I sent it to the Tesla HQ in Zurich, Switzerland. Adressed to no specific name, just their Management ("Geschäftsleitung"). As with the first letter, they passed it on to my local Service Center from which the reply was sent to me.

I just received the 2nd certified letter from Tesla, in reply to my 2nd certified letter to them (demanding to have the charging speed adjusted to the pre-2019-16-x-software values): We refer to your letter of xx.yy.2020 and would like to inform you about the following: We are pleased to...

Q4/2014 AP1, 120.000km, no capped battery (at least that I am aware of, looks like regular degradation)

This would have been the boilerplate response text if they would have checked my battery (received by other owner going through the process...): Oh wait, that could not have been the answer since MY battery never had 85 kWh. I only own a battery that has a sticker that states 85 kWh. Must...

I am contemplating whether to also file actions against Tesla about my #chargegated S85. Long-distance travel is a no-go, add 3 1/2 hours charging on a 1000km trip to a long drive at it is. My GF is no longer willing to take the Tesla. Even our (old) dog is annoyed by the long and frequent...

... and wouldn't TSLA also be obligated to file a risk-statement of sorts to the SEC in due time?

What is your guys take on the role of Panasonic? Did they deliver a cell-/cell-chemistry according to Tesla spec, or do we have 18650s primarily being based on Panasonics' cookbook? In any case, this should not be our problem :-/

... sorry, I need to be a bit more precise here: I am referring to the #chargegate affected S85/S70 classics (which is the whole fleet of them), and their by-software-reduced chargerate (example, see below): SoC kW 10 81 15 80 20 83 25 79 30 75 35 70 40 65 45 61 50 54 55 46 60 42 65 39 70 35...

For the math-wizards out there: what would be the new sweet spot in terms of driving speed in comparison to SuC charging "speed"? Tesla-Björn did calculate 200km/h for the Model3... For us it seems like the old days, the slower driver will cross the finish line faster...

Maybe yet another possible approach for a lawyer to grab Tesla by the balls - using a cyber law defense-line?

I asked about this. Apparently there is some sort of special 'weak' stitching in place where the air bag will deploy if needed.

I know I know, I have to watch out for the style police... But hey, I am no Mario Cipollini and have reached an age where I just don't give a damned anymore... ;-) Hence, hello comfy lambskin seat covers. Yes, of course I do have working seat heating - but the warmth with the lambskin is...

I happily would make an in-car in-app purchase for additional licences...

Please add a few more HomeLink profiles. Why is there only three of them?

Julius Bär : Bär Insight Equity Research: TESLA MOTORS : Nov 17th 2016 : Reduce

I made a recording with my phone while having the AC run (at a low setting) on a hot day. At the end (of the file) I turned the AC off: sound file (m4a). Standing next to the car it seems to roar much louder, than standing in front of it. In the cabin it is not that bad, there it is more of a...

Same here. I had my 2014 at the SeC recently, due to IMHO excessive A/C noise - and was told "normal".

I am able to parallel park just fine, thank you. I never had to parallel park my Tesla in a tight spot without camera assistance in a hurry, though. First you realize something is wrong with the system and try to access the camera by manual launching it, then you try again, nada. The clock keeps...

Yep, after a reboot it works (for now). Didn't help though, because it takes a while for a reboot, when having to parallel park (at a free charger) with cars waiting behind for you to get out of the way...

Hi Frank, I had the same issue this weekend. You are not alone. Quite a challenge having to parallel park without a working rear view camera - and cars waiting behind you to get in the spot and out of the way, in a one-way-street...

I drive a 2nd-hand S85 in that exact color combination. The moment I laid eyes on the car (and its color) I knew: yes, that will be mine. It feels lounge-y and is inviting, it looks elegant and makes us feel at home. One caveat, though: it is a end of 2014 model with the then standard-dashboard...

In todays local newspaper (local = Zug, Switzerland) I found an interview with the CEO of Bossard, one of the suppliers of Tesla. He states that the production of Model X starts in September. But he also said that the challenge for Tesla will be to hit that target and manage the ramp-up...

Even the Kia Soul EV has seat cooling ...

I attended the European "D" launch event in Interlaken, Switzerland last Friday. After the formal presentation by Jerome Guillen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGAVmTdQIpE) he was around to talk to people. One guy asked about the new headlights and mentioned the pictures from this thread (with...

Acording to the Press Conference schedule Tesla is not having one :-( http://www.salon-auto.ch/media/document/0/1st-press-day-final-schedule-03.02.2015.pdf http://www.salon-auto.ch/media/document/0/2nd-press-day-final-schedule-03.02.2015.pdf

FWIIW, there is still an on-going OBD-soft-/hardware project called myEV on Indiegogo which claims Roadster compatibility: my EV @ Indiegogo

... one more thing: TSLA had a packed booth at both press days!

Since I have been asked I just asked: and nope, Jeremy Straubel won't give an appearance at IAA afterall. Over & out (from IAA), AQQU

I can confirm, also being told by TSLA staff at IAA, that the IAA Frankfurt SC is a temporary and "portable" solution with no permanent location assigned to.

Sorry, changed it (hopefully, not that easy on the mobile).

Press conference video is now on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IchWzoD7n0 The beginning is missing, sub-par position and I had to hold up the cam on a stick - but nevertheless.

Yeah sorry. IAA isn't a boon docks event, though. No executives, no excitement, playing a video from the SuperCharger opening in Norway somehow didn't cut it. In comparison to Geneva this year a larger press audience attended. However much less was said.

Disappointing Press Conference. Was a bit late because of being at BMW, hence sub-par audience spot for A/V. No announcement of AWD S, the X prototype wasn't even on the show floor (was in Geneva). Why no top executives at IAA? Straubel wasn't there either. Blankenship supposedly is in China...

Benz, thank you for welcoming me. I run a (German-language) EV site (AQQU.ch or .de) and happen to have press credentials. It is an "enthusiast project", nothing commercial at all (I take two days of vacation for attending a trade show, how crazy is that...?).

I was told that JB Straubel and Jerome Guillen will be present. I will be there tomorrow morning if everything works out. And if my brought along audio recorder (never used it) also plays nice I might be able to provide a recording of the press conference. Looking at the floor plan the TSLA...
