    My very disappointing CPO delivery experience

    I wondering why Tesla doesn't just contract out a restoring service on all CPO cars. Take a look at at what $700 did in this example (notice the holes in the front hood that were repaired): Perfect | Fort Wayne Auto Detail & Paint Correction- Polishworks Auto Detail Just think how happy the...

    let's look at this video of a tesla crashing while on autopilot

    Doesn't that produce a warning saying auto braking is disabled during the accelerator override? Seems to be another human related factor contributing to the crash.

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    I'll second that. Or make good on the P100 battery upgrade option promised last year. It feels past due.

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    I would not be surprised if the service message included an internal 1500A limit until the problem is corrected. I would not worry about the performance with the temp battery pack.

    New Tesla App is great

    Excellent! I stand corrected and happy to see that I had missed it. Now if I could just set the charge by numbers (i.e. 85%) instead of guessing on the sliding scale, I would indeed retire my Remote S app.

    Service manual and wiring diagrams

    Those of you that have the service manual, take a look at what is listed under Annual Service. Impressive if the service department really does all that is listed. I've yet to have an annual service and this makes me look forward to it. One interesting note is the reference to a laptop...

    Indiana HB1592 - to shut out direct sales after 1000 vehicles

    Maybe not so bad that Elon has chosen to have discussions with Trump rather than joining all the unproductive hate protests.

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    With an equal measure of respect; I would be spending $20k to match the performance of a P100D, not to match a VIN number range. Financial folly is in the eye of the beholder. Some would say owning any Tesla is financial folly.

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    What? Do you mean there will be no $20k battery upgrade for P90D? Hard to believe since there was a formal announcement by Tesla stating it would be available early this year.

    Max Power vs State of Charge and Temp

    I've looked for data points in Sport mode vs Performance and could only find a P85D in Insane mode vs Sport mode. In that case there was an increase of 0-60 from 3.2 sec to 4.0 sec. Almost all of the degradation for Sport mode was after the first second so it appears to still give some of that...

    Wow, I could not have imagined a better response from Tesla. Assuming this goes forward as stated, it has totally restored my confidence in Tesla!

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    Just another note about what appears to be the second case of a power cutback. Both of the effected owners have used the special Launch Mode. In fact, the P85L owner's pictures show that Launch mode was enabled during his test. I know that there is evidence that multiple counters are...

    Thanks for cross-posting. So much better to keep the discussion in this massive thread. I'll restate my recommendation: Make an appointment with your service rep complaining that the Ludicrous mode is no longer working. I would not talk about any counters, etc. Just an expectation that this...

    Max Power vs State of Charge and Temp

    Wow, looks like you had a cutback on a car that should not be tripping based on the little information available from Tesla. I recommend two things: 1) To keep the many expected comments out of my data collection thread, repost your info here: Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits 2) Make...

    Max Power vs State of Charge and Temp

    A P85DL will not reach 480kW. 450kW will be about the max. As for getting 410kW at 88% with MBR, that is just what you would expect for Insane mode. Are you sure Ludicrous was enabled?
  20. Old Man Mike

    Max Power vs State of Charge and Temp

    Thanks. Note that this is less than 1% lower than with Max Battery power on and at full temp. Shows again that Max Battery power on a P85DL did not enable more power; just that it got the battery to an optimum temp quicker. Looks like that first run at 75% was with a battery well below...

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    That's because no one was able to show a difference if compared at the same temperature. The test would be: 1) Max Battery On and ready 2) Do a launch 3) Max Battery OFF 4) Do a launch If the power is the same for step 2 and 4 then there is not an overall increase for Max Battery Pwr...

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    Wow, I take one day to respond and see 5 pages of posts have already been made. Anyway, you are correct about just turning on MB giving an immediate boost. However the amount can vary from almost none to over 20kw. V3 cars will see the most at above 90% charge while a P85D ludicrous upgraded...

    Gee, that's interesting. All the data I had for V2/V3 guys with Max Power OFF was 480 Kw. Your 450 Kw with Max Power OFF is the same as V1 with Max Power OFF. I wonder if Tesla lowered the Max Power OFF level for V2/V3 to the same as V1. Anyone else with V2/V3 seeing 450 Kw as the maximum...

    Picked Up The New P100D Today....Have Some Questions

    As I read your account, I was thinking that sounds like the sort of people I dealt with over a year ago. I then saw that you are from Chicago and understood why. I got fed up dealing the Chicago guy and had my order changed for delivery out of Cincinnati. So much better. They delivered the...

