    New Software Update is Ready

    I received the message today. It says 1 hour 40 minutes to install it. I already got the map upgrade. Anyone know what's in this latest software upgrade? There doesn't seem to be much info out there with a cursory search on the interwebs.

    Varying charge/discharge levels any benefit?

    Hi folks, I'd say for 85% of my driving I am off to the office, visit same customers, drive home, charge. Rinse and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat..... Got me to wondering: Is there benefit to randomizing the level of discharge I let the battery get to? How about the charge? I...

    Has anyone tested 0-60 and or 1/4 times since 7.0 update?

    I haven't seen any threads with a before and after. I think I saw one the other day where he was going to test, but no follow-up yet. Wasn't there some changes to the acceleration at various speeds?

    Has anyone turned an air-suspension D model into an off-road machine?

    I got to thinking while having my air-suspension on the very high setting while washing it, that if someone had more money than maybe common sense (or just a lot of money) maybe they would have tried putting all-terrain tires on the car, jacking up the wheels via air suspension and creating one...

    Just went for a drive ... and only drove 25% of the time.

    I'm pretty impressed with the system so far. I think we as a community need to be cautious how we use this capability or it could have some negative repercussions based on my limited experience so far as I could see very easily being lulled into a false sense of security and not paying attention...

    First Long Distance Trip - Ponte Vedra to Tampa/Clearwater

    Hey guys, Curious how you would plan the following trip: Ponte Vedra (Nocatee actually, just south of Jacksonville) to Tampa and then on to Clearwater. 85D w/ 262 rated range full charge. EV Trip Planner shows 225 miles/73.5 KwH to my destination in Tampa, and then it isn't too far to my...

    Intermittant Noise in my new 85D

    Hey guys, Picked up my 85D yesterday. LOVE IT. On the way home, which was about 150 miles I noticed it make what I can only describe as a hum, or rrrrrrrrrrr noise. Almost like what you would hear when something is vibrating, but it doesn't vibrate. It appears to come from the front of the...

    FPL Off-Peak Charging

    Has anyone signed up for FPL's Off-Peak Charging program and or had an analysis done? Picking up my 85D tomorrow, already have HPWC installed and got to thinking this could be a good way to save a few bucks on electric bill. Thanks, Jason

    Will service plans be discussed/pushed at pickup?

    Kind of curious what to expect from Tesla when I pick up my car tomorrow in terms of Service Plans. I'm still not sure what makes the most sense there. Thinking just do the annual $600 checkup at this point, but I'm curious if Tesla tries to get you to sign-up for more service plans/warranty...

    85D Potential Performance?

    I'm about to take delivery of my 85D, and I was looking around at some of the performance threads on P85 vs. 85D etc. (obviously P85D/90DL are in another ballpark), but it got me to wondering with two motors albeit lower advertised HP, what would the envelope look like on a 0-60 for a 85D. Are...

    About to take delivery of new 85D demo. Anything I should be on the lookout for?

    Hi folks, After a ton of browsing and finally winning the wife over I put my deposit down on a demo 85D that's being shipped to my service center (closest one is Orlando). Obviously this car will have some miles on it, but I liked the idea is saving some money with the discount while still...
