    Maximum Charge

    Is your car set to display "Rated" range or "Ideal" range? Look in Settings, under Display, then Energy Display. Ideal is greater than Rated. I don't know which range type is referenced when they say 370 miles.

    Multiple HPWCs: Communication Issue?

    I just can't give up on this! I can't sleep at night. jk The only thing we have not seen a picture of is your junction box, where you split the power coming from the main circuit breaker. Can we get a picture? I can't imagine what might be wrong in there. Have you tried reversing the power wires...

    Multiple HPWCs: Communication Issue?

    I would try disconnecting the small ground wire from the comm wire to the ground lug. I don't see how that would cause your problem, but it's worth a try. I have heard that the Tesla is finicky about having a proper ground for charging, especially when using a portable generator. If that does...

    Multiple HPWCs: Communication Issue?

    You didn't answer my question re: "The comm cable is grounded on the master end only". I see nothing about grounding the comm cable in the instructions. What did you do there? Can you take a new picture without all of those other bare wires in the box? You are scaring me! I do see a small wire...

    Multiple HPWCs: Communication Issue?

    In your pictures it appears that the black and red power wires in the Slave unit are misaligned with the terminal block. Did you use ferrules on the ends of the power wires? Looks weird. Have you done a continuity check on the comm wires, both end to end and between the black and white wires to...

    Firmware 2019.24.1 [AP1/MCU1 - just sketchpad improvements]

    I notice that when selecting the new "Arcade" button that my DRL's come on. If I get out of the driver's seat, the DRL's go off, quietly. If I press the "Exit" button on the Arcade screen, the DRL's go off, along with two loud clunks up front. Can anybody duplicate this? What is that clunk?

    Got a VM about an "exclusive time-sensitive Trade-In offer for existing owners"

    A Tesla agent called me a few days ago to ask if I was interested in trading in my 2014 Model S85. I own it outright. I was not interested, so I didn't ask for any specifics on what they were offering. Tesla, call me back if you want to make an even trade for a 2018 Model S P100D.

    Supercharger - Jacksonville, FL - Gate Parkway

    It looks like there will be Tesla parking on both sides of the pedestals, thus there are two for each parking slot, one for each side. I have never seen this arrangement at a SC before.

My timeline: Model S 85 delivered September 2014 Blackvue DR650GW installed - February 2015 First 12 volt battery replaced April 2017. Lasted 2 years and 7 months.

    Purchasing a 2014 Telsa from a private seller

    That's like saying "I am going to the store for some groceries. Is there anything I should look out for?" On a more serious, and helpful note..... I have a 2014 S85. It has been a great car. But they are all different and can have different problems and concerns. I recommend that you take the...

    Model S software updates

    I can't believe Tesla has not updated the air in my tires. It is the same air that was in there when I bought the car. Jeez. I feel like I could use a forum bidet right now.

    What is going on with the price of the Tesla Gen 2 Wall Connector?

    I bought one of these Wall Connectors from an eBay seller. Not listed as a Canada seller. Listed price $345 with free shipping. I offered him $300 and he accepted. It arrived in about a week. It was shipped from Newark, CA with a Tesla Packing Slip inside the box. I installed it in my garage the...

    New nanocarbon 12V from Tesla.

    The ranger just left my house. He replaced the 12 volt battery in my car with a DCS-33UNCR made by C&D Technologies. He tells me that this is a "nanocarbon" battery. The battery he replaced was also the same model of "nanocarbon battery. That battery was a replacement for my original battery...

    Tesla Owner API Tutorial (All you need is your browser)

    Tesla Owner API Tutorial (All you need is your browser)

    How do I edit the POST URL to remove "?percent=xx"? Also, should there be quotation marks around the charge limit setting in the Body command? For Example: { "percent": "80" }

    Tesla Owner API Tutorial (All you need is your browser)

    I have never played with these API tokens before, but perhaps the POST command is wrong?

    Tesla Owner API Tutorial (All you need is your browser)

    I have the same problem. My charge limit was set to 80% in the car. After I also entered 80% in this web program it went to 50%. I also verified that the Tesla IOS app now shows the charge limit set to 50%. All of the other commands that I have tested with this web program have worked fine. I...

    Service Center Abuse or Normal?

    Like croman and DCGOO said. The chart is showing Wh per mile driven. When the car is in the shop the doors are probably open, maybe the AC is running, maybe the techs are listening to your radio. The car is using Wh but not moving, or is only driven a little bit. So, what the graph shows is...

    Geofencing walk away locking and handle retraction....

    Why not turn off Auto Present Door Handles on the Settings page? Then you just need to give the handle a slight push to present it when you walk up with the fob. That's what I did when I saw the handles popping out whenever I walked past the car.

    Charging in murrysvillle, pa

    Just to clarify. On a 14-50 the neutral is a vertical blade plug, like the other two power blades. On a 14-30 the neutral is an L-shaped plug. On a 14-60, the neutral is a horizontal blade plug, turned 90 degrees from the other two power blades. On all three, the ground plug is round. Cut the...

    Charging in murrysvillle, pa

    You can cut off the entire prong. I made a shorter adapter doing just that. It works great. Yes, the neutral is the funny shaped prong opposite the ground prong. The Tesla does not use the neutral prong at all.

    Charging in murrysvillle, pa

    I am assuming that you bought a NEMA 14-50 extension cord. You can cut the neutral plug off of the NEMA 14-50 extension cord and plug that into their 14-30 receptacle. Then, plug your UMC into the 14-50R end of the extension cord using your 14-50 Tesla adapter. Before plugging in the cord, dial...

    Ways to benefit from tax credit without taking it?

    Or, you may convert all or part of a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. That will cause a tax increase for the year that you make the conversion. Then, when you take money out of your Roth IRA you won't owe any additional taxes.

    Jacksonville FL Store at St. Johns Town Center?

    I went to the VIP Grand Opening Reception on December 3, 2015. Good turnout, both owners and non-owners. They served beer and wine and soft drinks and some tasty horse ovaries. Very nice. Thanks Tesla. I plugged into one of the HPWC behind the store as I wanted to see if I could charge at 80...

    My instrument panel died today. I did a reboot. Did nothing. The driver's screen was totally blacked out, no flickering lights on it. Nothing. I checked the owner's manual for a fuse and found fuse 49 in fuse box 2. I pulled it and it was blown. It is a 5 amp fuse. I looked for another 5 amp...

    One month old 85D - 12V battery bites the dust

    I think you are referring to two different power saving modes. According to the Battery Care section of the Owner's Manual that you referenced, the "low power consumption mode" begins when the main battery has discharged to 5% or less. In that "low power consumption mode" the Note says that the...

After .188 extend = .1502 secs, retract = .1603 secs. Why would Tesla do this to us?! Like it's not bad enough we hafta wait .15 secs to get into...
