark function, it is now never proposed (even when the park place is obvious). When I had the MCU1 this was still (more or less) working properly. Do some of you had...

Yep, I do confirm I have these as well.

After a few days and some exchanges about the freezes, I received a feedback from the service center. The issue should now be solved with the 2021.32.10 update, which my car received a few days ago. So far I did not have any freeze - let's see how this goes in the coming days.

I made the upgrade to MCU2 in July, including radio. I have a 100D, first registration October 2017 in France (so manufacturing date probably July-August 2017). I am experiencing since the upgrade random freezes (both screens) and reboots, more or less one per week. One even happened during...

Thanks. It seems that the BTX5 pack has also evolved over time. I finally had the opportunity to buy a 100D from 2017 with 80 000 kilometers. Battery degradation 6%, with roughly 50% of supercharger use. Let's see how this will evolve (my own use will be probably below 10% supercharge).

Hello all, Thanks first all users for the knowledge shared in this forum. Impressive. After a few years buying and testing a first EV (Renault Zoe, as a second "city" car) we are very satisfied and I am now looking to buy a Tesla S to replace the family car (3 kids). I went through various...
