    Automatic Change from 40 Amp to 30 Amp charge rate

    So, On at least two occasions my Model S has automatically changed its charge rate (at home) from 40 Amps to 30 Amps. I just happened to notice it by accident. It is on a 14-50 50 Amp circuit. Did this happen as a result of installing a new download? Just asking.

    RFID Problems?

    I park in a garage that uses an RFID tag for entry and exit. It is read by a transponder above the car when the car is stopped underneath it. Today for the very first time I took the MS to the garage and discovered that the transponder would not read the tag when it was inside the windshield...

    Service Records for CPO cars

    My DS called this afternoon and told me that my CPO purchase would be ready in 2 weeks for pickup at the SC closest to my house. Fantastic! Will owners of CPO cars have access to previous service records? It would be nice to know what items have been repaired, replaced, etc? Anybody know?

    Panoramic roof question

    Does that panoramic roof decrease the headroom as opposed to the standard roof? I know that on many cars a sunroof decreases the headroom by as much as two inches. I am 6'5" tall so it makes a difference...

    70D Question

    Does the 70D come Supercharger ready? Does it have the dual chargers onboard for high amperage charging at home? These don't appear to be options anywhere so can I assume that they are now included? Is the old "Tech Package" now standard?