    That's good news. Maybe it will be open when Tesla starts the P100D battery upgrade installations for P90Ds.

    Picked Up The New P100D Today....Have Some Questions

    Yes, I hear the same whine in my P90D. It occurs between about 40 and 55 mph and also around 85 mph. The frequency of the whine is approximately 2700 Hz +/- 200 Hz. I've asked several P100D owners if they hear the whine and had not received a positive response until seeing your note. It may...

    Thanks, Doug. That was very clearly stated. The embedded notices within a post is a far cry from the annoying banner ads but I appreciate your desire to cover all bases. I still feel that a contributor should not have to whitelist TMC to get rid of the banner asking for a donation.

    Congrats, that's right on the plotted max curve. If you get the chance, try cutting the Max Batt Pwr OFF after doing it with Max Batt Pwr ON and see if it matches the dashed plot.

    Just to help everyone understand the significance of exceeding the Launch Limit counter, here is a power chart which shows the drop relative to the various Tesla models: A few key notes for those that have not kept up with everything in this thread: 1) Only launches made with the special...

    Pack Performance and Launch Mode Limits

    Looking at the data collected earlier in the year, it appears that for over Launched cars, they have effectively capped the power in Max Batt Power ON to the same level of Max Batt Power OFF. Notice where Tech_Guy's previous 511KW and current 480KW now falls on the curves: I would love to...

    What's New - Update

    Still appears to be two actions: Pull down the "What's new" menu (action 1) and Click on "Unread feed" (action 2). Previously it was just a single click on the New Posts button. Also, don't know understand why "Unread Feed" would be easily understood as doing the same thing as the "New...

    What's New - Update

    Correction noted. So it is two actions instead of one. Still a step backwards (and try the "hover/click" action while walking with your smart phone vs a single click) Why not just keep the single "New Posts" on the main Nav bar and relabel the "What's New" to "Recent/Unread Menu"? I guess...

    Sorry but this is NOT true. The unrefreshed P90DL cars can be upgraded to a P100DL with absolutely the same performance. This was verified by my SC at the time of the upgrade announcement. Part of the upgrade is replacement of wiring harness to support the higher current of the new battery.

    P100D Owners - Feedback Please

    Thanks guys. The motor/gear whine question was actually about normal driving between 45 and 55 mph where it is noticeable by myself and other Tesla owners. As Pezpunk correctly pointed out, the gasps and screams of passengers are the loudest sounds in the cabin when doing a launch so that is a...

    P100D Owners - Feedback Please

    As a P90D owner, I'm looking forward to upgrading the battery to obtain the P100D performance. It would be much appreciated if some of the P100D owners could provide some feedback in the following areas: 1) Have you heard any cooling/pump noise from the battery? 2) During launches, do the...

    Help! Can't find Slacker High Quality Setting!

    I'm a bit confused. I'm running v8.0 (2.42.40) and would like to know if the Tesla free Slacker is still running the same bitrate as the paid plus account. Also, I am one month away from the one year anniversary of my Tesla. Does the free Slacker end after one year?

    P100D 1/4 Mile at PBIR vs Huracan...

    No, it is (your reaction time + car reaction time to move) that is subtracted. The point is that just like no human has a zero response time, no car has a zero response time from the pedal press or launch enabled. I think (but I can't claim proof) that an ICE car has a slower response time...

    P100D 1/4 Mile at PBIR vs Huracan...

    Well, reaction time is actually the combination of human reaction and car reaction time. Let's say both cars do the quarter-mile in exactly the same time (ET) and both drivers have exactly the same reaction time. If one car is a Tesla and the other car is an ICE, then the Tesla would always...

    I see the Tesla crossed the end well ahead of the Hellcat so why did the Hellcat show a lower 10.6 time vs the Tesla 10.8?

    Car not turning off when exiting the vehicle

    After update to 8.0, I've had this condition. I can get in and out of the car from the driver seat several times and the display will not turn off even though the car says it is off and the mirrors fold in. I found that the only way I can get it to turn off is to get in on the front passenger...

    Speculation on Firmware 8.0 Download Priorities

    I'm wondering if Tesla is releasing Firmware 8.0 first to high mileage per day drivers. I think it would make sense to start getting the most feedback from the fewest drivers in the beginning deployment. It would also make sense to give a broad distribution over the various models and...
