The fourth item on my list has now been resolved. All of the text messages for all but the one really long text message read by the car have returned to my phone. Not sure why that one text message disappeared. So I would not call it a fatal flaw anymore.

I was able to successfully set up text message support with the new software release (2019.40.50.1) working with my Android phone using Android Messages. However, I have turned the feature off due to what I consider to be a fatal flaw. There are several concerns I have with the text messaging...

I just picked up our Model 3 AWD last week. 90% charge is 272 - 273 miles.

Here is the setup I installed to monitor my electricity usage. The meter socket cost about $35 and the refurbished meter about $25. Ability to track my new Model 3's electricity usage - priceless!

2015 Model S 90D 22,908 miles. 90% = 239 Rated Miles

Boston Area Model S Owner - One of the first to reserve at the Tesla Store

Well for starters electrical circuits are rated in volts and amps - not kW. And for that reason plenty of folks understand what a volt and an amp are. I will miss seeing volts and amps on the display because you do lose important information. When you are charging slowly - knowing both volts...

My lifetime average after 1 year and 12,000 miles is 315 wh/mi.

State of emergency declared in Virginia RICHMOND, Va. (WVEC) -- Governor Terry McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency in response to the temporary shutdown of Colonial Pipeline's main lines in Shelby County, Ala. Executive Order #59 will allow for a state response to prevent gasoline...

Now who has range anxiety? "An interstate gasoline pipeline has ruptured in central Alabama, spilling 338,000 gallons of fuel in an ecologically sensitive area and threatening fuel shortages across the eastern US. So far governors in Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina have declared states of...

There is an old story - supposedly about Qantas pilots and their mechanics. Pilots are asked to write up problems they have observed with the aircraft in the aircraft log and then the mechanics note their resolution to the squawks in the log as well. Pilot: Test flight OK except autoland...

I bought a couple toggle bolts at the hardware store and mounted the black EZ Pass transponder in the black grill to the right of the radar (drivers's side). The EZPass has worked well in Maine, NH, MA, NY, NJ, PA, and VA. Most folks don't notice it. Do you? I'm very happy I don't have the...

I graphed your data and compared it to the data I captured from supercharging my 90D in West Springfield, MA on November 13, 2015. Temperature was 53 degrees F. You are charging substantially faster than I was in November.

My 90D had 261 miles range at 90% on the day I picked it up. My 90D's range is now down to 237 miles of rated range at 90% and is 9 months old. It seems I would have been better off ordering an 85D. I have a service appointment next week. We will see what can be done to address this issue.

@Boatguy @xkwizit @ishop4more @nikielizabeth Here is a copy of the spreadsheet. I've added a Read me tab that I hope will explain how to use it. Direct message me if you want me to email you the original Excel spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions. Tesla Model S Trip Planner

@brec You are correct, the spreadsheet does not include elevation changes as a factor. I was planning to go up Mt. Washington last fall but the roads were closed due to snow. Mt. Washington is 6,288 feet. I'd say that counts as a mountain - even in the west. The highest I've taken the car is...

My wife and I took a road trip from Massachusetts down to Sterling, VA, for an overnight, then to Harrisonburg, VA where we stayed several days, then up to Ithaca, NY where we stayed several days before heading home. Earlier this year we took a trip up to Montreal and Quebec City coming home...

I have a September 2015 90D. The week I picked it up it showed a 90% rated range of 261 or 262 miles. Since then my 90% rated range has declined to 239 miles. That is about 9% degradation in range in 8 months and lower rated range than most 85D owners are quoting for their 90% rated range.

My 90% rated range is now down to 240 miles for my September 2015 90D. I'd be interested to hear what other 85D drivers with 6 month to 2 year old cars are seeing for their 90% rated range.

Do you know why the 19" Silver Cyclone wheels are "recommended" by Tesla? Are the "Slipstream" wheels expected to be more efficient - as the name would seem to imply?

These are the questions I'd like to have answered. ^^^

Yesterday I hit a new low of 243 miles at 90%. That is a 7% loss of range in 5 months. I have never turned range mode on.

I received my S90D on September 23rd. My first 90% charge was 261 miles. Since then my 90% range has also been declining. Today I hit a new low of 254 miles. I did a 100% charge about a week ago and got 277 miles. I had expected 90D would get about 286 rated miles based on reports that 85Ds...

