    2015 Model S 70D battery questions

    i do feel 10% is pretty good after 8 years. however, i dont feel i get that energy profile results. sometimes im getting 50-75% efficiency (i.e., start with range of 150 miles, and i end up only with 75miles). of couse some of that is due to driving up and down hills. im not getting...

    Supercharger - West Hollywood, CA (LIVE 2 Sep 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    i concur with weho being strict with charging for any violation. i once parked at mels diner, was eating, and came back and got a ticket for no front plate. i used this charger two days ago and didnt pay. but i have a feeling they will crack down on this at some point.

    Lifetime Alignment Cost for MS

    so i called and demanded an explanation and the manager just gave me the expected BS excuse that the teslas are more complicated computers and require the advanced testing, blah blah blah. he really wouldnt do anything. she said if i wasnt satisfied, he would refund me the $324 lifetime, but...

    Lifetime Alignment Cost for MS

    i live in the socal area and was looking to get a lifetime alignment started on my 2015 70D MS due to the fact that my last set of tires wore unevenly (more on the inner wall). most places said they didnt do it. i finally found a firestone in the area that said they would do it. i went today...

    How would i calculate how much it cost me to charge?

    so does this mean if i charge 6 hours to get my 150miles at 20 amps, the calculation is this? (240v*20a/1000)*.10*6 = $2.88 does ran349's calculation take into account my 20amps?

    How would i calculate how much it cost me to charge?

    pardon my extreme ignorance, ive been driving my Tesla 70D Model S since 2015, but not proficient at anything electrical. i charge my car at night in my condo, and my wife gave me an assignment to figure out how much we spend on charging this vehicle. so here are the facts, but not sure how...

    Screen went black...

    yea, i hope you arent right either haha. but even if you arent right, it sounds like the eMMC is going to fail most likely as a matter of time. i live in the LA, CA area.....does anyone trust other 3rd party auto shops to fix this? or just go back to tesla?

    Screen went black...

    extremely helpful, thanks so much Akikiki. awesome explanation. it certainly sounds like my problem. esp since my car is 2015, with 50K miles on it now, and im noticing maps being an issue lately.

    ohhhh boy. i must confess im pretty auto illiterate and alot of what you are saying is greek to me. ive read a bit about that link you sent me, and it does appear to have some of my problems, namely, · Center display (MCU) is black and wont power on · 3G/LTE connection lost frequently where...

    "Charge Current" keeps changing back to 40A

    its interesting, i had a chat with tesla.com/support and explained my problem and they had no solution. he said that he preferred that i DONT change the car current charge amperage while charging. now im really confused.
  40. J

    "Charge Current" keeps changing back to 40A

    yes, i have one fixed spot that is mine. however, no signal gets down there. so in order to get tesla updates, i need to go to street level. so maybe i need to change the amperage when im charging?

    Maps showing up very very slow

    when i press the map button to show maps, to zoom in to where im looking more closely, i start the timer. there is a red arrow only with ALL blank tiles. it takes about 20 seconds for the tiles to fill in, and then another 5-7 seconds or so for traffic colors to show up. im in the los angeles...

    Model S stops all of a sudden once i drive off.

    yes, i shift car into drive, getting ready to leave my location, and the vehicle goes into park and stops immediately. i dont think its an open door issue or me lifting off the seat.

    Model S stops all of a sudden once i drive off.

    chatting with tesla online now...they are saying this... I believe the vehicle may be having a parking brake issue that would need to be fixed at service.

    Model S stops all of a sudden once i drive off.

    this has happened more and more frequently lately. so i get in the car, get ready to drive off, and after a split second, the car immediately goes into Park on its own and stops. its very alarming and surprising. there is nothing in front of me, no obstacles or anything like that. seems to...
