I have found that it only identifies open spots between two vehicles, not open spaces without vehicles. While I tested this many times, I don't use it because I don't want to be parked so closely to other vehicles.

I have no interest in arguing. Goodbye.

@RKap, not sure what you mean. If the TACC was set to 65MPH, and with a car in front of you doing 55MPH, you will do 55MPH.. However, if the car in front changed lanes or was no longer present, you would increase to 65MPH, the speed set on TACC regardless of what the traffic on the other lanes...

@ratsbew You got that all wrong. Telsa vehicles are smart enough to only use renewable energy that is on the grid. So, they are only running on the wind and solar portions of the power grid. No Nat Gas, No Coal, No Nuke, and no salmon stream water is used to charge them. Just Sunshine and...

Most likely, being in heavy traffic, the Sign Reading failed to pickup a change of speed limits along the way. The OP probably didn't recognize this, as the car was being paced by the surrounding speed of traffic, not the speed limit. Once traffic cleared, TACC resumed to the last known Speed...

@bonaire Certainly. This is a Tax Credit that is used to offset a Tax Liability of up to $7,500. Tax Liability is not based on tax withholdings. "If you had wages in the year and Federal taxes taken out during the year, then you can get the full 7500 as a refund even if you owe $0 on your...

lol, I had the same thought. I wonder if his CPA will give a refund for offering incorrect advice.

Please PM me with a NDA. I have experience as a successful entrepreneur. My dealing were providing creative service solutions to multi-billion dollar national and multi-national corporations. I, too, have a multi-billion dollar idea for BEV services and would be interested in possibly working...

I was just reviewing the OP comments. I researched his company and they are a wholesaler of batteries that has grown due to the increasing use use of lead cell rechargeable batteries. So, his solution appears not to be related to his company. So, the use of his name and company is simply to...

Withheld is incorrect. It is solely an offset of tax liability up to $7,500.

Sorry, but I find this to be a publicity stunt. If a serious buyer of at least $6,000,000 worth of vehicles were to truly reach out to an auto manufacturer, there would be no difficulty finding the correct executive. Secondly, to place such a request on Twitter and other Public Forums, again...

Luxury - MB Sportiness - MS Fit/Finish/Comfort - MB Performance - MS Technology - MS Service - MB I owned a MB AMG S63. I really miss the interior comfort of that car. The Model S is tops of anything I've had as far as performance. I no longer drive long distances, so I would continue to...

Your answer could not be more off base and bordering untrue. Please research the subject and see if you might want to modify your answer to be a bit more helpful to people, rather than misleading.

@ch3mtrailz Hi, I am really curious what your CPA had to say about the subject. Would you share, please?

Would you say 'Absolutely' if the Model 3 were to be your primary mode of transportation?

The silence is deafening, in my Model S!

Unfortunately, a lot of kids on this TMC crowd are quite biased. Just know that the Hater's are gonna Hate, no matter how correct you are. I just go to their profile page, find a recent comment of theirs and Dislike it in return. lol

@m3chhawk I bought my MS 85D in Austin, TX and drove it home to Florida. I had one stretch on I-10 that is very similar to your stretch of 210 miles. Here are my comments and thoughts. The stretch was from Baton Rouge to Mobile. It was 199 miles. I fully charged to 100% in anticipation of...

@Swissmoneychf There is a difference between filing for bankruptcy and going out of business. Tesla Motors will never go out of business in our lifetimes. However, their debt will be so staggering after the Model 3 goes into production that it is possible that they will need to restructure...

@grichard You have two items to attack separately. 1. You will need to provide an air gap break point between your main panel feed and the electric meter. So, you will need to install some type of manual or automated isolation device to prevent back feeding to the utility. 2. To overcome...

@SDRick have you tried TeslaFi, yet? It has some very interesting Efficiency Statistics for both driving and charging. FWIW

@green1 please share all the bits and bytes you can. I would love to know how much of the operating system is able to be modified. There are so many things I would like to change about how my Model S operates. And then, when the Model 3 comes out, I hope a lot of this will transfer to it to...

GSP is correct. I made the 6-20 setup myself. It allows me to use the Turbo cord that came with the wife's Volvo, but I can unplug from the 14-50 if I need to use the 14-50. Plus, since we have Model 3s on reservation, the 14-50 can be used for one of them.

