The EPA site says 263 miles Total Range. Meaning city and hwy. It says 150 mpgE for the city and also the hwy milage. Pay attention to the E in MPGE. The site says 133 HWY mpgE. The EPA site also says one gallon of gasoline equals 33.7 kwh So, you divide 33.7 into the battery...

Curious and ignorant here. But, why can't a Tesla or other ev with so much torque, gear the darn thing so it can acturally have range worth a darn ? My 220 mile range at 75mph on interstates isn't very impressive to me. My other two cars have a range of 520 miles. As in Ft Worth to Santa Rosa...

I've a 22 Tesla S Model with the 19" wheels. I find numerous times, when driving 75 mph on Interstate 35 in Texas, that I get 30 miles for each 10% of battery. Happens at night with lights on, a/c on and during the day also. Supposedly I could go 300 miles with a charge of 100% but who wants...

Trying to find the right place to post this. I know this isn't the place, but........Online mag Inside EV's tests EV range. They charge up to 100$ then drive till the car drops, so to speak. My question is: Do they not know about battery degradation ? I'm sure they must, but I'll be darn...

I will. Own a '22 Tesla S model now and had a '20 Performance S model. Teslas are priced as luxury cars but other than that are not. Go drive a EQS 580 or just sit in one and compare it to a S model Tesla. No contest, the EQS wins in all ways. Cyber truck with a half arse steering wheel ...

I'm beyond underwhelmed by my '22 Tesla S Models 405 mile range which in real life is more like 180 to 200 miles if you comply with Teslas recommendation of not letting the batt go below 20% nor over 80% when charging. 75mph gives me approx 30 miles per ten percent of usable battery. NOBODY...

YES. Rated range. Check it out first. Supercharging degrades batteries. You have no idea how many times the previous owners used superchargers and or let the car charge up to 100 % or drop below 20%. Those cause battery degradation. Not nearly enough ev fanatics mention how superchargers...

I get thie 'phantom' braking too much. Mostly on inproved hwys like I-20 near Ranger, Texas headed west or Temple, Texas headed south. The navigation system is faulty imho. Or the people who designed it are faulty. Your choice. This Never happens on my Mercedes. I said Never.

Is the '22 Model S supposed to come with a cargo cover ? I had a 21 that did have one, but I bought that one used with 1200 miles on it. Not talking about floor mats and the like. A Cargo Cover that hides your 'stuff' when the hatch is closed.

Thanks a lot. That makes sense. I'll eat some humble pie now.

i noticed a noticable change in the range for a S modle Tesla today. Was I believe 405 miles and is now around 373 miles give or take a few miles. Anybody know why this change was made?

A resonable person would want one because it is supposed to show what equipment the car was built with. It should be shown on the Tesla Build/buy site but is not. So if you buy a Tesla S model online, your left clueless about what features the car has. Like ventilated seats in the 2021, back...

I ran across this thread today and saw mention of a Monroney Window Sticker. That sticker reminds me why I don't like buying a Tesla S online. Unless I missed it, there is no such item shown on the 'buy' page. Like I found out by accident the '21 is supposed to have accoustic laminated glass...

Sounds about right, Che. I asked a Tesla rep on the phone about the acoustic laminated glass and which glass is acoustic laminated. He had to call me back later saying it was windshield and front doors. I wonder about this a bit after I, by accident saw a Tesla video on the glass in the car...

WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING? I CAN HARDLY HEAR YOU.

I f memory serves, acoustic laminated glass will not fit on a car that was builtt with normal glass. At least that is the way it is with 'Benz cars. The reason is that acoustic laminated glass is much thicker. Just my opinion, not set in stone. I'd suggest calling Safelite. They replaced...

IT'S JUST TYPING, NOT YELLING.

IF ONE GOES TO MBUSA OR PORSCHE CONFIGURATOR ONLINE, THEY WILL LIST EVERY FEATURE OF WHAT CAR YOUR LOOKING AT. TESLA DOES not DO THIS ON THEIR ONLINE ORDERING SITE. AS AN EXAMPLE THEY DO NOT SHOW ACOUSTIC GLASS. WHY IS THAT?

