    Model S Winter Tire & Wheel Package (graphite) COMPLETE TURN KEY

    Thanks. I searched high and low for a 19" wheel that looked like my 21" grey turbines. My goal was for my Model S to look the same with the winter tires on as it did with the summer tires on. Yes, unfortunately I was that vain.

    Model S Winter Tire & Wheel Package (graphite) COMPLETE TURN KEY

    Not sure. These are 19" wheels with winter tires intended for a Model S. Purpose of this set would be to swap the performance wheels out with 19" winter tires for winter season driving. (which frankly the 19" wheels did ride much more comfortable than the 21"). Doesn't a Model 3 use 18" tires?

    Supercharger - Myrtle Beach, SC

    I'm pleased to report that construction on this SC has begun today 2/21/17. Here are photos of the progress today. The construction crew was very polite and helpful, but they made it clear that they could not say when construction of this SC would be complete. They deferred to Tesla for that...

    Supercharger - Myrtle Beach, SC

    I'm in the area, so I decided to scout out this location. Looks like nothing is happening fast... The proposed location in the parking lot has a white paint dashed line around the perimeter. This is likely the same as what was reported by Brad on Dec 12. There is a conduit bundle that was...

    [Wilkes-Barre, PA] 2 80A HPWC @ Breaker Brewing

    Just a heads up regarding the destination chargers at Breaker Brewing Company... These chargers are now kept powered off. We arrived about 45 minutes before opening and they were dead. We ran into staff outside and they explained that people were using them and not patronizing them. They...

    Supercharger - Newark, DE

    Technically Tesla IS getting that info out, at least to some. It shows up on my MCU as temporarily down. But that might be because I used navigation to build a route through Newark DE. It would be interesting to see what happens if those folks in Florida, California, and elsewhere that...

    Watts per mile - Typical values versus speed?

    Not on a P. And It depends where you live (and how you drive, but I would anticipate driving style will average out). In Maryland, where we have mid-hot summers and mid-cold winters, and only small hills, I am seeing an average of 349 w/m over 18000 miles and all 4 seasons on a p85d, 21"

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

    I am disabling Autolock (Goodbye Autolock)

    I needed to keep my car unlocked in the garage before and I've done that by getting out of the car, single-tapping the keyfob to lock, and then double-tapping the keyfob to unlock. The handles will retract but the car remains unlocked.

    All weather mats being redesigned

    Yes, my mats were screwed down, installed upon vehicle delivery before I took it home, installed by the Tesla service center itself. This is not a matter of the mat moving. This is the very unfortunate circumstance of the top of the mat and the bottom of the accelerator pedal aligning...

    All weather mats being redesigned

    Sorry, to be more clear with my complaint - the problem I had was the top of the mat was exactly even with the bottom of the accelerator pedal. I'm talking exact. So when I punched the accelerator to the floor, the top of the mat would come in contact with the bottom of the rubber on the...

    All weather mats being redesigned

    Good. Maybe they won't hold the accelerator down anymore. When I picked up my P85D I almost had a "Toyota" experience on the way home. After I determined I could duplicate the problem every time I punched it, I cut about 2" off the mat under the pedals. I hope they are redesigning them so...

    LTE Upgrade, Did YOU Do It?

    I agree. After the SC had me do various reboots, they have been "working" on this for 3 weeks now, supposedly from remote. (In other words, I'm my opinion they aren't interested). I wonder how much they are going to charge me to put 3G back?

    LTE Upgrade, Did YOU Do It?

    I highly recommend AGAINST it! Basically my car has been useless since I "upgraded" to LTE. In the first 10 months of ownership (using 3G) I think my internet music stopped playing 3 times and a GPS map tile would fail to load at a frequency of every week or two. Now that I "upgraded" to...

    Exterior Repairs, Body Shops, MD Area - Thoughts/Comments

    FWIW Euro Pro painted my front quarter panel. I would rate them 4 out of 5 stars. Not bad, but watch for orange peel. I had to send it back. I'm not sure Criswell would be any better.

    Just curious do all Tesla-certified places charge the same? I know Crisswell in Annapolis is Tesla-certified, just don't know if it's worth the phone call.

    Ideal charge limit for new MS 85 (100 miles per day usage)

    It's not just SOC - Don't forget the other "big" factor in good battery behavior, and that is charge rate! I've been told by Tesla (both the local SC as well as the toll-free service) that the BEST thing you can do for your battery is to charge it slowly so that it reaches your desired SOC...

    Supercharger - Tannersville, PA

    I visited this SC twice this past weekend on my road trip to see family for Christmas. Not much more to say other than its definitely working, it's FAST, and the mall security is doing a great job keeping the spots from being ICEd. I was disappointed with the food choices, and walking 100+...

    Tesla Upgrade - Trade-in VS Sell

    Saving $40,000

    In my experience my P85D makes a constant motor whine. I find I'm less aware of the electric nature and more into the overall driving experience when driving the S85. And the whine is worse when turning on range mode, the torque sleep makes the whine sound more "raspy"

    Saving $40,000

    I could have saved $40,000 on my MS. And you can too. My P85D is in the shop, and the valet was kind enough to bring me the same color, similarly equipped S85 as the loaner. Yes, my P85D is faster, but unreasonably so. You can't really use it much. I don't punch it anymore because every...

    P85D: 10,000 miles in

    1500mi on mine. Question for all of you, do you leave "range mode" on to take advantage of torque sleep? I keep my "range mode" on, and I'm averaging about 360-370 W/Mi. I just wish there was a way to take advantage on torque sleep without losing HVAC performance.

    J1772 EVSE or direct UMC connect to 240v outlet?

    That's awesome news to me!! So you charge at the full 80A each night? Up to what percent of charge? You are getting 265mi now, what did you get when your battery was new?

    J1772 EVSE or direct UMC connect to 240v outlet?

    That's a great question, and one you should ask Tesla. It's probably related to what they refer to as the "supercharging penalty". I was so disappointed in what the local Tesla shop told me that I called CA and asked if it was true. Unfortunately CA verified the same. Although I want to...

    J1772 EVSE or direct UMC connect to 240v outlet?

    That is the opposite of what I said. After spending thousands for dual chargers and getting an extra 100A circuit wired to my garage, I learned that Tesla recommends charging at much less for the purposes of battery longevity. They recommend dialing down the charge amperage from 80 to the...

    J1772 EVSE or direct UMC connect to 240v outlet?

    Stick with your 30a EVSE. Lesson learned. I have a 30a EVSE for my BMW I3. When I ordered my P85D I spent thousands upgrading the power to my garage to accommodate the Tesla HPWC. Then when it arrived the Tesla shop told me to dial the P85D charge current down from 80A to 20-to-30A for battery...
