    If I have lifetime free supercharging on a US based tesla, and import it to Europe, will the lifetime supercharging still work on the same car while it is temporarily imported in Europe too?

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Talk about hypocrisy. You wrote me to tell me that I cannot say something on a public forum? I didn't violate any rules. But here you are trying to supress me, while complaining that I was doing exactly that, you decide to do it yourself while criticizing that action? Lol. You are hilarious...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    End result of this round with Tesla: They told me they'd get back to me on the data I emailed them after researching with their tech team - but they never did, completely ignoring it instead. I spent hours compiling the data from pictures of my cars dashboard from every trip and sent it to...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    They still have my car, and I got SMT and the adaptor. What should I look for with pack capacity? First time user of the app.

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    So you think it's reasonable that they said in writing there are problems with the battery, and they will research further to get back to me - but the only research was to say after 1 full month that they can't tell me what the problems are and that the 8 year battery warranty was not valid for...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Updates: After providing all the data to the techs showing I can only use about 42-48 kWh from 90% down to 20%, and it takes 61-63 kWh of charge to get back to the same initial battery charge level, and after them telling me they are concerned by this problem, and will be escalating in...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    So, during this visit, the techs said (in writing) that they see problems with my battery pack and BMS, and are having meetings to review, and will call me back. They said they'd escalate to higher level techs / engineering for research. They did not call me back, other than today to say there...

    2013 S85 Battery Replacement (Out of warranty) - my experience

    Got a call today from a lead tech who is there temporarirly that flies in the face of what they said before. He doesn't know any of the other techs names of people I've talked to in a month of my car being there. The other techs said they'd give me follow ups, but he says they won't and I need...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Also noteworthy: On TeslaFi, of of the all P85D in their database with similar mileage (68,000 - 70,000 mi), ALL 24 of the other vehicles have greater range than mine, by an average of 16 miles. Mine is in last place among the entire fleet. In real world, my 219 mile stated range does not...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    It expired during the time it has been at Tesla Service, which was 2 weeks ago. It took me a month to get this appointment, after having another appointment for the same thing back in November for the exact same thing. They did replace the drive unit, but that's not my main concern or problem I...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Funny about the account name. I suppose so, if it ever gets fixed. 4 years of no hope so far. I did / am doing all of these suggestions, they are accurate. I used to have a Honda Insight and am aware how to hypermile - I could get 77-80 MPG consistently when other people were getting 55 MPG in...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Key updates, in sequential order: For 2 weeks, I was told by the advisor that the techs saw a problem with my battery and were reviewing and discussing it in meetings, but he couldn't provide me more info or technical details, and said the tech would call me 'tomorrow' several times. After not...

    Another 85D Battery / Charge Post

    Same issue - car is service for battery. Tesla refuses to answer me when I ask about battery pack degradation. Range is approximately half of what it states - p85d. Any suggestions what to tell them to get some help? Would love 90 kWh battery pack before my warranty ends, if at all possible...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    They are still working on it, they've had the car almost a month at this point. I assume it is the rear one, powering the rear wheels. So far (last week), they kept saying they'd have their technician call me with an update, but have still not done so. I asked for updates and more...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    No, it's not the insurance companies. I'll explain it. By 'total' I mean buyback and replace with credit. BMW has a formula for this based on the repair cost - eg. on an V10-engined BMW M5 with warranty, if an engine replacement is $35,000 parts and labor internal cost, and the car is worth...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Updates: Tesla service has had my car for almost 3 weeks. They finally called me yesterday and informed me the drive unit needed replacement (whining noise) and will be covered under warranty. However they aren't commenting as to whether they plan to do anything on the battery - which was the...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    I've also logged the miles, kWh used, and kWh added in each charge for the last month, into a spreadsheet. Interesting finding - The kWh added never matches that used. Eg, if I start at 90%, drive to 20%, and recharge back to 90%, the car will say: 47.1 kWh used but to get back to 90%, when I...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Do you guys recommend any other software for data collection other than the above? It's bizarre that the above SoC says 55% from that API when the car is showing 95% now, so I'm not sure how reliable that page's info is! (Tesla battery capacity) Tesla service has had the car plugged in for over...

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    To follow up, my car is at Tesla service for range issues - they have had it for over 2 weeks already. Service shows they have 'ordered parts' but I'm not sure what or why, and they aren't open again until Monday. But per suggestions here, I tried software to gather more detailed info. Here...

    Could my P85D with new 90kwh battery get more performance?

    how can I finally get my low range battery replaced by tesla under warranty? I've been alerting them of the issue for 4 years, but they keep telling me it's fine. But it's not.

    Model S Battery Replacement

    Has anyone had luck getting battery replacement from Tesla? They keep telling me mine is fine, no matter what. The real world range is half what it says. Borderline nissan leaf levels.

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    Still no resolution, and battery warranty runs out in a few months. I'm getting 100-120 miles per charge. Charging at a supercharger also takes about 1h 45 min from 20% to 95%

    2015 P85D+ getting a new battery under warranty

    I am trying to get my battery fixed or changed under warranty, and have been for years! Any tips? Range is about HALF of what it says, in miles. So it says 235 miles @ 100%, but I get 100-20 miles.

    Battery charging dilemma - wrong kWh

    So if it fails suddenly, will I get a new replacement or an old new stock 85 kWh battery? And what will the range likely be? How does one get it to meet the conditions of failing (since degradation isn't enough)?

    Model S P85D lower and lower range for 3 - years - WARRANTY ENDING SOON - what to do?

    My 2015 P85D has a working battery, but the range sucks. I typically get about 120 miles from full ("230 miles") before I am at 15% battery. Even when my grandpa who is almost 80 drives it, he gets about 130 miles max. We can basically only go 50-60 miles one way before we have to turn around...

    Battery charging dilemma - wrong kWh

    Can you please tell me more about this? my 2015 model S p85d has been getting low range for years. Is there any way I can get it replaced under warranty? Tesla has been telling me for 3-4 years that it's normal and battery is fine. But it's clearly not.

    Is my P85D battery toast now?

    Mine says 240 full but I rarely get 120. % is more accurate for sure, but my car is dying I think.
