What is the peak supercharging rate (KW) of the current production Model X (on the fastest superchargers)? In my 2016 Model S it's about 124 KW. I know the newer cars are faster, but how fast at the peak? Not looking for an average that takes into account the taper, but just the instantaneous...

The charge port on my 2016 S, which just turned over 100,000 miles, is suddenly behaving oddly. The light ring no longer illuminates when I go to charge. For a couple of days it took four of five seconds to light (unusual; it always lit up as soon as the port opened), not it isn't lighting at...

A few weeks ago I got an email from Tesla offering me six years of free supercharging if I signed away the free lifetime supercharging on my 2016 S or traded it in on a new S, taking delivery before 30 June. I'm not really planning to replace my S, but the offer had my interest - to an extent...

I did a demo drives of non-plaid Model S and X yesterday. One thing that kinda shocked me was that cruise control can't be used without autopilot. Is this true? On my 2016 S I can flip the stalk once to active cruise control (which I use all the time), and twice to activate autopilot (AP1)...

I'm considering trading my 2016 S90D for a new S (not plaid). Two questions arise: I have an older 80A Wall Charger. Will it charger the new cars (don't expect to be able to use the full 80A, but do I need a new Wall Charger)? Can I use my old mobile connector, or do I need to buy a new one of...

Older versions of the Tesla App listed the nearest Superchargers and Destination Chargers. I can't find lists of either in the latest android version of the App - 4.1.1 - but the location map does show Superchargers within the radius of the map screen. No destination chargers show up, though...

How about sending someone a message when posts are moved to "Snippiness" explaining what was considered snippy? Some anonymous moderator just moved a NON-SNIPPY post of mine there, for what I can only conclude is because they disagreed with what I posted. Explaining why a post is moved might...

You would think, after five years of ownership, Tesla could make the owner's manual work properly! For all that time, it has not displayed correctly except on very rare occasion. They say there's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't work!!!!!!

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but since the S is mine, I decided to put it here. On a recent trip from Wyoming to New Jersey, I stopped to charge in Ogallala, Nebraska. After a few minutes some other Teslas showed up, and we wound up with this: From left to right we have a blue...

I'm on an unexpected road trip and am currently in NJ. Home base is WY. Windshield was cracked, and Tesla service center in Cherry Hill was able to fit me today to replace it. I really appreciate them doing so, but... Invoice says new windshield is for AP2 and later. My car is AP1. Maybe an...

My 2016 90D windshield had a crack develop from a chip near the passenger side edge. I'm putting in a claim to have it replaced, but there are six options available not counting the two repeats! Four of them list LDWS, so I know it's one of those. I can also see the "heated wiper park" area in...

I just had my original set of tires replaced on my 2016 90D. 70,000 miles - pretty good tire life! My problem - after replacing the tires with new Michelins, the right rear tire is losing air at a rate between 3 and 10(!) pounds per day. I've had it back into the shop three times, and they say...

Supercharging after the Tesla sat outside for the night when the temperature dropped to about 15F. 2019-12-11 Cold Supercharging by Pruitt posted Jan 3, 2020 at 10:02 PM It took about 20 minutes for the battery to warm enough to start charging at all. As it continued to warm, charging ramped up...

I received my S90D on 25 March, 2016. It was a fantastic car. I recommended them to everyone. My 12-hour trip between Charleston, South Carolina and Merchantville, New Jersey took 14 hours with the Tesla because of charging stops, but I knew that would be the case going in, and all the other...

I just tried, and they're a joke. They ask you a question, then after you've answered you sit waiting for 4-5 minutes for a reply. Considering all the software downgrades I've suffered through, Tesla's lack of support or even basic respect for a customer, plus the concomitant loss of long range...

Two or three updates ago, the onboard owner's manual on my autopilot 1.0 S90D quit working properly. When I would navigate to a topic in the header, the page below showed up blank. There was no way I found to make the content appear. If I tried to select "index of Terms" for example, the screen...

Tesla says the supercharger slated for Casper is coming in 2019, but they've said that for the current year in past years. It's a real hole in the network (though probably not as big as the North Dakota hole!) because the routes through Casper to Cody to Yellowstone and through Casper to...

Just got 2019.12.1.1 4b1dd29 yesterday. Oh boy! Faster supercharging! Well, maybe a little but - the jury is still out on that one. Supercharged this morning and didn't see a big difference. Have to compare on a road trip. But the new crop of bugs is certainly popping up! While supercharging...

When I got my new S in 2016 I installed a Blackvue dashcam. It has been an unreliable piece of junk. First they came out with a firmware upgrade, which apparently fried the parts of the memory that stores settings and holds the audio response messages, because the audio messages stopped as soon...

That's the one with the side entry port and the separate cable hanger. Anyone know of one posted online anywhere? Tesla only has the manual for the updated model with top and bottom entry.

I've been having problems with my Blackvue 2 channel dashcam. I recently downloaded viewer 1.16 from their website, and formatted the SD card. INSTEAD OF FORMATTING THE MICRO SD CARD (which it said it was doing), THEIR GARBAGE SOFTWARE FORMATTED AN IRREPLACEABLE FLASH DRIVE THAT WAS IN A...

On Saturday I installed the latest update. I noticed two changes of very questionable utility -- 1. When I go out into the garage, the car senses the fob and extends the door handles. Fine - it's always done that. But it also now unfolds the mirrors. It DIDN'T do that before this update. Since...

If Tesla wants to come anywhere near to building out the supercharger network to the level they've said by the end of 2017, they'll have to boost their construction cadence by at least an order of magnitude (in base 10) within the next couple of months.

