Before upgrading firmware, the car would just go on its own, which was wonderful for dealing...

    Powerwall Financing

    Anyone aware of any banks or CU that offers special financing for Powerwalls? Telsa offers financing starting at 3.9% according to their rep, which seems a bit high for me. I might be spoiled from low interest rates in general.

    Slow mi/hr ramp up

    I’m using the gen 2 mobile connector plugged into a Nema 6-50 with 50 amp breaker behind that. When I first plug in, the mi/hr is around 15 and it takes close to an hour before it ramps up to 29 mi/hr. Anyone else experience this?

    Interior seat material

    What is this vegan leather that's in the premium seats? Is it rubber/vinyl based? If so can I use 303 protectant on it or some other material to condition/protect it?

    I can't stand waiting for the S85D to become CPO!!!

    That is when the moon and the sun lines up financially to make owning the S85D a reality. So now I'm lurking on the CPO consolidator website, try to convince myself I'd be happy with the less range, etc... of the 70D but I know those last few miles will probably be the difference between making...