50A circuit for the 14-50 and I installed a 80A circuit for the HPWC. If you are looking to daisy chain two HPWC in the future, then make it a 100A circuit for the HPWC.

I read in these forums that the Model X AC is either failing or not cooling properly in the high-heat areas. Any truth to this?

Thank you @msnow.

I am hoping it was a typo and you meant a 14-50 outlet. If so, it IS NOT the same wiring! A 14-50 is a four-wire outlet. Two 120VAC hot leads, a neutral and a ground. The Tesla HPWC is a three- wire device. Two 120VAC hot wires and a ground. There is no neutral. So, the neutral would need...

@sorka I know what you mean. We used to live down the road from a Chevy factory. Whenever my car needed an oil change I would take it to the factory and they would just give me a new car. I wonder if Tesla will do the same for you working so close.

Here is the other thread - Hit Curb and now it's the start of month 4 Waiting for Repair

someone posted a week ago or so that they ran their Model S into a curb at 55 MPH and tore the front drivetrain apart. I think he said it was 3 - 4 months. And, he raised a little Hell on this forum and got the attention of Tesla folks who stepped in and sped things up.

@habanero69 Is your house fed with overhead wires from the power transformer? How far is it from your existing meter base to where you will charge your car? I have an idea, depending on the layout of your electrical service.

When you lease a Tesla, they use US Bank. US Bank allows one transfer, but there has to be 12 months or more remaining in the lease. The lease transfer costs $600. $150 for an application fee and $450 for a transfer fee. Once the transfer is approved by US Bank, the original leasee is...

Push the stalk forward to deactivate TACC and AP

There is a setting on the driver assist page that limits when AP will work. My car is not here to take a picture of the screen. Double check the settings.

What speed limit do you have set steering assist? You could have been going too fast, is a guess

@Vittitow It is really easy to say congrats on buying a Telsa, the best car in the world, blah, blah, blah. But, you asked for financial advice "What I'm really looking for as an advice or words of wisdom with making such a large financial commitment at a young age." So, here goes...

Nope. The planet started warming many hundreds of thousands of years and the glaciers have been retreating ever since. My ownership of a Telsa Motor vehicle has NOTHING to do with saving the planet. I just like accelerating really quickly!

Read the pdf as it has the details including mentioning $1000 residential credit

Use Form 8911 to figure your credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property you placed in service during your tax year. Consumers who purchased qualified residential fueling equipment prior to December 31, 2016, may receive a tax credit of up to $1,000. Unused credits that qualify as...

I searched Leasetrader.com and swapalease.com. I found a 2015 85D with 3,000 miles for 895/mo lease takeover. All I had to pay was $500 to US Bank for the lease takeover application and transfer cost. I have 25 months remaining, which should be enough time for my M3s to be ready. If the M3s...

One other thing, AP has a great tendency to abort while making a sweeping left hand, off-camber turn. I imagine it is because the camera loses sight of the right side lane markings. This can be very hazardous if you are not expecting it! Imagine what happens to the car when making a left...

I have been experimenting with AP since I got my car. I have a 85D. The wheels have yet to lose traction in rain or sand. I tried AP while it was raining. I had the steering wheel in my hand and my foot was covering the pedals. I specifically put the car in the lan were I saw a large puddle...

Nice job at a fair price.

Any pictures? How much did he charge?

Will a Model S fit in your garage? What is the largest vehicle that you have fit in your garage?

Most likely, Telsa has negotiated a discounted rate for electricity at the Supercharger locations, if Tesla agreed to curtail usage during Peak Demand times when the utility sends out alerts. This is a very common practice across the United States for utilities to 'Peak Shave' by reducing load...

You don't own the car, the leasing company does. You are just borrowing it. They get to make the rules. Yes, a $500 deductible is commonplace for leases.

In electrical theory, 'line loss' or 'heat loss' is equal to Resistance * Current Squared or more easily said as 'I squared R'. True in electronics or power grids.

Serious questions here: Who is going to pay for the charging infrastructure at an apartment complex? Who is going to pay for the electrical consumption of the chargers? What percentage of chargers/units should there be? Same questions for business parks/places of business.

Although I love my Model S, I will not use it again for long distance travelling (Over 500Mi.) I bought my Model S in Texas and drove it back home to Florida. I did that so that I could have an extended learning period for the car, functions, supercharging and range expectations. I loved the...
