I too have encountered this issue and have seen this issue intermittently since year and half ago. When I took my car today for something else, I let the technician know about it and he said that this is an issue that has been brought to their attention recently and Tesla is looking into it. For...

Refer to https://asleshkumart.wordpress.com/ for details on my several trips that my family has taken in my MS 85 across the country, including the trips from TX to NY and TX to CA.

Just sharing the details / experiences of my 23 day 5800 mile long road trip from Austin to California covering tons of places on the way in my blog AK's BLOG. To sum it up - it was one amazing drive and trip :) Aslesh

When i went to Batteries+Plus to buy the new ones, I had them check the voltage on my old ones - they measures around 2.9 which is bad for a 3V battery, but the new ones measures good with 3.2V on them. So definitely the batteries are good. I will keep u all posted after I take my car to the...

I bought my S85 in 2015 Feb and have not replaced the batteries in both my key fobs since then. For the past 2 weeks I have been getting a warning message "Key Battery Needs Replacing" in my main screen and the drivers instrument panel screen. I replaced both the batteries with new Duracell...

I recently tried out the newly released Autopilot feature (v7.0) and am simply blown away - I took a quick video on the main features - https://youtu.be/LZP0h6Urp44

Interesting. Thx.

Does EVGO have an app for android? I am trying to find one in the Playstore but to no avail.....

Nice. Did yours come with an adhesive or a vacuum suction cup?

Has anybody had any experience with mounting cellphone mounts on the Piano Black interior in a MS? I recently purchased a cellphone mount that came with a 3M adhesive. I am wondering how the Piano Black surface would react to such an adhesive. If I stick the adhesive and later remove it to move...

I do have the Piano Black but just wanted to know what the actual material is, because Tesla does not advertise it as 'Piano Black Plastic' but just as 'Piano Black'. Thanks!

What is Piano Black Interior made of? High quality plastic?

Yes correct, stalk in "neutral" and car in park mode via center console screen. The place I am going to stay at is in a park where there is no electric outlet, so no electricity, I just have to manage the night inside the car, no other go :) I watched the Björn's Camper Mode video, pretty good...

Just curious, if I am going to sleep in my car at a place where there is no EV charging option, and if I leave the car on (put stalk in neutral and select park via center console), A/C on for, say 8hrs through the night...how much battery % will be lost for those 8hrs? Has anybody had that...

My car's (Calculated Amp-hour Capacity) has been measured by service center a couple of times since my purchase and it has ranged from 228-230 which I was told is on par with a new car (my car is 4 months old). After a year, I am planning to check the CAC and see how it does.

I just requested my service center to take a measure and they did. How old is your car and havd you noticed the CAC measure change since you owned it?

My 4 month old MS85's CAC reading was 230 when the reading was taken a few weeks ago. Can 'atleast one year old' owners of MS tell me how much your CAC reading was the last time you had the reading taken? I just want to get an idea how much the CAC number goes down as the car gets older.

After I came back from my trip, today (2015-05-29), a new charging location, Torre di Pietra Winery (with 2 80A Tesla connectors and 1 Clipper Creek J-1772 chargers) on Hwy 290 near Fredericksburg (between Fredericksburg and Johnson City) popped up on PlugShare - EV Charging Station Map - Find a...

Actually i did schedule it ti start charging at 3am so that it would top off to 100% by 6am but i forgot to plug it in :) Anyways, thanks for the tip!

Sure, you should be able to make it...Good luck!

I am soon planning on a trip from Austin to New York, around 2000mi one way, I am going take the Supercharger n/w route suggested by Model S's navigation app, drive about 650mi per day - Texas Louisiana Alabama Georgia South Carolina North Carolina Virginia Delaware New Jersey and New York...

I recently went one a day's trip from Austin to Fredericksburg/Enchanted Rock in my S85. Just sharing my experience at https://asleshkumart.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/2015-05-23-120-miles-one-way-1-day-trip-austinfredericksburgenchanted-rock/

When I started this thread, I used to charge at 70% daily, but after reading all the replies on your experiences, I upped it to 90% on 04/12/15. Initially, the rated miles for charging to 90% used to be 235 miles and the rated miles has been gradually increasing once every couple of weeks and...

After reading this thread yesterday, I also called and talked to Tesla technical assistance to get their recommendation on the daily charging limit. When I called and talked to them the 1st time, I clearly explained him that I regularly have been charging my car to 70% every day and noticed a...

Thanks. - - - Updated - - - Thanks.

[Sounds good. With the change to 90% daily charge, do you still notice the rated miles decline or does it go up now? QUOTE=Todd Burch;961085]I'm a fairly early adopter (reservation #1577) and am now on my second S (first was in an accident). At one point I frequently charged to 70%/80% and...

Thanks. That helps.

I had the latest v6.2 installed in my car on 3/30/15 after which only i started noticing the 4 mile decline. Thanks for the tip. I will start tracking the ideal miles from now on and see how it goes. - - - Updated - - - Thanks for the details. Just curious, you used to charge to 70% but looks...

Hi, I live in Texas and normally charge my MS 85kWh every night to 70% for my daily usage and I consume between 20%-30% of the battery every day, so I start the day with 70% and 186 rated miles and end the day with about 40%-50% remaining on the battery. I have been taking note of these battery...

Thanks!