I got the update that changes the fan settings on my Tesla a few days ago. Since then, summon has gotten squirrelier and this morning autopark, when pulling into a perpendicular parking space at work, suddenly cut the wheel hard while backing straight in and headed right for the car on my left...

Yesterday another USB player issue cropped up. Everything was fine Saturday when I put the car in the garage. When I began driving Sunday, I noticed that there's no progress bar on the IC for the song being played, and it also doesn't show the artist or album title anymore. It also no longer...

How much does it cost to install a replacement windshield (ballpark) in a model S anyway? And so I have to take it to a Service Center, or can any windshield place do it (like Safelite, for example)? Oops! Typo in the title. Sorry 'bout that...

What with the beginning of supercharger builds on I-80 in Nebraska, hopefully I-80 in Wyoming will start seeing construction soon.

I thought I was immune to the "gotta have the latest and greatest" bug, but now I'm not so sure. In late March of this year I took delivery of my 90D, and it has been delightful! But I missed out on: New headlights Bioweapon defense mode Autopilot 2.0 100 kwh battery to say nothing of the...

Saturday morning I got up to find that charging was interrupted overnight. I went to the garage and was hit with that burning electrical odor - very strongly. I unplugged the charger from the wall (it took a bit of doing), and saw that one of the side-by-side prongs had plastic from the...

In 8.0, the "shuffle" for the USB is pretty bad. Regardless of which song I start with, within a couple of songs, the player reverts to playing the same list of songs, in the same order, as the last time I started the USB. Since I listen to radio for a bit each afternoon on the drive home, that...

I sure don't anymore. Trip Planner and Navigator certainly had their quirks in 7.1, but at least they were not totally spastic. I trusted them to an extent. Trip Planner never gave me any problems, but Navigator did some oddball things at times. like selecting routes that were not the quickest...

Over the last few days, hurricane Matthew knocked out the supercharger in Lumberton, NC. The one in Warsaw, NC also went dark. I drove from Charleston to NJ Thursday night, and had no problems. Returning Sunday was a very different story. Starting with a positive note, my Tesla knew that the...

It's been a few weeks since I've seen anything about it. I'm beginning to suffer withdrawal systems. Come on, Tesla! I-10 is the ONLY way to get across country between October and May! (ok, a bit of an exaggeration, there). But I would like to see some progress. It will reduce my time from SC...

I have no album art with my USB music. Is there some trick to embedding it so it will show when a song is playing? I ripped my entire collection of CDs (some 600 of them) into FLAC files while waiting for my MS delivery in March. I don't recall any sort of option to embed cover art. I simply...

I've had 8.0 for several days now, and took it on a 250 mile (round trip) road trip Saturday. I've noticed several instances of lost or degraded capabilities from V7.1, and thought I would start a catalog. Anyone should feel free to add to this list with anything they've noticed. I don't need to...

Yesterday I was driving down Highway 17A in the right lane in Summerville SC, when some jackass in a white car decided they wanted my lane, even though I was already there. Their right rear wheel was about even with my front left wheel. They started moving over into my lane, so I honked the...

I couldn't find this in the manual, so... What is the tire rotation pattern for the original tires? Is it front to back, or an "X" pattern (and is there a specified direction for the X)? SC is about 300 miles, so I'm thinking I might do the rotation myself...

This past weekend I drove from Goose Creek, SC (hey, I didn't name the place) to Cherry Hill, NY and back, my first real long mileage trip in the Tesla. Following are my observations. Fantastic. What? You wanted more?? It was really fantastic. Better?

This last update to Summon really seems to have screwed it up. I always use the fob to activate summon. After the last update a week or so ago, Now I have to activate summon at least twice, sometimes thrice, to get my car completely into or out of the garage. This was not a problem before. The...

Since the last software update a couple weeks ago (sorry, I don't have the version number in front of me, but I think it's the latest one), my Tesla app is taking a lot longer to connect to the car. I get the little spinning wheelie, and a message that says it's waking the car. This takes...

Now I just need to get it installed. Can anyone recommend a good installer in the Charleston SC area? Alternatively, I'll be in Cherry Hill NJ in early June. Any good installers there?

I searched on this and couldn't find anything, so here goes... Is there a way to make the onboard trip planner plan a round trip?

I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to this... Is there a way I can read release notes on an update before I let it install? When I select a time to install the alert message on the display goes away. If I change my mind, can I bring it back up to adjust the install time? Can I...

A funny thing happened this morning as I prepared to leave for work... My Tesla would not pull itself out of the garage. Every evening since receiving the car March 25th I have used summon to back the car into the garage. Every morning I use summon to have the car pull out of the garage so I can...

If this is posted in the wrong place, feel free to move it... I want to install front and rear dashcams (probably the Blackview two channel model a lot of folks here are installing). I'm having trouble finding an installer in the Charleston area. Can anyone recommend somebody? Thanks!

Does it happen only when delivered, does the Delivery Center do it prior to delivery as part of the prep work, does it link before leaving Fremont, or ...?

My Tesla is being delivered to Decatur GA. I live near Charleston SC, about five hours away. Getting to Decatur won't be easy, so I'm wondering if I should just have the car delivered to my home address. I'd hate to miss the whole "delivery experience" at the showroom, but that might be the...

As my Tesla works its way through the production line (I wish there was a was I could see its progress!), new documents have been added to the list in "My Tesla." I new have 30 (yes thirty) copies of Release Notes 7.1.1. :rolleyes: I guess it must be really important! :biggrin:

The title says it all...

Something going on with the Tesla website this morning? Maintenance or something? I can't get in to My Tesla.