About charging stations around the USA. IMHO it seems someone could create a charging station made up of only 14-50 plugs and slots for just ev cars. Like take a normal filling station with no pumps but say twenty plus spaces for ev cars, each with a 14-50 plug. Pay at the counter or whatever...

Ok. I called Tesla and made a complaint about the change in wheels prior to beginning this thread. The woman was not helpful at all other than saying they would be black. So I told her I wanted to cancel the order. She seemed only too happy to tell me how. Hours later I got a message from...

You guys remind me of the sporting goods company that refused to sell a oil production company jackets with the oil companys logo on the jacket. The owner of the oil company looked at all the apparel the sporting good company sold and allllll of it was from oil based products. You really...

2020 Tesla S Model. Since Feb I've gotten frunk unlatched messages but the frunk is indeed latched. Seemingly it happens when the car sits in the sun after driving for a while. Yesterday I drove from Ft Worth to Possum Kingdom dam to view the water being released from the dam spillway. Got...

Yeah. I can go to my car and drive down to Park Place Mtrs on Hulen, get in a S63 for a test drive for fifty miles or so,.Then if I have my car title for the trade in with me, I'd be home by eight pm with the new car. Probably before 8pm seeing as it's fivee pm now.

Hunting for buttons in the dark for cruise, turn signal etc instead of stalks IS clunky. Matters not. I canceled my order today due to Bait and Switch of the silver Tempest wheels for butt ugly ones. They showed up as silver the day I bought online and stayed silver for months til today when...

Had a S Model on order for three months. Went through the cluncky Tesla trade in process to get a value on the old Tesla. Then today I look at the order on my account and the wheels have changed from silver to butt ugly black/grey where before they showed silver for the last few months. ...

Loaded the app on a Ipod and it worked. Loaded it on a Ipad and it worked. Deleted the app on the iphone and reinstalled it and it now works.......like someone suggested on another thread Big mistake 'cause now Tesla knew the car was on it's second owner and now I get no free Supercharger...

Why isn't there a seperate way of dimming the cluster screen? Vs all screens being dimmed when dimming them.

Also, why is there NOT a safety latch? Mechanical Latch?

I've seen this in Tx outside Ranger, Texas headed west up Ranger Hill. That stretch of hwy has been reconfigured in the last year and a half. When in cruise control the car drops from ??? 70-75 mph to well below 60 before I punch the accelerator and bring the speed back up. Going east on the...

Good way to do it imho. Especially with the YOLK steering wheel and lack of ergonomic stalks for cruise/wipers/gear selection. If I don' t like the 'new' way, I walk away. Having to reach for a touch screen to select gears is neanderthal Probably not allowed to use 'Stupid' on this site.

So. I presently have insurance on the one I own now. I do NOT plan to pay for two Tesla overpricced insurance policies at the same time. When I get the new car and trade the old, THEN I'll call the insurance company with new vin and get the insurance. How's that sound? Reasonable to me for...

The app does zippity for me. It shows the vin numver of the car I presently own plus one on order. NO photo of the car shows up. It's useless. Yes I do need to go to the ?????? dealer??? which does not exist or the Service Center I should not have to do that at all. It's in convienient...

I question just why anybody would order a S model without first seeing if the Yolk wheel is acceptable. Everything about the 2020 version with Mercedes style stalks is so intuitive while a clunky yolk is not. Just my opinion,

Tell ya what. Go to Texas and get on I-20 headed west. Start in say, Gorden, Texas and head up Ranger Hill with the nav set for someplace like El Paso etc. I guarantee you that Tesla S Performance will practically stop half way up Ranger Hill because it's soooo confused as to where the road...

Just saying.......this day I saw a (I believe) Consumer Report where they drove a Tesla on autopilot on a course with dividing lines, and the driver got into the passenger seat and the car kept driving. They had a 'weight' attached to the left side of the steering wheel and seat belt buckled...

Thank you. Yes, the plastic covers threw me off. I shoulda known better.

I should have mentioned they are 19" wheels.

I'd like to know the lug nut/bolt head size so I can take the wheel off. I"ve read on this forum it was 24mm which is Wrong. This is a 2020 Tesla Performance car. There is a small chance there are covers over the nut/bolt head and I don't know if that is the case or not, Thanks for the...
