    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Sorry if I missed it, but can you confirm no camera in the front bumper, and no notable changes to the interior other than the new seats (about which I see you have already posted)

    Vendor Official Atomic Wheels thread for Model S 21+

    So you don't manufacture these yourself? Are they actually made in China? And by forged do you mean spin forged?

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Also, if they changed over 4/1 and it takes on average 2 days to complete a car including paint (not sure if I'm making that up), then at least 4 days to prep for shipping, ship, receive, and process the first ones shouldn't be available prior to 4/7 and for those of us on the East side of the...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I couldn't find a S in stock that I really wanted. I'm hoping / expecting last week's promotions get extended to factory orders this Q. If trading in, transfer of FSD and/or FUSC (at least S and X; maybe Y and 3 should be ~$2K to transfer)? In the S and X, all colors should be the same cost or...

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    I ordered January 2015 and received May 2015, and I paid a $2000 line item for unlimited supercharging. As I recall, it was optional at the time I ordered, quickly became a required option, and then just as quickly they raised the base price by $2K and the line item was removed.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    I'm referring to the improvements in the Highland and expressing hope similar improvement might be coming to the S. Didn't intend to express any knowledge or confidence these changes are coming at all, let alone soon. Edit: I personally don't like the materials in the central door panel of the...

    Need help on "Free Unlimited Supercharging for Life"...

    This. This is what they used to charge when "(Free) Unlimited Supercharging" could be optionally purchased with a new car. What I paid when I ordered my 2015 P85D.

    Who is waiting on the 2024 changes to order a Plaid?

    800 V not going to happen until the battery pack is completely redesigned. I don't see that happening soon. But the new ambient lighting and "improved" interior materials c/w the Highland updates should be a trivial update. Just need to shut down the factory for a few days. Maybe at the...

    Good Riddance: The '22 Tesla Model S Plaid Saga Comes to an End

    When I hear this,, I think about similar experiences, myself or people I've known Don't know how this aplies to EVs but *every* car I've heard of with a multitude of electrical gremlins which dealer cannot readily fix, always ends up being poor grounding on the 12V battery. I'd bet that's the...

    Refresh Model S. Would you purchase again?

    In my experience and recollection, auto wipers worked fine until they were incorporated into Autopilot 2.0 in 2016. Haven't worked since.

    Model 3 year over year changelog

    I don't see on your list .... We have a 2017 Model 3, in the first 5100 made. The seats are terrible, very uncomfortable. I am pretty sure they changed the seats in 2018 or at least by the time the Ys first became available in early 2020. Anyone know? (USA btw)

    What should my ideal charge percentage be?

    How fast do you want to add electricity to your battery? Inversely, how much time can you allow for the battery to charge? You can dial in more or fewer amps, thereby increasing or decreasing the rate you add charge to your car. DOES NOT APPLY TO SUPERCHARGERS No longer brief, but you asked...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    I'm a local, had to stop by today mid afternoon. Arrived in the 85 or so degree heat, 540 PM not too much sun, battery at 18%, and maxed out at 51 kW before settling at 50kW for nearly 25 minutes. Then had enough to run my errands and head home. Bottom line is that this was never a great...

    Will 21" Plaid Arachnids fit on 2017 Model S? - Answer: No, they rub

    Hijack warning .. anyone know if the exact opposite is possible? Can a set of the original circa 2016 Arachnids be put on a new, 2023 Model S? For those who don't know, the original Arachnids were hand forged in England, so a much better wheel than the current Arachnids. But I undersatnd they...

    2018 P75D Bent Tie rods

    I'm sorry but have to ask ..P75D? Tesla never made a Performance version with a 75 battery .. P85, P85D, P85DL, P90, P90DL, and P100D, then just "Plaid". No?

    ChatGPT’s Response to a question about 4680 Battery Cells

    I would suggest to you that a battery pack (not a cell) of 4680 vs 2170 will be cheaper to manufacture and assemble. The cell itself should be a wash. That's assuming like for like; including amongst is that the presence of solid state/dry electrolyte should be form factor agnostic.

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN - S Highland St

    Yeah, this is in the middle of residential neighborhoods, pretty far from any expressway. This is for local chargers. Does Tesla still install the 72 kW "urban chargers"?

    Upgraded charge rates for older Model S

    I have a Nov '18 Model S (that's pre-Raven), saw 204 kW at a 1 day old Gen3 Supercharger, at 9 AM in 70 degree temp, navigated there and arrived with around 20% SOC.

    Another price drop

    Aannd ... some sort of credit or transfer of anything more than base Autopilot for something more than base Autopilot. EG if you paid $10K for FSD you should get a discount on current FSD.

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Do you have a battery replacement? The max charging rate a 2012 should accept is 90 kW (I believe). Sometime in 2013 it was increased (officially) to 120, which might actually mean 150 on the new chargers.

    Superchargers - Tesla is playing games

    Yeah the chargers age out. Seems like the biggest culprit is the cables themselves. Seems like they get somewhat brittle after some number of charging events, this leads to less optimal electrical connection, which leads to heat production, which the unit senses and therefore decreases max...

    Sick of being ICE'd by hybrids!

    Leave a politely worded note on their windshield that you would like to share this charger, could they contact you to discuss? They most likely just don't realize.

    Bestest Idealest Battery charging percentage band

    Sarcasm aside, ideal is to oscillate around 50%. So for you that probably means charge to 56%. That being said, it makes very little difference unless you are commonly going > 80% or commonly < 20%, and only a little bit more in the adjacent 10% (10-90%). Anything outside those limits leads...

    Anyone aware of the current differences between S LR and Plaid, 2022 2nd half of the year or later, other than the 3rd motor, software, and the ability to pump out more amps to support the 3rd motor? Anything else different? Previous owner P85D-L and 100D ..

    Tesla Raising Price of FSD to $15,000, AI Director States "We Can Build a Car That Never Crashes"

    Over a decade? Been a decade since the S was first released; I don't recall any conversation about Autopilot until the A&D announcements in August 2014. That's 8 years, not over a decade. Did I miss anything else?

    Refreshed Model S Longe Range - Real World Range Test?

    Its an estimate. For the estimate to be maximally accurate, it needs much data. So #1 don't sweat it #2 occasioannly take a long trip, start at 95%, dive down to 20%, rinse and repeat. You will very likely regain much of your 'lost' range.

    Supercharging on a really hot day

    battery hot while charging = good, BMS will manage it; charging cable or transformer hot while charging = bad eg Bowling Green is terrible during the sunny summertime hours not bad otherwise. There's nothing but an empty field to the south of the Supercharger (at least, last time I used)

    The Tesla Semi Order Books Are Finally Open

    I think/hope it means the Tesla Semi costs about $75K more than a standard diesel truck to buy, but over 2 years saves you about $75K in fuel costs, so that portion of the TCO is a wash after 2 years.
