I appreciated support from the store but would have been OK without it. I'm OK with online only sales, but I think Tesla is treating employees poorly. EVs will certainly dominate sales in a few years, but Tesla just burned some of their market share. Treat employees poorly, and they will treat...

The Denver service center reset both my trip counters twice telling me the car saves a lot of data for each one that bogs down the computer. IMO Either they are operating on superstition or some programmer should be fired. The Utah service center agreed that the trip counters do not need to be...

I was very clear, asking the Denver Tesla Service Center Rep which trips she was talking about, and I watched as she cleared the trip odometers. (Interestingly, the Salt Lake City Service center did not agree that trip odometers would contribute to MCU malfunctions. IMO this Denver Tesla...

Previous versions of the Tesla design studio page had illustrations that showed a bigger rear motor for P options than non P.

Yes this is discouraging. Perhaps unavoidable at Tesla's growth rate, but I hope they will make an effort to get their employee's better informed.

After reading Tesla's reply, I think I've been snookered. It appears gpcordaro's motivations may not be not pure. Regardless, learning how his ball joints came to be in such bad shape would be very interesting.

Thanks very much for sharing pictures. I'm making a note to check mine when it gets more miles and will compare with yours.

Is there anyplace where people compare experiences with Tesla Service Centers so we can get an idea of which ones know their stuff and which ones seem to have BMW plants to sabotage Tesla's image? My Denver service center gave me a seemingly ridiculous suggestion to stop my center screen from...

True, not a crime. Just far below expectations. Given the rarity of such a failure on all cars, I think it's a reasonable expectation. This will not contribute to the success and longevity of the company.

Are you aware that air suspension is a (current price) $2500 option for the Model S from the factory?

I remember in the 60's Studebaker had a problem where a front wheel occasionally fell off. It happened to my uncle. They went out of business. Tesla is crazy to tell you what they did. Making me think it's time to sell my TSLA. Not so sure about my Model S.

I suspect picking up the car does *not* mean the SW is the latest version. My MS center screen would not light up (no control over things like the sun roof) the day after I picked it up. It still drove, and after Tesla told me how to force a reboot, I haven't had that problem again in 7 months.

I'm OK with AP as The Cause as long as we keep the human responsible. Just like guns.

Based on my recent experience, a radio with better reception may only receive more interference from the car. A better radio is wasted if the car's electrical noise is louder than the stations you want to receive.

This week I'm getting noise through the AM radio in my Model S that I haven't gotten before. On 740AM, a local station, the noise came and went as I turned climate control (AC) on and off. On 630AM, a distant station, the acceleration and regen made an interesting variety of whining noises...

So what's the final resolution? Did you get an X? Which wheels...?

I typically charge to 60%, starting at around 5 am, in order to keep my average SOC as low as I'm comfortable with. I charge at 40A. - Mike. Here's a tip I haven't measured, but I believe. You'll probably get better efficiency at lower current. At 40A, my cable is slightly warm which is...

Elon put a hole in "Tax payer subsidized cars for the rich". Elon paid $600 million in taxes. $600 million / $7500 = 80,000 EV Tax Credits. By my research, Tesla has sold around 73,000 cars in the US through March 2016. Effectively Elon has paid the federal tax credit for every US Tesla...

I'm envious of your lifetime average power calculations. The Denver service center told me to reset the trip odometers to try to address a problem where the center console occasionally freezes or reboots on it's own. "...make sure that your Trip History has been cleared. The navigation system...

I'm impressed with all the dialog above, different points of view handled in a vary mature manor. Often not so on Tesla's FB page. During a 30 day free trial, I also experienced things I would characterize as AP malfunctions, but no serious consequences. I also realize that AP is not...

More bad behavior today, and after clearing all my trip history. Whenever I tried to play from my USB, it went back to radio before I could choose an artist. Reboot fixed it.... for now. Computers are getting to be more human all the time. Some are reliable and some are not.

Jump the 12V? Under what circumstances would one do that? Is there a "normal" condition where the 12V can die while the big battery is OK?

After a bit of email correspondence starting with [email protected], I'm now on day 2 of my Autopilot Free Trial. Thanks Tesla.

EVTripPlanner.com is back! I just checked a hypothetical trip, and made a real donation.

Thanks for pointing out the video. I will clear that stuff, no significant loss. However the Tesla service center really did mean the trip odometers. I asked for clarification and this is the reply: "To clarify, [other Tesla Rep.] was referring to your Trip A and Trip B data. If they have...

I also have a 8G thumb drive plugged in, about half full. However I've been having computer freezes and crashes, about one per month, before I plugged in the thumb drive. First crash was the day after I received the car. I recently asked to bring it in to fix my unreliable computer. The...

I've had my car 6 months. The computer crashed hard the day after I received. It's rebooted while driving approximately 6 times since that. Most recently the display froze for a few seconds while reversing, twice. Now I'm asking the service center to look at it and they want me to first...

My guess is that if 5-6 miles is true on the S, then Tesla's notice of 10-15% or 39 miles for the X is in error. Following the explanation above about why ICE have better economy on the highway, then the loss with the bigger wheels should be less significant on the X since it has a bigger...

This morning I received a notice that my Autopilot Trial has ended. However I never received a notice that it had started, so I have never experienced Autopilot. :-( When did the 30 day trials begin?

I too really appreciate EvTripPlanner.com. Used for a round trip through the southwest and it was great. I found it gone when trying to check on a short local business trip. I'm planning to donate when it's back up.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, while one side of my brain is eager to grab any data possible, the other agrees with you that I don't want my data "out there" for unknown characters to peruse.

My 70 shows as a 60.

Oops, was reading the wrong end of this thread, I see my answer. Another problem, it doesn't show a map on the Location tab. Anyone have a fix for this?

Anybody still using this? Is there an alternative that doesn't require a smart phone? I just got it, and enjoy the data it provides. But I can't get any data except when the application (and computer) is running. Is it possible for the program to get data that happened before it started running?
