    Plaid Performance Degradation with Mileage

    Great thread everyone. I could use some help with my milage degradation. My Model S Plaid has 4000 miles on it. When new, I had 388 miles when 100% charged. Today, after only 4000 miles it's reduced to 340 miles. That's 12% in such a short period. I charge mostly at home. Rarely...

    Drag Strip Mode - Details Wanted - Model S Plaid

    Thank you Mash. That makes more sense (no need to preheat the motors). Impressive that instead of wasting the heat from the motors they actual capture and use the heat, assuming when needed. I'm confused about Drag Strip mode. I understand the part about setting traction limits, again...

    Drag Strip Mode - Details Wanted - Model S Plaid

    I am reaching out in the hopes of understanding the details of what the Model S Plaid does when entering Drag Strip Mode. The battery pack is preconditioned to optimize power output - this one I understand. A friend shared that in addition to the temperature optimization of the battery pack...

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    I luv the dialogue Luke. I can't provide data, but can share my experience. First, I feel very confident I can detect brake performance degradation. For my style / personal preference, brakes must always be perceived as being able to slow the car down or I lose confidence in the performance...

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    Please don't get me wrong, I would love for track mode / software update to solve this issue. Just not sure it will. Either way, it's snowing up here now so I have the winter to wait for that update. Fingers crossed

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    About 3 years of track experience. A few races, but mostly as a weekend warrior. I own a few track only cars that I use to learn and have some fun with.

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    My experience on the road, if aggressively slowing from highway speeds for say a few off ramps, causes far more brake fade than I feel comfortable with. As such, I'm going in a straight line and then braking. Just don't see how a software fix / track mode would help. Best I can tell, given...

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    To be sure I understand (sorry I'm a newbie). I can replace both the front and rear calipers without losing any of the Autopilot functions?

    Model S Plaid Brakes Are Terrible!

    Great material on this topic, thank you. I just picked up my first Tesla, a Model S Plaid. Incredible piece of tech but was very suprised on how underwhelming the brakes were. Lots of fade... As many have previously said, does not inspire confidence. I am researching upgrading the brakes...
