    Automatic Change from 40 Amp to 30 Amp charge rate

    I have had similar problems at home and the local service center read codes for HIGH voltage, not low. There is apparently a +/- voltage tolerance and exceeding either causes it to drop back from 40 to 30 A.

    How slow does the Model S accelerate in valet mode?

    I just did this test today. See the following thread for more information. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/45815-Valet-vs-Standard-Performance-Measurements

    Valet vs. Standard Performance Measurements

    Since the release of firmware 6.2, valet mode has offered a "fun limiting" option for handing your Model S over to anyone else (valet, spouse, teenager, etc.). I wanted to quantify how much the fun was limited. Below are comparative results for my vehicle between valet and standard modes. I...

    Vendor Rial Lugano "Tesla Turbine" 19x8.5" wheels now accept your Tesla center caps

    Since I never installed my winter wheels this season, here are two bench top photos of the color match between the Tesla OEM center cap and the grey wheels.

    1.21 GigaWatt Supercharger

    I was driving home from my first long distance trip in my P85+ and pulled into the Beaver, UT supercharger. The minute I exited the car to plug in, another revolutionary car pulled in. The owner had been following me for 30 miles and wanted to talk about electric cars. Seemed like a good...

    007 Submarine Easter Egg

    Repeat the T and 007 to undo. It's a toggle.

    Warranty

    Interesting. That's what I thought until my service advisor said it had to be BEFORE expiration. Since you buy it online, I suppose it is in the hands of the website.

    Model S Inside Temp / solid roof vs PANO

    In addition to everything above, the pano offers the ability to vent the roof and pull a lot of heat out quickly. Nice to be able to do it remotely with the mobile app as well. +1 for getting the pano.

    Warranty

    One other thing on the purchase of an extended warranty. It has to be before 3 years and 11 months or 49,000 miles, whichever is first. Don't miss the fact that you have to beat both deadlines.

    random chitchat

    That's my daughter, BTW. I guess my first real post has taught me already to avoid anything at all distracting from the topic. She's flattered in a creepy kind of way.

    Calibrating Backup Lines

    For those of us driving classic vintage Model S vehicles (mine is a mid-2013 P85+) that lack parking sensors, the introduction of backup lines on the rearview camera with 6.1 can be helpful. My previous vehicle had some extra lines on the backup camera that helped to determine distances and...

    How does a Supercharger work?

    Are the A and B sides marked in some way? Sounds like you want to select the A side whenever possible to avoid reduced charge rate when someone else arrives.

    Buying used - how to setup me as owner?

    I just did this process with Denarius' P85+ that I now own. Really pretty simple. 1. Setup an myTesla account here https://my.teslamotors.com/user/login 2. When you register the car (temporary or permanent) send the following information to [email protected] · Color copy or...

    Utah Service Center

    Talked to Adam (local service tech) today about the service center. He hinted that it would be open within a few weeks. There have been quite a few SLC job listings on the Tesla career website too.

    Vendor Rial Lugano "Tesla Turbine" 19x8.5" wheels now accept your Tesla center caps

    I bought a set of the grey wheels with Michelin xi3 tires. My stock wheels are silver, so the center caps might fit but they won't match color. After unsuccessful searches for grey caps, I called Tesla service. They delivered 4 new grey caps today for the low price of $5 each. Stock caps! Photos...

    Supercharger - West Wendover, NV

    I noticed the Wendover supercharger is available on Nav Places today. Perhaps it has been there for a few days, but I guess that makes the whole thing legit. I'll be taking Denarius' "old" P85+ out there this weekend for a look.

    Where can I find 30 Amp NEMA 14-50 cords?

    I picked up a 6 foot 14-50 cord (50 A and 6 gauge) at Home Depot this weekend. It had a male plug on one end and ring lugs on the other. About $23.