Speedometer / power meter should be front and center when I'm driving This ^^^^^ I would much prefer to see the speedometer / power meter front and center when I'm driving and have no intention of engaging the autopilot.

My new 90D - 90% charge varies between 257 and 261 miles. This morning it is at 258 miles. Range mode is off. I have never turned it on.

Production Start 8/12 Production End 8/19 Delivered Yesterday on 9/23! Over 30 days on the train to the east coast.... Car is awesome!!!

261 miles 261 miles. Just picked up my 90D yesterday. Range mode off. At the Dedham Supercharger immediately after taking delivery.

I'm in the same camp, anxiously awaiting delivery of my 90D in Dedham. Last word on expected delivery was sometime between September 16 and 22nd.

Congratulations on being first at Strasburg! It looks like a beautiful spot to recharge. Strasburg is going to be a key stopping point for my first Tesla Road trip. Kind of funny that my car is in Virginia right now on the train to NJ and then on to MA for delivery in a couple weeks. I'm...

Could you post the raw data? Extra credit if it is in Excel or similar format. Thank you for doing this... I'm very interested in figuring out how fast my future 90D is going to charge... Here is Supercharger power vs. time for first 6 minutes... (I'm entering data by hand, so it is slow...

It has been 9 days since my car finished production and started the journey to Dedham, MA. I'm told it has made it to Kansas City so far.

The 90D is going to be one helluva kick ass car. (Full disclosure - I went with the 90D.) But if you are looking for reassurance, you might want to read this report comparing an 85D to a P85+ (spoiler alert... the 85D wins over what used to be Tesla's top of the line). 85D vs. P85+

Pete and Troy, There is no need to include the clock in the pictures - as the iPhone records the time each photo was taken.

Here is a chart of the 90D Supercharger taper compared to the 85D Supercharger taper from KMan's Supercharger video.

It looks like the 90D is charging at an average of 6 kW lower charging rate than the 85D assuming you charge for 30 minutes starting at about 20% State of Charge. This would be from 10 minutes to 40 minutes on the graph above. That means that the 90D will add 3kWh less during that 30 minute...

What the data shows is that the 90D is charging at between 3 and 11 kW lower power for the first 30 to 40 minutes on the Supercharger. (Other than the 5 minute glitch where KMan's charger lowered its power output.) This is a concern because the optimum Supercharging sessions for long road...

It looks like both cars are adding kWh at almost the same rate.

It was surprising to me. It looks like it will take longer for a 90D to charge to 80% than a 85D. It also looks like it will also take longer for a 90D to add an equivalent number of rated miles when you want to add more than 200 miles during a charge. It does look a couple minutes faster if...

I took your data and compared it to the data from KMan's Supercharging video. Tesla Motors Model S: 85kW Supercharge from Dead/CHARGE NOW www.Teslarati.com - YouTube I set the 16% SOC time for Pete's charging session to the same 16% SOC time from KMan's video. What the data shows is that...

Me too! My car is on the train and I'm expecting to take delivery in a couple weeks. Great writeup and thanks for the reminder to install Visible Tesla!!!

I have it on the "My Tesla" page as well and I am still waiting for delivery.

Thanks! It does look great.

That white is absolutely stunning. Great pictures!

Wow, that is tight!

Here is a picture of my setup. The meter cost $26 from Hialeah Meter. They recondition meters. It looks brand new to me. I pulled two cables from the subpanel at the back of the garage through the ceiling. One for the HPWC and another for a 14-50 outlet. As you can tell from the 0 kWh...

I put the HPWC on the garage wall and pulled the cable from the subpanel at the back of the garage through the ceiling to the front of the garage. I also pulled another cable on a separate breaker for a 14-50 plug to use as a back up. Electrician says code here does not require conduit.

Entered Production on 8/12 In Transit on 8/19 Any bets on how long it will take to get to the East Coast?

I'm planning a trip to Harrisonburg, VA next month. This supercharger will make that trip very convenient!!! Looking forward to experiencing Skyline Drive with the panoramic roof open.

Anyone shorting on the news may be in for a surprise. My DS sent me a note saying "The outage was in the administration building Friday, there was not an interruption to the assembly line far as I know." My delivery status has not changed. Still says Estimated Delivery Late August - September...
