    Excessive Wh/mi at highway speeds

    This. I've already been down this road with Tesla service and my M3P with 20" wheels. Currently at 17k miles, average of 355Wh/mi lifetime and I don't drive aggressively either. Here's what service had me do: Pick a flat stretch of highway and a 20 mile route on a dry day around 70F. Turn off...

    Popping Noise When Turning/Going Over Bumps

    In case this is helpful, here is what my service invoice noted: Clunking noise under car like large metal plate is buckling when the car flexes (i.e. entering a steep driveway where one front wheel goes up hill first and bends the car). Verified customer concern. Found noise to be coming from...

    Popping Noise When Turning/Going Over Bumps

    I've had a noise from day 1 in my 2018 M3P which may be similar to what others are experiencing. Mine sounds like a large piece of sheet metal buckling or clunking when going over uneven surfaces or when the car twists from sharp turns or when one front wheel is on a different level than the...

    Creaking sound in Model 3

    Ruebs, this matches my experience exactly. They replaced my seat and the noise is gone but I feel like it's going to come back soon. Before the replacement, moving the passenger seat forward a little made the noise go away so I'll just stick with that.

    Seat (dis)comfort after 5,000 miles

    Definitely the V2 seats are super uncomfortable to me. This is actually the first seat in any car (besides a race car) that has given me pain, regardless of how I adjust them. The pain I experience is in my right leg from the midpoint of my hamstring up through my lower glute. I'm 6'4", 200lbs...

    Supercharger charging at half the speed it was the previous day

    I frequently supercharge my S and 3 at an urban supercharger nearby. I'm very familiar with the charge speeds at all battery charge levels. However in the past week sometime, something interesting has occurred. It's behaving like my car thinks it's a full speed supercharger and is directing the...

    Firmware 9 in August will start rolling out full self-driving features!!!

    People will know here and there, but I'm always surprised that EAP participants don't readily post more, even on Reddit. I've been in an EAP car and it's always interesting to see "what's coming," but there have never really been any consistent leaks. I mean, the EAP program has been going on...

    InsureMyTesla

    Sorry for the sarcasm. I guess I just got excited for something that could have been a great partnership (like Alliant CU) and I am feeling pretty let down at the moment.

    InsureMyTesla

    I'm in the Pacific NW. Also, someone else just posted they were quoted $500 for 6 months with a $500 deductible on an X100D - Insurance Cost in SoCal. for MX. Now that more people are posting InsureMyTesla quotes on Electrek, it seems pretty bad. 1) $331/mo 2) $332/mo 3) $469/mo 4) $325/mo 5)...

    InsureMyTesla

    To be completely fair, the InsureMyTesla quote I did only had options for $1k deductible vs my $2k. And I also didn't bundle my home on the quote. But those two things certainly wouldn't drop the price by 85%.

    250/500k liability 250/500k uninsured motorist 25k PIP 2k deductible for both liability and comprehensive No rental reimbursement or roadside assistance Primary Use: Commute The InsureMyTesla quote for me is a joke. Someone else just posted on Electrek their quote was $331/mo so it isn't just me.

    P100D delivered with different 19" tires!!!

    My 2016 P90D was delivered with Pilot Sport 3s...although I received four matching tires ;) I believe the Performance versions switched to Pilot Sport 3s in 2016.

    charging slow at Superchargers

    I'm copying what I posted on another similar thread. May or may not be applicable here for some. Has there been any clarification on Supercharger throttling... I have a data point to share. I was supercharging my P90D the other day with the pack around 15% full. The rate was 55-60kW and I...

    Has there been any clarification on Supercharger throttling...

    I looked at the cables and couldn't discern any obvious differences. The handles and cables themselves looked the same on the outside. I didn't take pictures and I didn't read the numbers/letters on the cables either to look for a revision marker. @MP3Mike, this is the Bend, OR supercharger in...

    Has there been any clarification on Supercharger throttling...

    I have a data point to share. I was supercharging my P90D the other day with the pack around 15% full. The rate was 55-60kW and I couldn't get it any higher. Tried several stalls. I wound up just picking a stall and waiting at the slow rate. At around 30-35% full (still charging at 60kW), an...

    New Multi-Pattern seats?

    The material is the same so if you didn't like the previous generation, you won't like the new one. The biggest difference between the two is the bolstering which comes down to personal taste. I prefer the previous generation because I have wide hips and on longer drives the bolstering around my...

    Is it possible to hack the software to unlock battery, autopilot, etc.?

    Some background - I have tuned over 100 cars around the world either by modifying existing firmware or installing a new ECU/computer and customizing it for a particular build. I've never questioned the legality of this. OEMs were never charging money for additional HP via software modification...

    Newer P90DL makes 662 hp at the battery!!!

    I have max battery off 99% of the time. The range has always been 275 miles at 100% or 246-247 miles at 90%. It's been this way since delivery and I have about 9000 miles on the car now.

    Newer P90DL makes 662 hp at the battery!!!

    What is the range with the old battery pack? I have a facelifted model with the 1071941-00-C battery and my range has always been 275 miles at 100%. Are you saying this indicates increased power? I was under the impression that the facelifted model might say 275 miles of range because of other...

    Fan noise (whirring sound) when car is off?

    On my refreshed Model S it makes this noise all the time while sitting in the garage, whether or not it's charging. Sounds like it's coming from the headlights honestly. Never heard it on my older Model S (with nosecone).

    Except that ShotgunF15E's P90DL which is reporting 501kW was built in March. From their sig: Ordered: 2/29/16 | Production: 3/11/16 | Delivered: 3/21/16

    Newer P90DL makes 662 hp at the battery!!!

    Interesting.... Also, my rated range is 247/275 at 90/100% which is more than Tesla claims on their site for the P90D. Would be interested to know what the older P90Ds were getting at delivery. Of course, this could also just be how software is displaying the range...perhaps based on the...

    Dilemma: 90D vs P90D?

    I see it exactly the opposite. I use the passing speed every day but how often would I take the car past 270 miles and use the extra 24 the 90D provides? I know from 10k miles of road trips I can slow down 5mph and get that extra range when needed. The beauty of it is that Tesla offers both...

    Dilemma: 90D vs P90D?

    This is the perfect quote. Well said :-) I owned a 70D for a year before upgrading to the P90DL. I would be happy with either...but I'm happier with the P90DL. I also test drove the 90D a few times. Honestly it wasn't enough difference over the 70D for me to consider. I know, it's a full second...

    Pano and UHFS pricing

    Anyone feel like the pano roof and UHFS pricing should be swapped? To me it seems like Tesla would make more money this way as many feel the pano is worth the money and UHFS is not. Would $2500 for pano and $1500 for the improved sound system change anyone's mind?

    Center console now standard

    Regarding the head rests...I just checked in my 70D which was built in the middle of 2015 (with textile seats) and it matches the "new" head rest height in the picture above. So looks like the old picture (with no console) must have not matched what they have been building for quite a while.

    Center console now standard

    The rear headrests look taller in the new picture. At first I thought it was the angle of the shot but looking at the proportions of how much head rest is below the top of the seat level vs above the top of the seat level, it's definitely taller.
